What a beautifully honest piece! There’s so much in there about food, appetite, sexuality, desire, our bodies and the fluidity and intersections of them all. Cant wait to read the next two parts - thank you!

I adore this work ❤️‍🔥 This is the best piece I’ve read about transition and appetite and relation between transitioning body and food. Will be sharing with everyone I know! we need more trans writing like this platformed 🏳️‍⚧️

This was so powerful. I loved how Lira captured the relationship with food and body as something constantly shifting. Alive, vulnerable, and full of daily negotiations. What a presence, what a powerhouse. I’d love to read more of her work. Where can I find it?

Thank you so much! We are checking with Lira where she’s published elsewhere under the same pen name. Will get back to you!
