My tits piss me off HAHA :-) #transgenderproblems

[augs-thoughts]

Right now I'm in my 4th class of the day, 11:37. And now I'm feeling like im going to run out of the classroom and hid or cry right in my seat, the reason why is because i don't feel right. My body is not right. I can't wear my binder or my ribs will hurt. I'm having troubles calming down.

But for now, prey for me.

Auggie.

Pronouns

In most languages, pronouns are used to refer to nouns. If we all only referred to each other by our names, let's face it, this would get so repetitive! 

In reference to the transgender community, our pronouns, or preferred pronouns, refers to how any person feels comfortable being addressed as.

The most common pronouns used by transgender people are: - He/Him - She/Her - They/Them

These are not, however, the only pronouns there are. If you are ever in doubt of someones pronouns, simply ask them politely and discretely!

Question for those who wear chest binders.

I hate not wearing my binder, and I know you’re not suppose to sleep in it. I hate not being able to wear anything, when I’m bare chested with only a shirt on and nothing to compress or hold in place, I feel disgusting. I physically can’t stand it. It cause panic attacks for me. I know you’re suppose to give you chest a break from wearing things but I really can’t. I wear sports bras at night, most of which don’t fit me, and I know that must not be good for me. I need tips, I need advice. Anything, how can I lounge around the house or take naps or go to sleep at night without something on or is there something I could wear or do so that I can prevent mental breakdowns. My chest dysphoria is really high constantly. I need help.

The first century CE Roman writer Valerie's Maximus wrote a collection of Romn historical anecdotes. In his work, he describes a situation in the year 77 BCE where a slave named Genucius was set to receive an inheritance. . Because Roman law, however, was written in a way that described how men and women could receive inheritances, and Genucius, being a eunuch priest of the goddess Cybele, was neither a man nor a woman, they could not receive their inheritance. . On the surface that seems pretty terrible, and understandably so. But if you look closer, you might recognize that as actual legal recognition of a third gender in a western society that predates Christ. . And they say being transgender is just a trendy new thing the kids are doing... . . . . . #transition #transgenders #transgenderpride #transgenderrights #transgenderstories #transgenderpositivity #nonbinarygender #transgenderwriter #transgenderawareness #nonbinarybody #transgenderagender #transgenderproud #transgendervisability #transgenderreachingtheskies #transgenderproblems #transgendermaletofemale #nonbinarypeople #transgenderactor #nonbinarypride #transgenderpower #transgenderequality #nonbinarytrans #nonbinarypplaretranstoo #transgenderstruggles #nonbinary #transformationtuesday #transrights #transhistory #TransgenderMentor #queerhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CWTXxzzLHj2/?utm_medium=tumblr

I forgot I never told y'all about when I had my hair dyed purple last school year and was really scared it would make me look too feminine, but then I realized almost every day while I was walking down to class a boy who also had purple hair was going up to his and we would sort of just smile and point finger guns at each other every time. It was pretty fucking validating

[creatednordestroyed4]

I shaved my face and I feel a wee dysphoric but I also feel clean cut.

[sex-in-formation]

Cross-sex hormone therapy is a treatment used to help people with gender dysphoria transition from their biological gender to their desired gender.  Hormones play an important role in a person’s secondary sex characteristics – the physical aspects that make one male or female. Men and women’s bodies produce both androgens and estrogens, but in very different amounts. This is why testosterone is considered a “male” hormone and estrogen a “female” hormone. Before starting cross-sex hormone therapy, many patients undergo counseling and live as their desired gender for about a year. Trans men, who are transitioning from female to male, take testosterone preparations. The goal is to boost testosterone levels to a range that is typical for men. Generally, menstrual cycles end with hormone therapy. Patients often find that they grow more facial and body hair, develop a more muscular build, and feel more interested in sex. Sometimes, the clitoris enlarges and the voice may deepen to some extent. Trans women, who transition from male to female, usually take two types of hormones.  An anti-androgen is used to decrease testosterone levels to those of a typical woman.  In addition, estrogen is taken to increase levels of that hormone. As a result, facial and body hair tend to become less obvious, and muscle mass declines.  The penis and testicles usually get smaller and breasts may start to develop. Cross-sex hormone therapy is usually a lifelong commitment.  Patients should be sure to see their doctor regularly to monitor progress.  #crosssexhormones #genderdysphoria #transpeople #transrightsarehumanrights #transgenderpride🌈 #transrightsmatter #transsexuality #transliberation #transgenderdayofvisibility #transgenderman #transgendergirl #lgbtqsupporter #lgbtqpositivity #therapy #sexcharacteristics #transgenderawareness #transgenderacceptance #transgenderproblems #genderflexible #genderidentity #genderexpression #genderidentitymatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CI-dHOzhmx9/?igshid=1k3tq0jpi44lt

Erasure/Invalidation of Non-Binary People

Just like binary trans people, non-binary (or enby) trans people have been around for a long time. Only recently has it even come into the attention of the general public. 

Unfortunately, the concept of being outside of the gender binary is one that is often criticized or brushed over - most people who do not identify as enby often do not truly understand. Enby people can face invalidation from all angles, even in the transgender community itself. It is important to point out that people who identify as enby are not "special snowflakes", and most certainly not "the reason people shit on the transgender community".

This kind of lack of understanding in today's society tends to lead to the erasure or invalidation of the enby community. Here are some ways in which this may occur:

Language often excludes enby people. So many words in languages are unnecessarily gendered - right down to objects being labelled as masculine or feminine by languages such as French. While this cannot be helped - after all, these languages were created so long ago - simply consider how it may feel. Some enby people don't want to be associated with gendered words, while some do. Maybe keep it in mind the next time you're generalising a group of people with a gendered term!

People rarely perceive their (a)genders accurately. Unlike many binary transgender people, it isn't common for an enby person to have an end goal in their transition. There is often no possible endpoint where enby people can hope to be safe when being read as their true (a)gender identity. This means enby people can be misgendered more often, and tend to face denial, invalidation, and violence for most of their lives.

Some people go as far as to tell enby people what (they think) their pronouns should be. This generally comes with the excuse that their pronouns are wrong, hard, ungrammatical, or silly. God forbid non-binary people decide not to use pronouns at all  - the lack of respect for their pronouns (or rather, lack of) only gets more apparent in this situation.

Bathrooms. If an establishment even has gender-neutral bathrooms, they’re often far out of the way. This is inconvenient, time-wasting, and isolating. And if enby people aren't perceived as the "right gender" for the bathroom they do use, they aren't safe - physically or emotionally.

Transgender healthcare is scarce enough as it is - and it only gets worse for non-binary trans folks. Many enby people never seek healthcare for fear of discrimination, since non-binary people don't fit into the image of "legitimately transgender". This is not to say that all enby people even want to physically transition, but it is a big problem for those who do.

There is little to no coverage of non-binary people in the media. This is also true with gender nonconforming (GNC) binary transgender people. How are enby people meant to be understood or get respect when so many people don't even know they exist? We cannot understand something we do not know about or are not educated about. Medica coverage for non-binary or GNC transgender people could significantly help to educate people on the topic, and spread more understanding!

Non-binary erasure has some pretty huge impacts. Non-binary trans people are more likely than a binary-identified trans person to:

Attempt suicide (43% non-binary versus 41% binary trans)

Face police harassment (31% non-binary versus 21% binary)

Earn less than $10,000/year (21% non-binary versus 14% binary trans)

Face assault, physically (32% non-binary versus 25% binary) or sexually (15% non-binary versus 9% binary), due to gender bias.

These numbers only get higher for non-binary people of colour (POC).

So, what can we do to change this? Spread. Accurate. Information. About. The. Enby. Community. Seriously, the best way to tackle this problem, right now, is education - much like with ALL transgender issues! Misinformation, as well as an inadequate amount of education on these topics, that is the biggest enemy we have to face.

My gender is probably the reason why I'm single.

I would like a girlfriend, but I feel like my gender literally is the reason why I'm single. I'm an agender demiboy. I change alot from feeling agender to feeling masculine. I go from liking they/them pronouns more then I'll like he/him for a bit. Who would ever date someone like me? I feel like my gender just makes me seem complicated. Anyone else feel the same? Anyone else feel like it's been harder now that you've came it as trans?

[allitraart]

I find myself fantasizing on looking... being physically different almost constantly. I bounce between two ‘basic’ ideal bodies (ignoring my weird fantasies and furry thoughts for simplicity). One is smol, thick, with wide hips, and a bit of pudge. The other is tall, hourglass, but slender shouldered and well muscled in all the feminine ways (not the masculine ways that I really want to avoid, which make exercise anxiety inducing because I really don’t want to utilize/increase my testosterone...). I bounce around because these thoughts are generally played out in... sexual situations where I don’t have a penis. So the actual practicality of these bodies are subject to moment-by-moment thoughts, but the first (smol, thick, and pudgy) is very consistent.
