Today Tristin wore his dress. Not a huge thing as he wears it quite often but this was different. Today was the first time he kept it on when we left. Usually when he wears it he will change, completely his choice, if I say we are going somewhere. He just wasn’t quite comfortable going out in public with it. Today he just put on his sandals. I asked him a couple times if he was sure and he was. So with a boy in a pink dress and Tinkerbell flip flops, we went. 

We hit up Goodwill (finally found some teacups I liked!), Lowe’s and Target. I kept a look out for how people reacted to him, just so if he noticed I could talk with him about it later. There were some curious looks but nothing major. Most people were looking at my hair anyway. The only negative reaction I saw was actually a surprising one. A young girl maybe nine years old gave him a dirty look as we were walking out of Target. Tristin didn’t notice since he was talking about his new Hello Kitty flip brush/mirror.  

I know there will be a day when he will notice how some people treat those who are “different” but I’m glad that for now he took a big step for himself and the world as he knows it is alright. 

Ahh, my heart! 

On top of the general adorbness of the story:

I had a childhood wearing dresses some of the time (albeit ones chosen by my mother, who had very….early 80s taste….) and got given Hello Kitty accessories, and it’s really nice to see a male-assigned and apparently male-identified child having similar experiences and still being recognised as male.

charley - 23, biologically male. i have tourette’s, but it is waning away as i practice pretending to be an adult.

though i identify as a queer man, i entirely reject any notions about gender. when people (usually children) ask me why i do things “that girls do,” i always ask them who gets to decide what boys do and girls do. regardless, i decide what i do. i paint my fingernails with glitter, and then chip one changing the brakes on my truck. when i get called ma’am, i just smile, put on my big daddy voice and wait for the reaction. i also do a cartwheel everyday, just because. have an awesome day. :)

rock on.

not a lesbian.

i fucking hate the words gay, lesbian, and bisexual.

honestly, why the fuck does it matter? people really need to see past that.  being called a lesbian today made me cringe. it even made me deny it.  no im not in denial. its love. its me and her. her and i. not lesbians. not gays. love.

You don’t have to read it.  Basically it says that the proposed DSM has in its fifth version proposal that an intersex person who rejects their sex assignment has a gender disorder.

The DSM gets worse in some and gets better in some ways. Ugh. So, if you don’t agree with the SRS forced upon you at birth, then you have a fucking disorder?

You are disgusting, horrible people. You should not be making decisions about people’s mental states. You know nothing. Stop being paternalistic assholes.

What the fuck is this, B.F. Skinner’s DSM?

Yep, I had a Disorder of Sex Development and got surgery, then when I reject that assignment I have Gender Identity Disorder.  (Link to this garbage)

This is soooo logical, DSM. God.
