“Being Male”

Posted on September 3, 2008 by Kathryn

This is something I wrote in my personal blog, and I just thought I would share it here as well. It is a reflection on how I felt about my life as a “male” and how I experienced that life. The concept of life as a male, that life before transition and even during transition, [...]

Writer’s Block: Gender Bender

Posted on June 14, 2008 by Khyri

Livejournal has a feature which I’ve never used – a daily question with which to inspire posts in those who lack anything else to write about. It’s a bit hokey, but today’s question caught my eye: Do you ever want to be of the opposite sex? If so, what attracts you to the idea? If [...]

New England Transgender Pride March: Thoughts from a straight ally

Posted on June 10, 2008 by Khyri

I discovered this thought-provoking blog post from Jendi Reiter: The first-ever New England Transgender Pride March took place this weekend in Northampton, and I was there with my “Episcopal Church Welcomes You” rainbow tank top and a digital camera to capture the pageantry. I was hoping to blend into the MassEquality contingent, but they were [...]

A recent study that we all should read!

Posted on June 5, 2008 by Amber Darlene

I found the link to this study along with a copy of the paper at Transgendernews, a yahoo group. Here’s the link. http://www.intersexualite.org/Zucker_boys.html I think you’ll find it quite enlightning about Zucker’s real agenda, but you should read it and make up your own mind. Amber

A Slight Case of Cognitive Dissonance

Posted on May 26, 2008 by dunyazad

My long-suffering significant other and I went to see Iron Man a couple of weeks ago. This, in itself, is not out of the ordinary: we’re movie people, so we see a lot of them. About halfway through the movie, though, I suffered a bit of a blow to my basic epistemology. The set-up: I [...]

More comments on controversial trans-theory

Posted on May 21, 2008 by Amber Darlene

I wanted to revisit the subject of Autogynophelia, because it seems to me that, the way it’s described, it seems to fit me as well as anything else that I’ve read.  I actually went to the link provided in an earlier post and read the information given there, and as I read the article, I [...]

Educating the World – Person to Person

Posted on May 11, 2008 by Khyri

I had a rather cool experience recently which showed me how small the world is – and how the right approach can cause people to be accepting even when you don’t expect it. My friend Abby suggested I share it with you all. It all started one day at work – I was at lunch [...]

It’s all over when I go out thinkin’

Posted on May 7, 2008 by Karen

who am I ? what am I ? how am I ? Explain. Explain. Explain. I sometimes get tired of having to explain everything I do. I chatted with a guy on line today, and, for the 15 minutes, or, so, we chatted he was nothing but questions. How this. Why that. It was all [...]
