You can read more recent trans statistics here too. Posted them earlier but I can’t find that post right now.

Was wondering what people’s opinions were on the matter :)
I think it’s an excellent way to raise a child for a number of reasons but there’s a lot of mixed opinions and I would love to hear what others have to say!

Some trans people are ungrateful. Ftms cannot have the same exact penis that a cis-guy can, ftms can get over it and get plastic surgery to get a pretty good replica of one, they can get a strap on, they can get a fake penis so that they can pee right next to another guy in a men’s restroom. That sounds an awful lot like progess to me.

From Binary Subverter
You are human. You are worthy of respect. You deserve to be treated with the same dignity as anyone else. There is nothing inherently wrong with your gender. You are not broken, you are not disgusting, you do not deserve to be hurt.
You’ve been brought up and live in a world that’s designed to erase and demonize your existence, yo’ve probably internalized a...

Officer Radon’s version of events just so happens to follow a convenient popular narrative regarding trans women as both violent (and therefore “manly”) and sex workers. The latter allegation, particularly, is one which a set of dangerous, (trans-)misogynistic cultural biases regularly allow to work against trans women. As both sex workers and trans women are portrayed as deviant and...

Embracing genders and existing in genders is as revolutionary as rejecting/abolishing/destroying/neglecting genders.
We’ve got to be able to recognize that genders can be powerful, beautiful, liberating, and meaningful tools just as we are able to recognize that genders can be destructive, harmful, and restricting.

I think so too. I mean, there’s a huge difference between sexuality and gender expression. Fear not, I’m totally with you on this.
Oh please. “You’re too young to know” /rage.
“We’ve made a lot of strides in the last few decades” You know what, there’s no denying that…

I have been working on a transgender documentary for the past 6 months, and I am in need of a lot of female to male transgender interviews. I am interested in male to female interviews, but only a few more. Also interested in interviews with intersexed, and possibly other gender-varient people.

queerwatch:
One of the most illuminating ways of understanding the use of “tranny” is to watch how it is used as a put down for cis women. Several people have pointed out this pattern. Plenty of examples focus around fashion and the message that a tranny is someone who is incapable of doing femininity correctly, whether you’re talking about the shoes that make you look like a tranny, insulting...

But I'm not a Catholic girl...
I go to an all-girls Catholic high school. It never really affected me much until this year, when I began to realize that my gender identity wasn’t “girl”. I’ve been going to sex-segregated schools since the fourth grade but only until I reached high school did my female body become a part of my identity as a student at my school; we are referred to as “<my...
