Criticisms and Misconceptions From People Who Just Don’t Know What They’re Talking About

Posted on May 8, 2013 by

Reblogged from Trans*forming Family:

I’ve had this blog for about fourteen months, and during that time have considered myself fortunate to have received very few negative comments or emails regarding my decisions about my transgender child. I also rarely check my blog stats, and at any given time could not even tell you how many followers i have (although my son occasionally updates me). I find it easier to imagine that i’m just writing to those of you who regularly comment and to those few whom i’ve shared this blog with who know me personally than the overwhelming and intimidating thought that any and every human connected to the internet can read what i write here.

Haters are gonna hate, but this mother of a FTM trans kid warms my heart with responding to self-identified RadFem (TERF) rants about how she's an evil pawn of a patriarchy conspiracy that's hell-bent on a butch lesbian genocide via forced FTM transition. Hope everyone is has a wonderful Wednesday! XoXo Valerie

Love is All You Need? Full Length movie

Posted on April 25, 2013 by

 

“Imagine a world where “gay” was “straight” and “straight” was “gay”…How Would You Live If You Couldn’t Love? 19 film festival awards with Lexi DiBenedetto bringing a best actress performance at the Sonoma International Film Festival. This film delivers life of those who are ridiculed, teased and bullied for being themselves. Feel the sting by writers who lived life being teased for being different. No gimmicky cliches, just raw emotion of living the live of a heterosexual in a gay world.”

Heya ya’ll figured I would share this YouTube movie that I saw this morning, and I do agree it’s very raw emotionally. So when you get time please watch it. Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

Gender Signals

Posted on January 19, 2012 by

Heya all, I found this last night, and found it to be a very interesting watch. Yes it is a rather long video, however I believe it’s worth a watch. The video goes over Gender Codes that we are exposed to everyday with advertisements, and other forms of media. So get cozy and comfy, fix a nice snack and view this :)
