FTM Transgender: Interview with Sibling - Reactions, Thoughts, and Advice.
I did an interview with my younger sister regarding my trans* identity. She talks about her reactions, thoughts, and gives some advice to other friends/family members of trans* people out there.
I hope someone out there finds it helpful. =)
Would you date me even if i identify as a transgender?
Of course.

TransBoy SWAG: Friends and Pronouns
Today was weird I hung out with my friends and usually my guy friend never calls me a boy or he. Like he usually jokes that I am like his kid sister and today I was hanging with him and his girlfriend at the japanese store and he was like you are like my baby brother. Also when his girlfriend…
This is sweet. <3 I love friends.

GSA
GSA is an acronym for Gay Straight Alliance. It neglects to mention gender identity, asexuality, pansexuality, etcetera.
I think GSA should be reinvented to mean Gender and Sexuality Alliance.
What do you guys think?
I think I dig it. What about you all?

TMI #1 Holy fuck I have a boyfriend! I’m so proud, of both of us.
If anyone meets him that doesn’t know him, he will be introduced as my boyfriend, not “my trans* friend who I’m dating” he is a guy, his vagina is very manly, more manly than my penis will ever be.
Congrats! I wish you happy times! Tumblr loves TMIs. <3
Just because I’m cis-gendered does not mean I am cis-sexist. Stop treating me like I am, even though I’m being nice. It makes you look like an ass.
/rant. This is obviously not aimed at the whole trans* community. More like one or two specific incidents. None of them on tumblr. I just like to bitch and moan on tumblr.
apparently,
I don’t like to use the c-word, but I appreciate the sentiment. But, sometimes it is good to remember that I’m coming from a different place than my trans* friends. <3

Reasons why tumblr is win
I found out recently that one of my friends is gender queer/questioning zir gender identity, and because of gender queer/trans members of tumblr offering so many resources, I was able to be an ally as well as a friend. Hearts in all of your general directions. <3333
Yay for Tumblr! And yay for ronithebear’s friend! And ronithebear! And exclamation marks! <3
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
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 right places to look. And, as we’ve all found, it’s really hard sometimes to find anything worthwhile. So, I want your help. Submit something that you think would be relevant to this blog. Pictures, links, articles, blog entries, whatever. I’m specifically asking for those I mentioned earlier, but I won’t turn anything of pertinence down.
Remember: SOFFAs aren’t just partners, although this blog is probably skewed towards them because what I am interested in.
In sum: Please submit things you find helpful and inspiring including (but not limited to) pictures, quotes, articles, blogs, and/or topics that you think something more needs to be said about it.
Hope to hear from you all!
