I hate people who say “fuck the binary.” At least those who express it in that specific way, or that specific phrase, in general. Let’s translate that hate. To clarify, I don’t curse after every other word, but I do curse; thus, “fuck” is definitely in my every-other-day lexicon, so that’s not what bothers me. It’s also perfectly fine with me for others to express … Continue reading Translating Hate: The Binary
The Question On the last post of this series I received an interesting question from a reader: Are lack of facial and bodily hair and a voice unchanged by testosterone neutral-gendered or rather female characteristics? You don’t have the male primary sexual characteristic, but I assume you have the female one. I’m reasonably sure a vagina is not gender-neutral! Even a flat chest — is … Continue reading A Neutrois Introduction: Physical Expansion Pack
A tale of separation, sorrow, and sighs Being neutrois, it’s hard to naviagte uncharted seas. And society is one of them deep oceans. Luckily I’ve come to several important conclusions already. The Distinction Physically After top surgery, I finally have the body I want. (I do, sans the six pack, but I’m working on that, right after I’m done with this recovery.) Being neutrois, or … Continue reading A Neutrois Introduction to Society
After a month of blogging about neutrois identity and asexuality, I haven’t really taken the time to define those two terms, which are more often than not unknown or unclear. You can read more definitions on the Define page, and the Disclaimers at the bottom (in short, these definitions are my interpretations of the terms, nothing more). What is Neutrois? Neutrois are agendered or neutral-gendered. … Continue reading Definitions
Today (March 8th) was International Women’s Day. In efforts to stay on track and on schedule, here’s the related news clipping from GLAAD Blog where “the Transgender Law Center shares a story about Dawn, a transgender women, and her struggles of working in a male-dominated field.” Why should we take a day to celebrate half the population? Why should we take an entire day to … Continue reading International Women’s Day
Monday marks two weeks since top surgery. After showering yesterday I changed the medical tape on the incisions, and managed to snap some pictures of the real deal. Additionally as of today I don’t have to wear the ace bandage wrap 24/7, just when I’m active, which means I’ll need to get used to wearing, for the first time in over 10 years, absolutely nothing … Continue reading Two Week Notice
For those of you have seen the TV show 30 Days, you’ve witnessed how much can happen in a month. It’s been exactly 30 days since I signed up for this blog; indeed a lot has happened. There are 17 published posts, about 13 drafts, most of them fully cooked, and at least 10 more potential leads, not to mention breaking news and current developments. … Continue reading 30 Days of Neutrois
Specifically, My Significant Other There is someone very special in my life, and I feel truly (and this is one of the rare times I’ll say this word) blessed. I feel blessed because I feel more than just lucky and more than just happy. I’ve found someone who helped me find my happiness, helped me build it, helped me nurture it, and who has helped … Continue reading Significant Others
While I’ve never participated in online dating (or offline dating, for that matter), the socio-psychologist in me is always up for curious poking. Needless to say I joined a few dating sites (match.com, eharmony.com, bigchurch.com… [what? I was really curious; people really need bible study partners apparently]), looked around for a whopping 30 minutes, and having no real need for it (practically married now), never … Continue reading Online Dating
I flew back home yesterday. On the way to Chicago a week ago, I had considered asking for a wheelchair at the airport, for the way back. Yeah, that’s how bad I thought I’d be. It was a smooth ride back. Needless to say, I feel pretty good, except tired. I’m staying home the rest of the week, working remotely instead of going into the … Continue reading Finally Home, In Recovery
