#gender-variant

Say a service-providing organisation’s mandate says that it serves “women and gender-variant people”... who does that include (or exclude)? 

It seems like that’s saying trans and cis women are welcome (at least in name-- organisational practices don’t always live up to their claims)

But I’m wondering more about who else that might be communicating about as welcome (or not)

(And what sort of connotations or implications does “gender-variant” carry in the real-world?)

For some context, “gender-variant” is a term I see less often in a service-provision context than before and feels very 2006. But I also think it carries some advantages over phrases like “gender non-conforming” or using non-binary and genderqueer as umbrellas, or even trying to list specific identities.)

Description :

This comprehensive book provides you with a clinical and theoretical overview of the issues facing transgendered/transsexual people and their families. Transgender Emergence: Therapeutic Guidelines for Working with Gender-Variant People and Their Families views assessment and treatment through a nonpathologizing lens that honors human diversity and acknowledges the role of oppression in the developmental process of gender identity formation.

Specific sections of Transgender Emergence: Therapeutic Guidelines for Working with Gender-Variant People and Their Families address the needs of gender-variant people as well as transgender children and youth. The issues facing gender-variant populations who have not been the focus of clinical care, such as intersexed people, female-to-male transgendered people, and those who identify as bigendered, are also addressed.

The book examines:

the six stages of transgender emergence

coming out transgendered as a normative process of gender identity development

thinking outside the box in the deconstruction of sex and gender

the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as the convergence, overlap, and integration of these parts of the self

the power of personal narrative in gender identity development

etiology and typographies of transgenderism

treatment models that emerge from various clinical perspectives

alternative treatment modalities based on gender variance as a normative lifecycle developmental process

Complete with fascinating case studies, a critique of diagnostic processes, treatment recommendations, and a helpful glossary of relevant terms, this book is an essential reference for anyone who works with gender-variant people. Handy tables and figures make the information easier to access and understand.

An asexual must always open the door for a pansexual.

Trans* men must always assist genderqueers with their luggage if there are no airport personnel available to help.

A high femme must do battle for any androsexual in peril from dragon or Frenchman.

The traditional age for taking up the sigil of gender anarchy and door-opening is seventeen, after four years of apprenticeship under a non-monogendered Master.

Heterosexual cisgender men are the daintiest treasure of all in Gender-Variant Chivalry. They must be delicately swaddled in linens and samite and carefully carried from castle to castle.

All soft butches must be trained in the use of the quarterstaff in close-quarters combat.

Trans* women wear pointy princess hats and feed the poor and lean out of windows calling for bold knights to do brave deeds, unless they don’t feel like it, in which case they can do something else.

Drag kings must swear before their people to protect the weak and defenseless, to give succour to widowers and orphans, to refrain from the wanton giving of offense, to live by honor and for glory, and to perform one Tom Jones song a month.

A queer boi must always stand whenever a bisexual enters the room.

Lipstick lesbians should offer their seat on public transportation to any polyamorous triads.

I think the post you're referring to is the "asexual dictionary" maybe?

yes skoliosexual is a word used when describing that you are only (or mostly) attracted to gender-variant people, meaning all kinds of trans* or nonbinary people.

I don't have any links to show you but I guess if you ask around in the trans* community they can show you more, or maybe do some research online by yourself?
