The Ol' Panny-Tranny

Here are a handful of uneducated stereotypes that I have heard about mostly lesbians or trans guys that I do not fit -I don't like sports. -I don't hang out with a group of only gay or trans friends. -I do not hate my dad. -By extension, I do not hate men or women as a gender. -Can't figure out the problem with my car by looking under the hood. -I do not condemn "traditional families" -I don't go to church and pray that God will forgive me for being "gay" -I am not a feminist. -I am not faking my deep voice -I don't grab my crotch or swagger when I walk to appear more masculine That is just some of them.

How did I get to be so progressive when I was raised by people that don't "get" so many things? The way I see it, it isn't for us to "get" why people do and feel how they do. It is for us to step aside and let people do what makes them happy, so long as they are not bringing misery to others. It is not our business. It should be no one's choice to "allow" gays to marry. We are adults, we should have that right to love without regard to things that do not matter. We tolerate a lot of bullshit, why not tolerate the right kind of freedom?

Anyone want to help out my same-sex friends? They want to start a family.

My area...within an hour and a half has a ton of resources for someone like me. I'm happy about that and a little less scared about the problems I may run into. I saw a post about a trans dad that lost custody of his kid just for being trans. Scared the hell out of me, as a parent, that would be the worst.

Wow.

The other day, my wife called me her 'handsome man'. Even though I do not identify as a man completely, this tiny thing made me feel so much better than being called 'pretty'.

Except I have not gotten the wife onboard with letting me grow a big ol’ beard. :)

Is it really this simple? Even though I do not necessarily want to change my pronoun or have bottom surgery, does being non-binary technically make me transgender? I am asking as respectfully as I can.

I got a 997 from Underworks. I heard good things about them, and it seems to work exponentially better than a tight sports bra.I can breathe just fine, but sitting down slouched is almost impossible. I had a 35.5 inch chest and this badboy took me down to a 32. Better than what I expected. As you can see, I’m wearing a tight shirt and I have my arms up and I still barely show. In a tshirt, I am pretty flat.

This is 1 of many more posts involving my transformation.

This is a really in-depth description of Gender and Sexual minorities. It covers the fields of LGBT, gender identities, and more. Long, but worth the viewing.
