In a nutshell: soon-to-be Oberlin grad, archaeology wonk, sexual health educator, and aspiring nurse. Generally found volunteering at an abortion clinic, meditating, ranting about gender, or trying to finish my thesis. Feel free to ask me anything.

I've used this Tumblr for a few things in the past, but right now it's a trove of interesting things, with varying degrees of quality and original content. I'm also responsible for Transcending Anatomy.

heart of my own: Harper's doing it real quietly. Fuck this fucking country and all of the idiots that voted Conservative. →

5.2 (1) An air carrier shall not transport a passenger if
(a) the passenger presents a piece of photo identification and does not resemble the photograph;
(b) the passenger does not appear to be the age indicated by the date of birth on the identification he or she presents;
(c) the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents; or
(d) the passenger presents more than one form of identification and there is a major discrepancy between those forms of identification.

yup

fuck stephen harper, fuck transphobic security theatre bullshit, fuck every american who thinks canada is some sort of ~liberal safe haven or what have you

The last time I flew out of Canada was, apparently, just before this became policy. Looks like I won’t be doing that again any time soon.

Been thinking about this more, now that it’s not the middle of the night. Here’s what’s especially diabolical about this: most provinces require genital surgery in order to change the gender on a legal ID. Most doctors in Canada require one to two years of “living full-time” before they will perform genital surgery. So you can’t fly if your presentation doesn’t match the gender on your ID, but in order to change the gender on your ID you are required to present in a way that differs from the gender on your ID for at least a year. Heaven forbid you should want to fly to visit family and friends during that time… or move someplace else… or go on a vacation… or, hell, travel to see your surgeon…

(And some provinces’ health care systems won’t cover surgery for trans people, GID diagnosis or no. And — oh, yeah — many trans people don’t have genital surgery, including most who are FAAB. I guess Stephen Harper wants us permanently grounded.)

    Why I support government reform: because in this country, a majority government means you got 33% of the vote.
