Hello there um my names jaxon
and i identify as genderqueer and trans trasmasculine as a trasnboi tranny boi boi
with an i and but today i wanted to
um just kind of do like a trans 101
im going to do like a basic run through with that and just throw out some basic definitions
and stuff so sorry if its real boring
so to get started trans transgender and what it involves
so first off uh you gotta know the difference between sex
and gender sex is what the doctor says you are when youre
born and its pretty much based on whether or not you have a ***
wjereas gender is a persons sense of being masculine, feminine, butch, femme, trans,
both, all, multi, or neither. and this can actually match ones physical anatomy
but oftens times it actually doesnt and so
thats gender and gender is completely socially constructed
and so gender expectations and gender roles in different cultures are different than they
are in western culture and then so like
a gendered body refers to hormones, secondary ssex characteristics, and genital, so like
the geender of a body gender expression is how someone expresses
their gender through clothing, through, clothing styles,
hair, mannerisms, um makeup or lack thereof
the names that we call ourselves, um speech like inflection and the words that
we use, pronouns that we use, things that we do such as jobs, classes, sports, activities,
and um even who we might hang out with is part of
our gender expression. lets see
and then gender cues are what people use to attempt to tell the gender or sex of another
person and then again thats based on their hairstyle their gait or how they walk vocal
inflection body shape facial etc and of course like i said since gender varies by culture
gender cues also vary by culture so those are some basic definitions and then
i just wanteg to cover like the transgender umbrella and who can
be considered transgedner definitely its very important to resspect
identities and self labels and so you want to keep that in mind
let me just cover cisgender now cisgendder obviously does not fall under
the transgender umbrella it is anybody who is not trans is cis or anybody
cis isnt trans um
a cisgender person who feels comfortable with the gender identity and gender expression
expectations assigned to them based on their physical sex. so theres that
the basic definition of transgenders its a term used to describe those who transgress
social gender norms. its often used as an umbrella term to describe those who defy rigid
binary gender constructions and who express or present a breaking and or blurring of culturally
prevalent stereotypical gendder roles the term trans includes but is not limited
to transsexuals intersex people bigenders no genders androgynes crossdressers gender
benders gender *** feminine men masculine women shape shifteers transvestites and even
two spirit people trans folks transperson and trans people and
tranny are often casual terms to refer to people who identify as trans or gender variant.
um and and just to side note
tranny is definitely an insider word if you are not part of the community it is
often seen as a derogitory term
transexual, so a transexual is someonme who identifies psychologically as a gender or
ssex other than the one to which they were assigned at birth. transeuals often wish to
transform theirbodies hormonally and surgically to match their inner sense of gender or sex.
so thes are your F to Ms and M to Fs that go through hormone replacement thereapy and
typically have at least top surgery if not bottom surgery as well.
so an androgyne is a person appearing and or identifying as neither man or woman presenting
a gender either mixed or neutral um
lets see gender variant or gender *** is a person
who either by nature or choice does not confirm to gender expectations of scoiety someone
whose gender identity is neither male or female is somewhere in between or beyond gender or
some combination of genders um
a great one is genderfuck someone who intentionally plays with gender
cues to purposely confuse quotwe un quote standard or stereotypical gender expression
um usually through clothing but not always
um and then you have your drag performers and
drag is an exaggerated performance and dress of
a gender opposite or not typically done by gay men and lesbians but
not always um
theres straight cis people that can do drag
um transfolks can do drag of their
of their gender identity um
i have bigender a person whose gender identity is a combiniation of male or man and female
or woman or any two gender identites really then you have your cross dressers someone
who wears clothing of another gender or sex and this may or may not be for *** gratification
lets see gender bender is someone who dresses or acts
in an androgenous manner um
pan gender a person whose gender identity is compromised of all or many gender expressions
lets see and then two spirit
now two spirit um if used by someone who is not native is a
culturally appropriated word because a two spirit are native persons who attributes of
both male and female genders they have a distinct gender and social roles
in their tribes and are often involved with mystical rituals their often times shamans
um their dress is usually a misture of male and
femlae articles and they are seen as a seperate or third gender
the term is usually considered specific to the zuni tribe
so just know that if you ever think to label yourself as two
spirit and youre not native american you might want to go with lik ebigender or something
so those definitely
thats definitely not all um
the defferent labels that can be that fall under the transgender umbrella
theres i mean
its definitely up to the person on if thhey identitfy as trans and even people that fall
under like
by definition i would *** but i dont identitfy with that label um
like i said i identitfy with genderqueer and transgender and transboi with an i
so t r a n s b o i or just a boi
um but thats my gender label
and not everyone like just because i may look a certain way doesnt
mean i identify a certain way um
and so if you dont know uh you can either not know
or you can get to know the person and um
figure out some way to respectfully ask um if they're willing to tell you
um otherwise it doesnt really matter
um so
yeah sorry for the uh boring education
i um alright thanks for tuning in bye
