Interview With Jamison Green. Originally posted on Youtube, by Dr. Lindsey Doe.
TRANSCRIPT: [Jamison Green sitting on a couch, being interviewed by Dr. Doe. He is wearing a suit shirt and a black jacket, and has a grey beard.] JAMISON: When I first transitioned, I thought I was going to go get a sex change, then go home and mow my lawn. I did not ever imagine that my life would change at all, because already people- at least half the time, sometimes more- thought I was male. And so, I figured nothing was going to change, I would just feel more comfortable in my body. I realised that there were all these other people out there who were living in fear and shame, because of their differences. And I thought, that is not right. And so I said to them, I’m going to start using my full name in public, and I’m going to start talking about who we are. Don’t be afraid to change in all kinds of ways. Your self can change. [Jamison and the interviewer high-five.] INTERVIEWER: I’m impressed by what you’ve done. JAMISON: Thank you. END TRANSCRIPT.
Jamison Green was born in 1948. He came out as a trans man the late 1980s and made his transition public, for the benefit of others. He has been an activist since then, and led the FTM community after Lou Sullivan's death.
His contributions to trans rights have been largely erased by mainstream narratives around trans history.
Mr. Green wrote the book Becoming a Visible Man, exploring his experiences as a bisexual trans guy, his relationships with lovers and family, and his struggle to transition. He was involved in the 2012 documentary TRANS, where he advocated on behalf of trans people, and discussed his experiences with being s*xually assaulted.

Y’ know, I’m not specifically out to everyone in my workplace, but I’ve made it no secret that I’m trans either. I wear pronoun pins, pronoun mask. I dye my hair bright trans flag colors, and my voice is deepening and hair is thickening with T.
And yet, the only people I’ve had actually try to use my pronouns are a handful of my out bisexual coworkers. Corporate makes this big deal about how LGBTQ+ folk are accepted in the workplace, but also specifically indicate not to ask trans people about their transition. Which, great for the privacy I guess, but it also means they can’t talk to me about how I want my pronouns to be used unless I sit every single coworker down to tell them to.
Which, I’ve started to do, but even captains and managers that I’ve told seem to blatantly ignore or forget that I use he/him and they/them exclusively, and have stopped using she/her. I just get more and more depressed the more I try to come out, because I feel everyone is just uncomfortable with my gender, and that I should just vanish to make everyone else’s life more convenient.

Reblog if you are bisexual, pansexual, or asexual, if you support bisexuals, pansexuals, and asexuals, or
There’s no third, funny option, just the first two because it’s good to just support people because they deserve support.

Hey, you. Yes, you; the non-binary person staring at the screen.
You are so loved and appreciated and your value as a human being is intrinsically and intricately beautiful. Please drink some water if you haven’t in a while and get some rest today. You deserve it, and also, if nobody else has said it to you in a while, thank you. Thank you for being here. You’re wonderful.

Sometimes, those days hit you— when you feel you just can’t fight anymore. The online pressure reaches that tipping point, the social stigma from peers and family creaks and aches, and you start to question yourself.
“Maybe it’d be easier to pretend I was cis.”
“Maybe it’d be better if I just committed to being binary trans and go stealth.”
But you don’t. You sit in that agony, while the world around you questions, “why?”.
Why? Why are we the genders we are? Is it immutable, mental, metaphysical? Is it a function of the psyche? Of the body? It truly, truly, doesn’t matter.
What matters is what will make it better. Does changing your name offer you relief? Does binding, packing, stuffing, tucking make your life more fulfilling? Does surgery feel like it would make your body ever slightly more comfortable to live in? Identity, pronouns, etc., all of them are within our ability to profess and express.
They may try to deny you your space, but reject that notion. TAKE that space.
I am trans. I am a man, and I am nonbinary. No one— no exclu, no cissociety, nothing can take that away from me.
Just... sometimes... you get really damn tired.

Passing: Profiling the Lives of Young Trans Men of Color (2015).
[ID: Excerpts from interviews with two trans men. The first, Lucah Rosenberg Lee, has a shaved head and a trimmed beard. The second, Victor Thomas, has curly black hair and a trimmed beard, and is heavier-set.
Lucah, talking about gender dysphoria prior to transitioning, says, “I was in a heterosexual relationship. I was female. I would question this all the time. Am I attracted to these men, or do I just want to be them? That was a big turning point in my own self-discovery.”
Victor, talking about the transphobia he’s endured as a trans man of color, says, “You’re subjected to something because they don’t understand you. And you have to watch the way you react, because you’re a man now. People take you as a threat.”
Lucah, in another scene, discusses feeling erased as a trans man, and racism in trans communities. He says, “Being so invisible within the LGBT community can actually feel so isolating. When people don’t know my history as a trans person, I feel sometimes that I’m viewed as more of an enemy.” END ID.]
Trans men of color deserved to be loved and appreciated, and made safe. Trans men deserve access to our own spaces, no matter how masculine and cis-passing we are. We deserve credit and recognition for the contributions that we have made to trans history, most of which are erased nowadays.
Being a man is not dangerous or wrong. Being masculine is not dangerous or wrong. Being a black man is not dangerous or wrong.
Please support trans men of color.
Please support trans men.
Please support men.
Men belong in trans spaces. Men of color belong in LGBT+ spaces. Straight trans men belong at Pride. Men do not have to be feminine to be queer.

Men deserve body positivity & neutrality. And I mean all men. Not a single man left out. Not a single fucking one. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their body, regardless of gender, regardless of marginalization.

I think whether one has kids or doesn’t have kids are just both personal choices that have different outcomes, and what fits for one person, may not fit for another.
What makes this complicated is people who can’t have kids and want them, and people forced to have kids they don’t want. Whatever the circumstance, it’s good to be compassionate to someone’s life experience, and do not tolerate people who try to give you bullshit over your own life experience.
i’ll be like 40 w/no kids and people will say “aw i’m so sorry for you” and i’ll be like how was the fucking wiggles reunion tour asshole i went to italy last week for fun and didn’t have to hire a sitter

Hey if you’re an LGBTQ+ person who has ever felt like you’re “not gay enough”, or “not trans enough”, or “not bi enough”, or “not ace enough”, or “not queer enough” (and let’s face, it, that’s all of us) - 
You are enough. The only right way to be LGBTQ+ is to be authentic to yourself. No one can decide who you are except you.
You are valid and loved. 💗🧡💛💚💙💜
