What an example for the right way to respond to someone! I especially like the line "A girl came to me and showed me her soul..."; that is what being gender non-conforming is like - you are exposing your soul to people and asking them to accept you as you tell them you are.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/validation66_small.jpgvalidation66_smallSince my realization, I've become much more sensitive to these kinds of "jokes". There few better ways to kill my good mood than to have this happen, especially in a TV show or movie that I really like. I've lost interest in shows because they took this low road. And there's nothing quite like enjoying in a live stage production and feeling the wind knocked out of you because one of these jokes is used. It can kill the entire experience in a single blow. I hope that more people become aware of this and can influence the media to be better than this.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/validation61_small.jpgvalidation61_smallI've had similar conversations with my therapist. I want people to be informed, and teaching people kind of comes naturally to me, but sometimes I just want to be accepted at face value and not have to explain. I am me, and that should be enough.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/validation8_small.jpgvalidation8_smallFirst off, I need to point out that the word "tranny" is widely considered pejorative. Please don't use it. Thank you. That said, it does get used, and can be very disheartening to hear. This comic points out that to be gender non-conforming can mean that you have to grow a thick skin and be able to ignore rude and insulting comments and looks. It's not easy.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/makeup.pngmakeupNailed it! I've never cared for makeup, even though I recognize it's utility. In my ideal world, we wouldn't need makeup because we would see each other as we truly are, and we would love each other that way. We are all beautiful human beings, and makeup tends to hide that natural beauty.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/fears.pngfearsOuch. The truth hurts. And this is pure truth. I reached a point where I realized that if I did not address my feelings, it would kill me - metaphorically and possibly even physically. I've had a few people tell me that I'm brave or courageous, but I reply with "is it truly brave if you do something because you have no choice?". I don't feel brave or courageous - I'm scared and vulnerable, all the time.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/birthday.pngbirthdayAnother direct hit. I struggle with the feeling that I've missed my chance to express my gender in a way that I will be accepted (see "Passing" post), and I'm so scared of what my future holds. But there are moments when my spouse is able to help me see myself as my true self (well, at least catch a glimpse of myself), and those are amazing moments. But the last panel is also so true. My spouse is in a horrible position where to love me and support me means to help me move away from physical qualities that attracted them in the first place. So even these moments where they help me are bittersweet, for both of us; me, because I'm feeling affirmed, but also recognizing that I'm becoming more challenging to maintain a relationship with because I'm losing some of those qualities; and them, because they don't want me to hurt, and their instinct is to help me, but the very act of helping me hurts them. Also, birthdays have always been hard days for me, because those are days that my defenses against my cross-gender feelings were lowered, and I found myself unable to enjoy celebrating my birthday. Emily is giving such an amazing gift, at such a personal cost!https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/you-were-given-this-life-because-youre-strong-enough-to-live-it.pngyou-were-given-this-life-because-youre-strong-enough-to-live-itLooking in the mirror is a tricky thing for me. Sometimes it's no big deal, and others, it makes me want to cry. For me, part of how I experience dysphoria is that looking in the mirror can mean that I am (painfully) reminded of how my body actually is, instead of the way my mind feels it should be. The text is also meaningful, because my spouse and I have long maintained that God only gives us what we can handle. So it follows that I was given these feelings because I (and we) are strong enough to find our way through this.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/we-do-not-decide-to-be-transgender.jpgwe-do-not-decide-to-be-transgenderI like this because it points out the lack of choice on gender. It acknowledges that it is self actualization that drives gender-non-conforming people to make changes to their lives.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/transquote-361.pngtransquote-361Transition is a complex topic, but at it's root, it simply means that a person is working to become more of the person they truly feel themselves to be. It sometimes (but not always) includes changes in appearance, name, pronouns, and how one wishes to be perceived in the world. Some people interpret that as a rejection of the person someone was before they transitioned - a metaphorical "killing" of the old person. But that's not true. In my case, I'm not trying to get rid of the person I was, but I'm trying to allow more of the person I've always been to be expressed. I don't hate the qualities associated with my assigned gender and I'm not trying to eradicate them; I just want the freedom and ability to express qualities of my actual gender (and to be accepted and affirmed as that gender).2021-01-21T01:59:30+00:00weekly0.6https://genderworld.org/2021/01/22/what-is-gender-part-3/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/image.jpgimage2021-01-19T16:39:27+00:00monthlyhttps://genderworld.org/2021/01/19/q-do-trans-people-know-i-reject-your-trans-non-word-cisgender/2021-02-22T22:12:02+00:00monthlyhttps://genderworld.org/2021/01/15/what-is-gender-part-2/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1386194705_dearest-creature-0.png1386194705_dearest-creature-0https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/why2benglish2bis2bhard2bto2blearn.jpgwhy2benglish2bis2bhard2bto2blearn2021-01-15T22:04:57+00:00monthlyhttps://genderworld.org/2021/01/08/when-forms-ask-for-sex-gender-whats-a-trans-woman-to-do/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/womanquestions-1451409861.jpgwomanquestions-14514098612021-01-05T20:45:23+00:00monthlyhttps://genderworld.org/2020/12/04/elliot-page/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/elliot-page.jpegElliot

The figures face each other, looking forlornly at the other (opposite-sex bodied), touching hands in the middle as though separated by a pane of glass (think of a prisoner separated from their love at the end of a visit - touching the glass at the same place as if trying to hold hands). This tries to communicate the longing which can come in when feeling dysphoria - longing for the body/parts you don't have.2017-02-08T22:25:00+00:00monthlyhttps://genderworld.org/images-i-like/comics/life-of-bria/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/trans-women-in-bathrooms.jpgtrans-women-in-bathroomsThere's another argument down the toilet.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/i-liked-the-man-i-used-to-be.pngi-liked-the-man-i-used-to-beWow! How beautiful. I've had similar thoughts and feelings (especially the wish to be able to split into two people, and the sense that I have the souls of both genders in one body). The last panel in this comic gives me a lot of hope - that the changes I'm going through will result in the best version of me, and that I will be able to overcome the sadness and misery I'd carried for most of my life.2017-02-08T20:14:19+00:00weekly0.6https://genderworld.org/images-i-like/comics/validation/2017-02-08T19:40:03+00:00weekly0.6https://genderworld.org/images-i-like/comics/trans-girl-next-door/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/tumblr_o792y4qgex1sidfiqo1_1280.jpgtumblr_o792y4qgex1sidfiqo1_1280Self-doubt is such a large part of my life now. When my dysphoria is low, I doubt myself for feeling anything other than my assigned gender. When it is high, I doubt my ability to ever feel ok with myself. I'm always doubting the ways that I'm working to understand and come to terms with myself. And I usually recognize those doubting thoughts as irrational, but it doesn't make them go away or lessen their impact on me.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/trans-girl-next-door.pngtrans-girl-next-doorThis one is specific to pre-op/non-op trans women. These ladies have a certain, ahem, elephant trunk-resembling body part. A common way to hide this part is to "tuck" it inbetween their legs (pointing backwards). The trans woman in this comic visualizes the way the thong would fit with this body part and realizes how uncomfortable it would be.2017-02-08T19:08:32+00:00weekly0.6https://genderworld.org/images-i-like/comics/up-and-out/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/swimming.pngswimmingOuch! I have experienced this many times. Because people tend to be scantily clad at a pool or beach, it's hard to ignore the obvious differences between how you feel your body should be and how your body is.https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/journal.pngjournalAs a daily journalist, I sometimes go back and look at my old entries and wonder at the progress I've made. I'm now around 10 months since my realization, and I can't imagine going back to the way I was before. In some ways, I am happier now, because I am finally addressing something that has eaten at me my whole life. But in other ways, I'm a bigger mess than I've ever been before, because I sometimes feel like my life has gotten so confusing, and for every question I find an answer to, three more questions pop up.2017-02-08T18:43:54+00:00weekly0.6https://genderworld.org/images-i-like/comics/translucid/2017-02-08T18:33:03+00:00weekly0.6https://genderworld.org/2017/01/27/depression/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/n-depression-large570.jpgn-depression-large570https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/6a01a51163b55a970c01bb082aefaa970d.jpg6a01a51163b55a970c01bb082aefaa970d2017-02-18T11:44:32+00:00monthlyhttps://genderworld.org/2017/01/06/passing-lane-ahead/https://genderworld.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/bi-magazine-tranny-bathroom.jpgbi-magazine-tranny-bathroomThis is some people's reality.
