Anonymous asked: I'm a bit confused as to my gender/sexuality, and I was wondering whether you had any commentary for it. I used to be a bit transphobic because I completely didn't understand how someone could identify as given gender - as in, if I woke up as a male one morning I would simply go about life as a male. Same thing for sexuality - I'm attracted to PIV sex, and if I were a male I would...

Can we please stop saying any variation of that when a guy is experiencing severe dysphoria over his genitalia? It dismisses the problem in favour of gender theory, an approach that is neither…

Someone seriously asked me this question the other day. Honestly, I was kind of surprised. Partially because I haven’t been randomly asked a trans question since my early coming out days and…

“Can I know I’m trans and still not transition” – search term
Simple answer? Up to you. There’s no rule that says you have to transition (socially or physically) as soon as you know you’re trans,…

I probably should put up a post at some point about how I considered de-transitioning a year or so into starting T, but I can’t find the words. Instead you guys are going to get a post about the…

I feel like this needs to be brought up again. Just because a few non-Tumblr blog posts have me frothing at the mouth. Besides, it’s always good to have a refresher.

Passing for the effeminate trans guy →

If you’ve been out for more than a month you’ve probably heard the standard passing tips. They haven’t changed since I came out and I’m pretty sure they were old even then. In fact, I wouldn’t be…

Oh for fuck’s sake. You don’t get super special bonus points for deciding people are allowed to be trans after making a trans person’s life a living hell when they came out to you. You especially don’t get those bonus points when you missed the damned point of him transitioning and have now decided that gender is fluid so that you can still think of him as not-really-a-man while...
