Was es sonst so zu berichten gibt
Ich bin vor einigen Wochen 30 geworden, und es war mein erster Geburtstag den ich “als ich selbst” gefeiert hatte. Zusammen mit einer Freundin auf einer Lesbian&Friends-Party. Das war ein super gutes Gefühl und ich hatte jede Menge Spass.
Letztes…
Can we please just talk about how amazing Yollada Suanyot is?
-She was elected to represent Mueang Nan District on the Provincial Administration Organization of Nan Province in Thailand.
-She graduated with a science degree from Thammasat University when she was 21.
-She holds a master’s degree in political science.
-She is currently working toward a Ph.D. in social science.
But that’s not all.
-She’s been a model.
-She’s been a beauty queen.
-She’s been a pop group.
Oh, and she’s transgender.
Yep.
That badass lady right there has done all of the above whilst not even being recognised as an actual female but has kept going regardless.
-She also founded and chairs the TransFemale Association of Thailand, which advocates for transgender rights.
-She’s raised a ton of money to pay for transgender operations and has helped so many trans people make their full transition.
Did I mention she owns and manages an entire jewellery line?
So to recap…
-She’s an entrepreneur.

-She’s a model.
-She’s a singer.
-She’s a politician.
-She’s an adovcate for transgender rights.
-She’s got a load of degrees under her belt.
She’s just 30 years old.
I don’t know about you guys but she’s literally a hero to me.
So here’s to Yollada Suanyot for being an awesome and empowering young lady!

2786) For one or two months, I was obsessed with the inevitable question: am I a man, or truly a woman? I finally found the answer: it doesn’t matter. These are just labels needed by other people, I didn’t have to carry this burden. The true question was: how do I feel living as a woman? The answer was and still is: real good. This fact being clear to me, must say, people now see me as a woman. Turning the page on doubts allowed me to go further.

Reblog if you’re gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, transgender (AND ALL OTHER IDENTITIES) or a supporter.
This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

Chelsea Coreen - “Fart”
“But how @%^# up are our standards of beauty, or gender constructs… that we make little girls hold in their farts until no one is around to smell them”
“When I used to visit my grandmother in the hospital she would make me apply her red lipstick for her - she said she couldn’t be seen without it.”

So, I paint my nails pretty regularly these days. I also work as a barista/cashier pretty regularly these days. A few weeks back, I had a customer come in, a fairly typical, sheltered, suburban soccer mom, and she ordered a latte from me. She saw my brightly colored nails and said, “Wow, you’re so brave! My son asked me about painting his nails, and if it’s okay for boys to do that. Now I’ll tell him there’s a cool guy who does it too!” It was a nice moment, very cute.
Then, last week, she came in again, and said, “Hey, I’m so glad you’re here! I want you to meet someone!” She then brings her son forward, and says, “Okay sweetie, show him what you did!” And he throws his hands up, showing off his bright, sparkling blue nails. He shows them off, and I show mine off to him. He smiles. We fist bump.
Guys, I’ve only wanted to cry once at work before, and that was when someone ordered a large dry soy cappuccino on ice.
This time, though. This was a good cry.

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
