hey there fellow trans
I’m Quin and I identify as a female to male. I live in North Miami Beach, Florida. I’m pre op right now but hopefully getting top surgery done before my 18th birthday. I have been very androgynous most of my life and love to confuse people by rebelling against gender norms. At times I feel like I have no gender but I do have to admit that being feminine feels very uncomfortable for me....

Quick Note: Submissions
Hey Transpride followers,
I’ve turned off submissions temporarily so that Gabriel and I can get caught up with what has been in the inbox for the past few months. This is just to make sure that what has been there will be addressed first and as quickly as we can. I’ll post when we re-open submissions.
Thanks for understanding!
-Kyle

In Need..
Hey guys,
So I am pretty hard up on cash, and I need a binder. If there is ANYONE willing to give away a gently used SMALL binder to me, [tri-top is preferable, but a tank would do fine, i am not too picky] it would make my world! I HATE asking anything from anyone, so as you can see I am pretty desperate….I have such chest dysphoria and I just cannot take it anymore. My dysphoria gets worse by...

Dear followers,
It has been a long, long time since we last posted, but we wanted to let you know that we (Kyle & Gabriel) are still here, even if rarely here. There are quite a few questions and submissions in our inbox, and I’m queueing those up as I type this. We haven’t yet decided whether or not Transpride will be revived to the level of activity we had in our heyday, but we will keep you...

enduretheburning asked: to idgaf anonymous: i've felt the same way for many years. "genderqueer" and "genderfluid" have actually turned into terms of convenience for me as they are the closest "labels" i can find. but what i like to think about instead is what audre lorde said, "“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies...
Anonymous asked: I am unsure about my own gener, but I'm afraid of identifying as anything other than cis because I don't think anyone would believe me. I have long-ish hair and I wear high heels when I'm feeling healthy enough for it. I am FAAB, and I like pretty things, Hello Kitty, etc etc etc etc etc etc I really could go on and on. So when I say that being female isn't quite right for...

Anonymous asked: I have a question about cissexism. That yes, I'm afraid to ask with my face attached. I am cis, but I am interested in learning about the challenges facing trans*people, reading about the things that concern trans*people, and trying to understand things as best as I, as someone who is not trans*, can. I want to reblog things I found enlightening that helped me understand, and if someone is...
Anonymous asked: Hello,
So for a long time I thought I was transgendered, (ftm) just because I felt physically wrong in my body. I would look in a mirror and not recognize it. I've never felt like a male, I've never felt like a female, so it was very confusing. I do not have any mental issues that I know of, but now that I am older how I feel sounds a bit crazy. I do not feel like I...

Anonymous asked: One of the reasons why I think I identify as gender neutral (on the days that I do, anyway; I'm a bit more gender fluid in the long run, I think) is because it doesn't make a huge difference to me what my gender is. However, I was assigned male at birth, and identified as cismale for the longest time. Is it possible that the reason I'm not as concerned with my gender is just because...
Anonymous asked: My best friend is a trans* guy, and he has talked to me alot about the whole process of starting T and having surgery, and, as most people who hear about this do, I found it incredibly unfair, and stupid even, that trans* people have to go to a psychologist to have their surgery approved, but any idiot can walk in off the street and have himself turned into a cat the next day, and that cisgendered...

Finding the cisgender angle in the latest news stories
This is AMAZING. Cis journalists tend to point out completely irrelevant details when writing about trans people; this blog gives the same treatment to cis people, showing how ridiculous it is.
Examples:
“Rebekah Brooks - as she started to call herself following a second marriage - courted power but...

kiriamaya:
This goes out to all the cis people who, it’s quite obvious, want to help and befriend trans people, but who keep alienating and angering us instead. I’ve seen the befuddled looks on your faces when this happens, and I thought I’d try to clear a few things up for you. Let’s look…

Painless Shots
Hey Boys - If you ever have trouble doing your T shot try this trick out:
Put pressure near the spot that’s about to get the needle and you’ll feel it less. Just make a circle with your thumb and forefinger and push down a few seconds before the shot. This technique overrides nearby nerves, making the shot feel more like a gentle poke.
