Let me start by a poem written by a 4th year at a US school, as stated in the excellent book by Amy Lee Nutt, Becoming Nicole .

As I stated in the opening paragraph, we lost a 12Yo Trans Boy due to bullying at school. When informing the rest of the school and parents, the headteacher of the school deadnamed (Used his old name, or th

In a post I did a few months back about Trans People and Cross Dressers I had a few comments from cross dressers that they thought I was wrong about them.

I have permission to use the following text from the introduction "A Beginner's Glossary" by Christine Burns MBE. Thank You. Trans / Transgender The preferred current-day adjectives used to describe anyone whose gender identity and/or presentation does not align stereotypically with the gender assigned to them at birth. These are broad "umbrella" terms which encompass all more specific words for gender non-conformity including (bot not limited to) transsexual people, non-binary or genderqueer people and those who cross-dress. The word "trans" was introduced in Britain during the second half of the
