Boxers and Binders

I am a trans-gentleman looking to make a difference in this world. I was born female but that does not make me any less of a man. I believe that everyone has the right to self-determination and that no one has the right to tell another person what they are or aren't. I believe in Universal Human Rights and in a higher power that is not full of wrath and rules but just pure creative and loving energy. I have dedicated my life to making positive change in the world through my work as an LGBT activist. I am currently a Political Science Major at University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point and plan on working with organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, National Center for Transgender Awareness and others in the activist community after I graduate. In the meantime, I use social media to spread a message of equality. I am here to make a difference in this world. Please join me. My most recent publication is acts as a guide to other FTMs based off of my journey transitioning.

TRIGGER WARNING

Anonymous asked

The way you answered the person calling you a sinner was so awesome. I've been trying to sort out my religion and my gender identity and trying to fit it all together, and seeing someone able to do that gives me hope.

I understand the difficulty in being LGBT and being spiritual. The Episcopal Church was a blessing for me. They are a wonderful loving place and the first church to allow an openly gay man to become a bishop (Gene Robinson) and they now have a same-sex blessing ceremony and allow transgender people to even be priests (along with women, and other LGB individuals and priests can be married in their church).

SINNER! You are spitting in GOD's face by telling him you don't want the sex that he lovingly assigned to you. Please for your own sake, repent for your selfishness and follow GOD's plan so that you might join us in Heaven where you can do whatever you like for eternity.

Hello,

First off, I forgive you for your misunderstanding and mistreatment of the LGBT community and for your harsh words of hate. I am spiritual and know that God has led me in this direction and I hope that you can come to understand his intentions with the diversity of this planet.

I am confident in who I am and in God’s love for me and I hope that he will help you come to understand his love some day.

Please refrain from sending these cruel words to other people in the LGBT community as they do not show the kindness and love God has attempted to instill in each of us.

Before traveling this summer I realized that if my drivers license still said “F” I might face some issues in the very skittish American airport security. So I went to the DMV armed with a note from my therapist to get that changed.

I am really excited that my gender marker has been changed, but I am kind of upset that I need to worry about what would happen to me otherwise.

Couple sues over adopted son's sex-assignment surgery

By Colleen Jenkins WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina (Reuters) - A South Carolina couple sued doctors and state social workers on Tuesday for subjecting a 16-month-old child born with both male and female genitalia to what they say was medically unnecessary and irreversible sex-assignment surgery while the toddler was in foster care. …

The treatment of intersex infants is inexcusable and needs to be fixed. Our society’s obsession with people fitting neatly into boxes is physically and mentally harming way too many individuals and it needs to stop.

HONG KONG — Hong Kong’s top court granted a transgender woman the right to marry her boyfriend Monday in a watershed ruling that falls short of allowing same-sex marriage.

STEVENS POINT, WI Medical & Healing

A four year old once wished on the first star in the skye that he would wake up the next morning to be a real boy. I like to think I was wishing on the same star as Pinocchio. Because my wish did come true, but not in the way that I thought it would. I am a transgender man fighting every day to make this world a place where other LGBT kids can grow up proud of who they are. I am a writer, singer, brother, son, friend and am really bad at asking for help.
But I need help now.
My voice has always been my strongest quality, whether in music or in activism, I spend a lot of time using this instrument.
My surgery will cost $8400. I have raised about $2000 so far and have a little ways to go.
Music has always been something I believed could bring people together and has been something I have always turned to in times of need.
I will be Singing for my Surgery.
Stay excellent,
Tony
