trying to find my way.
genuineeeegenuinee:
Sex is just as much of a social construct as gender.
How can one explain how this statement is true?
The first response is usually something like, “But science says…!”

Stairs
It has only been about a week of taking the stairs more often than elevators going both up and down, and I have already noticed an increase of stamina in both my legs and ability to breathe upon reaching my destination. Its sad, really. But that is precisely why I decided to make that little change.
I hope to make a considerable amount of changes to my workouts and make quite a bit of progress...

Transphobic Rejection →
A blog entry from the Transfag Sex Journals, detailing being rejected on the basis of their trans status, and how passing has played a role in their confidence as it stands in having encounters as a transman.
Please note that while yes, they were rejected, this blog is full of entries of successful encounters with other men, both cis and trans. Do not be discouraged.

cis & trans birth - revised
First of all, I think it should be noted that I do not believe in sex as it is typically taught. So to say I was once something I do not believe ever occurred creates quite the quandary. My definition of sex, is that it follows a persons personal identity.
Having the label FTM asserts that I was once F - something I have come to realize I never believed was ever true - as the OP says is the...

This perfectly articulates my feelings towards terms such as cisgender, transgender/transsexual, and FTM/MTF.

White History Month
They want white history, white tv, white etc.
Imagine, they have only one moment that makes them think about it.
They have only one channel that makes them demand a white channel.
Yet some still believe they ought to have these things.
Funny, isn’t it?

Life as a Middle Child: What is it with Ghetto... →
sumney:
I get it now.
All my life, I grew up being told that “black” names are ghetto and held by people who are likely to be trashy. If you know a girl named Laquisha, Latoya, Shaniqua, or Kelendria, she’s probably the neighborhood hoodrat, and even names like Tyrone and Tyrese are blacklisted in our society (pun intended). Statistically, it’s been proven that resumes and job applications that...

Words
Words, they can mean so much - yet so little. But an instructor once reiterated this quote to the class, “words don’t mean things, people do.” Words mean but so much, depending on whose mouth they originated. Words; absolutely nothing yet everything.
Still, it all comes down to how I feel like words don’t mean shit. Not even these, at least not in the grand scheme of...

I watch you while you sleep,
so care-free, so trusting in the promise of Tomorrow's embrace...
I love you--that vulnerable you, that trusting you...flaws and all--because I choose to.
And by whatever strength flowing within me-you shall know the embrace of Tomorrow.
You inspire me to see the beauty of the new Dawn at your side...

I now need $1,000 in order to have top surgery. If I can get said money by early March, my spring break and 21st birthday will consist of sleeping in extremely uncomfortable upright positions whilst letting my chest heal as I treat myself to cookies, grapes, and juice.
