Remembering our DeadNotice that most of the victims are Transwomen, because often times they are more visible. It makes me feel lucky that I pass completely. It makes me sad to think that we are still the most targeted group. It makes me alternately want to be an activist, and live 100% stealth depending on what day you ask me. I've never ( Read more... )

My thoughts...(About myself.) jordan23 November 15 2006, 02:00:07 UTC

I don't go around telling all people "btw...I'm a white male."
I don't go around telling all people "when my gf and I fuck I like to smack her ass."
I don't go around telling all people "btw...I weight 145 lbs."
I don't go around telling all people "I like porn."
I don't feel the need to educate the world on why I'm straight, why I don't smoke, why i enjoy sex, why I eat what I do, or why/what a ftm is. I'm against outting myself to educate bc I'm not willing to change my life style anymore than i have to. It's bad enough i had to pay so much to get this body...but why would i tell a person or persons just so they can try to put me down mentally or physically? Some ppl wear ftm buttons to show support...but when i have a "I'm stright" button on gay people give me the finger. I rather not live with my gender on my sleeve.

I go back and forth between that mentality and "well, if no-one was out before you, you wouldn't be on T right now".

I'd like to comment on the gay people giving you the finger though, why is it okay to wear your homosexuality on your shirt, but if you wear a "straight" pin, its offensive.I've recently been exposed to "heterophobia" for the first time. It wasn't directed at me, because these people assume I identify as queer, but more directed at the "straight-white-male" kind of guy. Which I am. The thing that offends me most is that they differentiate between XY guys and XX guys. What offends me second most is the assumptions they're making about heterosexual people are base on stereotypes, which is exactly what they hate about homophobes. Its a big hypocritical mess

...I didn't follow an out person to get to my T. So that doesn't always could. The guy I found about outted me in a way. Bc i wasn't on T and didn't fully pass all the time. He found out about T by a girl that went on t for a while and didn't feel it was right for her. Her voice dropped so that how he found out about her and T. It depends where you live and what you over hear on the street. There are plenty of people shouting to the roof top about their gender AND sexuality...my voice isn't needed, nor do i care to add it. i sometime go back to the place that first got me on T and i talk to kids they are helping. i out myself behind closed doors to kids that might go on T. But i feel no need to out myself to co workers, the local fry cook, or whatever ( ... )
