I Guess I Just Came Out to My Mother

(as trans-curious, I guess) I didn't think they would react in a terrible way or anything, I was just concerned that they wouldn't understand. She actually got it, I think. #genderidentity #nonbinary #trans #comingout

Your Adult Child Just Came Out as Nonbinary—Now What?

I came out to my parents are non-binary at age 41, and I created this post because I couldn't find a guide like this from any other source. I hope it's useful to folks.

My very first digital #zine after making black & white//cut & paste xerox style all my life. I made it for kids and I think these stories deserve to be in full color

I say I made it for them, but I learned so, so much and had so many realizations while making this zine. A small, bright act of resistance.

This is today's code-generated texture, right after I read about these endangered words. I don't know what to do about it, so I'll continue creating things.

If you are looking for a "[identifier here] (any gender, perferably [normative gender here]-presenting)" don't add "for diversity reasons" but "for diverse semblance".

Thats all. Thanks.

N.B. Liberals remove parental consent requirement from gender identity policy for schools
Parental consent is encouraged but no longer required when a student of any age wants their chosen names and pronouns used informally at school, says the document, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2025.

#Transgender #Men Experience #EatingDisorders at Alarmingly High Rates. Why?

7 in 10 transgender young adults grapple with eating disorders—an often-overlooked #struggle tied to both #genderidentity and #mentalhealth. #Transmen are the most
affected group.

Hey,
If I were to hold a tiny workshop about #gender topics, what aspects would you say I should definitely include?
Lets say the target audience are interested allies without a lot of knowledge about the subject.

I'm thinking:
* Gender equals gender identity. Talking about sex or "biological gender" in humans makes no sense.
* The number of genders is infinite. Thats why e.g. dropdown menus to select a gender make no sense either.
* Not all people identify with any gender. Many people don't like labels at all and that is fine. To others labels are helpful and that is fine too.
* Surveying the gender of people makes sense in studies about gender, otherwise gender shouldn't really be anybody's concern, unless someone wants to share their gender voluntarily (like in an online profile).
* Gender shouldn't necessarily be in Passports, Wikipedia articles or anywhere else.
* If there is "justified interest" in the gender of people, the interest is actually almost always in something else. E.g. for singers you might be interested in the vocal range.
* Even less interesting to you than another person's gender should be their reproductive organs, unless you're about to have consensual sex or planning to have kids together (not through adoption).
* If you don't know how to talk to/about someone you can ask them for their pronouns, but be mindful not to put them in a spot where they might feel forced to out themselves. E.g. asking for people's pronouns in an introduction round can be problematic.
* Every spectrum has an infinite number of dimensions. Just like you can't put people in two boxes you can't order them in a straight line based on just one aspect.
* Some words are discriminatory per se, other words are discriminatory in their traditional uses. E.g. talking about "women" when you are talking about people that can get pregnant is wrong - trans men, non-binary people, intersex people and people identifying with most other genders can get pregnant.
* There is no agender agenda. There is no trans agenda. We all just want kids and everybody to be safe and happy, not to evangelize them.
* You can't prevent gender diversity - you can only prevent people identifying with a gender diversing from the binary to feel and be safe, accepted and happy.
* There is no norm or "normal" when it comes to people - there is only normativity, which is harmful.

That's all I came up with for now. Gotta go eat now but I'm sure I'll think of a lot more important aspects.

Oh and please also tell me if you disagree with something I wrote or think I might not have used the best wording.

Thanks

I support @juliaserano in the fight to maintain #LGBTQ rights - tell your politicians: we will not go back. Hold our government accountable for their actions. Make them remember they are OUR representatives. They work for us - let's get what we pay for.
