UPDATE TO TRANSGENDER STYLE GUIDE: AVOIDING INVALIDATING LANGUAGE TRAPS

Full description of the featured image for the post “Update to Transgender Style Guide: Avoiding Invalidating Language Traps” (word bubbles and text that illustrate an update to the style guide):

Title: The Radical Copyeditor’s Style Guide for Writing About Transgender People: 2.8-2.11: Avoiding Invalidating Language Traps

Speech bubbles contrast the following phrases under the headings “Invalidating language” versus “Validating language”: “Women and trans women” versus “Cis and trans women”; “Students who consider themselves ‘non-binary’” versus “Non-binary students”; “Zed, who identifies as agender” versus “Zed is agender”; “her secret was exposed” versus “her history was publicized”; “closeted,” “stealth,” and “passes” versus “private” and “nondisclosure”; and “an out trans man” versus “openly trans” and “public.”

Transona: When you’re not even aware you’re trans yet, but you invent characters that are “you but as a guy/girl” and use them in every role playing game and every single fic you write

i know yall aint tryna hear this but the tea is trans and gnc ppl (of color especially) do face the brunt of gender/sexuality based oppression okrrt! thats just that on that! and pretending like that aint tea and refusing to act accordingly especially when speaking on “Queer” liberation is that bullshit that makes ppl tired of yall cis folk talkin all loud during pride and shit! talkin yet saying and doing nothing abt the ppl most vulnerable! like damn yeah work love is love and alldet but also lets focus and center on people whose actual physical presentation places them in danger daily, and whose coding by cisnormative standards literally lessens their accessibility to resources needed for survival! we will solve ALOT more problems that way lmao..

Happy Pride!

I rarely see bodies that look like mine represented in art. I take my body everywhere I go, and while I wish it were different, I don’t want to be ashamed of it. My body has changed a lot during my gender transition, and it will continue to change. After spending so many years hating the way I look, I’m learning to be grateful for all my body does for me and I want to celebrate it in a way that I’ve never seen it celebrated before.

what autigender isn’t: a label used by non-autistic people, a label used by cis people, a label made up for attention, a label that causes harm to autistic people, a label that causes harm to trans people

what autigender is: a label used by a trans/nonbinary autistic person whose experience is that being autistic so deeply affects their understanding of their own gender that it’s hard or impossible to describe their gender as anything other than “autistic,” or to otherwise see their gender as separate from their autism

I cannot physically roll my eyes harder at gender neutral bathroom signs that jerk off their own wokeness by being like “whatever just wash your hands :)” and then have a picture of a mermaid and a lumberjack and an alien and a godzilla or some shit. If you’re a real ally put your money where your mouth is and guillotine Mike Pence.
