🏳️‍⚧️💖Next, for my honoring of important elders of our community for the Trans Day of Remembrance is We'wha, a Ihamana, and two-spirit member of the Zuni tribe. There is no consensus on what pronouns are best for We'wha but because native/indigenous folks recognize Ihamana as being distinct from men or women, and fulfilling both roles in their culture I will be using (they/them). We'wha was, perhaps, one of the most famous and influential Ihamana in history. They were a cultural ambassador for Native and indigenous peoples, especially the Zuni. They lived from 1849-1896, during a time when our trans kin had almost no representation, no language to conceptualize our experience, and no safety--and despite this they were sought out and elevated in writing. They learned english and were very knowledgeable; this enabled them to educate Euro-american white individuals and be a valuable contact for many different groups and institutions. They were part of a Zuni delegation to Washington D.C. and even met the president, Grover Cleveland. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍🩷



🏳️‍⚧️💖⚧️ Thank you, We'wha. You are a paragon of representation and community. Rest in power, dear sibling.💖🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

PSA for any trans+ person looking to start, or currently doing, any kind of voice training

Seattle Voice Lab has broken their silence over a former employee of theirs (Jimmy Chen), who set up his own voice coaching service called Trans Voice Lab.

We need to address Trans Voice Lab.

We highly recommend watching / listening to the whole video, but here are some key points within their video:

• Jimmy's employment was terminated for "manipulative teaching practices and dishonesty towards" their students.
• He downloaded their bespoke training materials (SVL's intellectual property) and client lists (!!!), then used these to set up his own voice coaching service and write a book.
• SVL didn't want to have to make the video, but has felt obliged to do so.
• SVL is pursuing "legal counsel" over Jimmy's actions.

tl;dr

• Avoid any videos or guides from Jimmy Chen.
• Avoid using Trans Voice Lab at all costs.

Boosts and crossposts very welcome, as we need to make more folks aware of this

The part we far too often don't talk about when we finally get the gender-affirming surgeries that we need is how hard recovery is--and I don't mean the physical stuff. Today, on Stained Glass Woman, we're looking at The Other Recovery.

I went looking for a gender-neutral replacement for niece / nephew and encountered "nibling" which seems great to me.

#Enby folks, would you be on board with an older relative describing you as their nibling? Is there a term you like better?

I went looking for a gender-neutral replacement for niece / nephew and encountered "nibling" which seems great to me.

#Enby folks, would you be on board with an older relative describing you as their nibling? Is there a term you like better?

Can people please stop using the categories "men" and "femmes" or "men" and "women and femmes" to describe people's experiences/social norms as if all people fit into those two groups and there is no more nuance to lived experiences!?

Man and masc are not synonymous.
Masc women exist and absolutely experience misogyny.
Femme men exist and often have different experiences than gender conforming men.
Trans/nonbinary people experience transphobia and misogyny regardless of if they are masc, femme, or neither.
Factors like race, disability, socioeconomic status, where people live, queerness (and if queer people "pass" as cis and/or straight), and many more effect how people move through the world and are treated! Ignoring intersectionality is ignorant, offensive, and alienates people with multiple disenfranchised identities from discussions of topics where their input/experiences are some of if not the most important!

I don't care if you are trying to make a broad/general statement and dichotomizing those two groups makes it easier for you- it does massive amount of harm and hinders any meaningful discussion of disenfranchisement based on gender and/or presentation.

Just. Fucking. Stop.
