this one is for the acquaintances, the lurkers,...
…because let’s not play games, we both know you’re out there.
Do you ever wonder why you almost never see me around anymore? Why it’s been this way for a couple of years now?
Do you ever wonder why it’s practically common knowledge that I “don’t go out” despite my partner being really social? Why I never show up for anything? Why I try to get...

Today I had an appointment with a therapist who specializes in writing letters for transgender persons so that they can access a script for hormones- goal #87.
The only bad thing about this experience is that I’m reminded that not everyone has access to such a therapist. Someone who goes by ICATH standards, someone who is relatively affordable, someone who says things like “I...

jfc I get adrenaline just thinking about T
I know, I know, there are lots of hurtles dealing w/medical shit, possible physical problems, side effects. The novelty will wear off, I’m sure. I could lose all my hair and turn into an acne ball. But the thing is, I’ve spent such a long time agonizing over it and thinking ONLY of the bad things that could happen (because if you think of all the bad things then you will be prepared...

FYI
I’m not necessarily against answering some questions about trans stuff. But please do not come at me like you know my life, or anything about this process, because you have played detective & assembled some estimation of a timeline of my personal life or “realizations” judging solely by what I have felt comfortable sharing on a website & when.
I post personal things...

Anonymous asked: Pardon me for being intrusive. How does Nym feel about you going on T and all of your recent realisations about yourself? I imagine he would be cool with it, but it seems like all of this happened since he went to Japan.

Practical androgyny: ever evolving T or no T/...
(Note: if reblogging, it may be best to choose “as link” instead of “as text” and that way if I add more sources people can always come see them all.)
(Also: the people in these videos/texts don’t necessarily ID as/seek to look androgynous. Some ID as FTM and/or trans men and/or genderqueer and/or other and want to “pass” or don’t, but this round-up...

I have a LOT of questions about hormones
snuffboxisdead:
I’m not looking for gender theory or studies or cultural foo, I’m looking for practical information on physical/mental changes while taking testosterone, especially what I’ve heard called “partial transition” (for want of a better term). A few things:
I know that everything is different for everyone and a lot of this stuff would have to be discussed with a doctor.
I’m not...

Do It on the Dotted Line (excerpt)
by Raven Kaldera ” ‘Sometimes,’ the woman speaker said to her rapt audience, ‘we just have to draw a line between male and female.’ Her sincerity was apparent. Everyone in the room could feel it. It made them trust her. It made me sick. I knew I was going to have to stand up and challenge her, and I knew I could do it in one of any number of ways. I could tell her I...

crommunique asked: I havent been able to figure out a way to piggyback on your chest post without seeming domineering or overbearing. I really dug it, and wanted to put it out there that shoulder/trap/lat exercises will make your chest appear smaller as well. Its also good for your body to work opposing muscle groups; In this case its good to work your back with your chest because you will start to have bad...

practical androgyny: exercises for reducing chest...
First, I want to be clear: “spot reduction” of fat through strength exercise alone isn’t really a thing, so cardio workouts in general (decreasing overall body fat) may be necessary in addition to the strength exercises that target a specific area for toning.
Obviously for some people the following exercises are no substitute for surgery. Still, depending on your body type/chest...

Greetings and pronoun fuckery
If you have found me here because you saw my photos on a blog (which specifically posts photos of bald/shaved women): FYI, I’m not a woman. I informed the person running that blog of this. My home page states my pronouns. I dropped them a line and I don’t know if that blogger will even give a fuck about how disrespectful and degrading it is to be misgendered, and if you don’t...

Anonymous asked: Not trying to be rude, but I’m interested since you’re self portrait is on a trans tumblr and it says you identify as female most of the time, were you born male or female, are you trans, ect? I’m sure I sound like an ass and I apologize if I’ve offended you.

the girl who played with fire audiobook →
DON’T hit the download button, just right click on the mp3’s in the column on the right. You might have to do 1/2 one day and 1/2 the next (I think there’s some bullshit “daily limit”) but this is the whole thing.

Realization: I might have just the right combination of dedication, fanaticism, patience, recording equipment, and decent voice to convert some texts to audiobook form & make available to people. I never used to listen to audiobooks and barely listened to podcasts, but downloading all this radical non-fiction for the long bus ride has made me realize how valuable such audio resources are. I...

I think a zine about how trans people experience...
catamite:
It would also probably be super fucking painful to read.
But for reals, this idea that trans people experience life as cis people until we “decide” to transition needs to die.
I would love to read such a compilation. I wrote a bit called Peepants for my upcoming zine. It’s about being afraid to go into the “correct” bathroom at school as a kid because of how I...

So there was this tall and handsome queer guy in my life who wrote a lot, and made little artworks. He traveled and took photographs and played music, and he sent mail art to his friends and family all the time. He died young, he had AIDS. But I have a lot of his papers, beautiful things, witty things, political things, angry things. Things about being queer & HIV+ that I know he wanted people...

tabathazee asked: Yeah I think I'm going to ease my way into it by bleaching them first, but I'm not sure. One of my friends has had half of her head shaved for a few years now and I really love the way it looks. I'm going to have to incorporate it into my next style. I just grew out a 1in pixie, but I miss the quick drying time. Just checked out your art blog, btw, and you have some really great...

the anarchist on the bus
Since my winter job is two bus rides away and I can only read on the bus for so long before I want to puke, I’ve been downloading a lot of spoken word/audiobooks for my ipod. Not all of the books here are on my book list but I’m posting this here as one of my goals is to read tons of stuff.
Below are some of my choices and sources. Most are radical/anarchist related, some are just...
