Quinn Eades grew up in the Sydney lesbian community during the 70s and 80s, was assigned female at birth. He lived as a dyke for 25 years before becoming a transmasc person at the age of 41. This story is a tracery of his lesbian heritage, and a letter to all the lesbians he's loved before.

Eades has been published nationally and internationally, and is the author of all the beginnings: a queer autobiography of the body, and Rallying. He won the 2017 Arts Queensland XYZ Award for Innovation in Spoken Word, and is currently working on a book-length collection of fragments written from the transitioning body, titled Transpositions.
