Genderstraddlers 12 years, 3 months agoHey, I just commented this on Annika and Sebastian’s recent post, but maybe y’all have some ideas: What do you think is the best way to respond to transphobic harassment? I’m butch/genderqueer and have heard “are you a guy” or “is that a boy or a girl” from strangers several times, and I always struggle with how or if to respond.…[Read more]

I often wish I had a better way of dealing with harassment. Although I’m subjected more to “general” street harassment and all-round skeevy sexual inappropriateness than anything specifically transphobic.

It comes from pounding my fists on the keyboard in a clackity expresson of rage which I cannot verbalize. Efforts to verbalize it sound similar to a phonetic pronunciation of the…[Read more]

Fuck that shit! Get your hair did whatever way you want! Plus, I just cut mine in a “boyish” style and all I’ve gotten since have been compliments…mostly because *I* feel great about how I look now and confidence totally shows to others.
(Although, that said, I waited until AFTER the big reunion with the conservative heterosexist Southern…[Read more]

I agree with bookbound. Plus if you decide to go for the fauxhawk I am pretty much 100% certain that it will look awesome (because fauxhawks generally are pretty awesome).

I did iiiiit. It is amazing. I can either be sexy or pretend to be a velociraptor, and those are the two things on my haircut checksheet.
