anthropology biology gender genderstudies historical lgbt lgbtpride mythology nonfiction psychological science sociology transgender transition

A transgender woman on the biology, sociology, and history of the gender spectrum.
Gender variance is nothing new. Our stories have been told as far back as the 23rd Century BCE.
CHECKMATE, TRANSPHOBES!

Our chromosomes come in all different variations, and even transgress into other chromosomal systems of different species, eventually transcending all the way back to asexual roots.
CHECKMATE, NECKBEARDS!

This is the book I wish I'd had when I first began transitioning. I had to look all over the place to find the answers - even just the questions - I was looking for. So I wrote this as a sort of bite-sized one-stop-shop on some of the different concepts that make us who we are. I hope the information found here can help others as much as it helped me.

This book is also available in paperback and kindle formats at https://www.amazon.com/Talk-Softly-Carry-Stick-Pride/dp/1719068933/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1539311722&sr=8-1All Rights Reserved

Why I Became a Girl by LilyRook

From the title, you might think I'm transgender, but that's not the case at all. I didn't choose this, nor did I want it. One day, I woke up, and my mind was in a girl's body. To make matters worse, that girl's mind inhabited my body! As much as I hoped it was a dream, I had no such luck. I was stuck as a girl for the rest of my life. But, why? And what do I do now? I don't know anything about being a girl! Can I really live like this?!

Not a Fad: A Trans History Lesson by rhymeswithfry

Although trans* visibility has only increased in recent years, it is not a new experience. Transgressing gender boundaries is not a fad. Trans* history is as diverse and far-reaching as human civilization. In this book I will explore gender nonconformity in early Western civilization. My focus will be on stories from Late Antiquity through the early Middle Ages in Europe. Before reading, please be aware that there have been a lot of negative attitudes directed towards gender variant people throughout history. Negativity does not negate our existence! We exist today, we existed in yesteryear, and our history should no longer be ignored.

Teaming Up with System 225 by MakusCorner

Updated Summary: With the creation of different dimensions and universes, came forth intelligent beings. To regulate these dimensions and universes, higher beings took control of containers called UniOrbs. These containers not only regulated the Gods and the souls of those worlds but also dictated the processes of reincarnation. The UniOrb could not do this on their own, so they contracted souls to become "Systems" that made sure souls were able to reincarnate, but not all souls were fortunate enough to do so. "Systems" then teamed up with souls called "Hosts" to make sure unfortunate souls got their wishes fulfilled, their souls healed properly, and ready for reincarnation. To make sure the Systems and Hosts had a proper base of operations, the UniOrb created a separate space called the Command Center. This Command Center was at the entrance of the reincarnation sea, where souls would go to their next destination. The person in charge was called, "God System." One System was not satisfied with their status quo. They created something known as the "Villain System." This Villain System was designed to suck the life and energy from different worlds, using it to spread a virus that would slowly take over the UniOrb. Their goal: Take over the UniOrb to become the new higher being that controlled it. When all hope seemed to be lost for those in the UniOrb and its Command Center, one System, System 225, gained control from the Villain System, rescued his "Host," and together go from world to world, gaining enough energy to combat the System that created the Villain System. Oh, and also rescuing God System along the way. Book Cover Credit: Alice - via vgen: this_is_ALiCE_draws

Waking up to a new reality by xp64rs

Eric was the younger of twelve year old twins, just approaching their thirteenth birthday. Although only six minutes younger than Lauren, she was clearly the alpha character when it came to sibling rivalry; she had an effervescent outgoing personality and exuded confidence in everything that she did. Eric, on the other hand, was introverted and largely lived his life in under the shadow of his sister. That was until Eric was diagnosed with a life threatening condition. Admitted to hospital for emergency life-changing surgery. Waking up a different person there was a new-found confidence and optimism that results in a metamorphosis into a life that is far from the shadows. Born out of Covid-19 lockdown, this was conceived as a light-hearted short story to counteract the doom and gloom that was resulting from the pandemic. It grew longer than expected, as I got to know Erin. The story might still be a bit rough round the edges, but I wanted to release it in time for summer vacation reading. There is no violence or hatred, just kindness and acceptance. For those that discount this as unrealistic of the real world, I counter two arguments: 1) It is a complete work of fiction. 2) My son went to Lycee (Senior secondary school) in rural France, where attitudes are generally very conservative. Despite this, there was a girl his his year, who believed she should have been a boy. HE was accepted for who he was, without prejudice. Hopefully it offers a little light reading with a happy ending. Not that the story is set in Scotland and the spelling reflects British convention, perhaps with some Scottish dialect thrown in.

WO/MAN (Arthanaareeshwaram) by rukrish

No! Don't prejudge the story by the cover. (Though this is the most appropriate and best one.) No! You need not like what I am saying. No! You need not agree with me. And ... No! You need not criticise my work. Of course, you can critically analyse my work. But, since I am not rude to any of you, since we don't hold personal grudges against each other, since I am just trying to express my views in a very friendly manner; you too need not be rude to me. If you do not like what I am trying to tell, you can definitely stop reading at that moment. If you want to share something or correct me, you can definitely do it, since I love learning. I humbly accept the truth that I know nothing. But whatever tiny piece of extra work my tiny brain does, I try to put it out in this huge world.

I Kept My Promise - #ModernLoveContest by Say_it_backwards

While I filled out paperwork, I marked my pronouns as she/they for the first time. I went with queer as my sexual orientation since no one would believe an asexual would go to Planned Parenthood for emergency contraception. White/Caucasion, 27, 5ft 4, 145 Ibs You need to mark someone as an emergency contact, I heard the lady in the next booth over inform another girl. It doesn't have to be family, it can just be a friend. I had already given them my little sister's name. My mom wanted me off the pill immediately after I had tried it the year before. She was sure it would mess with my fertility. I miss my period, she told me. It revitalized me.H Sometimes I sleep for 13 hours at a time and I almost pass out from the pain. I still make it to work though if it's not the weekend. I don't understand why doctor's offices make you wait 40 minutes before your appointment even starts. At first I was okay with it because I needed to chug some water to pee in a cup. I managed to miss them calling my name the first time since I was too busy trying to muster up some piss in the bathroom. Me and some other queer kid got called up at the same time. I'm Hannah, I clarified for the two nurses.

Jude and his Demon Within by darkness_bi-myself

Jude had grown accustomed to navigating the tightrope of two worlds-his true self and the expectations imposed upon him. His parents, unaware of his identity as a trans male, had enrolled him in a women's college, believing that the environment would help him embrace the femininity they thought he was lacking. Each day he walked through those hallways, wearing the required pale pink kurta paired with dark pink pants and a matching coat, he felt a wave of discomfort wash over him. The uniform, though designed to fit the mold of traditional femininity, did little to reflect who he was. Follow his life to see what future has in store for him. The discovery of his demon. The rollercoaster of emotions following his transformation. And the general life of hiding from his parents. -------------- PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU ARE TRANSPHOBIC OR AGAINST LGBTQ COMMUNITY!!! I have never seen much ftm stories on Wattpad and that's why I thought of posting it here. Why not let some people have fun and give some representation too. If you are gonna hate me for it please leave.

Trial X6 by jplupine

[18+; Use an age indicator in YOUR BIO to confirm you're 18+ if you want to follow/comment or you'll be blocked for safety purposes] Designed to hunt down other transgenics who defect from Manticore, this transgenic is set loose on X5-493's trail after he brings attention to himself with a series of murders. So many unexpected things happened during this mission, planting a seed in 1031 to later defect herself. Now out in the world instead of in the controlled environment of Manticore, 1031 must adapt to survive and not be recaptured. While 1031 was built for combat and strategy, she was never prepared to live among humanity. It doesn't help that 494 has seemingly made it his mission to pick at her every nerve.
