Do you disagree with the term “gender identity disorder”?
Tony: Yes and no. Yes, to be transgender is, in my opinion, is a disorder where your brain doesn’t fit your body. I don’t think it can be ‘fixed’ through therapy, though; this is something I’ve tried to do, to no effect. My counsellor was … a naughty word that would be unprofessional to say :3 It can only be ‘fixed’ through...

Halloween is a holiday that brings with it as much anticipation as Christmas. Jackson wore his Halloween costume with such enthusiasm and frequency that we actually had to buy him a new one.

Transmisogyny
Oliver and I were discussing this a little bit the other day and I saw this posted and thought I’d share.
As a transman who doesn’t know anyone who identifies along the transfeminine spectrum, I often forget about their unique struggles.

It gives victims the same federal safeguards already afforded to people who are victims of violent crimes because of their race, color, religion or national origin.

It’s pretty awesome until you see that they exclude butches and non-FTM transfolk from their program:
It may seem to some of you that this is discriminatory, however, this program was created for Transmen and here’s why.

A social networking site for FTM, MTF, Genderqueer, Androgynous, and all other gender variant people.
The identifications/genders leave something to be desired, but it just started up, so hopefully the creator will fix this problem.
