Creating Our Own Definition of Manhood →
Some trans guys were never faced with “constructing masculinity.” It came as naturally to them as breathing, and they reflected “traditional” Western masculinity, or the masculinity that was traditional for their culture, from the time that they were old enough to realize that they were separate entities, apart from everything and everyone else around them.  For others, it was a more difficult...

Since I was 13 or 14 I felt better wearing boys clothes and acting like one, and recently I told my mom that I wanted to get surgery from top, and I asked her if it was weird for wanting that, she said no, and that I can't have surgery till' I'm...

Anonymous asked: One of my closest friends is trans, and personally, I think I read up more about LGBT current events and information than he does. Thing is, I'm never sure whether sending him links to websites like this and other ones is rude or not. I've asked him about it but I'm still not sure. I don't know. Is it too presumptuous to do something like that?

tea-soup asked: Hi! I'm a writing student currently working on an essay about gender neutral pronouns in the English language.
I would really love it if you (and any of your followers) could share some opinions on gender neutral pronouns.
Do you use gender neutral pronouns and in what situations? Which set do you prefer (ze/hir? Spivak? singular they? It?), or does it depend on the preference...

Trans-misogyny
Of all of the gender and sexual minorities in our culture, transsexual women tend to be the most maligned, ridiculed, and despised because we are uniquely positioned at the intersection of three binary gender-based forms of prejudice: Transphobia is an irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against people who transgress gender norms. The prevalence of transphobia in our society is an...

explicitideas: Why do you care so much that people like us want to start families? We aren’t freaks, we are decent human beings with morals and values that we want to pass on to our children. Sorry that your husband can’t maintain an erection and your sex life sucks and you haven’t had a decent orgasm in 2 and a half years and you’re getting fat so you feel the need to complain about everyone...

I came out to my mother as trans last month. I think she knew by now, considering how difficult it is to stay within the ream of androgyny. I am an Androgyne. Google spell check doesn’t know that word. I’m also Pansexual. Google is unfamiliar with that as well. I have a little,squiggly red line under my identity. Incorrect. Would I like to add to Dictionary? I’m a poet,...

In the span of two months the site has exploded in popularity; over a thousand people now follow the blog. ...

Joanne Herman: More Employers To Cover Transgender...
One year from now, more employers than ever before will cover transgender surgery as part of their health insurance plan. While this is much-needed progress for transgender people, implementation issues will unfortunately create new hurdles to living in one’s true gender. The coverage is a requirement in the 2012 Corporate Equality Index. An employer must contract for the coverage by June of...

Anonymous asked: Hello. I'm 17 and have been dealing with gender issues for a while now. A couple years ago, I considered that I might be transgender and almost immediately denied it. Shortly after I came out to everyone as genderqueer. I've been using that term for a year or so now, I think. And a few months back, something brought the thought back that I could be trans back again. And after thinking...
