As a 66 year-old AMAB Hermaphrodite, (subject to myriad surgeries and therapies throughout my childhood), I don't generally identify with too much from the "movements". As a matter of fact, I've gotten more grief from people in those movements than from the populace at-large.

However, as for locker rooms: I believe the solution is to fight for separate stalls also for the sake of another group: people who are simply ashamed of being naked in front of someone else. I haven't been seen naked, not even by my mother, since I was seven years old. (I'm asexual, by the way, so my shamefulness doesn't complicate my sex life because I don't have any.) I think most trans and intersex people would also prefer to use such stalls in order not to call unneeded attention to themselves. We should fight the idea that "every woman / every man has the same stuff" and that it's wrong to be ashamed of one's body - people have a right to be ashamed and shouldn't be pressured to feel otherwise.zewsząd i znikądhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245203192803152065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-52740901976184944442015-09-28T20:16:22.199-05:002015-09-28T20:16:22.199-05:00I feel to keep my body a secret, its different, bu...I feel to keep my body a secret, its different, but I've grown now to accept the differences I have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-19396946905203211712015-09-28T20:16:20.384-05:002015-09-28T20:16:20.384-05:00I feel to keep my body a secret, its different, bu...I feel to keep my body a secret, its different, but I've grown now to accept the differences I have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-69034275162222704162015-09-28T20:16:05.735-05:002015-09-28T20:16:05.735-05:00I feel to keep my body a secret, its different, bu...I feel to keep my body a secret, its different, but I've grown now to accept the differences I have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-86598988516178867582015-05-29T02:46:28.911-05:002015-05-29T02:46:28.911-05:00Cis, white, christian, male, living along the west... <br />Cis, white, christian, male, living along the west coast if that matters, which i don't think it should. <br /> <br />First I would like to ask you about (middle-aged, middle-income, non-disabled, white)male privilege. It is a concept I am familiar with only by testimony and perhaps some observation, but not one which I have any recollection of being guilty of enforcing, or enjoying. <br /> <br />I know what you are thinking. "Of course you don't observe it; your mind has no benefit to observing it," or perhaps just "This person is a sociopath," but I have taken the time to read (and learn from) your blog, so I hope you have time to hear me out. <br /> <br />When I introspect all the major points in my lifetime. School, job interviews, or even common points, like straightening out billing errors (which seems to be becoming a rite of passage for any adult in the first world), I found that while my appearance and title may have had some effect on the outcome, far more potent results came from stance, body language, and words. <br /> <br />While I empathize with cracking voices (having been a preteen trying to sound manly once) is there some physical or mental inhibition for a female or intersex person from assuming an assertive stance, posture, and tone? <br /> <br />I can tell you from experience, that a slouch, stammer, and an infirm stance ("maybe I don't deserve this job, i don't know....") is too heavy a disadvantage to be carried by this "male privilege" force, so would it not also stand to reason that having assertiveness and confidence on your side is not only stronger than privilege, but also has the potential to make that privilege inconsequential? <br /> <br />I'm not so sheltered to suggest racism or sexism or cissexism is non-existent. But, tagging and swearing by a concept like "male privilege" instead of taking action to dissipate it's power is like a climate-change researcher who doesn't recycle. <br /> <br />Second, (if you're still reading) I'd like to suggest that your rejection by your students is less based on their religion, upbringing, and identity, and more based on a notion that their youth of mind grants them pride in opinions that they feel don't need testing. <br /> <br />A person of respectable academic prowess (as you yourself appear to be) knows that even if an opinion is convenient, adopting it without its being tested, ESPECIALLY if it's a strong opinion, is irresponsible. <br /> <br />But let's be a 19 yo student here for a moment. Testing opinions takes WORK. And screw that. <br /> <br />So, while I've come to reject the notion that "boys will be boys" I think short of an evolutionary leap, "kids will be kids." And, if you've managed to maintain eye-rolling vigilance, I encourage you to keep it up. <br /> <br />I wish you luck in your newly aligned body, and specifically solidity of your career. While I may not wholly believe that what you have to teach is the naked truth, I think it is a closer truth than many adults enjoy today, and I hope the adults of tomorrow are smarter than me. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.unisonbiomed.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=104&search=GE+3S" rel="nofollow">GE 3S</a> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710131686065196125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506187185402877766.post-81102455000851901022015-03-11T05:54:40.993-05:002015-03-11T05:54:40.993-05:00Great article.

So much of this legislation is based on the fictional sexual binary, it's really revolting to see the level of ignorance and bigotry in lawmakers. and as Zoe points out, not only are these laws sometimes contradictory, they're none of anyone's damned business! Like anyone else, I use the bathroom I choose, and if someone of ANY sex causes trouble we call the police.
