Deconstruction Site: Male Privilege for Speakers of Other Languages
http://deconstruction-site.blogspot.com/2012/07/gender-for-speakers-of-other-languages.html
You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Saturday, 21 July 2012. Male Privilege for Speakers of Other Languages. It's difficult, questioning one's gender. So many different things are thrown haphazardly together under the label "gender" that it's hard to disentangle the parts that are really you. Is it in the way you behave? So you conduct experiments. I've gradually been teaching myself male privilege. Since I began experimentally identifying as transmasculine. It wasn't until I starte...

You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Monday, 13 May 2013. Aromantic Pride: A Decade in the Making. I cant really draw. 13 May 2013 at 13:13. I like it. It has all the crazy charm of Hyperbole and a Half. (Sincere compliment there.). Also, I read aromatic pride on fb, which also pleases me. 13 May 2013 at 15:05. Golly, high praise indeed! Bless you, mdear :D. Yeah, the aromatic misreading is a constant problem.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). An advert for something I approve of.

Deconstruction Site: June 2013

You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Sunday, 16 June 2013. So then, one last question: What do you want us to do for you? The answer in my head was "I want you to help me work that out". But it would have been the wrong. I was there for a diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria, and if you have Gender Dysphoria, then by definition, you must want gender confirmation therapy. You must want to do everything within your power to make your body conform to the right. There was one question he hadn't.

Deconstruction Site: Narrative, Imperative

You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Monday, 10 December 2012. And then, there are the stories we tell each other, about ourselves. The world I saw in stories was so much narrower than the world I've grown up to live in. Stories are what give us the power to imagine what paths our lives might take. Even within a fandom like Red Dwarf (a show where - much as I love it -. The girls aren't funny, the men only think about sex, and the writers once had a thankfully-never-used plot idea f...

You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Thursday, 22 March 2012. Where does the money go? But there was one piece of information I couldn’t find, no matter how hard I tried: Where, exactly, were they going to invest my money? They going to invest my money? The bank will invest your pension money in whatever stocks and shares are likely to get you the best returns. They can't tell you what companies your money will be invested into, because even they. All of these were among the top hol...

Deconstruction Site: August 2012

You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Sunday, 12 August 2012. When I was at school, we had a debating society. Whenever the motion was "x should not be compulsory", I would be in favour. And whenever I spoke in one of these debates, I would lose. Combined Cadet Force should not be compulsory? Nah, why not? You get to fly planes and shit. It's cool. Therefore everyone should be forced to do it. Sports lessons should not be compulsory? Nah, why not? It; some people don't. They might co...

You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Tuesday, 27 September 2011. Update post. My work email name has been changed! I did The Explanation! Everyone is being very supportive! Well, that or silent, and the truth of that. Will out once the obligatory official PC supportiveness dies down, but I'm optimistic that these are nice people.) I bumped into my boss in the men's and I think he was slightly taken aback! Or will they just ignore it? Happy, healthy, sane, supported and FtM. That...

You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Monday, 21 May 2012. Title, pronounced /məks/, by analogy with "Ms", or /mɪks/, as in "mix"). A handy alternative to those peskily gendered and status-specific titles "Mr", "Mrs", "Ms", "Miss". Variant form: Misc. I'm due to give blood again soon. So, like a good person, I went to blood.co.uk. And tried to book myself an appointment via the webform. Then I remembered what the webform looks like:. We even have our own national campaign. Basis in l...

Deconstruction Site: April 2013
http://deconstruction-site.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
You can't make a career out of transitioning" - my mother. Monday, 22 April 2013. Life through a lens. I've spent the past year and a half internalising what behaviour is expected of a man. At first, it was entertaining. It was amusing to rewire my conditioning, to project somebody different. I was, possibly for the first time in my life, "performing gender". I'm starting to get sick of this performance. Some demands of masculinity I just refuse. There should not be. That we all grow up surrounded by gen...
