We’ve had questions about transitioning later in life or in middle age but haven’t been able to find too many resources about it. Here’s a bit of info on that from Tranifesto

It’s self-explanatory. True Selves: Understanding Transsexualism—For Families, Friends, Coworkers, and Helping Professionals is a good book for anyone struggling to understand transsexualism - whether you’re finding it difficult to accept a family member, a friend, or just trying to come to terms with your own gender identity, this book is the gentle nudge that can (probably) help. My uncle once told me that knowing someone personally, or becoming friends with a person who identifies as gay (or transsexual) is usually enough to teach someone that it’s nothing to be feared or ashamed of. For those who have yet to cross paths with a trans-identified person, this book can easily become that friend. With a simple and straight-forward approach, clinical sexologist Mildred Brown guides the reader directly into the hearts of those who live with mind/body incongruence. Relying heavily on her extensive experience with transsexual patients and friends, Brown reveals the harsh reality and trauma that accompanied her patients through childhood and adolescence. The stories and poetry written by her transsexual patients exposes raw emotional pain, and this is what makes the book interesting. There’s also a list of resources at the end of the book for transsexuals who need support, which is always much appreciated.

Anonymous asked: I have no idea if you have any info on this, but I'm a gender fluid female and my sexual identity is very strongly male. I want to experiment with strap ons, but is there a strap on that can simulate ejaculation? I know about STPs but obviously I don't want to pee, I want some sort of synthetic material I could use to ejaculate into my partner?
Not that I am aware of. If any of my followers have informatiton on these type of products, let me know and I will let you know anon.
dysphoriafucker asked: i just wanted to point out the problematic language in the post you just made about the catholic school student. it referred to him as having been "born a girl," and then continued to say he "refused" to do something i think we can both agree he should not have been forced to do, attributing connotative blame. i think the opening statement, at least, could stand to be reworded.
I agree. I don’t write any of the articles on this blog. I do however spend a decent amount of time looking for trans* related new articles on internet. A lot of them reflect the internal cissexism of the author. I am sorry this disturbed you. Feel free to add trigger warnings to any articles posted on this blog.

Q: I have been renting an apartment to a man named Michael, who recently asked me to start calling him Michelle, because he says he now identifies as a woman.

I can understand feeling like you should be a different gender from what your parts are, or from what you were raised as, but I don’t understand what it would be like not to feel like either gender.

If you present in a traditionally feminine way, you’re just being a misogynistic parody of a woman, and if you fail to present in a traditionally feminine way, well ha! There’s the proof that you’r…… more at I’m A Trans Woman And I’m Not Interested In Being One of the “Good Ones”
