In: Qualitative report: an online journal dedicated to qualitative research and critical inquiry

Abstract

This personal narrative shares a perspective of a non-binary trans qualitative writer who engages in the reflexive practice of evolutionary astrology. The author focuses on vulnerable, healing and therapeutic aspects of autoethnographic writing, and his quest for being authentic while dealing with difficult emotions related to his "misfit feeling" when crossing the boundary lines within Slovak academia.
