Gita, thank you for this--and particularly for taking the time to collect opinions from the broader fanbase.

I personally find what Jontron had to say during the “debate” (if such it can be called with a straight face) absolutely repugnant, on both a (personal) moral level, and as someone who is reasonably well-versed…

This article hit home hard for me...like a gosh darn sledgehammer to my head.

This is why I could never date a chaser, despite craving the physical intimacy that has eluded me since I transitioned almost 10 years ago. You’re looking for love, and all they want you for is a cheap thrill, something as easily discarded as the browser window on their favorite shemale porn site.

We had the news on, and they were interviewing a trans woman who I would never have even guessed was trans if she hadn’t just said so. So my wife and I were talking about the fact that if that woman on the TV walked into the ladies room, neither of us would bat an eye. But if that same trans woman were forced to use…

And that’s the point of these bills. They’re intended to lead to harassment and even violence against trans people with the hope that trans people either stop existing or at the very least stop going in public.

No. Trans men aren’t claiming that they were born with a penis and testicles; trans women aren’t claiming they were born with a vagina and ovaries. Their existence is about a physical difference in their brains that causes them to identify with the gender usually assigned to the opposite sex, while simultaneously…

I’d give anything, everything. to have a romantic partner who feels that way about me. I’ve never made it past three dates, so the idea that one person could see me and *KNOW* she wants to marry me, it just beyond conception.

Okay, so, since apparently it’s hard for folks to understand.

I hope that teachers, administrators, trans students and their parents remember that Title IX still protects students from discrimination based on sex, and trans kids have every right to demand that it protect them, too.

Thanks! Yeah, I’m grown up, and I’m getting nervous. My heart is really with the kids; they operate in a world where name-calling, physical violence, and ostracization are socially acceptable behaviors. Over 20 years later, I can feel the ghosts of bullies past hovering over me in the locker room. Even if SCOTUS…

I have a niece who is currently transitioning at a 13, and it is extremely difficult! She has a supportive and involved family, her school is extremely welcoming, and she’s still sometimes suicidal.

Yep. I came out late last year to my coworkers and started living “Full Time” the first of this year. I’m actively involved with a number of other trans folks as well.
Trump’s administration has been a fucking nightmare. The news is stressful and our fears of what’s to come leaves us in various states of anxiety and…

I publicly came out last May. I work in a federal building. I pee in a federal building. I shower and use the gym in a federal building. My colleagues have been nothing but supportive, but still I pretend every day not to be terrified that it will be the day that someone finally gets “brave” enough to act out on…

This sudden regression to the vilification of transgender people must be a nightmare come true for the many who’ve found the courage (and what they thought was support) to come out over the last few years. They’ve gone from out and open to dangerously exposed within just a few months. Yet another reason to fear the…

a Trump presidency hurts every minority group. i feel like we will all be set back 20 years.

I legit just tweeted this, but I feel I have to reiterate this here too-

The ‘real life experience’ used to be the standard of care, but the revised guidelines have removed that necessity - especially important for access, and to properly address the needs of genderfluid/nonbinary people. Some doctors who were trained under the old model like to talk about it, but as far as the Province of…
