Same. I know how to take a weapon off someone else, but I don't do anything else.
I'd like to learn to shoot, sometime. But at the same time, guns do scare me, a lot. It's way too easy to...

Wren, I do see that. I do. Your journey is not my journey. And you, on your journey, would be supported if you wanted to post something about those cool shoes. Check on my shoe post, in the...
Well, damn, don't I feel welcome and respected. :beatup:
I'm not touching why certain members chose to leave - those discussions were personal and closed. (Although in several cases, the...
Yeah, they've been doing that.
:sad:
I like having male friends because I'm more comfortable with them. My female friends will bring up their boobs, or their periods, or sex with their boyfriends, or their shoes, or whatever, and I...
Yep, there are straight (or bi/pansexual) girls who dress up as guys on occasion just for fun. A good friend of mine is pansexual, and does drag king performances. She has a completely female gender...
Okay, Wren, it seems your problem is more us generalizing that "all women" do certain things, yes? While the irritations you mentioned might seem minor, I absolutely agree that we shouldn't be making...
I'd also like to see some examples. I'm not clear on when we might have done this. And obviously, if I have, I'd like to know so I don't do it in the future.
I'd like to make clear that I have...
That's very true, Logan - what's considered acceptable for men and women is very different. But I wasn't really talking about what society says I'm allowed to do, I was more talking about what I...

Secondly, to reiterate what was said in that thread - it's not about "wanting" anything. I am who I am. Being male is special...
That's the thing - I don't have any problems telling people I'm trans. Did it this past weekend a number of times. (You changed your name? Why?...Ooooh! So is that why you're wearing a tie now?...
I consider my church to be my support group. It's not about GLBT issues there, but it is an open and affirming church. So when I have a dysphoria breakdown after service when someone tells me my name...
I like yellows and oranges - warm colors. My landlady warned me before I moved in that this room was really bright yellow. It is, and I love it. Very cheery.
(Also: :heehee:)
The way I handled it with my sister was something along the lines of "I love you and I want you to remain a part of my life. This is where my life is going next." I've repeatedly told her to let me...
My response to the "what causes this?" question is always the same: I don't care.
It doesn't matter to me whether this is a genetic condition, a hormonal imbalance in the womb, a psychological...
I haven't felt like hiding, but I am done explaining. I'm ready to stop coming out (it seems like every day someone new walks up and asks me why I changed my name), I'm ready for people to just know...
I have the exact same problem. I despise making phone calls. (in fact, I've just been posting about it here, because I'm in a similar place - hormone clinic needs me to call for an appt.)
The...
They're open. I have the number. I know who I'm supposed to speak to, and what I should ask for.
I just have to call.
Except I have to make a phone call. To someone I don't know. And this...
Just got a return email from them (surprising, actually, as I wasn't expecting that until Monday at the earliest) saying that I'll most likely need to make an appt before they can write me a...
It's become really obvious to me that I'm not going to be able to get my hands on hormones in Allentown without doing another year of therapy, if I can get them at all. I'm feeling really stable...
I hope it all continues to go so well.
I feel you with the repeated corrections on the name - sometimes I don't bother because I'm so tired of doing it.
That's pretty awesome that you have a trans professor, and a campus setup that facilitates things like that (although please tell me by "trans washrooms" you really mean unisex, trans washrooms would...
I think the program from this year's Trans-Health Conference is still available online (if not I can scan mine in). That particular conference was extremely transmasculine friendly, as well as being...
I'd suggest the same thing. Don't alter your appearance for the trip, just make sure your ID is your current picture, whatever the name is.
Once it's not late and I haven't just finished driving a couple hours, I'll come back and read the other answers, because I'm sure they're fantastic.
I'll through in my $0.02 though.
