fuckyeahtranspride: This is my girlfriend. She will never come close to being my biggest supporter. She is one of my biggest obstacles. I can never go on T or have surgery as long as I am with her. All she sees when I’m naked is what’s there not what will happen after surgery and T. She calls me by my birth name and uses female pronouns. She pretends that we are just a lesbian couple. She pretends I am not trans*. break up with her yesterday View high resolution

Trans* Guys of Colour - I need a hand

oh-voldey-voldemort:

So whenever I try to find ways to swim pre top surgery the advice I always get is “just tell people you’ll burn with out a shirt” except I’m not white at all and there is no way anyone would ever believe that or even assume if I were on a public beach or something. 

So does anyone have any advice for what they say if they’re swimming and someone asks? Or any advice on this subject? I hate having to lie and tell people that I don’t know how to swim. Thanks. 

I just wear rash guards, bro. Rash guards are fairly unassuming.

on transethnicity, transablism and transgenderism

  • Not only do transethnic and transabled people appropriate the cultures of PoC and disabled folks, they appropriate trans* narratives. And, as a disabled trans person of color, not only am I offended by this, I'm thoroughly creeped out by the fetishization and essentializing of my identities.

an open letter to ira gray

queerandpheasantstranger:

(trigger warning: sexual violence, relationship abuse)

we are not gonna mess with telling you more that what’s already been said. here’s what we want you to do:

— write an open letter taking full responsibility for your rapes of e.w. and lauren, and your abuse of us and any other partners. do not mince words, do not explain yourself, just say outright that you are a serial rapist, are terrible at consent, are a violent misogynist in both beliefs and practice, and have been an abusive partner in the majority of your relationships. send this letter to every organization that has ever given you a platform, including: the orange county ftm group, the arizona transmasculine society, TRACK, arizona state university’s lgbtq coalition, and the huffington post.

— resign from any positions of power you hold. that includes the self made men, az feminist action network, one in ten, phoenix youth pride, and any other positions that include you working with people who do not have access to male privilege. 

— take down your blog, your youtube channel, and any other “educational” platforms you may manage. never again give a workshop, run or organize a lecture, accept a speaking position, or ever spout your brand of “activism” before another human being. explicitly renounce your role as an educator. do not ever again refer to yourself as an activist, a role model, a teacher, an example, or an ally (even aspiring).

— do not participate in any activist events, meetings, online forums, protests, workshops, parties, or any other gatherings, in person or online. remove yourself from any community where you might interact with someone who does not have access male privilege, or where you might convince someone who has access to male privilege to act as you have.

— do not EVER contact e.w. or lauren ever again. do not contact our friends or family members. relinquish all claims to shared social and activist circles to us. do not contact our mutual acquaintances to talk about us. do not read our blogs. do not read our facebooks. basically, remove yourself entirely from our lives, forever.

signed,

e.w. (queerandpheasantstranger) and lauren (bloodmouthprince)

(to our supporters, please spread this letter around.)

cardboardmoose:

also

does anyone know of any good guides for parents of trans* kids?

i need one to give my parents

i’m reading the gendered intelligence one right now and it’s…rubbing me up entirely the wrong way by basically saying “the most important thing is the comfort of the family” rather than “the most important thing is the mental wellbeing of the trans* person”

which is definitely not the message i want my family to get

and it seriously just advocated the use of the phrase “sex change” because it’s “easier”

so fuck that

anyone?

This is a rad dude, help a brother out?

Jack’s trying to raise dough for his top surgery - give a brother a hand, if you can. He’s super rad, I promise. If you can’t donate, signal boost? :)

maybe he should pay for it himself

it’s not financially feasible, i know him, he’s living as modestly as he can, doesn’t drive a car, rents a cheap apartment, and he can’t afford this. i’m not saying you’re required to donate. i’m not even saying you have to think about donating. this is just something that would really help an awesome guy reach the next stage in his transition. i’m just all for trying to get people to a place where their bodies reflect their gender identities. 

Dude, most of us live that way.

I’m a 23 year old guy who works PART TIME at a Zoo and lives pay check to pay check.

I don’t want to hear any sob stories.

Again, not asking you to donate, this was a signal boost for a friend. Sorry to offend your delicate sensibilities.

Trans activist wins provincial election in Thailand

Yollada “Nok” Suanyot, a transgender model, actress, singer and activist in Thailand, has been elected as the top financial officer in Thailand’s Nan province. This makes her the highest-ranked trans politician in the nation. 

Suanyot won the election Sunday against a candidate from the ruling Pheu Thai party. She’s the founder of a trans activism organization as well as a former beauty pageant winner and entertainer. 

“We barely have any rights at all at this point,” she told a Global Post interviewer shortly before the election. “Our genitalia is not recognized as female (even after surgery) so, if we’re jailed, we’re put in prison with the men. We can’t get proper health insurance. We can’t get married. We have problems traveling outside the country and trouble dealing with banks and government offices.”

Her gender identity, however, did not figure prominently in the campaign, she said. “As far as I can see, the people of Nan are believers in human rights,” she told the Global Post. “They examine my ability to develop the province more than my gender.”

Way to go! Awesome awesome awesome.

Trans* on Trans* Hate

oh-voldey-voldemort:

I will never understand it. If you don’t like a trans* person because of their personality, fine, but not liking someone else because they are trans* is ridiculous. Yes, I expect it from many uneducated cis-gender people BUT when it comes from other trans* people I just falm-palm for days. It’s absurd! Hating someone because they transition a different way than you is not cool, you don’t have to agree with them but shaming them because of it is absolutely ridiculous. 

hold the fuck up, this is a thing?

what?

WE’RE ALL HEADING IN THE DIRECTION OF PROPER INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION

THAT IS LIKE HATING SOMEONE FOR RIDING A TRAIN BECAUSE YOU PREFER CARS

WHAT THE FUCK

Fact:

ftmormtf:

There may come a day where I stop smiling like an idiot every time a complete stranger uses male pronouns when talking to or about me. Today is not that day.
