How To: Tucking MtF (by violet4151)
I wanted to share this because it was a complete game changer for me. I’ve been tucking for a while, but I kept having allergic reactions to the tape. I tried a bunch of different kinds and always ended up with problems. I found this video and made a gaff as described and I’m now happily smooth and tape free.
She explains taping first, so jump ahead to the 4:20 mark for the stuff I’m talking about.
Just trying to share the love. =)
Plus, Violet is so cute. She seems so uncomfortable about the subject which means she deserves so much more credit for being brave enough to put it out there.
This is something I can’t personally help you with (having no experience with it…) but here’s a great resource!

… and he does not know how to relate to me until he can understand what gender I am.
Testosterone: 1 year
On January 7 2012 I started Testosterone, and January 5 2013 was my last shot. The reason I stopped T this time was because of my hysterectomy.
Back in January, I stopped T for 3 months. I’ve been back on since April 1st, ramping up with a very low dose. It was interesting to see the changes while off of T for a longer period.
The realm between
The past 10 years has seen the rise of a growing transgender community of people who do not identify strictly as male or female.
Excellent article about genderqueer / nonbinary people.
How does Coyote want to be referred for this story? “An artist. Author of 10 books. An activist with youth. A human being. A musician. I’m so many more things than my gender and so much more than someone who doesn’t fit into a gender box.”

Ziegler adds: “It’s not about choosing, it’s about self-acceptance, and I realized I operated outside of the binary system.”
Non-Binary Gender Terms Across Languages
gqid:
Although there are many English-language resources and glossaries about transgender, genderqueer, and non-binary terms, there are not as many in other languages. I have begun a few pages at the Non-Binary Wiki, which anyone can edit, to list terms and their meanings in a few languages:
Glossary of Chinese gender and sex terminology
Glossary of Japanese gender and sex terminology
Glossary of Korean gender and sex terminology
More will be added - these were created as just a start to this project and anyone is welcome to create further language pages or edit the ones that already exist to add new terms, citations of sources, or correct any errors. I am focusing on collecting terms related to non-binary gender identity, although general gender and sex terms can also be added to these glossaries. I am very excited about this project!

Binder review-3rd Gen. Velcro Short Binder from Lesloveboat
I will be reviewing this binder. You can find it at this link.
Price: $60.80 US dollars
For your reference I am 5’ and a 32 BBuild:
The binder is attached with velcro, and it allows for a varied amount of binding. I quite like this feature as it allows me to have control over my binding.
It is has two layers, one is black and one is grey. The grey one is on the in side of the binder and is in contact with skin and the black one is on the outside and is not. The grey fabric is sort of felt-y, it does not make my skin itch and it whisks away moisture. I really like this, it was a huge step up from a sports bra as the sports bra left rashes from the built up moisture and then irritated the rashes. This is much better.
The back of the binder is made from a really light mess, it also does not itch. The fabric does not pull on your back at all. I don’t feel it at all after putting it on.
Binder-ing:
From front on the binder does pretty well. It smoothes out the chest area in a way that does not attract attention.
From the side it flattens wonderfully for me. To achieve that result I would have to wear 3 or 4 sports bras, which was practically suffocating. The binder is not suffocating.
When I am wearing a shirt it barely looks like I am wearing a binder.
Complaints:
While I am pretty much in love with this binder it does have faults as all things tend to have.I tend to not put very much time into getting dressed in the morning and as a result of that this occurs. If you place the velcro on and it does not line up there is velcro touching your skin. This can cause irritation but it can be prevented if you do not get dressed in the dark in 5 min. The velcro also curls in when it is pulled on on so it can be sometimes seen through a light tee shirt.
My other complaint is that the straps were too large. I had to cut them and sew them to size. Granted I am tiny but it was a little annoying.
Over all:
I am very comfortable in this binder, it is not suffocating or anything. It does not make my skin itch or anything.
Yeah.
I would recommend it to people who are of a slightly smaller chest as I am almost too big for the binder to work perfectly. It was expensive but I have already thrown it in the wash on normal settings and it was fine.
It ships in a discrete blue package that says lesloveboat shop on it once.

Informed Consent for Access to Trans Health
This was sent to us anonymously and looks like an excellent source on informed consent to share with any medical professionals you’re working with to explain what informed consent is and what it looks like as a standard of care for trans* health.

A very cool and open discussion about being intersex, being non-binary in gender from an intersex individual who identifies their gender as “neuter”.

Wow, really really cool. I <3 Toby. All the right answers to all the common questions non-binary / neutrois / genderless / asexual people get.
“You don’t want to change sex, or you can’t? Because anybody can get a sex change. So why don’t you?”
“How do you define romantic [relationship]?”
“We live together, we sleep together. We hug and cuddle a lot.”
