Things worth noting in the middle of being happy about the same-sex marriage bill: it contains a clause which allows spouses of trans people to veto their obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate (i.e. legal recognition of gender on birth certificate), even if that spouse is abusive. The only way around this is divorce. So if you want to transition and your spouse doesn’t want you to, they can stop you for as long as it takes for you to divorce them, which can take years.

This is referring to the England and Wales same-sex marriage bill, which also has some fuckery related to pensions for transgender people. In addition, it creates problems for non-binary and intersex people.

Is 'crossdresser' or 'dragqueen' offensive? And can you please answer my other question?

Not trying to be rude, but this is one of the most easily googled questions you could have sent (and I never got your other message, I don’t think)
unless a specific trans woman says she is a crossdresser or drag queen (and this would apply only to this ONE trans woman-not all), the answer is (pretty obviously) yes, it would be offensive.

A transgender woman was stabbed repeatedly and dumped into a pond tied to a block of concrete in Cleveland, Ohio.

police announced yesterday they had identified her body after she went missing a month earlier on 27 March.

The 20-year-old was found three weeks later naked from the waist down with multiple wounds.

The man who found her initially believed the body was a mannequin, and contacted police who checked their missing persons list.

In the past, Acoff had clashed with police and the courts over her wish to be treated as a woman.

In January 2012, a judge found her guilty of possessing dangerous drugs after Acoff pleaded no contest.

These drugs included hormones used to boost estrogen in women. She was fined $1000 and sentenced to 100 days in jail.

this just breaks my heart. heavy trigger warning

the war on drugs extends to getting hormones street side.

Her name is/was Ci Ci (Cemia) Dove. Below is a donor link for her family. She was a part of MY community. https://transohio.donortools.com/my/funds/52068-Cemia-Acoff-Fund

Has anyone ever been to/ Is anyone currently considering going to the Philly Trans Health Conference in June?

I’m just trying to get an idea of whether or not i want to go.

By the way, that Arizona trans bathroom ban is nothing new

socialistexan:

Oh yeah, and while Arizona was busy trying to formally ban trans people from the “wrong” bathroom legislatively, a Colorado school banned Coy, a transgender student, from using the “wrong” bathroom as well.

I don’t know if y’all remember this story from a few months ago, but it caught a lot of attention on tumblr, especially because of the gross sexualization, misgendering, and all around disgusting CNN article (mostly from the comments, it should be noted) about her.

Don’t think for a minute that this shit hasn’t been happening for ~~years~~, ~~decades~~, centuries. It’s almost always been a sort of de facto ban on trans people in the “wrong” bathroom enforced through social norms and all that lovely “invisible” bigotry, it’s just now starting to become public law.

thetreesareenergy:

Republican legislators in Arizona are attempting to pass legislation that forces transgender people to only use public restrooms, dressing rooms and showers associated with the gender listed on their birth certificate. According to the Associated Press, conservative lawmakers are proposing the legislation in response to a human rights bill passed by the city of Phoenix which prohibits gender identity discrimination in public accommodations.

i have a couple more messages that i’m still trying to figure out how to respond to; Don’t worry, I’ll get back to you~

People are mean. It is just what happened. I have been made fun of, and so has everyone else. I understand it fucking sucks, but don't think you are the only one. You want equal rights? Here you go, the right to be disliked because fuck you. EVERYONE has that right, you are just a lot more offended by it.

being assaulted/murdered for being trans (&more than likely POC) is a lot different than “someone was a little mean to me.”

Being denied proper (if any) healthcare/employment bc you’re trans is a lot different than “someone was a little mean to me”

being told that/treated like you are less than human nd your existence is unacceptable (by SOCIETY) for being trans is a lot different than “someone was a little mean to me”

Why is it insulting to say I like transgendered people? Or people by a gender, like I like transwomen? How is it different from saying "I like women" or "I like men"? I thought you wanted to get treated equally with everyone else....

it’s not insulting to be attracted to trans people, it’s insulting to fetishize trans people & insinuate that they’re sex objects vs people & that (for example) binary trans women are a different gender than binary cis women.
