Translucent Diva: Let This Be A Lesson →
transdiva:
1. Social Etiquette 101 (For when you talk to transgender/transsexual people) If you make a mistake, accept being corrected gracefully, and move on. You don’t have to be terrified of accidentally offending someone. That just makes things awkward. If you make a mistake and dwell on it, that’s…
I think this post has a lot of things to offer. There are a few things that go...

Voter ID May Affect Trans Citizens →
projectqueer:
By Trudy Ring
As new requirements for voter identification are debated in state legislatures around the country, concerns are being raised that these requirements may discourage voting by certain groups of citizens — including transgender people.
Shula Asher Silberstein, a contributor to Gather.com, writes that a proposed Pennsylvania law requiring all voters to present ...

What Are Y’all Gonna Do New York Trans Community?
pflagmom:
In the wake of the failure of GENDA to pass and become the law of New York state for the fourth time, there has been some justified anger and venting about the lack of support from the GL community on this issue.
But the bottom line is that we trans people also have the ultimate responsibility of looking out for our damned selves just like the New York GL peeps did on the same...

Disclosure and Dating at Questioning Transphobia →
queerfeministatheist:
From the article:
This is a vent, and this is the best place for my vent: So every time there is a conversation about trans people dating cis people, cis people come out of the woodwork to lay down the command that all trans people are required to disclose upon commencing any relationship. They also say that not disclosing is explicitly lying.
I would like to point out...

Dating a Transboy Blog~
Here is a blog my boyfriend and I run that shows the highs, lows, and funny situations a couple can go through during a partner’s transition. A new post is in the works now. We just moved from Michigan to Texas, so things have been rather hectic and there hasn’t been much time to blog. :) ~writeoutoflove.tumblr.com
My boyfriend showed me this tumblr a couple weeks ago, and I’m...

Adventures of a Transgendered Aspie: Thank You →
ramencat:
This goes out to the trans allies out there. Us trans folk get put down by a lot of people, and it’s easy to become bitter. But you manage to pick us up and keep us believing in a better tomorrow. We couldn’t do it without you. So here’s to:
The dad who helps choose his son’s new name.

Same sex marriage may be legal now but did you know that as a transgender person living in the state you can be denied housing, fired from your job, and not served in public places all because you are transgender?

Call for Submissions
As you may have noticed if you are a regular viewer, I’m a partner of a wonderful (and wonderfully handsome) transman. This makes it difficult for me to find posts relevant to those who are SOFFAs of transwomen and other genderqueer individuals.
So… Here’s where I need your help. I’m trying the best I can to find information that is for everyone, but I don’t know the...

So I’ve read a lot. News stories, blog posts,…

My mom says I should write a book
strangecandii:
on what it’s like to be the significant other of a transman. I think she’s right. But totally lacking any motivation right now to write.
Maybe I should do it in a journal instead of in word document. Sometimes that just feels better. The weight of the pen in your hand and the familiar feeling of smooth paper beneath your finger tips.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Yes. Yes, you...

dreinthehouse asked: So my spouse came out to and said he wants to transition earlier this year. I've had an inkling since we first got together almost 9 years ago. I just thought maybe he identified as trans but would't physically transition. I completely support him in this. I'm just not sure if I can have a husband now instead of a wife. Somedays I think i'll be fine with everything and...

Anonymous asked: How is it that your girlfriend loves doing things to you but then doesnt get turned on by girls yet she fell in love with me and doesnt want me to go anywhere? Is there something we can do to work on that?
Anonymous asked: Hello, I've finally been able to identify after much time trying to find myself; as a gender queer. I'm female that likes to embrace masculinity physically and romantically (I feel like a straight man) and revert to being a girl the next. I plan on binding with the shirts I see at T kingdom. Also, I have a question.. Do you think testosterone cream for women would be able to make facial...
im-sorry-seb asked: So, I know this isn't exactly what you're here for, but I don't know who else I can ask.
I'm a 17 year old girl who, if all goes to plan, will be going to uni in Sept. As you can guess from my being here, I identify as trans. I told one of my friends about a week after 'coming out' online, two others found out after finding my blog. I can't afford surgery...
