Sometimes that works, and sometimes you just want to do whatever it is you are doing without having to risk having the same battle over and over. 

I never thought to look for that. Thanks!

I just bought a pair of closed toed Haracha sandals from Mexico to wear to the office. It’s not flips flops like the ladies wear, but it is a pair of sandal’s and I’ve managed to slip them into my conservative business attire. 

My spouse and I are both transgender. She’s FtM and I’m FtM. We’d like to be able to swim publicly without being screwed with by people. 

This right here. I’ve met these kinds of people. They are not an ideological group. They want to hurt people. They are looking to hurt people. If it wasn’t protestors, it would be a trans woman trying to use the bathroom, etc. They attack marginalized groups because they feel like they can get away with it. Period. 

I need someone that does the authors job when I buy my next car. I need an article on how to find someone that can negotiate for me. I have “easy mark” written all over me when I walk into a dealership. 

That’s cool. I am a very tattooed man with a beard and a deep voice. My birth certificate says female still, so I am more than happy to pee next to you if you are a lady, or your daughters or wive. I’m sure nobody will mind. . . . . . . . . .

I had one for years. We used it in all sorts of tiny apartments. I often kept it in a different room than the kitchen. It saved me so much money.

This is so stupid. I’m a transgender man, and do take testosterone weekly. There is no exact numbers on what testosterone levels are feminine. We have general ranges. Testosterone goes up when athletes hone their bodies.

Seriously. I’m gay and an atheist.

Maybe I worked as a nurse too long, but those look more like medical devices than underwear.

According to one article I read:https://www.romper.com/p/how-long-is-kesha-under-contract-with-sony-she-might-not-release-new-music-for-years-6019

I don’t have any data on that. I do suspect the risks are about the same as for gay men. In a lot of cases, cis guys don’t really object to trans men like they do to trans women. I’ve never been in prison, but I have moved in some hyper masculine environments and I am openly transgender. Sometimes the bro-dudes are…

Seriously, yes. When you talk to cis people, all they feel the need to discuss is who has a penis. Sometimes the only point you can make is to point out their assumptions about rogue penises are wrong.

Yeah, I am really doubting that’s an overarching policy that is available to everyone. I’m in liberal McTrans-Friendly land, and we don’t even have things like that. The number of spaces that have super trans friendly bathrooms are still shocking, and number on less than one hand.

Yeah, thanks for making my point for me. My birth cert still says female, so by the rules you are championing, I would be locked in with women. You have failed at recognizing transgender men exist, which was my entire point.

That’s cool. I will happily room with you in a prison cell as a transgender man. I’ve got a beard, and am heavily tattooed, and as of last year I have a nice new penis. I’m sure it doesn’t matter to you because my birth certificate is from Arizona and still says female because they suck for getting that changed.

These people are purely attacking transgender women. I guarantee they have never considered trans men. This would put a transgender man like me, who looks as cis as they come, into a women’s prison. I am not the one that would be at risk in this scenario. I would be the one that would have access to female prisoners.…

I think that is part of it. Most folks that hate gay folks really focus on gay men, not lesbians. Trans men often get confused with more masculine of center lesbians until we flip over that line with the testosterone. Nobody really sees us, and the media doesn’t find us half as interesting.

These folks like to pretend we don’t exist. I had a very mormon dude come up with this crap to me at my last job. I reminded him I am a transgender man, and that I’d be more than happy to take my middle aged, bearded, tattooed self into the ladies room with his daughter, if he was worried about trans women. Somehow he…
