Dysphoria and Sex

CodyOriole did an excellent video inquiring if sexual dyphoria improves after starting testosterone; the short answer is it does!



Here is my response.

Choosing a Name

Jakftm did a video on choosing a name, and I think this is a common problem many trans people face, so here is my response to him; his video no longer appears to be available.

Trans Thought of the Day: Parent/Dating Rant

Snipncody, aka Shaun did a short video venting about his mother always questioning the sexuality of the women he is interested in. I responded back to him also expressing my frustration with how my mother always inquires if the woman I am interested in/seeing know my trans status.

It makes you feel invisible sometimes; I just want to be human and not have to think about "transy" things for one day.

LGBT Social Stress - One Thing I Hate About Being Gay!

Here is a video from imawsome202. She doesn't identify as trans, but she does identify as lesbian and made this video ranting about some of the social stress that she (and her girlfriend) have to deal with that directly results from her sexuality; it is the same kind of social stress trans people have to deal with on many levels and I thought many people could relate to this video.

She's sick of people staring at her and her girlfriend when at parties and other social situations; I can relate, I've often been stared down at parties, dehumanized, invalidated, and left feeling like some kind of alien.

As someone who was been othered, I find living in an environment like San Francisco where heteronormativity is actively challenged and rejected everyday certainly has helped me to feel less isolated.

Urban Exploration: Chicago

Hey everyone! Welcome to the first post in the "Urban Exploration" series! One of my favorite things to do is document San Francisco while I'm out and about as I'm a big fan of urban living. I saw this video from JayYankee88 exploring Chicago, and it inspired this series.

Here he is exploring Chicago, Illinois.

London Pride & Trans Youth Network

Here is a video from Karl, aka grimreaper636. The first is about his experience at London Pride last year and also gives some information about the Trans Youth Network, which Karl has found to be a helpful resource in coming out as queer youth.

You can check out the Queer Youth Network here.



Karl also has another video in which I am mentioned as one of his role models, among several other great guys.
