Universal - Meglomediac Post

First of all Queer will mess you up, if you’re trans you will be extremely lucky to find any help coming to terms with your sexuality, especially if you identify as straight. Apart from the constant genderfuck in the room, you’ll probably feel or find that you are too much woman for the guys and not quite enough for the ladies and that’s only relevant if you’ve figured out your sexuality, one might not be your preference, or you might be attracted to someone more like you who is in between or not even close to either of them.

Coupling a Man and a Woman - Meglomediac Post

Ok so the title sounds a little mechanical, and I guess it is meant to emphasize my apprehension towards heterosexual couples, but really it is couples in general.  Once upon a time, I used to be a romantic until I realized that men were definitely only romantic in fairy tales and movies, or maybe its just in my line of work (life).  I’m more than just an object, I’m a curiosity, an alternative status check, yes ladies and gentlemen I often feel like the token black girl.  So what happens when you cross a romantic with politics, pornography,capitalism, technology and biology?  You get me, the ultimate skeptic when it comes to those who march two by two towards my status as trans-degenerative heterosexual critic – which means I criticize couples particular stemming from the heterosexual or perhaps the hetero-social mainstream.

Another Meglomedia post

I was playing in a chess tournament in the city and during one of the
intervals between matches I went for a walk to discover some
interesting graffiti.  This is done with a stencil and spray can, kind
of my favourite type of graffiti!  Being a gender
investigator/warrior/terrorist, I found this to be a most interesting
site.

Like any other human being they just want to live their lives in their true social gender and for those who transition – sex.  That means that the multiple personality that so many people impose upon them is destructive, the other gendering that society dictates to them even in inaction, with memes such as childhood, adolescence, and love existing in linear and single gendered expectations littering the public and social domain.

Cisgender Isn't An Insult

http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2009/07/cisgender-isnt-insult.html

It's been a hot topic lately on some transgender blogs, so it's time for me to weigh in with my thoughts on the word 'cisgender'.

So what is 'cisgender'?

It's a term coined around 1994 by Dutch transman Carl Buijs that refers to the alignment of gender identity with your physical body.

In other words, it is the opposite of transgender, in which there is a mismatch between your body and the gender identity housed in your brain.

Reality

Latest, at least for the moment

As you can tell the site has gone through a few different looks and face changes.  There are some new features including the scrapbook, which I'd just love people to contribute to.  It's really just about having a bit of fun from hear, listening to each other and offering a little bit of light, humour and connection in an otherwise heavy and frustratingly oppressive mainstream.

What you choose to do is really up to you, material will be moderated if necessary, but in the meantime, please enjoy the site.  Still have some problems with the picture galleries, and it may not be particularly user friendly for the time being, but hopefully in time with a bit of expertise, we'll get those bugs worked out!

Love 2 all.
Be it! AllyN
