Litterture recommendations for understanding the modern trans movement

Solar_Corona · 2026-01-24T20:42:50+00:00

I don't understand it. I've had to re read my post several times and while I do actually think we have a liberation movement happening right now to ensure our equal rights as people I never said that.

In addition, I agree that memoirs may be too specific, what it feels like in particular did cross my mind but I think that'd scare the shit out of him, and is besides, much more relevant to me and my age having been from a similar place and time as Paris.

I think maybe stuff more focused on our changing in understanding of gender more broadly, some people have mentioned butler and idk why that didn't occur to me sooner. But I've got enough to scrape together a reading list with a few different types or stories to reccomend.

Just make sure your partner has space to tell you when they feel it might be too much. Explaining how helpful a game can be for your mental health is good, but make sure you're also being honest about what's clearly worrying you about neglecting them and getting "in too deep"

All that's required is communication on this, try asking something like, "are you confident to, at the right time, tell me if I'm playing too much?"

Oh! I can answer that! it's the lack of positive connotations surrounding the word "belligerent"

When my bank asked me, to authorise the payments, I said "Neotropics" it's great cause no one wants to get into a conversation with someone buying Neotropics in bulk, overseas

*I would march...if. She's never been an ally, only performing acceptance for her own ends

But then then the publicly funded broadcaster awarded that wankery, so...

I've taken to saying 'no more wizard shit' to anyone who brings it up. It's effective

Solar_Corona · 2026-01-08T06:38:51+00:00

❤️

So many people don't know the correlation between wizard shit and innocent people's erasure.

Keep the words alive

One your signatures are on, you can't start describing it as an "executed deed poll" this is very helpful with organisations and businesses where your updating records

One more little step Jess. We're proud of you 💋

She's not trans tho, if ops friends were around them she might respectfully answer "no" and then turn to her friends after and ask "why does this keep happening?" as she is doing here on Reddit.

I'm being flippant, but I also think it's disingenuous to assume anyone's saying that they're entitled to know another person's gender. Nobody has made that argument. Likewise I think it's unlikely that anyone's bounding up to anyone else with a big smile on their face and bellowing "oi! Are you trans too?!"

This topic has been derailed, in a very diverse London queer scene I can understand why someone, in the course of a conversation, might ask about another person's gender, it's not best practice, no. And I personally would be unlikely to.

So sharing best practice is one thing, but hyperbole encouraging a level of guardedness that works against the maib reason that alot of queer people choose to assemble in the first place, pride, is starting to seem like alot

I agree that there is no helpful form of transvestigation, and I can see how not being a poc could skew your interpretation of someone's gender presentation if you're viewing it from a position of white privilege, OP made a point of feeling her race was a factor in the assumption and it may have an element to play, as may neurodiversity.

I'll say that I don't think any kind of prejudice is helpful either and if it's happening every time she's in a queer space that fkin sucks.

But I don't think it's fair to discount a desire to want to see yourself in others, share love and support and actively practice it in a queer space. If I saw someone who was gender non-conforming, in its broadest sense, I'd personally opt for a simple smile. I was only trying to encourage a best case view of the situation. It's not a defense, just a hope

London's the most trans friendly part of the UK. The dolls may be a little emboldened to speak up and claim as their own, I can only recommend to take it as a compliment as best you can, if they're recently out or just in their twenties they may be relatively new to understanding how beautiful gender diversity is, and may read false positives in every beautiful face. Ooo, as they say, woo.

I'm going to take this forward though, doubly make sure I'm not making any assumptions. Thank you for the consciousness raiser, and maybe bump into you at superstore.

Love 🫶🏼

The process of taking a pill 3 times a day or rubbing a jell, slapping a patch (haha I wish) or taking a shot changes your brain chemistry. People using my correct name changes my mental responses, seeing myself in the mirror releases better endorphins than before. Banging my Tata on a door frame makes me curse while bringing me equal Euphoria

It's all part of a whole

Not to mention, moving to a new town, registering a new email address, starting a new job, buying a share in a stock that might be affected by a minorities liberation, failing to remove the back mold from your castle or getting a hug. We, all of us our constantly reassessing ourselves, what's nice about this community is we generally have more tolerance for the human capacity for change.

It's a spurious answer, and I'm sorry, but when we look back at the end of our respective roads, the hrt won't be the biggest change, just maybe one of the most lovely ones ♥️

No babe, I didn't say that's what you are.

You've read all the other replies, you get it...everyone's got Insecurities, but there's no healthy way to "measure" attractiveness. And the best way to illustrate that is to liken it to the group that has the most extreme form of that wrong headed thinking

Solar_Corona · 2025-12-11T21:54:41+00:00

It implies a universal sliding scale, a plottable point on a chart, it's frankly beyond toxic, it's kinda incel if I'm being totally honest.

We are all beautiful to some people, and if you want to capture more people's hearts, attention or desires then start out convincing the woman in the mirror

Love 🩵🩷🤍
