Transgender Articles, Resources, and Essays
Welcome to the Transgender Area at d332.com While I am a non-op trans*-identified girl, I feel it is important to work together as a transgender community to promote understanding, acceptance, and equal treatment within and for the group. I have written essays about the nature of transvestism within the transgender umbrella, and I have also spoken at gatherings and coming-out weeks at universities. I don't make any distinction between one group of trans* folk from the other. No group has more of an access or a right to own the transgender label because they have access to a procedure or a treatment. Not only does this form of validation separate, it also delays unity from happening. Labeling may help one to form a more coherent self-image, but it should, by no means, be used to exclude. Let's learn from all the former fringe groups who have successfully gained a place in society and look out for each other. Best of luck and keep your hopes high!

I normally don’t spend much time on transgender-focused websites. For the path I am taking (non-hormones, non-surgical (the big one)), much of the information only applies to a small degree. Once in a while, I do need to look up topics such as work and ID issues. When I do, the first [...]

Imagine someone telling you:
“Hi, I’m with the A/ABiCgGfGqIsLGTQPsPoly3rdg2sK of New York? We were wondering if you support the A/ABiCgGfGqIsLGTQPsPoly3rdg2s’s of our society?”
Once upon a time, there used to be a LGBT community. Then someone discovered male enhancement pills, took some, and found he couldn’t afford a Hummer.
And now: A/ABiCgGfGqIsLGTQPsPoly3rdg2s (Androngyne/Ambigender/Bisexual/Cisgendered/Genderf**k/Genderqueer/Intersex/Lesbian/gay/transgendered/Pansexual/Poly/Third gender/Two spirit)

When I was growing up, my favorite record to check out from the library was a record pressed by Philips called The Gregorian Chants of the Benedictine Mons of the Abbey of Saint-Mauries & Saint Maur, Clervaux. Every time I checked out that record, I looked at the library card and it had my [...]

Even though I continue to have a great disdain for The Rocky Horror Movie to this day (after finally seeing [...]

The most astonishing highlight of reading transgender personals arrives when I find the single girl who lists as one of her demands from the man she seeks: “must beat up and silence anyone who looks at me the wrong way in public.” I’ve even come across girls who have gone so far as to [...]

I like to talk about a topic that’s close to my heart. I’ve given a few public talks on this topic over the years. Passing (the ability to go into the public undetected, or in trans-speak: without getting read) appears to be the highest accomplishment among the girls and boys. At this [...]
