Little reminder

Non binary people are real and have always existed. Don't let anyone tell you other wise. Transgender people, too.

“transgender people have always existed”

[weforthey-blog]

This is extremely important to understand. Transgender people have always been around and for you to say that this is “new aged tumblr bullshit” is an insult to transgender people who face discrmination and are more likely to being killed and assaulted soley because of their gender identity.

I am really, extremely, amazingly excited to announce the release of my new Hello Pronoun stickers! I posted about these on twitter last night, but I can finally talk about them at length a bit more here. 

The stickers read “Hello, address me as:_________, Please use: ________”, allowing you to declare your name of choice and preferred pronouns immediately upon meeting people. These have been my pet project over the last week or two and a lot of thought has gone into their production. The colours were specifically chosen to be nongendered - no pink or baby blue (The Ze/Hir/Hirs looks a bit blue in these pictures but is really solidly teal), They rather specifically do not read “my name is” to head off people being dicks about “Is that REALLY your name?” because frankly it doesn’t matter if it is or not because it’s what you fucking go by. (Besides which, the concept of a true name is pretty bullshit unless you’re looking into demon summoning) I feel like there are a lot of great potential uses for these! They’d be great at school LGBT-club meetings or other large gatherings where you’re likely to meet a lot of new people, like conventions. They can be used right after coming out to help people who’ve known you for a while adapt to your new name/pronouns. If you’re genderfluid, you can use them to declare your preference on any particular day (and I’m looking into some more permanent buttons that’d make this much easier). They can even be used to remind that one old friend who can never get your damn pronouns right. Overall, it seems like these’ll be a wonderfully useful thing for folks under the trans* umbrella to have around and I’m really happy to have made them.

Obviously I couldn’t cover every pronoun variation/combination, particularly on the first run of stickers, but I tried to cover my bases on common nongendered/third gender pronouns. I’m completely open to taking requests for additional stickers, though, and if I get enough requests for a particular pronoun set I’ll be glad to maker a sticker for it.

I’ll have these with me at SacAnime this weekend for 1/$0.50, 5/$2, and 10/$3. They’re currently available on my Storenvy at 5/$2 - I’ll be adding 10/$3 after the con, at the moment I just want to make sure I don’t run out as I’ve only printed up 160 of each design.

For those of you who can't wrap your heads around non-binary identities:

If you believe that sex/gender is entirely biologically determined, you have to admit that non-binary people exist because chromosomal sex, developmental sex, primary sexual characteristics, secondary sexual characteristics, and hormonal sex all exist on undeniably non-binary scales. There’s no valid scientific argument that any of the above are strictly binary.

If you believe that sex/gender is entirely socially determined, you have to admit that non-binary people exist because of the undeniable historical and contemporary evidence of non-binary cultural identities, because there’s no logical reason to assume that a socially constructed identity category would have to exist on a binary scale, and most of all because there is a sizable and growing community of non-binary people that say they exist, and that’s how social constructs are formed.

If you believe in a combination of the two (like I do), there’s really no middle ground where you can pretend the facts above don’t apply unless you have some sort of religious reason, in which case I can’t help you.

Non-binary identities are real. Get over it.

Example email to professors/teachers regarding your name/gender on the roster vs what it actually is

I’ve used same format on emailing professors about my name multiple times. It’s clear and succinct, which makes it like the best or something.

Mr/Ms/Mrs/Dr/Prof [Last name],

I am a student in your [Name of course] class next semester. The roster will list me as my legal name, [Birth name]; however, I prefer to be addressed as [Chosen name] and with [female/male] pronouns [he/she], [him/her], [his/hers]. Please also forward this to the appropriate T.A. or assistant or let me know who they are so that I may inform them of this preference as well.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

[Chosen name]

Gonna bring this back since it’s almost back to school season. Luckily I don’t have to do this anymore but this was my routine for 6 quarters and it honestly saved me from a lot of anxiety on the first day.

[transgenderadvice]

Here’s a reference for the anon who just asked about going to a new school.

[bisexual-community]

There is an acute stress that comes from feeling like you are not a legitimate member of a community. In non-urban areas lesbians and bisexual women experience comparable levels of frequent mental distress, but in urban areas distress decreases for lesbians and nearly doubles for bisexual women. Resources and support are more likely to be available for lesbians in urban areas, and still likely to be nowhere to be found for bisexuals. Regardless of established need, projects addressing issues related to bisexuality are the least funded among programs for the lesbian, gay, bi, and transgender communities.

Why you shouldnt care if someome is trans*

1. Its none of your business 2. It doesnt affect you 3. If still confused read numbers 1 and 2 -Chanel

[trans--love]

I always see people referring to genderfluid as being only changing between male and female so here’s a shout out to my fellow genderfluid people who

-switch between male and non-binary

-switch between female and non-binary

-only switch between non-binary genders (example: agender and demiboy)

-can’t explain/put a name to the genders they switch between

we are here too
