daggerpen:
Ashley Del Valle is a transgender woman from New York who was arrested in Georgia for indecent exposure after she allegedly showed her breasts, but then was housed in an all-male jail.
I just.
You arrest her because her top is too sheer and shows her nipples, something that is only a crime for women.
And then you jail her as a man.
Fucking fuck.
What.
Geez. What is wrong with...

“You can’t be asexual because you don’t reproduce by self-replicating” is basically the same argument as “Your nose can’t be running because it doesn’t have feet.”

In discussions of bisexuality, you may often notice people thinking that there are contradictions inherent in bisexuality.
Over the past couple of days, I have read several articles:

Because literature creates community, and
Because it is incredibly important for bisexual people to see bisexuals represented in the media around them, and yet
Because books about bisexuals are underrepresented in mainstream as well as gay and lesbian review sources,

A court in Seoul has ruled that transgender South Koreans can amend their gender on official documents without having to go through genital-altering surgery, Korea Times reports.
Five transgender people filed the case in a district court. One of the five, a transgender man, said he had had a hysterectomy but felt that there are medical problems that arise from removing sex organs....

gay-mo:
The child I babysit sometimes is 5 years old. Last time I went to take care of him I noticed he has this awesome painting of the moon in his bedroom. He told me his mothers friend painted it. After he told me the artists name he then explained to me “She used to be a boy but she didn’t feel good so now she just takes medicine and it helps her to be a girl. She feels better”
It’s...

How is Same-Sex Marriage Affecting the Wedding...
I’ve been pondering this question for a bit, so I decided to do a little research. According to this article ( http://www.bookmorebrides.com/same-sex-marriage-and-the-wedding-industry-hype-or-salvation/ ) and many others like it, it seems that same-sex weddings have given many wedding-oriented businesses a huge boost in profits.

A Strange Day in the Life of a Bisexual
Alright, I’m going to make things personal for a second, because I recently had a weird, emotional roller-coaster of a day.
I usually feel that I’m pretty open about being bisexual. I don’t keep myself in the closest at all. However, on the other hand, I don’t often meet new people. I don’t usually have a reason to tell new folks about my orientation. This past...

Unfortunately, this only links to a preview of the article, but it’s still cool to see. The article is about the surgical transition of a trans teen and his process of applying to college. From the preview it kind of reads like another article that’s mostly an introduction to the basics of transgenderism, but I guess that that sort of article is what a lot of people still need to...

Genderqueer Characters in Comics →
Here’s a nice article about some cool genderqueer characters in comics. I don’t know them all but Xavin is my favorite. Ze kicks butt and so doesn’t get us humans and our gender hang-ups. Be sure to check out the whole list though!
