"NO ONE wants anyone to be trans or to transition!!!!"

Except for all the trans people who harass cis GNC people into transitioning and admitting they're secretly trans.

Pretending these people simply don't exist despite them very publically sexually harassing GNC people does not make you look good, it just proves you don't have any actual arguments.

Speculating about people's gender identities and harassing them to "admit" they're secretly trans is wrong, even if it's trans people doing the harassing and a cis person as the victim. You are not actually any better than the far righters who do the exact same thing.

Pretending that it's not a problem because society at large doesn't want GNC people to be trans doesn't absolve you or your friends or your idols of sexually harassing people over them not identifying in the way you want them to.

Gender Non-Conformity and Minority Stressors: From a Queer Perspective

By: Sarah Janco

Everyone deals with daily stressors. Whether that be losing a job, losing a loved one or getting ill. Yes, all of these things are terrible to imagine, but at least we know that a majority of the world experiences these stressors at some point in their lives too… right?

Now imagine experiencing daily homophobic remarks, internalized homophobia, the feeling of not being accepted, and having to hide your sexuality because if you don’t, you'll get fired. Does everyone experience these stressors? Or does only a minority of people experience these stressors? If you guessed the latter, you'd be right.

These unique stressors: experiences of prejudiced events, internalized homognegativity, expectations of rejection, and concealment of sexual orientation are all stressors that make up what is known as the minority-stress model.The minority stress model by Meyer theorizes that those who identify as LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual), experience unique stressors which fall into one of two categories, distal or proximal. Distal stressors are external and include expectations of prejudiced events while proximal stressors are internal and consist of internalized homogeneity, expectations of rejection, and concealment of sexual orientation.

In a meta-analysis (fancy word for examining trends across a combination of various topic-relevant studies), conducted by Thoma and others (2021), the researchers aimed to see how gender nonconformity in LGB individuals is associated with the distal and proximal stressors identified in Meyer's model. Gender non-conformity is characterized as gender expression that doesn't conform to society’s ideals or standards of an individual's gender that was assigned at birth.

The researchers hypothesized that lower levels of concealment, greater frequency of experiences of prejudice events, lower levels of internalized homonegativity, and higher expectations of rejection would be associated with greater levels of gender nonconformity in LGB individuals. Additionally, the researchers hypothesized that gay and bisexual men would be more strongly linked with minority stress experiences than lesbian and bisexual women.

Results go on to show that as gender nonconformity in LGB individuals increases, experiences of prejudiced events increase. Gender was a significant moderator of this correlation. A moderator is considered the “third variable”, it can affect how strongly associated variables are with one another. Gender helped moderate this correlation because the effects for gay and bisexual men were stronger than that of gay and bisexual women. Gender also moderated the correlation between expectations of rejection and gender nonconformity in LGB individuals, which are positively correlated. Moving forward, results suggest that as gender nonconformity in LGB individuals increases, disclosure of sexual identity increases as well as expectations of rejection.

In terms of the second hypothesis, the research suggest that gender nonconformity can play a bigger role for gay men, than for gay women, when it comes to minority stress experiences. This shows that gender can be a significant moderator in these associations. Importantly, when including transgender participants, the effect sizes yielded stronger results showing that transgender individuals report higher levels of gender nonconformity than compared to cis-gender LGB individuals.

These results are important because it proves there is a link between minority stress experiences among LGB individuals and gender nonconformity. Although higher levels of gender nonconformity are associated with lower levels of internalized homonegativity, gender nonconformity can still put LGB individuals at an increased risk for negative health outcomes due to the heightened frequency of prejudiced events/expectations of rejection.

So, taking a look back at all this information it is clear that gender nonconformity can play a role in a LGB individual’s experiences of minority stressors. As a gender non-conforming gay woman, I sympathize with the experiences that gender nonconforming LGB individual’s face. It’s not easy dealing with the daily stressors of life but taking the time to understand the way minority stressors uniquely affect the lives of minorities can hopefully make us all a little more kind to those who need it the most.

I need to see other butches. I need to see other butches unapologetically masculine and shirtless and relaxed in nature. I need to see other butches on TV and in my books and in my shop and bar. I need butches whose masculinity is not apologised for by feminine or otherwise mainstreamly redeeming qualifiers, like whiteness, thinness, able bodied-ness, attractiveness, feminine faces, earrings, women's jeans and shoes. These things are all okay, but I need to see a butch character who's not been shaped to be acceptable for all audiences with reservations about queerness. I need a butch who's fat, hairy, deep voiced, who's older, who wear shirts and ripped jeans and boots instead of dapper suits. Butches who are on T, or have PCOS, butches who also identify as ftm, or as a woman no matter how they're seen. I need trans fem butches who are fucking ACCEPTED for however they show up in their bodies and clothes.

We need butches not sterilised and redeemed by cis/het normative bounds of expression.

Wayhaught Gender Fics

It's been a minute but alas, I make my return to Tumblr. Today's random topic is Wayhaught Gender Fics. Now, if you've been a follower of my own AO3 account, then you may have noticed that a lot of my fics are mainly Wayhaught written in not, cisgender fashion. I've got a trans Nicole fic, a non-binary Waverly fic, and an intersex non-binary Nicole fic (WIP). I love the fics that push the boundaries of canon and don't just write Wayhaught in random scenarios like one of them being in the military or being a teacher, photographer, tattoo artist, etc. But people go out of their way to write non-binary, trans-man, trans-women, or gender non-conforming fics.

I typically enjoy these the most because I'm non-binary myself and I love the representation and gender euphoria that these kind of fics bring. There's 2 authors I would just love to shoutout for being such huge advocates for writing gender-inclusive Wayhaught fics and that's BlueJayBoi whose written one of my absolute favorites series on the site, everything you need to know and odaatlover who wrote a beautiful fic that centered Waverly as a trans-woman called The Truth About Being Transparent

Although I have a couple of cisgender Wayhaught fics in the works, I make it my main mission to write lots of non cisgender Wayhaught fics just because I have met so many enby and trans Earpers in the fandom that I feel it's so important that if they one day find themselves on AO3 like I randomly did, they can find fics that represent a version of Wayhaught that they can better see themselves in. Alright, that's my ramble for today. Hope everyone's been well lately!

Man ik I'm preaching a point nobody rlly gives a shit about but like. You guys know that 'dont make fun of people you dislike for their physical characteristics' extends to neckbeards right? Right?

#like as an ostensibly cis woman w pcos i fucking adore my neckbeard!!! #i love the gendernonconformity it gives me and i love how it feels and i love how it looks and it makes me genuinely happy!!! #and ive Never been made to feel bad about being a 'woman' with facial hair by anyone other than my parents #but you know what HAS made me feel like shit? people making fun of neckbeards as being gross and ugly!! #i was in a latin course and we were shown a picture of emporer nero w a chinstrap and everyone laughed and i just had to sit there!!!!! #they are so fucking unanimously agreed to be ugly beyond belief and ive had it!! #what do we call a stereotypical redditor who hates women? a neckbeard! #we dont define him by his actual flaws! we define him by what we think makes him physically ugly!!! #my tumblrsphere is Incredibly body positive and i STILL see people in it making neckbeards the butt of the fucking joke!! #newsflash besties! thinking fat people are sexy (correct) doesnt exempt you from being a cunt! #this was prompted by a comic i just saw where a 'formerly cute' person was transformed into a decomposing zombie #and the punchline was 'well at least i dont have a neckbeard because then id ACTUALLY be ugly' #URHGHFHFHFHFHFHFH!!!!!!!!!! whatever probablt ignore me i havent had breakfast yet

Chuds when the role-playing game asks them what role they want to play:

#ooc. #LOOOL #imagine being mad about an rp game asking you to choose your gender presentation in a slightly more specific way than #'r u boy or gurl' #imagine being that sensitive LOL #games have been asking us to choose our gender since pokemon it just got slightly more specific and more expansive #its not really NEW #Just mad because the game dares to include nonbinary trans and gendernonconforming options #for people who claim to love the free market they sure hate when the free market does it thing #when the market tries to appeal as many people as possible

TERFs: we only want our extremely narrow and unscientific and racist definition of women* to be alive.

*UNLESS they are brown/black, fat, disabled, ace/arospec, a different religion, queer, sex workers, immigrants, living in poverty, don't meet patriarchal beauty standards...

#terfs are facists #transwomen are women #trans men are men #gendernonconforming people are valid #fuck terfs #transphobes are human sewage #terfs are racist #terfs are ableist

[rjalker]

it's so ridiculous when people claim cis men are "celebrated" for being gender-nonconforming and then you look at who's doing the supporting of these cis men and it's.....

oh. right. Other Queer people. Who are also supporting trans people and other people who are gender-nonconforming. But somehow the fact that they also support GNC cis men is somehow a bad thing, and the fact that these Queer people know what the word "solidarity" means somehow means that everyone else in society praises and celebrates these GNC cis men while oppressing the rest of the Queer people, so somehow these GNC men are privieleged and oppressing trans people just by existing as GNC cis men????????????????????????

Can you people stop trying to drag everyone else under the fucking bus and stop blaming other Queer people for queermisia existing for five gods damned seconds?

Stop fucking pretending cis men are not just as punished and demonized for gender nonconformity as trans people or any other Queer people. Just stop. it's 2023. You are not allowed to fucking lie about basic shit like this again.

gender is so funny. y'all really identify yourself with one thing or the other and actually feel connection to those two constructs? that's fucking crazy

#i align myself with 'boy' for convenience #but tbh i think it's mainly because people read guy as more androgynous than girl #cause i'm not a guy. but i'm DEFINITELY not a girl so i go the boy way 👍 #anyway i wanna know more about that study someone did ab asexuality and gendernonconformity #cause like. yeah lmao. when i was 13 and fresh out of realizing i was ace i had moments for sure #where i was like 'life would just be so easy if i had no sex characteristics. this is probably because i am asexual 👍' #and then i turned out nonbinary nd still wanting no sex characteristics so. idk just interesting #wild to me when people are like. Actually men and women. like what #like all the genders in the world and you happened to just fall perfectly into those preassigned ones???? #cis AND binary trans people. you spun the wheel of fate and got one of those two answers?????? off the entire wheel?????? fucking crazy #valentine notes

[chaotic-carnifex]

Idc if they're a celebrity or an "influencer" or just some rando you saw on the street, other people's presentation isn't for your consumption and some of you feel way too comfortable assuming that other people's styles are in any way for or about you

#also gendernonconformity isn't a closed practice ya chucklefucks #tumblr is being Really Weird abt the fashion choices of a celebrity I barely know of #and doing it in the most 'must fit into one of these pre-approved sufficiently acceptable boxes' way possible

[probably-max]

every stereotypical girl thing i ever did felt gender non conforming in a way i didnt fully understand until i realised im a trans guy

#wearing makeup or dresses always felt different to me when i did it versus when other girls did it #other people noticed it too because they were always surprised when i did those things #even though they didnt have any reason to think i wouldnt because i never hated it #it just felt different in way i couldnt quiet explain yet #anyway now all of those things make me dysphoric and i wil not be doing any of them again until ive had top surgery and started t lmao #trans guy #gendernonconforming #ftm

[bulletsgirl]

ppl straight up invent things to argue about online its insane

#the way ppl are making posts about what is the wrong or right way to talk about gerards gender is ummm. weird? #as long as ppl arent saying theyre cis. i literally do not think it matters #bc theyve described themselves as extremely distant/unrelated to masculinity #they have gender dysphoria #they said they heavily identify with the female gender for christs sake. Please stop acting like ppl are 'wrong' for calling them trans #i dont think they wouldve said all these things if they didnt want to be associated with transgenderism and gendernonconformity in general #i just find it really weird and suspicious when ppl are very insistent that someone isnt called trans. and in this case wayyy more so. #whatever gerard is feeling or identifies as . almost all of these words and terms are probably synonymous or directly related to it #i dont like that its this big huge weird 'labeling' discourse. touch grass #anyway. just my transgender/gnc opinion. #saw one too many posts about it and its starting to really tick me off #describing something as trans joy isnt a crime.

Question for Wynonna Earp fanfic readers. What are you interested in reading? My main focus has been to write Wayhaught in different gender variations and sexual preferences. ie; non-binary, transgender, gender non-conforming or pansexual (lesbian/bisexual which is their preferences in cannon). Is there any specific way you’d like to see Wayhaught written? Even if it’s written as a cisgender pairing. What prompts are you interested in reading? Trying to get an idea of some ideas for when I wrap up the fic that’s currently being written and published. Your input would be much appreciated if you have any!
