Biography
I'm a journalist who lives in Melbourne, Australia, and I've been a writer for over a decade. I started out as a Eurovision blogger in Wiwibloggs but gradually became a freelance writer covering transgender issues. I expanded my portfolio witnessing the growing levels of disinformation and political attacks on my community and decided I would use the written word as a weapon in this fight. Over the years, I've featured in Crikey, Overland, News Corp and Junkee, and I currently work as a regular staff writer for the Nonsense Newsletter. I've also appeared on community radio and various podcasts regarding transgender issues, and I'm always open to commissions :)

By Natalie Feliks| Nonsense Newsletter@ Earlier this month, a British graphic artist called Rebecca Burke was arrested at the United States-Canada border after Canadian border officials told her she was travelling on the wrong type of visa. She was locked in an Immigration and Customs detention centre for 19 days, and her traumatic experience was covered extensively by The Guardian. Her advice for anyone thinking of visiting America is simply “don’t do it”.

The story focused on Cairns Sexual Health Service allegedly prescribing “unauthorised” puberty blockers to children as young as 12, without informing parents or undertaking the required multidisciplinary consultation.
Why the recommendations from the inquest into transgender suicides are welcome, but nowhere near enough
By Natalie Feliks| Nonsense Newsletter@ On 11 December 2020, 28-year-old DJ and union worker Bridget Flack was found dead in bushland near Kew. The discovery of her body came after a twelve-day coordinated search, led by the queer community and over a hundred local residents from the Fairfield area. Bridget had a history of poor mental health, like many trans women, and was attempting to organise support from a mental health facility at the time she disappeared. Evidence suggests she took her own life.
