TGNC: trans gender non conforming

[pletgnc]

Hello everyone!

My name is Alyssa/Cooper (they/them) and I am an nonbinary undergraduate psychology researcher in the PLElab at University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign). I am making this post because I am leading an online nationwide study on the life experiences of trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals aged 18+. The study has been approved by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institutional Review Board (IRB #24-1144). Our aim is to gather one of the largest nationwide samples of TGNC individuals and their experiences to ensure that our research reflects the diverse voices within the TGNC community. The online survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and, at the end, you have the option to enter a raffle for $100 gift cards! 

You can learn more by checking out our study website: https://pletgnc.wixsite.com/study . If you have any questions feel free to email me at pletgnc@gmail.com. And if you want to participate, scan the QR code on the flyer or follow the link on our website!

This survey will take approximately 45 minutes to complete. If you decide to participate and complete the study, you will also have the opportunity to enter a drawing for one of four $50 Visa gift cards. To participate you must identify as transgender; this includes nonbinary individuals. You must also live in the United States and must be able to comprehend English.

Flyer for Speak Out (Unknown)

[man-squared]

[ ID: Five drawn images with texts.

The first image is of a woman waving. She wears a name tag that says, 'Happy.' The image's text reads "Today at the theater, I met a trans woman named Happy."

The second image is of a transmasculine person with a woman standing slightly off-to-the-side beside him. The text reads "I was with my aunt - who isn't really transphobic - but I decided not to mention I was trans, too. I think we picked up on each other anyway."

The third image is of the transmasculine person and trans woman looking at each other. The text reads "She told us about her name. That when she moved out, she realized she wasn't happy at home. So she decided to become happy."

The fourth image is of the transmasculine person shouting a transgender rainbow out of his mouth. The flag is blue, pink, white, pink, and blue. The text reads "I didn't know how to verbalize how much it meant to me without shouting our transness from the rooftop."

The fifth image is a fist bump. The text says, "So instead I just said 'nice' and gave her a fist bump." End ID. ]

Crossdressing party goers in Gaza, Palestine (1960s) | ph: Kegham Djeghalian

This photo was found by Djeghalian's grandson in 2018, along with an entire collection documenting the rich culture and history of Gaza. Djeghalian survived the Armenian genocide as a toddler, fleeing to Syria, then Lebanon, before moving to Palestine, where he lived between Al-Quds and Jaffa. There he would meet his wife Zevart Nakashian, and go on to open the Kegham photography studio in Gaza.

"There, for sure, is this connotation in these conversations that a privileged person needs to be silent, can have no/very little harm done to them, and that they are evil or do not matter" no, you completely misunderstood my ask.... i don't think that connotation actually exists. i think the misunderstanding is coming from YOUR side. i think you are misinterpreting statements like "trans women are oppressed worse than trans men" as "trans men are evil and hurt all trans women" or "trans women, as women, should be centered in transfeminist conversations" as "trans men should shut up".

Okay, so, I do think that in certain situations, "my side" adds a connotation; however, I have seen many times where it is implied that someone talking about the struggles of being transmasc/man (regardless of the term they use for it) should not talk about it because 'But trans women go through the same thing!' or 'But trans women have it harder.' I have seen this happen, and then the very same commenter makes a post about trans women struggles and gets mad about people commenting that it happens to transmascs, too*. It's not a bad thing to acknowledge that "any side" can do wrong and have done wrong, I promise. "Your side" (because I guess we are just wholeheartedly lumping people together) has implied that transmascs don't matter in discussions of trans issues - full stop. I'm not saying every conversation or every person says or implies this, but you are deciding who I am based on who I am not because I talk about transmasc issues and, specifically, my current talks about how nuanced male privilege is.

I have seen people dismiss transmasc posts of a LIVED reality under the guise that it can happen because they have male privilege. If a post is tagged (or sometimes not) with certain terms that parts of the transmasc community have chosen for ourselves to use, I have seen people bombard the posts with male privilege talks. I see people believe that just talking about anti-transmasculinity is implying that trans women are less oppressed or that trans women oppress trans men.

I have seen people imply that trans men should shut up.

Here's the thing, transmascs as a group are not represented really at all in transfeminist theory, at the very least online. It's not a matter of centering transmascs. It's a fact that we are disregarded.

I'm not saying that a trans person who is not transmasc has to always make posts with transmascs in mind. People write what they know. I'm saying that people need to stop making assumptions about other groups. You made a huge assumption about me and "my side." None of the posts I have made recently about privilege even talk about trans women. None of the posts on privilege have said anything about trans women being or not being more oppressed than trans men. None of the posts are even talking about or tagged transfeminism.

A lot of the posts I have mentioned don't say anything about trans men being more oppressed or whine about transfemmes being centered in transfeminism. A lot of the posts are just trans people talking about what they go through without asking for additions or making assumptions that xyz trans group doesn't go through it. I have seen actual posts of people just hounding on trans men being 'the men of the trans world' for wanting a seat at the table or for making our own table.

I don't engage with Oppression Olympics. They often silence people who need to be heard or end up in harassment campaigns for either side. I block, for the most part, when I see a bad take.

*Sometimes, people in both conversations are hijacking posts meant to just be about grievances. However, some people in both conversations make posts that imply that only one type of trans person experiences X thing. I also am not saying commenting on these posts with additions is good or bad.

**At some point, transmascs have to be involved in transfeminism. Just talking about us does not "center" us. If we are left out of feminism and transfeminism, we will have to make our own spaces (reminding me so much of aspec discourse jfc) in which we will center ourselves.

***This your side, my side shit is stupid. Us versus them without addressing the issues and facing the reality. We are never going to gain trans rights by splitting the community and silencing each other. And we all do it, regardless of gender.

"Atypically gendered burials are generally excluded as “outliers” in excavation reports and subsequent research, relying on anachronistic idea that historical societies followed a system of sex, gender & sexuality aligning with 19th-century western standards" lmao

Gender & trans / non-binary archeology will see justice and recognition brought to the hundred of ancient cultures noted for gender diversity... As an example, to see documentaries of all white archeology teams dig up native American graves and say so confidently "yup, that's a cis man and that's a cis woman" is ignorant erasure at best and blatant disrespect at worst to fit their culture and history into western 19th century standards / perceptions of gender and sexuality.

Do give regard and pay respect to the following, among others: Muxhe, Winkte, Alyha/Alhya, Hwame, Ninauposkitzipxpe, Biza’ah, Quariwarmi / Kariwarmi, Lhamana, Bloka egla wa ke, Asegi, Ayagigux', Tayagigux', Baté, Hemaneh and the list goes on! Do not erase the people of the country you claim to love. Justice and liberty for all, ya dig?

Keep in mind the bias of Spanish missionaries and colonizers when they write accounts of people, since they most often cannot see past bias of "there a women in male clothing and men in female clothing" and "they commit sodomy as it were permitted" or "some men go about as the women do & vice versa"

Recognize the Natives 🪶 recognize their genders 🌸
