A birthday gift to myself. It was really enjoyable seeing so many qftm stories told in one book but it did lack a bit of diversity. Finished it up very quickly though.

Trashcanman Happy Birthday 🎉 🎉🎉 4y

The Scottish Parliament goes back to work today and there's a big drive for trans rights and resolving the delays to the revised Gender Recognition Act. Hopefully after the activism there'll be reasons for some positive #tubthumping to come #RedRoseSeptember

Finished this up this morning while enjoying a rather relaxing Sunday off.

This book is excellent, so much detailed information on the intersection of race and gender, and trans topics that are usually only briefly mentioned.

At the end of the book there‘s also a great section on how to assess your school/business/medical environment for trans competency. This is so needed.

A+

Can‘t sleep, so I‘m in bed with this dude.

I‘m learning a lot of things from this book.

Currently reading this morning.

We need WAY MORE books written by trans people of color.

Skimmed the last chapter or so due to disinterest.

The biggest problem seemed to be that the author, a self-described baby boomer, cisgender lesbian, filtered her thoughts on transgender men through that lens. Lots of misinformation and bias.

It‘s sad because we need more literature on this very subject... it would just be nice if it were accurate literature.

Returning to my pile of books by actual trans people now.

jmofo It‘s probably not high on your list, but I am going to NOT recommend Chaz Bono‘s book. Maybe read it after you‘ve read many, many others...I found it needlessly othering about queer or non-binary gender and judgey about many body types and not in a let‘s-unpack-it way. Super disappointing. 5y
SkeletonKey @jmofo - Sadly enough, it was one of the very first ftm memoirs heavily advertised and I read it before I began to accept myself... the thing I found so difficult to read was how much he rejected the feminine and embraced poor male stereotypes in order to fit in, so I refused to believe we had some things in common. It was so, so off putting for me. Feminine isn‘t a bad word, and I‘m still working towards a feminine/masculine balance. 5y
SkeletonKey @jmofo - That being said, it also allowed the first conversations to be had and was pivotal at the time for me and a lot of people to discuss these things in a more public way with family and friends so I can‘t totally throw it out. It‘s good to have more to pick from now. 5y

jmofo @SkeletonKey I myself don‘t understand the binary thing personally but I understand it makes sense to pretty much every one else, seemingly. I want to read more about/by the folks who are less interested in embracing the stereotypes and more interested in expressing themselves as they are. I often try to suss out what the masculine and feminine umbrellas mean outside of modes of dress. The whole thing confuses me, pretty much since I was little. 5y
jmofo @SkeletonKey I hear you. Ms. Jenner being on the cover of a magazine did make it easier to talk about, even if the talk got complicated...I remember when the only book a person could think to recommend was Stone Butch Blues when Sister Outsider also existed. 5y
SkeletonKey @jmofo - Sister Outsider is so damn good. If you haven‘t read them, I really enjoy Kate Bornstein, Ivan Coyote, and S. Bear Bergman. They‘re less intent on the binary. I also bought a book called Delusions of Gender recently but haven‘t read it yet. Do you follow Alok Vaid-Menon? They have a chapbook out that‘s great. 5y
SkeletonKey @jmofo - Gender is weird. 5y
jmofo @SkeletonKey 👏 Yay recommends!!! I am excited about that! Thank you! I have the Delusions of Gender somewhere around here. I haven‘t read it yet either. I‘ve tangentially come across post colonial feminism & coloniailty of gender as ideas but haven‘t dug in yet. There‘s been some serious academic writing that intimidates me a bit. 5y
jmofo @SkeletonKey humanity is weird. 😅 5y
SkeletonKey @jmofo - Okay true 😂🤣😂 5y
kgriffith Thanks for the warning, marking as Bailed so I don‘t get tricked into stacking it ;) 5y

Oh my god, if you don‘t understand, like or accept trans men please don‘t think you can write an entire book about the subject. This chapter is the worst.

🤮👎👎

kgriffith What. The fuck. 😡 5y

SkeletonKey @TrishMcCallister - I can‘t for the life of me figure out why she wrote this book. 5y
jmofo I‘m glad your surgeon wasn‘t thrilled with this author. I‘m glad your medical peeps aren‘t like this. 😒 5y
SkeletonKey @jmofo - Me too, I‘m pretty thankful for the experience I had after seeing some of the opinions in here 😮 5y
SkeletonKey @Clare-Dragonfly - Glad it‘s not just me that finds that totally inappropriate 🤯 5y
