I don’t understand why a person’s gender identity or sexuality is of concern to anyone else, particularly a politician or religious fanatic. Celebrate Pride and be wary of the haters.
I saw that birth announcement a while back and it made me tear up with joy over those parents.
I don't know why the right is so laser focused on what's in people's pants. Why not just give everyone some simple respect and take them as they say they are; call them by the pronouns they prefer, the name they've chose.
I mean, did the world go apeshit when we found out Cary Grant was really Archibald Alexander Leach?
I learned a lot about trans people when a coworker's son transitioned from female to male, before he hit puberty. My coworker is an amazing woman, an amazing mother and a wonderful advocate.
And some Cis people do think that Cisgender is an insult because for them Transgender IS an insult.
XOXO
P.S. If you're on Insta, you should follow @thetranspainter, Rae Senarighi. He's sooo cool! I met him during Milwaukee pride and left trying to buy half his little store! (got two t-shirts and five stickers, though..)
No one should ever feel like they're trapped in the wrong body. As a straight woman born with an XX genome, I'm not crazy about the "cis" term because I don't like labels -- I think labels and the squabbling over them do more to create divisions in society than heal them. And we ALL should be concerned about the rise of nazis and other far right-wing, nationalist forces in North America and around the world!
Brilliant - especially that last one. Keep the proud celebratory spirit going, SWS. It looks great on your blog. I hope HRH is being supportive too. (She can get a bit tedious and pretentious, as you know.)
Great stuff, Debra. I love all of them. However, the one about republicans transitioning into nazis is scary because it is actually happening with their ignorance and hatred. Take care.
that meme, Republicans trans to nazis is true and frightening. what's this conservative trend worldwide? why? we are all spirits in bodies here anyway...
...I'm much more concerned with republicans who are transitioning to nazis, AMEN!
