Anonymous asked: hi, I'd like to know how could I have one of it?
yesterday, while playing with a dog
funkyfest:
someone whispered in my ear “He or she?”
I panicked a moment and just said “…who?”
The person pointed to the dog. I said “she.”
“Thanks, girl!” was the reply.
Oh ok, you want to get the dog’s pronouns right.
You wouldn’t want to misgender it.
That would be rude.
cheers.
torrid-wind asked: Hi, I'm in the process of selecting tags to reblog your "Make It Stop" educational cartoon and I got stuck. Ever since I read Audre Lorde's "Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches" and "A Burst Of Light" (years back, in 1994), I've been armed with a new understanding of the connection between racism, sexism, homophobia and heterosexism. Would you please...
clitorisesandsnorlaxes asked: I am currently working on a paper on the marginalization of transpeople in the feminist/menstrual-advocacy communities. If anyone has any information on the problems that transmen face, the way transmen relate to ciswomen, or the effect of marginalization then that would be appreciated! The problem about writing about a problem that is often marginalized is that there is low research on these...
I might just vomit.
I just found out that I won’t be hired for the job I thought I had this summer which really sucks.
upside?
Just set up an interview with ACLU to be a canvasser this summer for them…

So I just sold my class ring for rent money
at a pawn shop after getting my fifth shot today. I’m still doing the supervised self-injections, but with any luck, I’ll be set to do them at home starting in June.
Oh, so yeah, I sold my class ring from high school. It’s kinda funny because I feel like it’s part of my transition process selling that thing. It the biggest “woman” ring I could get, I like...

1. Dan Savage hates trans people and uses transphobic slurs.
“Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives. Perhaps I’m a transphobic bigot, but I honestly think waiting a measly 36 months to cut your dick is a sacrifice any father should be willing to make for his 15-year-old son. Call me old-fashioned.
Unfortunately, your ex wasn’t...

Online video game about trans* women →
femmesandfamily:
J showed me this today. It’s a quick little video game where you play as a trans woman who is looking into hormones. I actually think it is pretty well done (mostly because it was made by a trans woman).
It will only take you about 15 mins, and it’s not very good graphics, but I am very impressed with the content and real exploration of some of the struggles and triumphs a...

I have no words for this.
I was literally about to post this exact same link with a very similar comment.
Seriously, what the fuck.
it looks as thought it’s been shut down. this is never okay.

handgrenade2:
In even bigger news, Rolling Stone wrote an article about a famous punk singer who just came out as a trans woman and it doesn’t fuck up the terminology and in the whole article uses the right pronouns.
I love Against Me! and yay Rolling Stone for not fucking up pronouns or saying “the surgery”.

Personal questions for people on T
has anyone experienced their cum/genitals smelling differently? stronger?
sourpatchri asked: To the genderqueer anon who feels like they have to choose a binary gender: I totally understand what you mean. As an identity I didn't feel like I had to choose between man and woman, but in terms of presentation I did. I identify as agender and know that I can't present as "no gender," so I felt like I had to pick. Society tells us that we have to. I definitely agree with...
Anonymous asked: I'm genderqueer, don't feel like either a man or woman, but I feel like I have to eventually choose one. I'd take testosterone, but then I'd be seen as a man. This is making me really depressed. What do I do?
Anonymous asked: Hi I identify as a genderqueer person. My roommate who is ftm transgender has been super supportive about it and has transitioned to my gender neutral name awesomely. However, I spend a lot of my time in the lgbt community here at my college. When I try to explain what genderqueer means I am repeated told the being genderqueer is not a real thing, that it is just something that I made up or if I...

Got an anon submission today from a guy who made a pumping primer. Normally don’t do informative stuff like this, but since pumping can be a really sexual (and sexy!) thing, here y’all go.

“Comparing the T use of most trans men with that of “steroid” use in...”
– Hudson’s Guide
I’m glad this is firmly stated. Some things have been happening in my life recently, and misinformed people keep comparing me being on T to being on steroids.
afterromulus asked: Earlier anon has the right idea, I think. Keep looking around, kid, and try things on for size. Eventually you might find one that fits. Keep in mind that it doesn't have to fit forever. A label is like a pair of pants: Handy for having on in public, but not something that ultimately changes the essence of your being.
Anonymous asked: I't's okay, I understand. I guess that was a little confusing haha, well I guess I mean whether it's "okay" that I want to identify like that or is it the "wrong" identity. Like, is there a different label I could use that would be more appropriate?
Anonymous asked: I'm really confused right now. I'm biologically a girl and about 70% of the time I dress on the feminine side. But over a year ago my girlfriend asked if I was cisgendered and I didn't really know how to reply because I'd never really thought about gender. I don't think of my gender as anything to define me and while, like I said, I do lean more towards the feminine side I...
