In 1967, a trans woman named Vicky shared her life with an interviewer. The UCLA Film and Television Archive preserved the full short film, Queens at Heart, in 2009.

reading progressive sex ed caricatures with accurate and detailed and realistic diagrams of sexual organs + shows their variation, but all i can think about is how there is no discussion of what srs is besides the fact that it exists
how may people know the before and afters of vaginoplasty? phalloplasty? meta? how it works at all?
this one has been passed around recently from the mayo clinic and that actually makes me so happy because how many of transfeminine people are aware of what their options even look like?
there’s a diagram for phallo and meta from springer link(i believe) and. honestly i’d never seen these before and i dont think i’ve ever seen any diagrams. i know vaguely because of reading papers or listening to people talk about their experience but i’ve never seen it, yk? it makes me more confident in my choice to get meta when i’m older
There’s a website called Transbucket that has a whole archive of before and after photos, surgery costs, surgeon names and locations, and general feedback on complications, sensation, everything. It’s been around for at least a decade, and there are photos of some folks five or eight years down the line. It’s organized by procedure, and it’s very comprehensive. It’s NSFW of course but it’s an amazing resource!!!
Are you considering or have had transition care? | Transbucket.com
Demystify transition! Break irrational medical fear!
I've actually really wondered the specifics of phallo and meta so seeing diagrams is fucking awesome
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made
“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”
— Quote by Leslie Feinberg, from TransSisters: The Journal of Transsexual Feminism, issue 7, volume 1. 1995.
The fall of an empire has never been peaceful.
Every revolution, rebellion, and insurrection has been within a fascist regime. The election of Donald Trump is a natural consequence of the empire losing control. Our oppressors see queer, disabled, black, and other marginalized movements gaining traction and know that it threatens their power, so they are doing everything they can do to squash it.
Do not let this discourage you.
Now, more than ever, let us organize:
Join your local organizations– if you're close to a university, leftist student orgs will frequently host events or protests that are open to the public. If you live in an area with no or inactive organizations, consider forming your own! Even if it's just you and a few friends at first, we all have to start somewhere.
Read banned books and books by marginalized authors– book bans are happening for a reason. These books hold ideas and strategies that are dangerous to fascism.
Look to history– we did not get where we are overnight. It has been a centuries-long struggle. The Black Panthers, Redneck Revolt, the Lesbian Avengers, etc. Look at what they did right, what they did wrong, and what can be applied to our methods today.
Talk to your loved ones– yes, even that one. Allies are everywhere, even if you can't see them. As impossible as it seems, even the most conservative boomer has the potential for education and growth. Call out your friends when they say something racist, transphobic, ableist, etc.
Support one another– through mutual aid, shopping small businesses, sharing a GFM, giving to food banks, sharing community resources, and more.
Practice self-sustainability– canning, dehydrating, and otherwise preserving food. Grow a garden, raise your own animals, collect your own honey. Build independence from an unstable capitalist system in whatever way possible, even if it's a single tomato plant.
Center more marginalized voices in conversations– especially those of Palestinians, black women, and trans women.
Take care of yourself– you cannot organize or join a revolution if you're so unwell that you can't even get out of bed. Set limits for yourself and know when it's time to take a step back.
The Kiss (1882) by Eadweard Muybridge
Unearthed in 2011, this short video created by cinema pioneer Eadweard Muybridge of a kiss between two women is the first kiss ever in the history of moving image, predating Edison's "The Kiss" by over a decade.
just crying over how romantic Freddie & Jim were nbd
So I read the book, and almost everytime Jim gave/made Freddie a gift, Freddie would always show it off and say “My husband got me those!” or “My husband made that for me!” It’s so sweet, especially for this one part when they first started dating:
yeah?
This is from Mercury and Me by Jim Hutton. I hunted all over and couldn’t find this book online or in my local library’s network. Some good news- if anyone else is looking for this book it’s available on the Internet Archive!

Happy ace week!
In our research on ace history, we came across this article, published in the New York paper the Village Voice in 1971. The article, intended as satire, lamented the difficulties of being an asexual person - "the man or woman with the courage to say the whole sex business leaves them feeling like a limp noodle”, in particular the lack of ace visibility, and the prevalence of sex in media.
Although it was meant as a joke, the article genuinely resonated with some readers, who thanked the paper for raising awareness of ace issues. One reader even reportedly wrote in offering to contribute a weekly ace consciousness-raising column to the paper.

"Where were transmascs during Stonewall?" Across the street throwing lit mattresses at cops and chanting "gay rights, gay rights, gay rights!" from the windows of the Women's House of Detention, asshole.
There were also drag kings and butches at Stonewall, Stormé DeLarverie for one. Considering we dub Marsha P. Johnson as a transgender woman even though she described herself as a drag queen, transvestite, and transsexual–the terminology available to her at this time–it isn't far-fetched that one of the many names and faces of the Stonewall Riots could have been what we could call a transgender man or transmasculine individual today.
LGBT History Month is celebrated every October in United States since 1994. It was first proposed by Missouri high school history teacher Rodney Wilson, who chose October due to the establishment of National Coming Out Day in the late 1980s on October 11. October also marks the first National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, which took place in 1979.
While Pride Month in June commemorate the Stonewall Riots, most schools and universities are out for the summer and is a missed opportunity for classroom instruction and discussion. LGBTQ History is less about the parades and parties (and corporate rainbow washing) and more for learning bout the people and other historic milestones of the LGBTQ civil rights.

Hey guys, sorry for being so ia 🙏 I officially began my classes toward my degree about two months ago and oh my god no one warned me how hard it is being a uni student
Strange town where men aren’t wanted LESBIANVILLE, U.S.A. — that’s what they’re calling Northampton, Mass., population 30,000. Some 10,000 gay women live in the area. Welcome to Lesbianville USA - a bizarre town where so many women love women you can even find them cuddling and kissing on Main Street! The place is listed on maps as Northampton, Mass., but here are just some of the reasons why it got its nickname: • Some 10,000 gay women live in the town or nearby. • The newspaper publishes announcements of same-sex engagements and “commitment” ceremonies on the same page as weddings. • A popular lingerie shop hosts an annual lesbian night. • One book shop sells “Just Say No to Men” buttons. It also has a lesbian fiction section and a sign telling men to browse elsewhere. • In bars and restaurants, women hold hands across cozy tables and dance cheek-to-cheek. • A monthly newspaper lists events such as a lesbian town meeting, plus get-to-gethers for older lesbians and “Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays” • About half the town’s 245 businesses are owned by women, although not all are lesbians. • There’s a yearly Lesbian Home Show - where men are NOT welcome. • Even the graffiti is gay! On a railroad overpass near the center of town someone painted: “Fern & Lisa 4-ever”
