Speaking as a nonbinary person myself, Wellesley College discriminating betweeen AFAB NB's and AMAB NB's definitely does feel pretty off, as in this context it very much seems to be implying AFAB NB's are just women and AMAB NB's are just men. It feels like they very much missed the idea of what a nonbinary person is.

yeah it's as if they think that nonbinary people lean more in the direction of whatever gender they were assigned at birth, like AFAB nonbinary people are "more female" than AMAB nonbinary people, when in reality someone's sex doesn't make their gender any less relevant. if they're including trans women and AFAB nonbinary people, AMAB nonbinary ppl should be included as well

I agree, although just to play devil's advocate, maybe their thought is that AFABs have some things in common with cis women on the physical side (e. g. reproductive rights issues) that AMAB enbies wouldn't have. Basically trans women have gender in common with cis women, and AFAB enbies have sex in common with cis women, so therefore everyone at Wellesley has something in common with cis women? I'm not saying that's the right way to do it, just that it's possible to find some sort of logic in it if you try.

@@electronics-girl - It's super hard to know where to draw the line in these situations - they have actively tried to be inclusive by expanding their definition of Women in the ways you mention and I think you are spot on with your analysis of their reasoning. If there were only Womens and Mens Colleges then that would still be problematic for Non Binary people but most are Co-Ed so there are plenty of options. I honestly dont think they would have had any real problems had they expanded the definition to include all Non-Binary (except with Right Wing Pundits) but I do understand why they drew the line where they did given they are a Womens College.

It's the 'assigned female at birth' requirement I'm uncomfortable with. "Non-binary people who feel like they belong in a community of women" doesn't do the "Non-binary is just women-light" stuff that women's groups accepting non-binary people often makes me feel - I might not be but some non-binary folk are fem-aligned - but also requiring AFAB makes it icky, and seems to default to an attitude that our genders are our gender assigned at birth.

i’m nonbinary and AFAB and currently feel more comfortable in women’s spaces (because i’ve not been able to medically transition yet, and i present pretty fem a lot), but the exclusion of amab nonbinary people is so gross and icky. like…i’m not closer to a woman than they are, they’re as nonbinary as i am. either include all of us, or don’t bring nonbinary people into this. all they had to do, as you said, is just to just say “nonbinary people who feel like they belong in this community” and it’d be all good. but ONLY afab nonbinary people who fit that? gross. nonbinary people aren’t a “lite” or “diet” version of their assigned gender. sure, some might enjoy labelling themselves as that (some days i do feel like diet woman, and find it entertaining to talk about it in those terms), but we as a community shouldn’t be treated like that

I think that the problem with that story was that they were circumnavigating a pretty weird blob, it being a women's only college. Seems that they either settled on: either your gender or your sex has to be female (cis women, trans women, AFABs of any kind) which is very weird but at least has some basis in structure, or they appeased grandfather issues (as in: what if someone comes out/turns out as non-binary after performing female beforehand? You would neither want to kick them out nor stuff them in the closet, so this phrasing would cover the edge case. And yeah, it looks crappy. But the overall change is far better than what you'd expect from "all women's college".

The thing that is being missed is that the "assigned female at birth" part is in the current policy. The student vote mentioned was to expand that to include all trans and non-binary people, including trans men. The vote was non-binding on the college though and I haven't seen anything to indicate what the school plans to do.

Today I had the most gender affirming experience! I'm enby and in my native language there isn't any gender neutral pronouns, and also literally anything (including nouns, and the word "you") has a gender (only masc and femm...), so I just use all pronouns. I'm not out to my parents, and today we were visiting some old friends, and also some friends of them that we never met were there (including their children), and I was presented to everyone as a girl (because as I said, I'm not out to my parents yet), and I was playing cards with this little boy and one of the adults, and the boy kept addressing me as a boy, so at some point his father tried to correct him and I was like "no, it's alright", and it was very nice😊 ((Also my pronouns in English are it/they))

In the same vein, one thing that always irriated me about French plural was how if there was a million women and one man in a group, the group gets male plural. Or at least that's what I was taught thirty-mumble years ago by French-speaking people in Ontario, though the curruculum was Parisian French rather than Quebecker French, I didn't learn that till university :)

If you want it as a name, then it's actually a name. My roommate changed hers to Kitnoki and is happy. Everyone calls me Typhin, but I plan on using Stephanie as a legal name when I change mine, for a couple reasons. "Typhin" is both an online name and a "for friends" name for me. Stephanie would fulfill the same role Steven does now, it's just a "public" name, and I like the idea of it highlighting how little changed about the person that is "me". I didn't become a totally new person when I came out as trans, I just was willing to show more about what has always been inside. ...That, and because I came up with Typhin back around 1996 before voice chat was popular, I didn't realize that the way it's spelled leads people to pronounce it differently than I did. So people would constantly be calling me "Tie-fin" instead of "Tiff-in". >.

I love this comment. I didn't discover that being trans was "a thing" until I was in my late 20's, but when I was in my mid-teens, I had a group of online friends (AOL chat rooms - yes, I'm old) who all decided to play a game where we guessed each other's real names. Most of them said that they thought my name was probably some variation of "Alex" (I was 16 at the time, and am a month from 39 now) and when I came across information about being trans in my early 30's, that is the name I chose. It felt so right for me. Officially, I go by Alexander, but everyone close to me calls me Alex. It always takes me back to my teens ("the good 'ol days") when someone says "Alex!" to get my attention. Names we choose, ourselves, hold so much more power than the ones we're assigned, even (or maybe *especially*) when we had/have friends who guided us toward the name we chose. Edit: Typo correction.

As an afab nonbinary, I wouldn't want to attend a college that would just view me as a woman. I basically only feel a part of community with women because society has forced me into such a position. I think if a nonbinary, with any assigned sex at birth, felt like they were part of the womens community, then they should be considered. Not just afabs. Some of us have been trying to escape being viewed as women for years lol

Months in, it looks similar the the original, but is overall pretty different. After a year or two, it might as well be a new tattoo.

Transgender individuals (TIs) show brain-structural alterations that differ from their biological sex as well as their perceived gender. To substantiate evidence that the brain structure of TIs differs from male and female, we use a combined multivariate and univariate approach. Gray matter segments resulting from voxel-based morphometry preprocessing of N = 1753 cisgender (CG) healthy participants were used to train (N = 1402) and validate (20% holdout N = 351) a support-vector machine classifying the biological sex. As a second validation, we classified N = 1104 patients with depression. A third validation was performed using the matched CG sample of the transgender women (TW) application sample. Subsequently, the classifier was applied to N = 26 TW. Finally, we compared brain volumes of CG-men, women, and TW-pre/post treatment cross-sex hormone treatment (CHT) in a univariate analysis controlling for sexual orientation, age, and total brain volume. The application of our biological sex classifier to the transgender sample resulted in a significantly lower true positive rate (TPR-male = 56.0%). The TPR did not differ between CG-individuals with (TPR-male = 86.9%) and without depression (TPR-male = 88.5%). The univariate analysis of the transgender application-sample revealed that TW-pre/post treatment show brain-structural differences from CG-women and CG-men in the putamen and insula, as well as the whole-brain analysis. Our results support the hypothesis that brain structure in TW differs from brain structure of their biological sex (male) as well as their perceived gender (female). This finding substantiates evidence that TIs show specific brain-structural alterations leading to a different pattern of brain structure than CG-individuals.

@@dustygania2425 And: However, Riley’s brain didn’t develop as male during gestation and was mapped as female. We know from advances in neuroscience the past few decades that the differences between male and female brains are not insignificant - it influences everything from color perception to taste, scent, emotional reaction, empathy levels, rationality levels, pain tolerance, vocal inflection, and a host of many other factors. This is easy to see on an MRI - male and female brains respond differently to different stimuli. The largest study documenting the extent of the differences between male and female brains was done by Dr. Daniel Amen, who analyzed 26,000 people and found that the male brain has heightened activity in regions “associated with visual perception, tracking objects through space, and form recognition” and are 8% to 10% larger in mass size, while the female brain shows more overall activity, as well as increased blood flow in 112 out of 128 brain regions. Riley’s parents realized this when they discovered her at 2 years old in the shower holding clippers against her penis saying, “It doesn’t go there.” She kept insisting she was a girl. Sure enough, a lot of medical tests later, that turned out to be the case. That means that, in this case, the physiological sex mapping of the brain is different from the biological sex of the body. Riley’s brain is wired as female despite having XY chromosomes. There is no question about it. It’s a fundamental, scientific, indisputable fact. It is not a mental disorder. She is not confused. Her brain is of the same structure as the typical woman. A century ago, she would have been written off as crazy or disturbed but our understanding of the interesting outcomes of biology now let us know that it’s a very real condition based upon demonstrable facts.

There's for sure going to be a ban? Or just something being voted on? Because if it's gonna be a ban, I need to get refills for my T. And then I guess I'll figure out how to get it shipped here. I started transitioning in 2006. Up until I got on disability, my dad was paying for my hormones. I got them from a pharmacy in Oregon, and they shipped to me in Texas. Needles, syringes, T, and they even include alcohol wipes! I think it's called something else now, but it used to be called Strohecker's. Also, I've been going to the same Drs office long before and after transition, they prescribe my hormones. Funny enough, in 2005 my therapist gave me a list of maybe 10 doctors that would be trans friendly and not question it with the letter from the therapist. I look on the sheet, and my doctor was already listed on there! I said hey, that's the Dr I already see. Sweet. And unless it's some kind of law he'd be breaking, he'll always write for my T shots. And if for some reason I have to go to the Dr to get it, it's like a $1 copay for me to get a shot. I've been doing it myself though for almost 17 years, so if I had them do it, that would just be me being lazy lol.

@@nincure Hey there- there is to be a ban, for sure, in Missouri specifically, starting tomorrow. It’s actually something that shouldn’t be able to happen, but it is. It’s being called an “emergency order” done over the heads of the legislature in Missouri by the Attorney General, and doctors providing the trans healthcare are complying for fear of losing their licenses. It’s written in such a way that it affects *all* people (adults and kids) in Missouri receiving gender affirming healthcare because there are a number of catch-22 type clauses stating that you must have been diagnosed with “extreme persistent gender dysphoria” for three years to get any HRT/ surgeries…but…you also can’t have any other mental health diagnoses-especially not ones that people with gender dysphoria experience as a result of having gender dysphoria-like depression or anxiety that is unresolved. So if you’re depressed because you can’t get HRT or need affirmation surgery, you can’t get that affirmation healthcare. You also can’t have any neurodiverse diagnoses like autism, and you need to be tested for autism and be deemed not to have it also to receive gender affirmation care. (Btw people with gender dysphoria are 6 times more likely to be neurodiverse than the general population) It’s a really basically shutting down anyone seeking GAHC from getting that care. Some are saying there may be a “grandfather clause” stating if you are already receiving HRT, you may continue taking it, but from what I have heard this may or may not be the case, or may depend on how concerned your doctor is about treating you. (Additional place where you can learn more details below.) As far as I’m aware this is currently only happening in Missouri, but I know some other states are also trying to pass similar laws through legislation- some affecting only people under 18, and I think some are also trying to restrict adults. Florida and Montana I know are currently trying to pass GAHC restrictions. Florida specifically is also trying to take trans kids away from parents and guardians who are supportive of their trans/ enby kid’s gender-which is is honestly horrific. I very much hope you are in a state that isn’t currently trying to cut us off from our healthcare, but you should probably check. I can’t post links, but if you go to the “Them News” website, and scroll through their “news” section, there should be an article listing the current anti- trans legislation that is in various state legislatures at the moment. “Everything That Happened in Anti-Trans Legislation This Week: April 15-21” is the headline. Also the ACLU should also have more information by searching “ACLU anti-trans legislation”. If you are in one of those states, beginning a plan to first be able to access treatment/ prescriptions is a good idea (check out the Trans Resistance Network website) as well as making plans to relocate to another state is also a good idea. There’s a trans guy KZfaqr from Missouri who has a couple of videos detailing what’s going on there and how to get help as well. His channel is: trans_catdad . His videos on this subject also provide a link to details on the specifics of the Missouri order. Very much wishing you the best and hope you continue to be able to access your HRT/ other healthcare!

That first meme reminds me of buying my late trans son his first binders online. He approached me very hesitantly about it & was so relieved when I just grabbed my debit card & said "Okay, you fill out the order & let me know when I need to put the card numbers in..." He'd only told me about the existence of binders a few days before, but I listened between the lines. I'd been buying him boys & men's shirts, trous, & pants for a couple years at that point. I know I made many, many mistakes trying to trans parent, but at least I was able to be somewhat okay about gender affirming clothes. IMO, if they're accepting non-binary people who feel they belong in a community of women, Wellesley (or any other community of women) shouldn't care how those enbies were assigned at birth. That's the WHOLE POINT. I'm in favour of men (trans & cis) wearing dresses or skirts if they want to, or not. Same with enbies & women (trans & cis). Same with trousers. People should deck themselves in the garb that makes them happy &/or works with whatever goals they're trying to accomplish. So, maybe not a great idea to wear a ballgown & run a marathon if you're trying to cut down your time, but hey, you do you! Love love LOVE "Trans rights or I bites" with a kitty -- now I want to see it with a Tyrannosaur! I was SO HAPPY when I finally figured out I had the right name. Yes, it's actually Starry. That *IS* my name. It's just not my legal alias or any of my long string of dead names. I gave my child FIVE names, hoping that ONE of them would be right. Since he wasn't assigned his real gender at birth, none of them were. So he found his own name, which happened to be on my short list of names for a boy... Much love to you & Shaaba!

7:00 As The Click could tell you, "blåhaj" is pronounced /blow'high/. In Swedish, like in German, "j" represents the /y/-consonant. So "haj" is /ha/+/y/, which sounds something like /hai/. The Swedish letter "å" _does not represent_ any of the vowels we spell with an "a" in English! It's actually an "o" … specifically, it's the English vowel, "oa" [as in "boat"]. so "blå" would be spelled "bloah" in English and pronounced /blo/. Lastly, "blå" is Swedish for "blue", and "haj" is Swedish for "shark". [BTW: The German word for "shark" is, „Haifisch“, pronounced /hi fish/ in English. So yeah, its cognate across the continental Germanic languages.]

Your channel is what helped me understand that gender identity and gender expression are separate things. I'd previously thought I couldn't identify as agender, regardless of how I felt, because I wasn't willing to cut off my long hair to look more androgynous. In hindsight, I realize that is very silly.

these positive meme videos are always so fun and healing. I've just had to move back in with my family after 4 years living independently so I'm dealing with getting deadnamed a lot again. but I've noticed whilst my mum will consistently deadname me, my dad will only use the nickname he's had for me since I was a kid when my mum is present. but when my mum isn't around my dad has been trying his best to get used to using my chosen name. he's even apologised to me about the fact I'm having to deal with more dysphoria being home again around my mum. she is learning. slowly but surely and is getting more understanding about me wanting to go on HRT but she still refuses to use my chosen name despite getting better with other things. thank you for always being so bubbly and entertaining as it always makes me feel better being able to relax and watch your videos.

That mirror thing tho, oof. I worked, briefly, at a call center with a very gendered businessy dress code, before transitioning. One of the tips they gave us was to put a mirror on our desk to make ourselves smile while talking, and the thought of doing that just made me cringe so hard inside. Like... it's not bad enough dressed like someone I'm not, working a job that I hate, now I have to look at myself the whole day while doing it? No thank you. I got a giant plush Togepi instead, that worked much better than a mirror at making me smile.

Hi! Little story I have that happened a couple days ago. (I play in a all girl hockey teem) Last year I came out to my hockey coach and she was really supportive but she had to stop coaching for our team. She passed on that I’m trans and use he/him and our new coach asked me on the third training. Like if my I still use my preferred name and what pronouns I use. Last year we had a pride rounds where we were told that we could wear rainbow and me and my 2 other friends dressed almost all in rainbow. I think we will have it this year to!

I'm surprised how many people have problems with name changes when so many people do it when they get married and people don't have a problem with it, but if we're trans, they almost don't believe a person can change their name for any reason?? I didn't like mine, I changed it, 'nuff said! if I got married (like those annoying magazine subscriptions that put me on a mailing list forever) I apparently got married and became Mrs. Moon instead of them listening to me and put Mr. Moon! I still, to this day, haven't gotten the mess figured out no matter how many times I call them. I gave them 2 years to update my name and gender in their database.

Jamie's publisher suddenly calls "Dr Raines, do not change your name again or we'll have to reprint all your books and that will be a HUGE pain!" Also the invasive question thing reminds me of one of my favourite moments in Supergirl where she completely screws up babysitting Kat Grant's son because she's having trouble juggling too much shit and she asks Kat how she does it, and her incredibly pissed off response is the perfect summary of the problem even if it's a different context: "Congratulations Danvers, you have just hit on the most BORING question I have ever been asked in my entire career. 'How do you have it all?' It's like learning to juggle. You start with 2 balls, and add them as you grow comfortable."

My niece (couple of months as a niece) has changed her pronouns, and told us her new name, but isn't 100% sure if that will be her forever name. I just think that it is cool that she is comfortable with telling us, and hope she has fun with picking the forever name that she feels suits her. I sometimes feel bad that I don't care that she's trans (or that anyone is) - it's not that I don't care about her - it's that I don't care what her gender is - she is still loved.

thats not something to feel bad about at all. that’s genuinely going to be a relief for her if anything. having my gender be nothing special and no big deal is one of the most euphoric things for me because i’m so used to being othered but it. honestly it’s just a nice reminder that makes me feel human and i’m sure your niece will appreciate it

I am an older non-binary person who was AFAB. I think it's hard to understand for those of us over 50. We did not have a word for ourselves to even use to come out. So, I can see why a college may have a hard time understanding why they are being transphobic. I will say that since I have come out the questions I get are honestly ones I had about my own self. Education is the key. Somebody should contact them and meet with staff to get this right.

I purposely chose names for my children that were more gender neutral or has a gender neutral nickname to go with them. I think it's strange and difficult to choose what you will call someone possibly forever in 9 months time especially in the age of the internet and online games where you have names for different characters or usernames it's tricky picking one thing and sticking to it.
