Misgendering: How to Deal With It
It is probably safe to say that all trans* people have felt uncomfortable at some point after being misgendered, that is to say, having someone use to wrong pronouns or refer you as a different gender than the gender you identity as.
So what do to when your family misgenders you?
So you’ve come out to your family! That’s awesome. Except they are having a problem with switching the...

I've already developed them, and they're around... 36A I think... so, I was wondering if you or someone...

This list isn’t as big as it should be, because unfortunately there isn’t a lot of help out there for parents, siblings, children and other family members of trans* people. However this list is always growing and will be updated whenever new information is found/created. Family members of Trans* people go through a different type of transition when their child begins to transition,...

Hey! :)
So I came across this Tumblr yesterday and noticed a post asking for intros to connect with other teens, so hello :)
I’m Li, born Lisa, also known as Levi. Genderfluid explains me pretty well. I have a person who goes by many names who I care for deeply. Their gender situation is similar to mine.
Came out a few months ago, and my mom seems to be coming around (don’t see my dad much...

I'm fine with everyone in my life right now perceiving me as female because I don't want to go through the hassle of explaining myself time and time again, but if people ask there I'll feel like I'm lying to them if I say...

MtF Hormones - What you need to know
Some MtF people will choose to go on hormones, the common hormone used for people transitioning from Male to Female is Estrogen. It is good to get some background information on whether or not you want to take Estrogen. Of coarse this isn’t going to tell you everything but hopefully it will give you a bit of a better idea if taking hormones is something you want to pursue.

Anonymous asked: Hello, this might be a stupid question, but I'd like some help on this. How can one make sure what they want? As in, which gender they want to be? Do they just try everything and see what makes them feel the best about themselves? What if they like a little of everything? Thanks!

FtM Hormones - What you need to know
Many FtM people will choose to take Testosterone, also referred to as T. There are many different things that testosterone does to a person’s body and before deciding if taking T is right for you, research should be done. Of coarse I am not a medical professional but learning a bit about what hormones can and can not do for you might help you decide if it’s a path you wish to pursue.

@ the anon who is trying to lower their voice, I have a suggestion, one that I use. Lower your voice (only a bit or you will strain your vocal cords too much and damage them) and then say ‘ding dong, king kong, ping pong’. Hold the last letters out as long as you can in one breath. Twice a day. It sounds stupid, and I don’t remember where I read it,...

Transitioning in High School
Transitioning in High School (or middle school) can be extremely difficult. Many trans* youth wish to switch schools in order to be seen as their true gender. However that is not something that a youth might not want to do, which is fine, and for other people switching school’s in not an option. So what steps should you take when wanting to transition at school?
Talk to your parents - If...
