I know exactly what you mean, Jenn. I haven't graduated to breast forms yet (I use bags of uncooked rice wrapped in paper towels), but I've definitely experienced the pleasure of bumping into things....

No disagreement there at all, Zooey. I wasn't trying to imply that I think that. Many others in our society, however, DO think that, and it's a serious problem. Many uninformed people still think...

This, I think, is indicative of an even larger perception that our society has about gay, transwomen, and gender non-conforming men: that such men are predatory and perverts. I know I don't have to...

I so desperately want to present with small boobs, maybe not an A cup, but a small B. A 34B would be amazing. I'm very short for a man (about 5'5), so you'd think I could pull it off, but my love...

I remember a friend trying to get me into SL, and even though I was really into MMOs at the time, it didn't do much for me and I only played for about a week as a male avatar.

However, when given...

But who defines "appropriate" and what are their metrics for defining it? The patriarchy and their propensity for making women feeling shame about their bodies. Men can and are encouraged to get away...

"When you do something stupid" is the crux of victim blaming where the innaporiate or illegal actions of the guilty party are ignored. When the "something stupid" is, let's say, a young woman wearing...

Yes, because that's what empathetic human beings do.



It's sexist, misogynistic, derogatory, and harmful to all women because:

1. To call a woman "a skirt" strips her of her entire identity...

Just because no harm is intended doesn't mean it isn't harmful. If we lived in the same apartment building and my apartment caught fire because you left your stove on, you'd be responsible, right?...

Aaaand that's the exact attitude that allows injustice to go unchecked. Saying victims of abuse or harassment, be it physical or (as I would say Julie was) verbal should "get over it" is no better...

I just saw your related photo thread. I don't know how I missed this wonderful story earlier!

I'm glad to hear that you had so many great experiences everywhere you went! I also think it's a...

Chancey, I love your Hanji! Where did you get the jacket?

Allie, that's a shame to hear about your Peach costume...even if Rosalina is the superior female Mario series character to be. ;-P I'm...

Tracci,
Fans cosplay/crossplay for any number of reasons. Some people like it because (depending on the costume) of the craftsmanship in putting together the outfit. Both of my examples are simply a...

Has anyone here ever done any crossplaying (cosplay but as a female character)? If so, do you have any pictures? If not, what character(s) would you like to crossplay as?

For Halloween 2014, I...

Well, usually it's easiest to meet at the drummer's house. What time works for you, Lily? :D

Depending on what I'm wearing, I sometimes fantasize about being in a riot grrrl band, probably playing bass guitar. I've always loved 90s riot grrrl rock (especially Sleater-Kinney, Hole, and...

First of all, kudos to your amazingly supportive wife!

Second, don't beat yourself up over being nervous. If you forced yourself to go in feeling anxious, you probably wouldn't have enjoyed the...

I haven't seen the film yet, but "Confessions of a Womanizer" is getting a lot of attention, particularly because the actor Kelly Mantle, who plays a transgender prostitute in the film, is...

I chose my name by feminizing my given middle name (Christopher), so I didn't consider any meaning beyond that. I was disappointed, however, when I looked it up and saw that all it means is...

You'll hear no argument from me that race is an inescapable, biological result of heritage, so your point that a crossdresser "can always go home and change" is totally valid and well taken.
...

Julie,

While I'm sure there are some who would disagree (oh labels, so fun!), a twink is generally regarded as a very young (lets say 18-30) gay man who is very skinny and often short, has...

This is the story of my life. Being genderfluid, I find that TV and movies can have a massive triggering effect on me. It's so frequent that I'm having a hard time thinking of specifics!

One of...

Personally, I can't stand the word primarily because of my experience with it when I started questioning my gender identity and crossdressing. As a younger person, I don't immediately associate...

"Not that passable" my butt! You look amazing! I'd never have the confidence to wear those short shorts.

Congrats on your first time out. It seems like it's little trips like this, not necessarily...

I know I already submitted three in my first response, but how I could I forget almost every indie/hipster girl's style goal, Zooey Deschanel!
