Idea for a (trans)gender resources list?


Guest

Recommended Posts

There's a lot of information out there. But how to find it? Well... I thought it would maybe be handy for some sort of index/list of links to helpful material out there.. To figure yourself out. 

 

What you do you people think? I want to make this into a sticky. Something with articles to read, youtube channels to watch/follow. How to get help... Where to get help?

And not to forget that the how and where to get help is different around the world. In some countries it is more simple to start and in others there are more requirements on you.

But i would love a list of that kind awesome idea.

Do you want suggestions for the list now, or would you rather wait until you get feedback on it? I could probably share a few good ones that I've given others as I've come out and been working on my transition.

Just go nuts in this thread, I'll gather things as I go and put it together :)

I just sort of checked out this site a while ago :

 

https://www.transgenderpulse.com

 

It in itself contains various resources and information.

 

 

Oddly, I can't access the forums anymore. It says I'm banned and don't have permission ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I didn't even have a profile.

 

Maybe it's an IP thing, or it was in error. I just lurked. It didn't seem very active though.

What exactly counts as resources? I'll post a few things off the top of my head and I'll add stuff later if I realize I'd forgotten something.

Here are some resources for coming out at work from the HRC:

https://www.hrc.org/campaigns/trans-toolkit

I'll come back with some other stuff later unless someone beats me to it. There are already several that I really like on here.

Need any fictional movies? Have not seen this for years, but: Tomboy and My friend form faro seem be about someone at least questioning their gender a bit.

Sure, movies are a "entertaining" resource too :)

Here is a list from Heart's thread

The more subtle kind of gender dysphoria, by Anagori
The Null HypotheCis, by Natalie Reed
Kristin's Trans Life, a youtube series of videos by a trans woman about her experiences. Thanks goes to Hadley for suggesting and endorsing this link enough times that I finally added it ;)
25 Things I Do To Make My Body Dysphoria Feel Smaller and Quieter, by Kate
Sex Redefined, by Claire Ainsworth, an article about how biological sex is not as binary as society treats it, and how there is much more than just "male" and "female" in humans.

A Review of the Status of Brain Structure Research in Transsexualism, a handy review of the academic study of trans brains published in Oct 2016 by Antonio Guillamon, Carme Junque, and Esther Gómez-Gil. There's some talk about the correlation between coming out as trans early in life vs later in life, and sexual orientation. Which is cool.

A pdf booklet about FTM (female to male) surgeries, and another one for MTF surgeries. These books are remarkable in that they are accepting of nonbinary identities and sensitive to a great variety of genders and reasons a person may want these surgeries; it does not assume the gender binary. It addresses surgical details for both top and bottom surgeries as well as mental health, and side effects, in very accessible language in my experience. Written by A. J. Simpson and Joshua Mira Goldberg, and funded by Vancouver Coastal Health, Transcend Transgender Support & Education Society and Canadian Rainbow Health Coalition.
 

 

 

Edit : There's this one article / blog I can't quite put my finger on I wanted to mention.

 

It was by a transwoman, and the particular post I remember was about some subtle signs / effects of dysphoria.

 

I think was titled "That Was Dysphoria?", or something along those lines.

I'm going to add and sort them... Click through them myself too... I have a lot to the list of my own too. 

 

No worries... It'll be there soon! :D

 

Thanks for all the links so far! ^_^ Keep going if you have more!

This one was technically meant to make fun of transgenders but it's a long list of different identities which might be helpful to some.https://ageofshitlords.com/list-of-all-tumblr-genders-so-far from they same website also made to make fun of transpeople is this list of pronouns which could be useful: https://ageofshitlords.com/complete-list-of-tumblr-pronouns-so-far I just love the idea of using a resource that was meant for harm and using it for good
