People point out the dreadful John/Joan case, (dr. Money did do useful research in his time too, but, ew) and somehow frame it as evidence against trans people. Absurd, since the results are actually proof, that neither sex & biological factors, nor the environment (upbringing, social roles etc.) affect our gender -just the extend to which we're comfortable expressing & discussing it. Poor David was a boy. He didn't turn into a girl, despite the sex reassignment surgeries, and being shoved into the feminine mold by his social surroundings. Which made him extremely uncomfortable. (I won't go into details, the life of the Reimer twins was a tragedy, but do read up, if you're interested.)
I've heard some extreme people claim we're 'making people (think they're) trans', or encouraging children to have surgery. I've never heard this happen, but it exists in these people's minds. I would agree; it's a terrible idea to actively try & change someone's gender experience. We shouldn't be messing with children's healthy genitals. No one should be forced to abide by gender roles. Thing is, that's exactly what the world is currently doing to many trans & intersex (as well as cis) kids. I wish the general public would understand how crucial this is.

My website got a full makeover this summer. It’s now running again, (under a new address, so make sure to get it right) The shop is closed & will stay that way, until the medieval festival is over. I apologize for any inconveniences.

Kertokaa kokemuksia, vinkkejä & faktatietoa Suomen kunnissa asumisesta. Millanen kirjasto, pärjääkö autottomana, kannattaako pyrkiä lääkäriin, onko ok fiilis käppäillä päämäärättömästi/vaan hengailla ulkona ym. oleellista :3
Kuulun sateenkaarivähemmistöön, enkä puhu mitenkään erityisen hyvää ruotsia, tai venäjää. Arvostan hyvää ruokaa, ja oon kulttuurin ystävä, (raskaampi musiikki, teatteri, historialliset tapahtumat/näyttelyt erityisesti) paitsi että aika rahaton. Plussaa kelvollisesta rannasta.
Ois myös kiinnostusta palata jonkin harrastuksen pariin, tai aloittaa uusi, jos 'aikuisille' nyt mitään sellaisia ryhmiä edes on. Ensisijaisesti näyttämötaiteet ja jousiammunta.
Lahteen en muuta
