“#random lol im attracted to you and I feel bad because I think its ‘cause I view you as a woman but can easily say he or Travis. If this is weird or you’re offended im sorry lol”
That just made me feel worse. I just don’t understand why I receive messages like that from trans*folk. I understand I don’t fit the norm, I understand I look feminine all day every day; even when I am dressed masculine. But what makes a trans* person want to say what they don’t want said to them. What’s makes it okay?
How do you guys not understand I get offended? Or upset? I wish people would think before they spoke. If you have to think twice about saying something because you think it might offend someone, don’t say it. 8 times out of ten it will.
Me and Lee will be speaking. Separately, but still speaking.
Ah I’m nervous already and it’s a month away.

Hi, I've been reading about "queer"ism a lot, and I've been noticing to find different definitions about it. I'm trying to learn about all the "labels" so to speak, before I identify as any or one. I was hoping that you could give really good info on what "queer" is ?
Gender queer, or queer as in sexuality? If there are any queer folk on my page that would like to submit an answer please do!
My body’s changing y’all.
Side note: my mom got me that necklace on a family trip to Hawaii.
Of the hate mail, and the comments, and the shit I get. It’s not helping. It never has.
You guys are fucken oppressed just like me. Stop being selfish and ignorant. Just because YOU hate yourself it doesn’t mean you have to put down everyone else has that fought to love themselves.
Every morning. I have to wake up to some shit.
“You’re a girl.”
“How could you love your breast.”
“Oh we’ll I don’t believe Travis is trans because of x and y reasons.”
It’s so annoying. Half the shit I get I can’t post because its triggering. And if you think I’m going to stop being who I am, or wearing “women’s clothing” or stop growing my hair. You better start prepping all those fucken hate messages now.
I’m not going to stop putting myself out there. There are so many feminine trans men that can’t come out because of ignorant ass people like you. They’re killing themselves and harming themselves and getting attacked because of YOU, and your disgusting thoughts. Someone needs to stan up for them. For us, and lets not even bring up how many trans women are being affected.
If you’re trans, or of color, or gay, and trans phobic you can go fuck yourself.

submission from createpsalms:
Travis. FTM. NYC. Just because I embrace the body I was born with, doesn’t mean I can’t wear bowties. Binary societies and their silly “rules.”
(via createpsalms)
BUT…
I just passed. Completely.
This woman that works in forever 21 bumped into me, dropped the stuff she was holding and said :
“I’m so sorry Miss!”
After I reached down to help her pick up the clothes she said:
“Thank you.”
And walked off.
And while I started to walk off, she came back looked at me. And said:
“I’m sorry sir. I meant to call you sir. Have a good night sir.”
Yup. She came back just to call me sir.

My best attempts at a gender spectrum. It’s a colour wheel.
Because it’s already established, I have put F, standing for Feminine gender, as red, and M, standing for Masculine gender, as blue. Going nicely with the pansexual flag colours, I have put O for Other gender (though part of me feels I should have put Third gender) as yellow.
Each gender/colour fades down to centre, where I have put A for Agender. I don’t really know/haven’t come across any people who are pangender, or completely grasped the concept, so I just put it on the opposite place to agender; the outside of the wheel.
With this wheel, you can say “I am somewhere between masculine and other, but it’s not a really gendered gender” and it makes sense, because you point at light green (which looks like turquoise, but this was the best wheel I found). You can say “If I’m anything, I’m feminine” and it makes sense, because you point at light pink.
And bigender? Sometimes *here* and sometimes *here*. Genderqueer is anything that isn’t red or blue, I think. XD
Perhaps someone could take this diagram and run with it, because everything I’ve seen so far tries to fit sex AND gender on the same chart, or is too 2D. This is the best I can do, and I think it could do with some improving.
A point of interest; I think I’m some sort of orange on this.
I love this.
If only I were a clownfish.
To have a chemical flow within you that is able to change your sex to the gender you are/want to be effortlessly must be so amazing.
Why can’t it just be that simple?
Why must we make appointments, spend so much money, have to be rejected by society, fight for rights we should already have, constantly feel uncomfortable and risk our lives to live “normal” lives; while creatures like clownfish, and parrotfish have the honor of switching back and forth to what they want, when they want?
It’s so mind bottling. To think, God, or whoever/whatever you believe in, made this as such.
Fish that don’t have to deal with healthcare, rejection, abuse, or mistreatment have the opportunity to be what fits them. But us, God forbid we even think out loud about who we are. We get attacked left and right, and I’m not only speaking for transmen I’m speaking for our sisters as well.
It just doesn’t make sense.
I’m always reading about fish, plants, and just about anything other than a human being able to transform into their desired being, and I can’t help but to be frustrated at times.
Why cant we be able do the same? iS it because we would abuse it? Is it because God/the universe believes we’re strong enough to handle a situation as such. Is it just for entertainment?
I wish someone could tell me.
I wish I were a clownfish.

I told you that il find a new nickname for you and will respect your preferred gender pronouns. Even if it was hard for me to let go of what I used to call you for so long. This nickname is perfect! It def defines a stud bagging the hot Mami chulas! Love you!
Lmaoo!! If you guys didn’t know.. This is my best friend. We’ve been best friends since highschool and she has ALWAYS supported me, and I know she always will. She’s my rock.
