According the San Francisco Trans March’s about page, this was part of the original callout that started the march:
to encourage more trans and gender-variant people to come out; to build connections among ftm, mtf, bayot, crossdressers, sadhin, hijra, transvestites, bantut, drag queens, drag kings, mahu, transsexuals, bakla, travesti,...

Current academic endeavors keeping me from my Tumblr addiction include but are not limited to:
Dialogal research project on the process of coming to awareness of one’s whiteness (not just skin colour but all that light skin entails economically, politically, etc.) and the implications for therapy

queerteaching:
This results of this survey were released almost a year ago, but are worth looking at for anyone interested in queer and trans* students’ experiences in Canadian schools — and it’s likely that many of the conclusions apply to a broader context as well. The authors also provide a number of suggestions for changing anti-queer and anti-trans* atmospheres in schools. From the...
I'm going to lay this out for you, ok?
whatfreshhellisthis:
Cis women are not being targeted by the anti-choice, anti-reproductive rights lobby.

and after a few months all of my pants look like a vicious cat tore at the inseam…
but really that vicious cat is just my thighs rubbing together.
And like, it’s a pain because I have to spend time patching up the holes, and they look messier, but I’m also kind of like:

In NYPD Custody, Trans People Get Chained to Fences and Poles
A trans woman says that when she was arrested for a minor subway violation, NYPD officers belittled her, called her names, asked about her genitals — and kept her chained to a fence for 28 hours. Now she’s…

It is great if you are a trans guy who wants to boost your testosterone levels with herbs, holistic methods, and anything else, as an alternative to going on T! But please stop calling it “natural transition.”
