Unsettling Ideologies

the administration has determined that the designation of “sex” in Title IX protections also includes gender identity, which means that if public schools don’t comply with these protections, they lose federal funding

transgender students are only required to have their parent or guardian contact the school district to notify them that their identity differs from what is previously on record

these students do not need to provide a medical diagnosis, identification documents, or any other information regarding their transition

transgender students must be accommodated even when it makes others students uncomfortable

transgender students can be offered the use of single stall restrooms, but if other students are not required to use them, then they aren’t required, either, and specifically mentions that if a student is uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a transgender person they can be offered a single stall restroom

Just in case anyone is confused, Obama himself did not write this. Under the purview of the Obama Administration, the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights co-wrote this.

A few weeks ago, I broke my ankle. My options were either to let it heal on its own, and limp permanently, or to get a complex set of permanent metal implants.

As I signed the consent forms, I was scared and bawling my eyes out. After the surgery, I cried and screamed and the pain was unbearable.

Not one person questioned my decision to go through with the surgery, because it was understood I would not want a limp for the rest of my life. My emotions never brought my consent into question.

So why is it that my emotions about a medical process were respected and separate from my choice when it was a limp for the rest of my life, but if a woman has emotions tied to a medical procedure and doesn’t want a baby for the rest of her life, or the high medical risks of pregnancy, it’s grounds to question the validity of her choice?

Hey! 

So as my transistion fundraiser draws to an end. I’d like to make a new post asking for material help rather than financial.

I am a trans demi-girl and femme. I am currently unemployed, as well as being autistic and phyisically disabled.Both of which affect my ability to find a job.

I have been openly transistioning for the last year, and plan this year on making aapointments with the GIC and begining the steps to medically transition.

I currently have a lack of the following:

Feminine clothes for day to day

Feminine accessories

Makeup that is within it’s use by date (nearly all of my makeup is out of date, and I keep breaking out as a result)

Bras and underwear

Gaffes for tucking

and hygeine products such as Veet cream, moisturiser and the like.

I am a UK SIZE 18, SIZE 7 SHOES AND A XL

I do not have day to day femminine clothing and it is seriously hampering my abilities to pass

Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers who do not share her ways or respect her customs.

Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. Oomza University has wronged the Meduse, and Binti’s stellar travel will bring her within their deadly reach.
