A Love That Transcends Gender

I met the man of my dreams in 2013 . . . She just happened to be a woman. Her journey from male to female began not too long ago. I'm along for the ride right beside her and on a bit of a journey of my own. I'm here to share my experiences on the other side of things as the spouse of a trans woman.

I don’t know if this is known, but there is now a Trans Crisis toll free hotline in Canada. I just saw this poster at my university.

The phone number is:

1-877-330-6366

[hrefnasoldblog-deactivated20220]

Just one additional detail —

The line is not ALWAYS available, so you may want to check out their website, because there’s always a note displaying how many counselors are available at that time.

Here’s a schedule for their available hours.

[kucala]

They’ve been experiencing super high call volume and are looking for volunteers!

Her Story wins 3 awards at Trans Film Festival in Germany

Best Picture

Best Actress - Angelica Ross

Best Actor - Christian Ochoa

About Her Story: “Trans women in the media have long been punchlines, killers, indications of urban grit, pathetic tragedies, and dangerous sirens. Rarely have they been complex characters who laugh, struggle, and grow, who share strength in sisterhood, who seek and find love. Her Story depicts the unique, complicated, and very human women we see in queer communities. Her Story features predominantly LGBTQ women, on and off-screen.”

No One Forced You To Get Married

[alt-and-black]

one of my coworkers said something like this and it made me think about married culture in the US. his wife had been out of town for the week and he was really excited to go home and see her and we asked if they were doing something special, and he was like “No??? I just missed my best friend.”

the comment above is the cutest thing in the world

[happilychildfree]

If you don’t love your spouse, divorce them, and move on. Then again, misery loves company.

2015: Man-on-man marriage 2017: Man-on-child marriage 2019: Man-on-dog marriage 2021: Man-on-car marriage 2023: Hopefully the world ends by then tbh

Two consenting adults, be they man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, or any other combination not specified by the above, are now granted the right (as they always should have had) to enter a legally binding contract and obtain all its attached benefits.

Children cannot give consent. Children cannot legally sign contracts. Children cannot get married.

Animals cannot give consent. Animals cannot legally sign contracts. Animals cannot get married.

Optimus Prime is a sentient being and leader of the entire Autobot race and I don’t think you have any place telling him who his people can and cannot marry. If he is okay with Rewind and Chromedome or Astoria and Powerglide then you need to step off.

WELL SAID

[animatedamerican]

It’s very easy to make Gracie’s mistake here if you persist in thinking of marriage as “a man and his chosen marriage object” rather than, you know, “two people choosing to marry each other.”

Says something about how some people view heterosexual marriage.

[kyraneko]

DING DING DING DING DING we have a winner.

None of these people have ever expressed a worry that dogs will start wanting to marry men, or that houseplants will start wanting to marry cars.

This way of thinking only makes sense if your view of straight marriage depends on “man actively choosing, woman passively chosen” and gay marriage only fits into your worldview as the distortion “man actively choosing wrong thing,” as though it’s a Sesame Street comedy sketch with Mr. Noodle trying to marry a pocket watch by mistake, presumably with his pants on his head.

Interestingly enough, I’ve never heard someone warn us about women wanting to marry anything, either.

[naamahdarling]

thank you for that mental image.  and yes, this is exactly right.  i’ve never seen any anti-marriage assholes talk about what they’re afraid WOMEN will do.

This, holy shit, yes. Literally until now I never understood how people couldn’t understand “can’t enter into a legally binding contract” when it came to children, animals, whatever. And now it’s clear as fucking day. And even grosser than I realized.

Pat Robinson opposes gay marriage but it’s not his fault, it’s really the fault of Elmo.

Remember the good ole day when nerd didn’t go outside and try and converse with you while playing FUCKING POKEMON GO.

SERIOUSLY, YOU’RE PLAYING A FUCKING GEOCACHE GAME AND BITCHING YOU RAN INTO OTHER PEOPLE.

[the-smiling-pony]

Speaking of

[cheshireinthemiddle]

She made Pokemon Go about misogyny.

She got a game that literally encourages going outside and shows this in all of its advertisements, then complains when people talk to her while playing said interactive game.

[colorsofsocialjustice]

Encourages people to interact even, and made out that doing so with women is bigoted. Seriously, can these people get their heads out of the asses, please and thank you. - Purple

[bizarrodf]

my favorite thing about this is it is literally one of these comics

[neverusethissiteanymore-deactiv]

Nothing on the Internet makes me mad, but this genuinely makes me mad and it’s not because of misogyny or gender issues or anything like that.

This makes me mad because it’s SUCH a bad message to send to people with serious social anxiety- People who have a really hard time opening up and making friends.

Pokemon Go is a godsend for people like that. It gives them an immediate icebreaker to spark a conversation.

People who genuinely have a hard time making friends are going to see this article and think “Wow, maybe it’s good I’m not opening up to people.” It may make people with social anxiety think “why bother talking to a person if they’re just going to pretend to be nice to me and then go home and write a newspaper article about how much they hated me?”

Not to mention, that completely out of nowhere line about “who knows what I’d catch if I went with him”. Are you implying he is diseased or something? What the fuck is your problem? What if he READS your article? Don’t you think that’d hurt his goddamn feelings?

I never ever get riled up about anything like this, but fuck you Robyn Vinter. You are a massive, massive douchebag.

fuck you robyn vinter, and fuck your danger hair too

Ellen DeGeneres Says 'Finding Dory' Will Have a Transgender Stingray

Finding Dory is one of the summer’s anticipated movies, not because we’ve been waiting for the sequel for more than a decade, but because it is including the LGBTQIA community. In an interview with USA Today, Ellen DeGeneres said the film will be darker and more complex than 2003’s Finding Nemo. The actress/comedian, who voices Dory once again, revealed there will be a transgender character. “There’s a stingray that’s becoming sting-Rhonda, so there’s a trans sting in the movie,” she said.
