I made a blog for asking questions about gender, it's called generquestions. There are currently three admins, one FTM, one MTF, and one who is bigendered. I'd really appreciate if you'd promote it here :)

It really bothers me the way some people address sexuality. In my town, most people are really open and accepting about it, but we never talk about it; I had to figure out bi and asexual were things on my own. And now that I'm getting older, never having been sexually attracted to someone in my life, I'm getting really tired of people telling me I just need to wait for "the right person." Maybe I'm just asexual. Maybe they should let me be that way. Sorry for the rant, it just really bothers me.

hey. I have an amazing boyfriend, but my jealousy of his cock and cis male body keeps me from being the kind and gentle partner I wish I could be. the fact that he is pansexual makes me wonder if he wishes he could just be with someone who id's as female. the fact that I am a top fills me with even more fury and sexual frustration, which gets worse when I'm id'd as his 'girlfriend' or 'fag hag' or 'dyke pal'. I wish I had a cock and i could be with him the way i want.

You should talk to your partner about that, and maybe supportive trans friends? a lot of people who are trans feel that way with their cis partners.

I'm almost always mildly dysphoric, which I can usually deal with. However, since yesterday, it has gotten stronger, and I don't know how to deal with it. Any Suggestions?

Read Hello Cruel World by Kate Bornstein? That’s all I really can think of… I’m sorry, I don’t really know how to deal with it either, other than survive it and do anything you can to make it feel a little less horrible (as much as you are able to, I’ve found mini-makeovers help)

here’s to all the quiet queers.

all the queers who eat micro-agressions and secretly cry themselves to sleep.

the queers who dress the way their cis mothers told them to.

the queers who think about killing cis fucks every half hour, but never say a word more radical than “sorry.”

the queers who sip tea at their friend’s house while considering suicide, since that’s just about all they can think about.

the queers who are living double lives.

the queers who put on makeup at 2 a.m. in a hand mirror, making sure to wipe it off before school the next morning.

the queers who go to work dead and come home to see the world.

the queers who fuck, and suck, and kiss with the same hands and lips they use to eat dinner with their well-meaning shitty-acting parents

the queers who are ugly to you, too fat for you, running from you with lips sewn shut

here’s to the quiet queers, since it’s about fucking time we stopped shaming them.

There was a question way back about it being hard to be hired for gender presentation ambiguity. All I have to say is that I have a friend who has felt like she experienced this, and personally I experience a similar thing: I have a very ambigious race--I'm white (australian) but I have asian/ german/ russian heritage--and people often feel the need to decipher my race before they start interacting with me properly and its just so frustrating. So yes, I just wanted to answer that old question
