A space for positive trans posts

This is something I had not seen from about three weeks ago. The New York Times is running a series of pieces apparently (I'll stop back when I find more) so here is a section of transpersons telling their own stories.

Transgender Lives: Your Stories

There are days that I feel just ridiculously happy since my transition.

Just out of the blue I realize I am happy.

I thought to myself...."Is this what real life is like?" You just sort of live and people regard you, experience you, and interact with the real you, as you?

It's so flipping easy. Such a new way to live life. The world outside my home is not an anxiety inducing place anymore. Who knew it could be like that?

This is great to hear/read. I've not come across too many posts this positive about transition. I always read about the problems.

THIS:

"Call to remove gender from UK passports and driving licences"

This makes so much more sense to me. Instead of all the rigmarole around how to get things changed in this place or that place, simply remove the extraneous.

It seems that about 95% of the places it's currently required it's totally irrelevant.

I just got the perfect example in my own life. I recently moved and the county sent me a notice to update my voter registration. I don't have to state any political party affiliation (relevant to voting), BUT, I do have to select a binary gender (relevant to nothing).

I haven't seen anyone post this yet, so I thought this would be a good place for it. I've seen this Nike ad twice now, must see.

YouTube seems a bit overwhelmed at the moment, if you can't see it here, go >here<

There is an article about this in Runners World from yesterday.
