Anybody seen this piece about the parents who are raising their new baby without disclosing his or her gender? Thoughts?
-
I think its wrong to impose anything on a child. Anyone who has had kids, especially from birth, knows that a child automaticly knows what it likes and what it wants. and I don’t push anything on my kids. They both got the same gender neutral winnie the pooh crib set. But having a child carry the wieght of your beliefs in my opinion is just sick.…[Read more]

Hmm. The parents were pretty clear that they’re not trying to make the KID hide his/her gender — they’re just not allowing other people to project all their own stuff onto the kid in the meantime. Barring language delays, the kid will be verbal enough to go around announcing it in the 2-3 age range. So we’re talking a really limited period of…[Read more]

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoSo I followed novastar’s suggestion for the avatar change- sorry about the quality but it’s really the best I could get it to look on autostraddle for some reason. I’m conscious, as a cisgender person, of not wanting to appropriate imagery which is associated with the trans* community and that’s absolutely not my intention. What is very much my…[Read more]

I loved Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinburg, because of its historical and personal significance to the author and the glbt rights movement. It’s a genuine story that I related to a lot, but also has some very sad and angering moments. I think everyone needs to read this book, because as much as it would resonate with gay and trans people I think…[Read more]

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve been meaning to read Stone Butch Blues for ages now and this only moves it further up my list- I’ll have to suggest it to my queer reading group :)

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 5 months agoA new batch of awesome videos were just uploaded to the Reel Grrls channel on YouTube. One of them is all about gender: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dA1awHKzsU&feature=channel_video_title
is cool.-
also this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prGBfYXe9x8 . It’s about gender, but it is definitely hilarious and relevant to your interests.
-
whoops, it’s *not about gender.
-
-
These are both great, thanks! And yeah the second one is really funny and definitely relevant to my interests at least.

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 5 months agoHey everyone, hope your day/evening/night is going well. Just to say if anyone has any suggestions for changing the group avatar feel free to give them in the comments. Personally, I’m getting a little bored of the default right now but let me know what you think. From my own perspective I’d like to avoid anything that suggests the…[Read more]
