FUCK YEAH, GENDERQUEERS

Hello, world!
Good afternoon, Tumblr! I created this blog to showcase and celebrate the GQ community in all its forms. Here you’ll find photos, videos, articles, and ramblings all about genderqueerness (is that a word?). Submit your own, people! ;D

The UK Census 2011. I’m objecting to this question, because there was no mention of anything other than binary sex.
Some people are actually biologically neither male nor female. Which box do they tick?
Thanks for taking this stand for trans* identified people!
I’ve just published an article at PracticalAndrogyny.com giving my thoughts on this matter and details of the answers given to me by the Office of National statistics before the 2001 and 2011 UK censuses:

I hope you don’t mind that I used a cropped version of your photo in the blog post (linking back to your Tumblr).
Awesome article, and thanks for linking back. :) I’m reblogging in case anyone following me fancies reading the article, too.
People interested in this issue may also want to read about my gender-neutral title proposal.
Going to reblog this because it’s awesome. The more awareness that is spread, the less invisible those outside the gender binary will become. I’m emailing my MP right away. The gender-neutral title idea is absolutely wonderful, and I might adopt that myself. :D

THIS IS MY FACE. I consider myself pangender but I like to present myself in a somewhat androgynous manner most of the time. Which is brilliant because I like hats, but also not so great because I’m not great at it.

The Codes of Gender
In this short documentary about gender as a ritualized cultural performance, communication scholar Sut Jhally talks about the late Erving Goffman’s analysis of advertising and applies it to the “contemporary commercial landscape” (TV ads, glossy magazines, billboards, etc.) You should watch it, it’s actually really interesting. Funny how there are so many aspects of advertising linked to the stereotypical “male” or “female” gender. It shows how seemingly trivial things - strength of the grasp of a hand, angle of the head, balance, facial expression - all weave together in advertising to form the socially accepted view of “Man = strong, powerful; woman = weak, submissive”. I’d recommend it to… everyone.

Sometimes I feel trapped in my body, but then I realise what’s trapping me is what society associates with my body, not the body itself.

When did I discover I was trans/not cis?
When I was in forth grade I remember being put into a group for some project with a group of guys. I remember feeling the biggest wave of relief and a thought of Finally. I don’t remember much of anything before that point but afterwards I have strong memories of wanting nothing more than to be accepted in groups of guys. That’s where I felt the most comfortable, most at home. I first learned the word “transsexual” in ninth grade and came out at trans then. Now I identify as “transgender” because I don’t fit cleanly into a binary gender world.

When I realized something was up haha
This is my first week as coming out as genderqueer. I always knew something was different with me. When I was a little kid and my sister and I would play pretend games in our yard and I would always pretend to be a boy and it made me feel so good inside during the game. There would always be days where I would wake up and just feel like I wasn’t a girl and then a few months ago I started learning want genderqueer was and I looked up a bunch of info and then realized yes, this is me. I realized I am both a boy and a girl. For the most part, I’m a boy. It feels so good coming into myself =)
