Transitioning to relieve dysphoria is NOT. CISNORMATIVE. It is NOT a statement that all trans people “need to look cis”. If you care more about that than helping alleviate dysphoric people of their dysphoria, you need to ask yourself why that is.

So my husband had top surgery a while ago and we are now giving away his old binders from GC2B. They are all tank model and two of them are in very good condition, the third one has some miscolorations but works fine. I’ll try to get it as clean as humanly possible.

Binder 1 is a dark grey size 2x (TAKEN)

Binder 2 is a ”nude no 3” size 3x

Binder 3 is a white size 2x (TAKEN)

I would prefer to give them to someone in Sweden, but I can also ship anywhere if you can pay for shipping. We are really broke at the moment so I’m afraid I can’t afford international shipping. The binders are FREE though. However, please don’t ask for a binder unless you are not dysphoric. We want to give these to people that really really need them and not for any other purpose than alleviating dysphoria.

Make sure to check your size at gc2b first, as the sizes are a bit different from regular sizing. You can check ot out here:

For my fellow transsexuals (those of us who transition from being generally viewed as one sex to the other), I stumbled across this here article suggesting we take our leave from the LGBT community.

It’s written by a transsexual as well, so this isn’t the ordinary run of the mill TERFy bullshit. And some decent point were made imho.

As the situation is right now I can’t see the any point in being in the community, mostly because these views are not welcome and the concerns of transsexual people are ridiculed by ”non-dysphorics” or other groups that have issues with gender roles and not their sex.

Due to the overwhelming amount of patients seeking care for gender dysphoria one Swedish hospital now has a complete stop in their intake of patients, so if you live in proximity to that hospital there is no way for you to start hormonal treatment as they do not refer you to another region. People pick and choose what effects they want from hormones and surgery, making the medical treatment look like cosmetic choices more than a necessity to be able to stay alive. I personally have no interest in being in a community that diminishes the struggles of the sex dysphoric person as well as uses resources they do not really need.

if youre really fucking lost, ask their name, or just guess by by how they present. the worst that can happen is you get corrected and you can be respectful about it. these are basic social conventions that should be left unsaid.

Come take part in my research! 

This is a new component of my research, looking into the well-being of transgender people.

Anyone aged 18 and over can take it, it will last about 20-30 minutes, and information about what is included is on the first page of the survey. 

I don’t think you should feel miserable if you don’t look 110% like a cis person. You aren’t cis. I know, it sounds bad, but you aren’t, and that’s okay. Your bodies don’t naturally make stuff that creates feminine/masculine figures. It’s bode structures, natural hormones, etc, are not the same of a cis person, and especially not from birth, and usually not until you’re at least a teen(when you can take hormones). So, you could take T for years and still be shorter or of a smaller stature or have a slower metabolism or whatever it may be than a cis guy. Same with the ladies. You might take estrogen for years and have a deeper voice naturally or not be as curvaceous or be taller or not have fuller lips when you compare yourselves to cis women. It’s okay, and I don’t think there’s anything you can do about(at least half) of these things, especially without paying far more than most people can afford.
