    vizzz: new project?

    vizzz:

    i’m hoping to turn the drawing of Alyssa i posted here into a larger project? people seemed to respond very well to my 20 memorial portraits of trans women (which you can find here if you haven’t seen them). it’s very important to remember and honor them, and so i’m very glad the work i made…

    Some days I love being a trans woman

    thefangirlslayer:

    Some days I wake up and just love being trans.

    I love that it fucks with cissexist assholes who don’t know shit.

    I love the fact that I got to choose my own name.

    I love the fact that since I have come out I feel free to be me and no longer have to adhere to what people think I should be based on the fact that I was assigned male at birth.

    I love the fact that being a girl and woman is awesome and fucking empowering! Despite this what society tells us. 

    I love the fact that my body feels more like mine the longer I have been hormones.

    I love the fact that I am me and that the world has seen the real me and has all but forgotten that person I was forced to be.

    Yep, some days I love being a trans woman! =)

    Are you a femme who needs a mentor?

    Are you new to identifying as a femme? Closeted?  Young?  Isolated? Or just need extra support?

    Femmeffirmations is a BRAND NEW blog dedicated to finding established femme mentors for other femmes who need community.

    All you need to do to request a mentor is send a message to the blog (link here).  In your request, just let us know what you’re looking for in a mentor (identity markers, age, location, etc).  Then you will receive short list of mentors we think might fit your needs best.  We are also going to publish all of the mentor info on the blog, so you can browse that way as well.  We will tag each mentor’s submission with markers that might make them easier to go through (examples might be dapper, ftm, poc, autistic, etc).

    You can message as many mentors as you’d like (you can never have too many femmes!) Just make sure to reference Femmeffirmations, so they know that you found them through the mentorship program <3

    If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!  And remember, all of this can be completely anon if you’d like.  Just please make up a name so we can keep track of who we are talking to.

    The child who knew

    The Boston Globe covers the story of twins, one of whom is a trans girl.  They do a pretty good job, but misgender her at the beginning.

     sqs-tec: “Transgender WTF” by Van B. My final project for a feminist performances class. I chose to do a web comic of myself and how I feel about being trans/what trans means to me. It’s part of a more extensive project/paper, creating a new trans narrative not based on self/societal hatred or violence, the denial of the former self, etc. Just because I’m a transman doesn’t mean I follow traditional masculinity. (This also extends to transwomen.)Yes, I paint my nails. I love things that have glitter. I am fabulous. I am and always will be trans, and I’m proud of that. We hope you’re enjoying the comics! Van has been invited to create a storyboard with a fellow illustrator/animator, so we’ll see more shortly. Feel free to reblog/repost, just give Van B. credit! :)

      I think this is great, but I want to know where they got their data from. I have been researching trans* youth and there is very little (if any) data like this.  Mostly researchers just ignore this population.
