Anonymous asked: do you know anything I can read or see to get more information on genders/sexualities; I know a bit I just want to increase my knowledge(?) thank you

transgirlyang:

this and this are good resources for different genders and sexualities!! they’re almost perfect, except for a few things

dont say mtf or ftm because it is transphobic and focuses too much on physical transition

dont use the asterisk in trans (trans*) because it implies that nonbinary people dont fall under the word trans, which they do

cross dressing doesnt exist, because clothes arent gendered. there’s no such thing as “boy clothes” and “girl clothes” all clothes are completely gender neutral therefore theres no way to wear “opposite gendered clothes”

a few more important notes are!! dont call dfab trans people “female” or “female bodied” the same goes for dmab trans people. a trans girl is 100% female bodied because she’s a girl and its her body!!

if you need help with pronouns you can go here or look at this chart (or you could always just ask me of anon!!! id be super glad to help)

thank u for asking this im glad that ur taking initiative to learn more!!
