"A Pansexual Adventure Through Time is a collection of comics, illustrations, and poetry that doubles as an autobiographical account of gender transition, lust, nostalgia, pubescent whimsy, and the American dream.
An unlikely and necessary antidote to trans narratives that focus on triumphant peaks and tragic ends, Birdsong's quirky and accessible style will remind readers of all stripes of those tender, random times of life between what was, and what is to come."
In 2016, I interviewed Griffin and asked her about what it means to be a transgender writer, poet, or artist. In her view: "Transgender people are people who do not self-identify with the gender that they were assigned at birth. To be a trans woman is to be a particular, albeit rare, variety of woman.
I think that to be a trans poet is to be open and transparent about this. Trans people often do not like to be perceived as trans and try to blend in. When you’re a trans poet you forego this option and not only allow yourself to be seen as trans, but you also act as a mouthpiece for the whole trans community. Rather than trying to blend into the woodwork, you try to leave your mark instead."
