Rebloging this again cause it only has like 180 notes but the “Men have Vagina’s” has almost 1,700 notes. WTF?? What about us girls?
Please Love & Support ALL trans people! Us girls matter too & we get a lot more hate & hate crimes against us, so please remember, all of us struggle.
p.s. This is NOT a stab at trans men, I LOVE & RESPECT TRANS MEN & have rebloged the other one myself.
Just pointing out the deference in the way people treat & support us.
Thanks, I love you ALL! <3

Hello again. I’ve submitted here before. But there has been progress since then. I came out to my family in January. They took it… ok. Things have kind of exploded since then. My sister asked my parents about me and they told her the truth outing me to her. Then it was my grandparents. On the plus side. I dont have much family left to come out to. At this point everyone is going to find out sooner or later. I’d rather be myself and not worry about it. The plan now is to come out publicly this October. =)
I blog at queerkristina.wordpress.com and queerkristina.tumblr.com

my fuck yeah cute trans chick’s post =)
this must mean my submission to Fuck Yeah Cute Trans Chicks was posted. =) yay
let’s be honest. when you say pansexual you mean everybody execpt for trans women. when you say bisexual you mean everybody except for trans women. when you say lesbian you mean cis women, not trans women. that is the cotton ceiling. the fact that we are shamed, we are considered disgusting, we are freaks, we are undesirable in queer sex circles when it comes to attraction. we are deemed unattractive. that’s we are righting. we do not want to rape you. we want to be told we are desirable. that we are attractive. the same thing most of my cisgender women want. do us the same favor, please.
This whole debate has made me really uncomfortable. It’s made me very pissed off. It’s made me feel really shitty about myself.
Here is what I’m thinking about the whole debate.
The reaction to the whole Idea of the cotton ceiling from the radfem community is a based on a discussion of coerced sex, mainly penetration. The majority of radfem responses I’ve run into have been entirely based on the fact that they do not want to be forced to have sex with a penis, to be penetrated by a penis.
Here’s the thing. Honestly, as a trans woman who identifies as a lesbian with some bisexual tendencies… I don’t want to penetrate you with the equipment I possess. I do not want to engage in sex the way a straight male would interact with a woman. You want to know why? Because I’m not a man. I LOTHE penetration. It’s probably my least favorite thing about sex. I’d rather strap on a dildo, and go to town that way. I’d rather go down on you for hours. I’d rather finger you until the cows come home. I’d rather do anything else sexually with you than put my falice inside you, and especially with your consent. In fact, at the next available opportunity I’d like a surgeon to remove it and set me up with what I know I’m supposed to have.
The response by the radfem community has reduced trans women to their body parts. You are doing exactly what straight men are doing. You are reducing an entire group into a body part. You are also reducing an entire complex community into pre-/non- operative trans women. What about post operative trans women who now have a female body? And how do you treat trans men. You support them and supposedly view them as men, but do not have the same respect for trans women. That is some internalized misogyny right there.
Here’s the thing. I don’t want to rape you. I don’t want to rape anybody. I don’t want to do anything without your consent.
Here is what I want: I want you to want to be with trans women. And you know what that requires: Viewing me as women. Viewing me as female. I want to treated as equal in an intimate relationship. I don’t want you to view me as a man. I just want you to respect us, our identities, regardless of the bodies and or identities we ourselves were coerced into at birth. Much the same way that you were born into a world full of patriarchy, I was born into a world in which I was assigned male, even though in reality I am NOTHING like a male. I’m doing the best with my circumstances here. Just like you are.
I’d also like to know what you do with interest people? What about people who have a penis, but are XXY? What about people who are androgen insensitive? What about all of that? You cannot seriously define them as men? as male? can you?
Radfems, you’ve made me feel like shit this week. Complete and utter shit. You know who does that? People who are unaware of their own privilege. This just makes me sick. I’m going to go curl up in a ball in the shower and cry myself to sleep.
this was a rant/ourpouring of feels. It problally docent make sense.
NOTE: I don’t speak for all trans women. Only for myself. <3
thanks for erasing me babe.
this feels just great.
my girlfriend told me she “needs some time to figure things out” and that “she wants to take a break.”
then she goes posting on social networks how it was the “worst. night. ever.”
You’re the one who told me you wanted a break. not me. you don’t get to wine about this. you chose this.
lets just say theres a reason why this was one of my favorite musical films and scenes growing up. =)
there are pictures of me o n my Facebook.

Sabelo Mlangeni, Iduku 2007
Black Men in Dress comprises a series of portraits photographed at the Johannesburg and Soweto Pride, a yearly event for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) community. These portraits remind Mlangeni of a childhood where, as he describes:
[M]ost communities had what we call ‘uSis’bhuti’. This is a term used to describe a boy who behaves like a girl. Why then do we hate these boys when they have grown up to be men who dress as women? Why do we turn and call them names, pretending that we’ve never seen it? These are some of the issues I try to bring to the fore in this series.
As in Mlangeni’s previous series Country Girls, a dramatic sense of fashion and a performative and playful manner is explored by gay men to engage with their sense of belonging and identity.
