When Kids Ask "Are you a boy or a girl?"

dartxni: I usually say, “That’s a good question. What do you think?” Whatever their response - usually some variety of “A boy because you have short hair,” I tell them I am a girl because I feel it is more important for me to be a positive example of another way a girl can be than it is for me to explain gender identity to a 7 year old. I am a school bus driver and I tend to get this question...

circuitsandmotors: trigger: FTM dysphoria Once a month I am a solider bleeding out red onto the cot in the medical tent. Horrified by my own body, I change my own bandages every two hours or so. I lie on the cot for hours, unable to sleep because of the emptiness between my legs. I am a recovering soldier at the stage where I am longing for something I must have once had And yet...

Top surgery for UK genderqueers

threepeopleinthemirror: Does anyone have any experience of Dr Stuart Lorimer and the Gendercare clinic in London? The website says that he has experiance with patients for are non-binary identified but as I know people own experiance tell you a lot more. Signal boosting, if you know about him or know someone who does, please help OP out :)

Ways Gender-Privileged Men Can Challenge Sexism

andythenerd: meeca: (This list will be forever in-progress. Please add on as you see fit). Challenge sexist jokes, such as dumb blonde jokes or jokes about rape. Avoid using words such as “bitch”, “hoe”, “slut.” Recognize when you “zone out” when women are speaking, when you value a man’s opinion more than a woman’s, or when you ask a man for information or advice rather than a woman. ...

unknowablewoman: Connecticut congressman Chris Murphy is challenging the GOP Oversight Committee to hold a hearing on the birth control coverage mandate that includes women’s voices—you know, the people who it will actually affect. I don’t know where the petition signatures actually go, but it takes literally two seconds; all you have to give is your email address and first name. I love this...

I apologize if some of these seem ridiculous. - I know that I am a lot older than most heterosexual men in the blogosphere. So first of all, in this hour of bat-shit mansplaining hysteria, if you have some sort of bizarre urge to make ultimatums to the woman in...

The Sex Lives of Queer Woman/Genderqueer People of... →

Hello I’m Micole, and I’m beginning a research project, and hopefully also turn it into a documentary, on the sex lives of queer women/female bodied genderqueer people of color. It’s a short 10 question survey, please give as much detail as possible. It explores both race and gender in relation to queer relationships and sex lives. I seems that this particular topic is rarely researched. There...

E.g. links which cover often-used transgender-related medical terms, “trans-101” style things, including information for nonbinaries who are just starting to think about their gender. Any recommendations for links to put in?

sushiandonigiri reblogged your photoset what about mix? (I think that was the other one?) To my knowledge, Mix isn’t used as a pronoun, but as a title. A title is what you stick before the name if you’re being polite, like Mr. John Smith, Miss. Jane Doe, Mx. Alex Green. A pronoun is like she, he, it, them, they, hers, his, their, etc. The photoset showed examples of...

flashoflife: DO NOT- Ask what’s in my pants. It doesn’t matter, and it won’t affect you in any way. Ask what my birthname is. Again, it just doesn’t matter. Try to tell me what my “sex” is. I’m very well aware. Tell me that I still look like my assigned sex. Again, I’m well aware It doesn’t help me in any sense, and won’t get you anywhere either. Ask if I’ve had “the surgery.” There are...

This document will include a list of surgeons who are willing to perform top surgery on genderqueer/non-male-identified people, as well as a list of blogs of people who want top surgery or have had top surgery but are not...

rylipop reblogged your photo: hormonaltransrex: THESE WERE MOSTLY SUBMISSIONS… I do not think I understand the Peter Pan square? The Peter Pan square is for when people say we’re scared of growing up or that we’re avoiding acting our age, etc.

And please, ALL the signal boosts? <3

You know how some cis people find it really hard to comprehend the existance of trans* people, and get their head around it? Is it just me, or am I the only trans* person who does this with cis people? Like. How weird must it be to not be thinking about gender/pronouns/politics/transition everyday, and not notice every use of gendered language used towards you, and just to fit in like that. Like...

tuuli reblogged this from purplegoesbothways and added: Why would a binary trans man identify as a “boi”? Like weird… But, whatever. That’s beside the point… Gender-neutral for binary trans people, eh? That is like so not cool IMHO.Things like “Other Half” and so on don’t quite fit if you’re poly. I might be completely off on this, but as far as I know, those who identify as boi are...

iragray: Are you afraid that your dysphoria will render you incapable of having enjoyable sex? Do you avoid having sex (assuming you want to to begin with) because you’re not sure how you’ll react? These are perfectly valid concerns, and no one should tell you otherwise. This post isn’t meant to pressure you into having sex and should not be used by partners of trans* folks as such. This is for...

bism-ishazz: being trans is a phase in the same way being a painter is a phase you start doodling in the margins of your writing and then you realize you need a bigger canvas that doesn’t mean you aren’t a writer anymore it does mean developing new expressive techniques and aesthetic sensibilities and maybe you’ll find that painting is the only modality for you, and that you’ll be a painter...

FUCK YEAH, GENDERQUEERS!: Transgender Parenting →

fyeahgenderqueers: A question was posed to me quite a while ago. If I ever raised kids, would I tell them I was genderfluid? Or would I just be “mummy” to them? I said that I couldn’t really answer that question because I don’t want kids, therefore I find it really difficult to imagine myself in that hypothetical situation. Still, I wondered about what I would do, and what other trans* people...
