This is possible.

If your transition goal is to have a complete removal of all your internal and external genitalia, there is a real surgery that people get to do that. It’s called genital nullification.

It’s also called nullectomy or nullo.

It’s not a very new or super complicated surgery. Everything is taken out/taken off and you’re left with just a hole for your urethra (where you urinate out of). The urethra may be moved as part of surgery. If you research the procedure you’ll also probably hear them talk about urethral shortening, because nullification is mostly done on cis men/transfems/nonbinary patients who require a penectomy as part of the surgery.

Now don’t get this for an aesthetic or because you like how dolls look. It takes 6-8 weeks of recovery and is as serious a decision as any other bottom surgery. More info is here and here. This website has some info and pictures (graphic warning) of nullification along with phallus-preserving vaginoplasty, another nonbinary surgery.

If you can, try to contact the organisers of these protests with information about how these rulings affect (and have effected) nonbinary people in the past and how it is just as detrimental to the nonbinary community as well as trans women (and trans men for that matter. This court ruling has misgendered them as women). You could try email, SMS, or even on a public platform like Twitter. I personally have been emailing. Speaking out creates change.

The national data from the England and Wales census of about 59.5 million people has been released for the question about gender identity, counting the number of trans people in that population.

Summary:

People were asked “Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?”, and had the option of selecting either “Yes”, or selecting “No” and writing in their gender identity.

6% didn’t answer the question.

- 118,000 (0.24%) answered “No” but did not provide a write-in response

- 48,000 (0.10%) identified as a trans man

- 48,000 (0.10%) identified as a trans woman

- 30,000 (0.06%) identified as non-binary

- 18,000 (0.04%) wrote in a different gender identity

A total of 262,000 people (0.5%) answered “No”, indicating that their gender identity was different from their sex registered at birth. Within this group:

That’s as many “nonbinary” and “other” answers combined as trans men or trans women! I’m assuming a lot of the non-cis blank textbox people are nonbinary or similar, too?

► What is Bigender? “Bigender, bi-gender, or sometimes dual-gender/dual-gendered, is a gender identity under the multigender, nonbinary, and transgender umbrella terms. Bigender people have two [or more] different specific gender identities, either at the same time, or at different times.” When there is no fluidity or shifting between the genders, it is called ambigender.

There is an organization based in Atlanta that is designed to help homeless trans people in the Atlanta area.

Please reblog this to spread word. Pride month is coming up and I want this to get boosted so those who need it can see it

so I’m linking this article that explores the same sentiment, how a queer person who was scared of cemeteries came appreciate the love and humanity of them through the lens of preserving Black history

and now some resources for protecting trans identities in death:

this video by Order of the Good Death which talks about how trans peeps (or anyone really) can ensure their wishes (including to be gendered and named correctly in death) are carried out

this website called Cake that helps you organize the shit you need to make sure the person you want to handle your death affairs has the legal power to do so and your wishes are legally documented

and on a more positive note,

this website translifeline that provides trans peer support and has a million resources for living your best trans life

this article about a cute Australian mouse species that was declared extinct 100 years ago but has actually been chilling on an island this whole time (because all of this death stuff can be a lil depressing tbh)
