I get so frustrated looking for trans women resources that I find respectable. If I had the time I would love to start a tumblr (with an attached website to make it easier to go through the history by categories) that linked to all of the fabulous free resources and advice that trans women are making out there on tumblr and youtube and various sites.
I would like it to be

A friend of mine found a link to the video of the trans woman beating up the cis guy. Honestly, it’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I’m a little disappointed I wasn’t more “shocked”. Why is there this double standard, this is so messed up

HUGE Trigger Warning post for anti-trans women violence
How come youtube takes down a video in less than 3 days of a trans woman beating a guy who was harassing her on the subway as a “violation of youtube’s policy on shocking and disgusting content” and yet the video of a trans woman getting beat up in a McDonald’s remains on youtube after months! Is it really so...

I usually don’t signal boost on this blog, but I’m just so impressed with these women.

Here he put someone down for being poor and insinuated it was some form of punishment since the OP doesn’t like that Buck is transmisogynistic or classist.
Here he posted a video of queer people of color as a token of his anti-racism?

I think I’m gonna start doing profiles of other trans women artists, maybe on a weekly basis or something like that.
I was so afraid I wasn’t going to pass my classes this latest quarter at my university, which would’ve put my
job as an RA in campus housing at stake and my financial aid. Turns out I got a 3.5 GPA this quarter! but I did get an incomplete in one class and I have a withdrawal in another. In total I was only graded for 10 units when the minimum is usually 12 but I think I’m gonna...

I totally purchased a couple sport bras and wore those when my breasts were first developing and I had to take dance classes with tighter clothes. If you comfortable wearing looser shirts, you should be fine with a compression sport bra or two for awhile.

Oh my god, I would love to do this so much. Why can’t I ever think of anything when it comes to things like this?
How did I just find out about this now? The deadline is in less than 2 hours! Fuckfuckfuck.
Update!
I submitted a proposal. I’m hoping to facilitate a workshop about trans* sex and dysphoria.
A workshop on tran sex would be awesome. I’m hopefully...

I totally forgot about this
but did anyone else notice the other week where Dan Savage asked Kate Bornstein if it was okay for a straight guy not to be attracted to trans women (wtf?) and Kate Bornstein randomly turned it into a diatribe about how straight cis people who are friends with SSA and…

Still trying to write that essay about my experiences as a trans concert dancer. My professor told me that I wasn’t writing for my audience. The implied statement is that I’m not writing for a cis audience. I’m compromising some of my language in order to speak to this audience, but I’m trying to not compromise my story. I already notice that I do this for certain political...
