Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 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 have two standard answers for this depending on my mood.
1. Are you hitting on me?
2. Dont worry , we won’t be having sex.-
Ha! Good ones.

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. Unfortunately the only response I’ve come up with is to put my head down, make myself as small as possible and keep walking. So I’m no help…[Read more]

If you feel threatened, just ignore them/walk away. No sense trying to educate the belligerent. In a safe situation, I have used a few times: “I am both and neither, and like it that way”
I haven’t gotten into any fights so far :) Worst response I’ve gotten is a Deer In Headlights Look which made me chuckle.
I often just say “Nope, I’m a…[Read more]

I usually go with “are you a bigoted asshole or just an idiot?” It may not be the most appropriate response, but it works for me!

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoI was told that my plans for a fauxhawk were “too boyish.”
The only way to express my feelings at this statement looks kind of like this: GJDSALKGJDAKLGJSRVQDQQRRGEGRE
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.

Aaargh, i wish i could sleep. About 5-6 weeks ago i’ve started to suffer from insomnia, it was pretty hardcore because i would just not sleep at all and then get up at 6 am to start my day. I’ve got exams now so i have to study all day, but if i don’t sleep i’m to tired. (I know people think the insomnia is related to stress for the exams that…[Read more]

I usually stay up later when I’m stressed. I feel like I’ve got to get everything done, but really all I do is write a very organized to-do list that involves many drafts and scribbles and planning, and then I feel secure about my tomorrow, which, by the time this list is done, has basically already arrived. I then zombie my way through the day,…[Read more]

Our school does a thing after graduation every year where everybody is invited to Sober Grad, so as to not kill ourselves, and we’re in a lock-in from after the ceremonies until 5 AM. Everybody else was passing out, but due to my conditioning, I was dominating that mechanical bull until I was let out.
