Beyond Our Bodies

Elliot and Lucia in bed, Melbourne, Australia, 2018 Lucia and Elliot started dating in Berlin, where they both live. She is from Argentina, he is from Australia. It was the first time Lucia came to Australia to visit Elliot's family. She said that getting outside of Berlin's alternative bubble would always be a reminder of the rampant intolerance of the greater world, and that being queer was not that well accepted everywhere. Lucia doesn't really like it here and told me that in some places people would really stare at them. This is a crucial period in Elliot's life as he started transitioning gender, and they support each other a lot. Even though Australia recently voted yes for same sex marriage, there is still hostility towards LGBTQIA people, especially in small country towns.

SOUNDBITE (Chinese): FENG XUEPING, Nurse STORYLINE: SOUNDBITE (Chinese): FENG XUEPING, Nurse "I am Feng Xueping, 23 years old. I'm working at Wusu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a nurse at the Geriatric Encephalopathy Department. Elderly people are like children. When they get sick, they always feel stressed. So at our department, we need to console them and help them receive treatment without worries. Do you feel better, auntie? (Yes, I do feel better. Thank you for taking care of me these days.) It's no big deal. I am doing my job. Please take medicines on time at home. Take care of yourself. (Okay. Thank you!) I like watching Douyin in my spare time. And I often post things about my work and life on it. Surprisingly, these brought me some fans. And they often encourage me to keep updating." Xinhua News Agen
