“Having only ever had a trans experience, it took me a long time to realize how...”

I had to _underscore_ the italicized portion in the quote since we can’t put formatting into quotations.
I still feel like this a lot.

Me too.

Wow. I actually, like, love all my followers.
I’d like to say thank you for the lovely support that you guys have been showing me over the last week or so. You guys rock.
Also hello to the sudden influx of new followers I’ve been getting recently. You’re all so lovely!

[TRIGGER WARNING FOR TRANS HATRED AND CISSEXISM]
This is a really fucking shitty post about the distinct turn for the shit (oh yes, it IS possible) my life at college has taken as of this morning.
I hate college. I have no friends here. I mean, I have people I get along with, even people I enjoy spending time with, but the very second something bad happens or I get upset I’m shoved right...

kiriamaya:
I mean, I do want to “pass”, since that will mean it’s less likely that I’ll get murdered and stuff. But I don’t want people to think I’m “just an ordinary woman”. I don’t want to go deep stealth; I don’t want to go silent about transness once transition is over. I want to keep on challenging people’s notions of gender, keep on shaking up their worldviews, keep on fighting in hopes...
Seriously.

Anonymous asked: Good luck! I wouldn't dare come out anywhere with meatspace people myself -- too much of my social history has been with moderately conservative+ Christians, including my family.

Please folks, donate if you can. The button is on the front of my blog.
I took down the total of the money that’s going to that homeless trans women fund so that I can get donations again without taking any of that money and I plan to move it to the fund or donation thingie asap.
I hate asking for this but I dunno how long I can sustain my shit and I dunno if more hospital bills...
flapjackstate asked: I am so sorry for misgendering you. I acted thoughtlessly in ignorance, which seemed to be the trademark of the blog. You have every right to hate me for this, I deserve it.
I don't want to hurt people any more.
I promise I won't make that mistake again.

here’s a website you need to know about. It’s called spokeo.com and functions as a search database. It probably has your name, address, and phone number at the very least, and possibly your photos, relationship status, hobbies, estimated income, and other information about you. You can remove yourself from their directory, but it can be a little tricky so I’ve put together this...

Fresh Feminism: Transgender Is An Adjective
feyboy:
Trust me on this. Transgender is an adjective. Transgender is not a noun.
You cannot make transgender a verb by adding ‘ing’. Transgendering is not a real word.
You cannot say that somebody ‘transgendered’. This is also not a real word.
Transgendered should not be used as an adjective. It’s...

PCMC: Coming out trans*. Again.
So, yeah. I’ll just repost this over the next few weeks until people fucking GET it. I’m going for a meal with my mum on Thursday which is when I plan on coming out to her.
I say plan tentitivly, because I am incredibly bad at coming out. You’d think with all the practice I’ve had I’d’ve improved, but no. Still rubbish.
OH WELL.

PCMC: Pronouns, guys. Please.
Okay people, lets say it together:
CHARLIE IS A HE. EXCEPT WHEN ZE IS A SHE.
YES it’s complicated. And, yes, some people in my life DO get a special dispensation on the pronouns- but only the ones who literally have no way of knowing what my current gender presentation is because they live miles and miles away and thus cannot see me.
But you? Whilst I’m sitting RIGHT HERE with my...

heyhinate asked: Hey. Saw your post about the whole name thing. So far, I've emailed all of my professors. Well, first I went to the counseling center and talked to this gu that is the advisor of the queer club here, then I emailed my profs, one I actually talked to face to face because it came up in class. I also told my rd because I live in the dorms, I don't see my roommate so it hasn't come up,...

Please Call Me Charlie: College angst & Trans*...
Going back to college tomorrow. I’m seriously, seriously considering giving up and just presenting as female because good god I think the constant dysphoria might be less upsetting than the ignorance and idiocy that permeates currently.
BUT I’ve only given it one day so far, and even I can see that’s a little unfair.
So, going back, presenting as male, insisting on being called...

TMI THURSDAY? Oh yes. (I shouldn't watch Star Trek...
I have a severe thing for both Spocks.
(Oh, and Evil Spock. Because, you know, facial hair.)
I also have a thing for Snape. Like, I had a thing for him back before we knew he wasn’t evil. Because I am a freak. (Also he’s Alan Rickman and-)
WHY DO I LIKE ALAN RICKMAN SO CREEPYMUCH? OHGOD THE VOICE HNNNNG. LIES I LOVE HIM BECAUSE OF GALAXY QUEST AND THE FIRST THIRD OF DOGMA.

I DRAW SOMETIMES: Sketchbook pictures 2.
[Picture is an unshaded pencil drawing of a cis man. He is mostly facing the viewer, but his torso is tilted slightly towards the right of the screen. His frame is slight and his arms are brought up in front of him, the hand to the left of the screen seeming to be adjusting something on the arm to the right of the screen. The drawing is not finished, so his hands are just suggested lumps and...

I DRAW SOMETIMES: Sketchbook pictures 2.
Second in my set of picspam pictures I’ve drawn since Christmas.
Note: The following are all characters for/set in a D&D campaign run on a forum by my friend. They are all designed by me, and as such are pretty much my sticky, nasty children. Their backstories were thought up by me, as were their names, personalities, looks, and every little thing about them. HOWEVER. This does not mean...

Please call me Charlie: Talking to my college...
So I went back to college this Thursday. The first thing I did was talk to one of my college teachers (tutors), Drew, about being called Charlie, and using male pronouns (whilst ideally I prefer hir/ze, him/he is a compromise I am willing to make as him/he doesn’t upset me, even when I’m feeling more femme than homme.)
