Bleeding Profoundly

I am; a parent, a trans man, a polyamorous pansexual, married to a man, in love, living with chronic pain and fatigue, fighting depression and anxiety, an insomniac, an artist, a dreamer, looking for happiness, a feminist, an amateur philosopher, politically active and aware, interested in serious debates about any and all serious topics, following my own code of honor, otherkin, honest, thinking of baking something, a lazy poster, extremely tired, a fan of facts and information in general, and about a thousand other things...

High Court rules in in favour of Western Australian trans men

Reblogged from trans-terrific-deactivated20121

This is amazing! Amazing amazing amazing! I’m so unbelievably happy to hear this. I wrote a couple of massive posts on it - here and here - back when all the drama first started happening, and it’s so great that it’s finally worked out in their favour.

What it doesn’t say in the article is that not only was Christian Porter originally fighting against the two guys in question being recognised as legally male; he and his lawyer were actually also fighting to change the laws to make it even more difficult for trans men to get their sex markers changed. In challenging their case, he was arguing that not only should trans men require top surgery and a hysterectomy, but that some form of “penile construction surgery” should be mandatory as well.

If he’d gotten his way, he would have set legal precedent that basically forced trans men to get bottom surgery if we wanted our gender identity legally recognised. And now it’s worked in the opposite direction - this case should set a precedent that only top surgery, and no hysterectomy, is necessary!

Writing a Play on Asexuality

Reblogged from quidditchisjustagame-deactivate

Hey gang, so, for my Playwrighting class, I want my final project to be a short play on a man who is discovering that he might be a heteromantic asexual, and in a relationship with his sexual girlfriend. However, although I cannot explore asexuality completely, I want to at least have a diverse range of aces, demis, gray-as, homo/hetero romantics, to show the complexity of our community.

Here’s where YOU, my fellow aces, or folks who have friendships/relationships with aces, can help me.

I want the internet to be a part of this show, as it is the primary arena where we can connect, and I want to have a few ace characters (maybe three or four) to be people in an asexuality chat room that my protagonist finds in order to find out more about asexuality.

So, if you have any experiences with the ace community on the internet, or experiences with loved ones, doctors, or others that you would like to share, please message me, and I will give you a few open questions that you can answer at your discretion.
