That is really cool. I hope that over time more relationships will survive when a partner transitions. The track record is pretty tough for a lot of couples. I think the separation rate is about 50%, from what they say. Stats are hard to gather in the trans community. My wife is going through a lot with my transition.…

Well said. My wife is going through this with my transition and it’s been very hard on her. My wife was pretty scathing at Kris Jenner’s “no comment” to the special, though. She thought that despite mixed feelings privately, the right thing to do would be to publicly support Bruce. I think that my wife might be less…

God I need a job here.

Cis women spend a lot of time and effort to learn how to appear feminine, from the time they are children. Many of them want to learn this stuff. I remember being given pre-teen beauty mags and having nail care sessions and beauty sessions with my aunts. I was taught how to put on makeup and how to dress and how to…

Doesn’t need to - Federal law says that taking photos or video in public is perfectly legal, and uploading to a secure server are perfectly legal under First Amendment law.

You can take pictures of police brutality against black people. In fact, you’d be a pretty awesome ally if you did - the police would be less likely to do what this asshole did.

I get her concern as a mom. But we need her kid protesting. We need me protesting, and you protesting, and her protesting, too. All of us need to be standing out there next to her kid, keeping him safe by standing up for him. That is the only way we fix this.

Actually, lots of men do just that without any relation to gender transitions. I had a conversation about it with a plastic surgeon recently while building a database of trans-friendly medical providers for my region. They work with trans folks and cis folks to do some of the same surgeries.

Stannis is getting ready to descend on Winterfell, too, don’t forget. Sansa will have some army at her back fairly soon. Stannis is looking for a Stark to install in Winterfell to keep it safe.

From the books, it seemed that the “flayed man” sigil was really just symbolic and a thing from the Bolton long-distant past that people just tolerated because “historical.”

But killing Renly, though. His own brother. I can’t get past that with Stannis.

Many of us trans guys are in the same unfortunate boat. Curves are the bane of my existence.

having attended in the past, and as a trans man - it’s a shame that the festival itself is closing, but that has been coming for a long time, and isn’t completely to do with trans women.

As others are pointing out, the shirt really exists and people have tweeted/ complained about it at other events in the past. Scroll through the threads for the links.

Leelah specifically asked people to speak out against her misgendering after death. She was calling for people to take her parents to task - read her blog. It’s all there. That was in her last wishes. Recognizing her as a girl was only part of that. Respect all of her wishes, as I said.

I disagree. Here in Indiana, two trans women have been murdered for being trans. Both are misgendered on their tombstones, which I’m reminded of every time I visit to lay flowers on their graves on the anniversaries of their deaths and on Transgender Day of Remembrance. It affects me gravely to know that their…

For those of us who are trans - I reject that notion. My family members are absolutely obligated to recognize me as the gender I say I am, and I’d welcome and encourage people taking them to task publicly after my death if they didn’t do so. AS DID LEELAH, if you read her letter and other online posts. If you respect…

During the hearings for the bill in both the house and senate, there were numerous amendments proposed to make the language more specific and clear that the bill was not one of discrimination - amendments to prevent LGBT discrimination, ensure than church-run day cares had to meet the state requirements for safety,…

I have seen a version of this book that is blank. dunno if all of them are, but the one I saw had the same cover. It was handed around the family by my grandmother, who scoffed at it because she and grandpa were still getting it on well into their 80s, as she was very open about.

That might explain why we haven't seen any of the Greyjoy scenes - if Euron is Daario, we can't see the same man in both places without knowing what's planned.
