It is okay to not have bottom dysphoria. At all.

You are not less trans, you are not perverted, you are not your agab because of what's on your bottom half.

And it's also okay if you change your opinion on this later, but it's very valid if you don't, it's not a bad thing to be content with your bits.

"

The function of the “gender critical” scholarship advocated in this session, like the function of the “race science” of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is to advance a “scientific” reason to question the humanity of already marginalized groups of people, in this case, those who exist outside a strict and narrow sex / gender binary.

Transgender and gender diverse identities have long existed, and we are committed to upholding the value and dignity of transgender people. We believe that a more just future is possible—one where gender diversity is welcomed and supported rather than marginalized and policed."

Vývoj nebinární genderové identity

Ahoj,

studuju psychologii a píšu diplomovou práci na téma vývoj nebinární genderové identity. Za účelem výzkumu hledám lidi, kteří se identifikují jako nebinární a je jim mezi 18 a 25 lety.

Zajímá mě pojetí genderu a genderové identity z hlediska nebinárních lidí, jak vnímají vývoj vlastní genderové identity, co obnáší jejich genderová zkušenost apod. Data sbírám prostřednictvím rozhovorů, které by měly trvat cca hodinu a budou probíhat online.

Pokud máte zájem, případně víte o někom, kdo by mohl mít zájem, budu moc ráda, když mě kontaktujete buď na e-mail [email protected] nebo tady. :)

Budu vděčná taky za sdílení příspěvku. :)

I'm on a badge making stall for IDAHOBIT, International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination (May 17). We're a youth focus community organisation.

I want to prepare a load of badge sized pride flags, and a load of pronouns, so queer people can make badges with their flags and pronouns, or whatever they want.

Could any of my mutuals or anyone offer suggestions for flags and/or pronouns I should include? I'd love it if everyone feels seen and included.

The flags I am already preparing are (in no particular order)-

demiromantic

lesbian

xenogender

agender

demisexual

pansexual

genderqueer

gay man

aroace

genderfaun

genderfae

genderfluid

aromantic

asexual

nonbinary

transgender

rainbow pride

demian

neptunic

I know I'm missing loads, any you think I really shouldn't miss?

And pronoun-wise, I'll have - they, them, she, her, he, him, xe, xem, fae, faer, it, its, ey, em, eir, thou, thee, ze, zir, hir, ae, aer.

Again, any I should include?

All feedback is very welcomed, and sincere apologies if I missed anything obvious.

Thanks SO much

Dear Readers,

A Lil something I wrote while heavily identifying with Crowley's nombinary ways. I love the bothered (for lack of a better word) to include that as a part of his being and personality. It was handled well, and in a casual way which helped normalise it. It means a lot to me.

In October (2019), I had a breakdown, in the dark, just from everything weighing me down. Love is conditional, religion and gods never cared for humanity, and I came to the conclusion that I couldn't escape where I was. So, I cried in the dark, with whatever on the TV screen in front of me, that I couldn't even focus on.

My mother (she lost the right to be called "mom" years ago) came down at some point, pulled my brother's shitty rolly chair over, and sat down. Instead of being a loving and understanding person, she decided to give an awful ultimatum of conditional "love".

"I love you and want to help you, as long as you're not gay or want to change your body."

I froze. Obviously, I lied. I'm both. I felt worse than before, afterwards.

It's been a few years, and I'm not out of the house yet, but I am out of the closet. The more traditional sense of the phrase, that is. I sometimes go to a trans and gender diverse group on the weekends. So, if I ever need emergency help, I know at least somebody's got my back.

How to address non-binary characters in fandom stats about gender

@once-a-polecat asked a thoughtful and interesting question in response to my post about Canon gender representation & shipping:

So, I know this is a VERY small number of characters (statistically speaking), but how do you deal with, or plan to deal with, the increasing numbers of characters who are non-binary in canon? (Jim Jimenez in OFMD, or Desire in Sandman for instance.) If you’re documenting how prevalent it is that fans introduce gender diversity to binary characters at some point you have to address the question of canon characters who do not have a binary gender. And I understand how much of a tricky question this is because it’s less easily traced across fandoms and some characters may not have a binary gender in ways that do not track with Western human society (they may have culturally significant genders or be non-human beings etc…), but small numbers and diverse types of genders gets difficult for data visualization purposes.

I wanted to give a long-ish answer (or really, to discuss a number of possible answers, all of which sometimes apply but aren't complete on their own), and I also wanted to open it up to others for ideas, so rather than reply in the notes, I'm replying here.

One answer is to say that I'm limited by the data I have available about canon (e.g., in that past 2018 work I was pointing to about Gender representation in canon vs. fanworks, I was working with someone else's movie data set, which didn't contain any data about canon nonbinary characters). That raises a question for future analyses -- does anyone know of a reliable list of canon nonbinary characters that is kept up-to-date? How good is Wikipedia's List of fictional non-binary characters, e.g.? Also interested in lists of canon trans characters.

(A quick aside, because I'm about to talk about limitations: I'm incredibly grateful for the AO3 tagging system, and everyone who makes it work! In part because it allows me to do far more complex stats about all this stuff than any other fandom platform -- or other media platforms, period. And because it gives us all some pretty outstanding sorting and filtering superpowers. Hallelujah! Okay, now onto some limitations. :) )

Another possible answer is to say that my stats are about how people tag things on AO3. So for the most part, I just follow however people are tagging things on AO3 -- and if AO3 users start tagging more ships as "Other" as they often do when a canon nonbinary character like Jim Jimenez or Desire is involved, some of my tag-based stats will pick up that kind of thing (even though I'm currently investigating F/F and M/M specifically, about which more below, I do often include more shipping categories than that). However, this is also only somewhat satisfying, since tagging practices differ between fandoms and change over time (e.g., I *think* more people used to tag some ships involving nonbinary characters, like LaFontaine/Perry from Carmilla, with gendered tags like "F/F" rather than with "Other" -- though maybe that particular example was just because L/P was often a background ship). And I know the use of "Other" can also be touchy; it can be frustrating to lump together human-only ships like Oluwande Boodhari/Jim Jimenez with ones like Eddie Brock/Venom Symbiote, for one thing. (And AO3 could even change some of these tagging options in the future, which might make such data even less useful.)

Another answer is to say, "Nonbinary characters are usually just noise, statistically, because there are so few of them -- I can ignore them most of the time." (Which you nodded to in your question, though you didn't suggest being so dismissive about it. :) ) There are some times when I make those kind of omissions or oversimplifications, though I avoid it when possible. For the purposes of my upcoming "F/F vs. M/M" analysis, this answer and the previous one both come into play -- my initial goal is to look at how explicitly queer fic differs between fanworks tagged "F/F" vs. "M/M." Which will unfortunately miss a whole bunch of queer fanworks featuring nonbinary characters. But I am going to simplify things by initially focusing on those two largest and most explicitly queer ship tags.

A final answer is to say that I've tried to make up for limitations in my other work by explicitly seeking out and analyzing gender diversity in some of my stats, like my analyses of Trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse characters on AO3. [Edit: and then I addressed the possible visualization complexities by looking at each of the common tags -- like "Nonbinary Character" -- separately.] At the same time, because I don't know which characters are trans or nonbinary in canon, those stats have been vague about which gender diversity is coming from canon vs. from fandom -- see my above question about good lists of canon gender diversity. (Also, this doesn't capture types of gender diversity that aren't reflected in the tags.)

Finally, a shoutout to @centrumlumina who does a fantastic job hand-labeling the gender and race of all the characters for the annual top AO3 ships analysis. I am in complete awe. Canon race and gender are both things I wish were easier to analyze/find data about -- but at least for the characters in the top 100 ships each year, Lulu has provided a great data source!

Thanks for the question -- curious to hear if/how others think about this topic.

Genderful Pride Flag

Genderful or gender-ful: acknowledging that one's full spectrum self is unique to the individual; full of gender, as opposed to genderless; anything or anyone who dismantles stereotypes of social roles based on gender; encompassing the plurality of an individual’s presented identity, and encouraging positivity within the spectrum of gender presentations and expressions
