Trans Issues

A 15-post collection

Good things and bad things

I woke up to the news that someone I dearly admire was recently sexually assaulted by the TSA in order for the common public good. Apparently flying whilst transgender is equivalent to hijacking an aeroplane and flying it into a building 9_9

I wish I could make it better, but I'm genuinely powerless.

The TSA does absolutely nothing to protect America from Terrorists. What it does do is make travel inconvenient for everyone.

And worse - it happened in Texas. The United State most likely to pull dickbag moves from somewhere in the previous century. You have a bad reputation, Texas. Pull you conservative thinking into this century, please.

I do not understand the TSA and security in general's concept of picking on the people who stand out. Aren't the evil ones supposed to be blending in and escaping notice?

Good news - four of my 19 orders have gone through China's customs. They have yet to leave Asia because of public holidays, but I will be watching from my computer.

Bad news - I had to extend the processing time of three of them so that they didn't get cancelled by the automatic robots. I really hope I don't have to wait 114 days for the orders to launch. I'd much rather start this nonse next month than next year.

I can't stop people being mean... but I can make pretty things to boost the spirits of the bullied. It doesn't seem like nearly enough.

Gotta start somewhere.

Victory for transgender people: Mx to join Mr and Mrs in the dictionary 

For the first time in decades there is a new title to join the list of Mr, Mrs, Miss and Ms. 

“Mx is already used by some banks and the Royal Mail

The gender-neutral “Mx” has been introduced as an honorific for transgender people and anyone else who does not identify themselves as either male or female.

It has been added to official forms and databases over the

So it looks like trans women being able to bear children is much closer than I thought

Trans-Uterus speculations: 

Uterus Transplants have successfully been completed (for cis women) in the last few years:

One (cis) woman has given birth so far from a transplanted uterus

A trans woman has stepped forward to be the first to attempt this proceedure

And finally, science can now grow (cis women) a vagina from their own stem cells

If the transplant people start talking to the stem cell people, this might be viable in my life time!

OH MY GOD! this

starlingsongs:

Of all the things I keep trying to tell cis people, “don’t presume your child’s gender” is the one that they consistently, deliberately refuse to understand and it is so deeply telling.

You cannot truly understand the transgender experience, and cannot count yourself an ally, until you accept that the trauma of being transgender is not inherent, it is a product of being coerced into thinking that you had absolutely no choice but to be the gender you

BREAKING NEWS! THE WHITE HOUSE WILL CALL FOR A BAN ON LGBT CONVERSION THERAPY

The White House will call for a ban on LGBT conversion therapy

The White House formally responded to a petition on WeThePeople.gov today seeking a ban on efforts to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of young people, the The New York Times reports.

The petition called for the creation of “Leelah’s Law,” ideally national legislation that would prohibit licensed therapists from

Taylor Alesana. 16 Year Old Trans Girl Committed Suicide On April 2nd.
We’ve lost 7 trans youths just this year. Its April. 4th month into the year.
How much longer until society figures out that bullying and depression and suicide isn’t something that you just “grow out of” or “deal with it” or “kids will be kids”

Holy hECK

NO ALL OF YOU YOU BETTER READ THIS

I realize it’s been a rough time in the transgender community. Two kids are dead (Leelah Alcorn, 17, and Zander Mahaffey, 15) and one is in critical condition (Damien Shrum, 13, holy shit) after attempting suicide due to ignorant and abusive parents.

I know the news have already been spreading through Tumblr like wildfire, and it’s good that we’re still making noise and staying alert to try and

i-am-river:

So, i read this awful article using bathroom “scare tactics,” which was claiming that trans women are potential rapists. “Men” who dress as women to gain access to women only spaces and force them self on women. This really upset me and i had a bit of a Twitter rant. They were read by others and i was urged to post them in other media also, so i am posting them here. (Edited together in easy reading format from top to

moriartys:

I wanted to make a post about Leelah Alcorn but I lack the requisite words to describe how I feel. But this is exactly what it should be like. Leelah’s death is a heartbreaking tragedy and it should leave everyone speechless. That being said, however, we cannot simply sit back and mourn her by reblogging text posts and saying how messed up this is. In her note, she said that she wanted her death to mean something. So please, help
