My parents honestly should not be as surprised that I turned out to be genderqueer as fuck. My dad used to play the New York Dolls in the car when he drove me to school. When I was 6 my mum bought me a CD of ChangesBowie which featured John, I'm Only Dancing and Rebel Rebel both of which are about doing drag. The first song Dad taught me how to play on the guitar was Lola by the Kinks. Mum used to dress up as a drag king when she was a student. I have photographs of Dad from the 80s shirtless and barefoot wearing purple velvet pants and a leather jacket with watches strapped around his ankles. And somehow they're both still mildly surprised that I like to get fucky with the gender presentation thing on occasion? What were they expecting? My favourite song when I was 7 was Fishnets and Cigarettes. Another number about doing drag. The teachers asked us in school what we wanted to be when we grew up and my answer at age 8 was "either a purple vampire robot or a marine biologist." This is the infinitely funnier version of [describes mental health symptom] "everyone has that". They both fucked around so much with gender presentation themselves that they forgot that not everyone does that.

Advice For Parents Of Transgender And Nonbinary Children

""Attending pride with them as allies as a family did not make my son trans. It made my son trans and alive. It made him trans and still feeling loved and accepted."

"It's putting it mildly to say that trans and nonbinary young people are in the center of a total moral panic right now. As family support can literally be lifesaving, we reached out to parents of trans and nonbinary youth to hear what advice they had for other parents experiencing the same thing."

AFAB non-binary poetry(?) By me

I look into my mind, asking whats my gender

"you're a female" it said thoughtful

but that is my sex, gender is a completely

different thing, separate from sex

I look into my soul, asking if am i really a girl

the answer i got was no

even though I've always worn

pink clothes, skirts and dresses.

I ask my heart if I'm a boy, unsure of all i knew

the answer is also no

even though I've always wanted

toy cars and plastic dinosaurs.

So if im not a girl, nor a boy, what am I?

My soul cannot explain it

it looks confusing and almost nonexistent

but its there, simple and complicated.

But the best answer to the question was:

I'm just myself

"girl" and "boy" are binary terms, so if

im not either one of them, I'm non-binary

Writing any kind of story is a scary proposition, especially if it deals with personal stuff. And writing about trans people during a bogus moral panic is especially daunting -- it's easy to either pull your punches, or feel as though the burden of good trans representation weighs on your shoulders. The good news is that we are living during a time of extreme riches when it comes to trans stories, and a ton of wonderful authors are writing trans tales that defy categorization and bust through boundaries. So please write the story that speaks to you, the story that only you can tell about your own obsessions and dreams. It can be scary or funny or comforting or escapist, or all of the above — don't worry that what you write will be singled out as the One True Trans Story, or seen as a representation of all trans people. Just write your story.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is planning on changing their regulations for telehealth prescriptions of controlled substances. However, they have opened comments up for people to voice their opinions. You can submit a formal anonymous comment HERE. The comment period ends on March 31st, 2023.

This is an important issue for those who are prescribed controlled substances (e.g., testosterone or ADHD medication) through telehealth, which means it can and will impact trans people on testosterone and a ton of others if this goes through.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #this will affect other people like those with ADHD who are prescribed medication which is also a controlled substance #it astounds me that professionals aren't trusted by the DEA to be able to do their jobs #you all already know i hate the DEA so i'm biased personally #you can also browse comments left by many people #i've been perusing some comments and they are *not* happy ones. i guess i'm glad i'm not the only disgruntled USian #again - mfw the dea isn't a plotpoint of brba and it actually affects my life negatively 😔🤕🤬

i absolutely cannot believe people are trying to start discourse about whether nex benedict was actually nonbinary / whether it was okay for him to describe himself as nonbinary to some people if he didn’t actually identify that way as if he isn’t literally DEAD because he was KILLED. this is a MURDERED CHILD and these monsters are so busy getting mad at the possibility that he might have been a trans boy who described himself as nonbinary to his family because that was easier for them to take that they’re turning a CHILD who was MURDERED into fucking discourse. even when we die at the hands of cis people’s violence, our own community finds a way to make us the villains of the story.

and all of this bullshit on top of the ways that cis people are already trying to say our grief over his death is unjustified. all of this on top of people claiming he wasn’t murdered and speculating on other causes of death (i literally saw someone say he “clearly went home and took the coward’s way out” and i have never been more disgusted) or claiming that he started the fight as if any action on his part could’ve been enough to justify his death. i am haunted by the sound of his father screaming that his child was not filth because that is what people have been saying about this poor kid, that’s how cruelly his memory is being treated, and even the trans community can’t get it’s shit together enough to look past the stupid discourse and see the tragedy in front of us. did you all forget that it was supposed to be up to us to grieve him in the way he deserves when the rest of the world fails to care if people like him live or die? did you all forget that this child was our sibling, the future of our community, a life that we should have had the chance to know and treasure while he was still here but that we now have a responsibility to hold close to our hearts in his absence? nex’s life was precious and it was ended far too soon and if you truly believe that anything is more important than mourning his life and fighting for a world where no more trans people have to meet such an awful fate, you’re a traitor to this community and you do not deserve the place you occupy within it.

i’m so tired. i can’t even imagine how tired his family must be, to see the public treat the child they’re grieving so horribly, to see the world fail their baby again. leave him alone. he was already robbed of peace in life; the least you can do is let him finally have it in death.

#as a trans man whose family still uses they/them and neutral terms for me and would describe me as nonbinary #because that was how i initially came out to them and me being a man is a much bigger hurdle than i have the energy to help them get over #it’s SO deeply disturbing to know that if my life ended in violence #my own community would be more concerned with how my family referred to me in death than with the fact that i was killed #how fucking dare you turn this poor child’s existence into discourse fodder when they aren’t even here to defend themselves #when you only even know who he is in the first place because he was killed #tw transphobic violence #nex benedict #tbh it feels wrong to even add my usual tags to this but i need people to see it so. here we go #transandrophobia #transandromisia #transmisandry #virilmisia #virilphobia #anti transmasculinity #transmascphobia #exorsexism #trans men #transmascs

I am feeling a bit soggy and pathetic and lacking braincells rn

[Video description: Coco, a tall nonbinary person with light skin and curly auburn hair tucked into a black knitted hat, films themself in the mirrored door of a wardrobe. They have a shiny gold nose-ring and are wearing black lace-up leather boots, blue jeans with turn-ups, and a blue and yellow tartan flannel open over a black New York Dolls t-shirt. In the hand that isn't holding their phone, they are holding an open half-empty bottle of green Mountain Dew. They have a Glaswegian accent and stare slightly pathetically into the mirror while saying, "Uh, hi God, it's me, uh, just, uh, wanted to let you know that when I said I wanted a soggy, pathetic man with no braincells in my life, I meant I wanted to ride one, not become one." The chorus of Ryan Gosling's I'm Just Ken from the Barbie movie plays quietly in the background.]

I am 5 years older, but somehow more full of life now.

It might just be because I know how sad that girl was, or maybe I really was visibly more ill.

Jaeda is dead. And I killed her. She was begging to leave this world. And from her flesh, I sculpted a home. No longer would I live inside of a body that I had to starve and poison to feel comfortable inside of. What was once a prison has become a tender and loving place to experience my time on earth.

Soooo for what i have seen on the internet it seems that its pretty common for trans people to have a "gender awakening moment" after meting a certain character/ artist that somehow trigger some questions or revelations about gender. At least that is my case, and i dont want to brag or anything but that character in my case was 2D from gorillaz.

Big survey shows that 94% of transgender Americans who have transitioned are happy with their choice

The National Center for Transgender Equality in the US published the results of a survey of 92,329 transgender Americans.

The survey shows that trans people who come out and start presenting and living as their true selves experience a vast improvement in their quality of life.

On transitioning

The U.S. Transgender Survey (USTS) reports:

Nearly all respondents (94%) who lived at least some of the time in a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth (“gender transition”) reported that they were either “a lot more satisfied” (79%) or “a little more satisfied” (15%) with their life. Three percent (3%) reported that transitioning gender made them “neither more nor less satisfied” with their life, 1% were “a little less satisfied”, and 2% were “a lot less satisfied” with their life.

The claim that a lot of trans people regret transitioning is clearly a lie.

On hormone treatment

Nearly all respondents (98%) receiving hormone treatment reported that this treatment made them either “a lot more satisfied” (84%) or “a little more satisfied” (14%) with their life.

On surgery

The similar numbers for gender-affirming surgery was 88% for "a lot more satisfied" or 9% for "a little more satisfied". Only 2 percent was some shade of "less satisfied".

On identity

Of the 84,170 adult respondents, 38% identified as nonbinary, 35% as transgender women, 25% as transgender men and 2% as crossdressers.

"Crossdresser" as a cultural category is clearly been replaced by terms like nonbinary and people coming out as trans.

Support from families

We are glad to see that the support trans people get from their families is getting better, although not as good as we could have hoped.

36% of adult respondents who said that some or all of their immediate family knew that they were transgender reported their family members were “supportive” of them being transgender, and 31% said they were “very supportive.”

Among 16- and 17-year-old respondents, 27% said their family members were “supportive”, and 17% “very supportive.”

Young people (16-17) are facing the hardest resistance, with 29% reporting unsupportive family members. There is probably a selection bias here, as more of the older trans people who have transitioned have done so because they have gotten support from their families. Many continue to live in the closet out of fear of losing their loved ones. Older trans people are also more likely to have chosen important family members, like their partners, avoiding transphobes in the process.

NBC News has more.
