ID: A black and white photograph of Ali Cannon holding his baby son close to his chest and looking at the camera. Cannon is shirtless, and has short dark hair and facial hair. He has been photographed in a room with a sofa, armchair and multiple book shelves. His son is resting his head on his father’s chest and seems to be asleep. There is a tagline at the bottom reading: Ali Cannon is a Jewish writer and poet from the San Francisco Bay Area with a poetry book coming out in the summer of 2005. His wife and photographer, Jessica Israel, is a Jewish bisexual woman who is passionate about her trans husband, and maybe even more passionate about their son, Rephael. ED.

Ali Michael Cannon (he/him) is a writer, organizer, activist, and public speaker who is a recognized leader in the transgender community. Professionally, he has worked in the education field for 30 years, serving as a District Administrator and a Non-Profit Manager. Currently he works as a consultant, supporting schools to become more LGBTQ+ inclusive and address issues of equity and bias. A proud father and husband—he lives in Oakland with his wife, Jessica, an Oakland Public School Principal, and their high school son. He has a godson who just graduated from college, reflecting how much chosen family is a vital part of his relationship to building and sustaining queer community.

His writing has been published in From the Inside Out: Radical Gender Transformation, FTM and Beyond. His provocative illumination of Jewish and transgender themes can be seen in the film, It’s A Boy: Journeys from Female to Male and his essay (co-authored with TJ Michels), Whose Side Are You On: Transgender at the Western Wall. Cannon founded the theater group, Transmen Tell Their Tales, and was a long-time writer, performer, and producer of Chutzpah—a Queer Jewish theater group in San Francisco.

Ali earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Feminist Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz and San Francisco State respectively.  He served on the Board of Our Family Coalition, the Bay Area’s LGBTQ Family Organization for eight years.

(Note from me: this picture of him was featured in a trans man calender produced by FTM International for 2005-6 called “Heroes: (Trans)Male Role Models, Part 2“, you can view some of the other pictures here)

I just watched Yentl (1983). Then I looked it up on Tumblr and the fact that people are calling the main heroine trans makes me fucking sick.

Yentl was not trans

She was a woman who pretended to be a man and the sole reason for this was that she wanted to study Talmud, which women couldn't do in the past. It's a story about women's oppression, not about fucking trans movement. Yentl explicitly stated that she's a woman, she has always been a woman and that she was sick of pretending that she wasn't. All she ever wanted is being able to study as a woman. She didn't want to be a man. Stop fucking appropriating feminist stories and turning them into your trans agenda. It's straight up lying.

people will say with their mouths “intersectionality only affects X marginalized group, not Y marginalized group” and then tell You that you’re the one that doesn’t understand what it means

intersectionality, the concept of people having marginalized identities and labels that Intersect with each other. that’s what is being gatekept.

#discourse #the group I see it happening with the most right now is trans men #people will say with their Whole Chest that trans men do not experience intersectionality #as if that isn't the most insane thing I've ever seen somebody say #you heard it here first folks ! #there's no such thing as black or disabled or mentally ill or poor or jewish trans men #there are no trans men who are gay or bi or intersex or asexual or poly or- #and the list just goes on #but this is something that I'm Sure is used against many identities #because exclusionists don't share with anybody but each other #they'll Always strip each others arguments for parts #even when they claim not to support X exclusionists because of Course Y identity is valid

gonna be real ben shapiro is just average looking he looks like an average guy like we have to stop moralising appearance I feel like every time there's a bad person you get edgy people saying "ngl they're actually super hot!!" just to feel something and then everyone responds like nononono they are UGLY because they are BAD and they are BAD because they are UGLY like. he looks like a average human being and the reason no one will ever love him is because he is a cruel and arrogant person who is nowhere near as intelligent as he thinks he is, not because he has big dark eyebrows and a kind of high pitched voice. its weird

#like thr natural result of this is that tiktok where ppl were freaking out bc they can't tell the dif between a conservative and a #trans ally by looking #anyway i do think the whole phenomenon shows how much attraction to men is based on making up a guy in your head #if u find urself agreeing w that roald dahl bit from the witches #take a wild guess how roald dahl felt about jewish ppl

[gay-jewish-bucky]

can we stop calling random historical jewish men transfemme just because you personally relate to them pleae and thank you

#personcole #it's not pro trans #the whole 'jewish men are secretly women' thing is inherently antisemitic

why is it so many jewish men are considered to have ‘trans masc swag’ on here? what is it about jewish men that resonates with trans masc individuals? genuinely interested - if anyone has thoughts or has written about this before send’em my way !

#like i just saw a bob dylan post captioned trans masc swag #and i think of peter falk and even jack black #(there are others i’m not thinking of) #just super curious.. like the whole edelkayt jewish man archetype and the way jewish men are perceived in terms of masculinity… #edelkayt #trans masc

All my outfits for the recent roleplaying convention that I went to, plus my dice nails.

I'm the type of nerd who is annoyed that my stamping plate is missing the d8 and normal d10, but it's still cool to have dice on my nails.

idk who needs to hear this but stop asking individual artists to make content thats “more relatable” or to make it more “inclusive”, artists dont make shit to be palatable or relatable to everyone possible, honestly the moment yall judged art based on “relatability” smth died

#fr one of my fave artists on here just draws beautiful Jewish trans male art and they get way too much shit for it #bc he draws men who look like him and what hes into #im not a jewish trans man but i adore his work despite not relating to it in any way. when did yall get like this. #why do yall keep asking him to draw diff body types and skin tones when he’s clearly making art thats personal to HIM #txt
