I am currently working on a mapping project that would compare the presence of transgender supportive organizations to things like the LGBT population in general, the presence of hate groups, etc...

One of the things I go off to find is the US Census Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data from census.gov. This is where their landing page , which introduces and describes the data, should be.

I would swear to all of you, just yesterday, I saw the normal landing page there. I also haven't been able to find that data through the normal data.census.gov search functions. I fully admit that I could be very paranoid here, and maybe this is just a website maintenance sort of thing? That's part of why I'm posting this. Is it just me?

Is there anyone out there, who has been looking for similar data, also getting the whammy?

So I'm trying to decide if I want a zero depth srs (vulvaplasty) or a vaginal canal srs (vaginaplasty) I'm leaning towards zero depth. I don't want to do electrolysis or dilate. Penetration seems potentially nice but most likely meh I'm ace (demisexual) I fear regretting not being able to engage in penetration should the mood and right person ever come around. But I still think I'd be happy with the vulvaplasty Does anyone have any insight on the pros and cons of each? I've Googled these both extensively but, are there things that are less mentioned that you can kinda only know if you go through it yourself?

I'm an trans indie author and I just self published my first novel. It's currently available for free, but if it's no longer free by the time you see this and you still want to read it, just PM me and I'll send you a free copy.

I was heavily inspired by authors like Allison Rumfitt and Gretchen Felker-Martin, so if that's your type of thing, please read! I was heavily interested in satirizing the idea of trans people as being inherently "predatory" or "montorous" and kind of turning this stereotype on it's head.

This story is very much so a passion project, and started out as a short story that I wrote in a course I took during my first year of uni.

If you're still interested here's the pitch:

Victor Frankenstein decides to play god. This is not a very good idea. When he decides to start digging up graves, and performing his own top surgery D.I.Y style using corpses, he becomes his own special kind of trans body horror. Things begin to go even further south when they realize that their own body has become a kind of living corpse– and they need to continue to replace the rotting pieces of their own body as they continue to decompose.

"Frankenwiener" is a modern day, trans take on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Taking inspiration from splatterpunk and extreme horror genres, “Frankenwiener” blends both classic and modern horror.

P.S I don't have a marketing budget as I'm a broke uni student so reviews and reccomendations to other people help out A LOT

The Order seeks to relate Aphrodite, goddess of Beauty and femininity, more directly to MtF transition, this is reflected in our practice and theology

We belive that, though born male, Aphrodite has called upon us to make ourselves like Her in all ways (physical, mental, spiritual) and that transition is how we get closer to Her and the Divine Feminine (Soul of Aphrodite)

We offer HRT assistance, gender identity assistance, and Beautification/self-care assistance to ANYONE who requests it.

We have a discord with 1000 members

And we have a subreddit if you wanna stay local

Hiya. I'm a trans/intersex guy who mainly goes by he/him, but since living in a welcoming space I feel comfortable with any pronouns. With this, I'm also comfortable presenting as feminine or masculine - but the problem comes with jobs.

I don't have any of my IDs showing M, because I'm worried about being denied healthcare because I don't have F on it. I also don't think I can get my birth certificate (I don't want bottom surgery, I don't think I can get it changed any other way). With this too also comes my voice - I naturally have a high voice that I keep, though it can go a lot lower, I just don't want to lose it ever since going on T, and I thankfully don't have huuuuuge bahonkadonkas, so I don't even need to bind most days.

Anyway, genderfluid dream. BUT. This makes things difficult when it comes to jobs - if I present as masc, they see my ID and the jig is up. If I present as femme, well, I can't really go boy mode. I don't have any dysphoria anymore, but some days I don't wanna go all girl mode.

Now, especially since I'm applying for jobs as a sales rep, this is even more concerning for me. Though I'm curious how I'm treated as fem vs masc, I live in a slightly sketchy state (Virginia, outside of Richmond, but not so redneck confederate that I can't leave my house without a red light pointed to my head). And I have already gotten some flack and discrimination from my gender identity before, even places where I thought I could be safe, so I'm very much cautious.

Any advice? Any personal experiences with sales pre- and post-transitioning?

im feeling very pessimistic. im sad. ive had other trans people, well, honestly bully is the only word i can think of, me and so many others for not medically transitioning. i see myself as genderfluid, idk how to explain it but i have for 4+ years now. ive been shamed for not being in the binary and/or not getting medical work done. (also told that identifying as such is the cause for the recent election) how are people able to do this to one another?.. how do you justify treating people like that? or am i in the wrong? im torn between sticking my ground and hating myself for being such “cause” even though i know its not true. almost ashamed of identity… i just want to exist

Hey y'all I need to pick up my meds and other mental health meds tomorrow from the pharmacy but am not able to afford to get there and I am scared that I will have to stop all my meds because I can't get them I can't even afford to get food being trans has destroyed my life I lost everything

I had to go to this camp firstly because my mom had already paid for it and i wasn't about to waste that money and effort. But it made me really dreadful considering they would be separating students by gender in the dorms and all of that stuff that you would think about how people are gonna perceive you. Basically i was scared me being trans would have ruined my own experience.

So when i was in that bus i didn't have any expectations, i was like "its just 3 days im gonna get this over with".

When we got there we got to write our own nametags and the counselors never misgendered me somehow (im pre t) so i was feeling pretty good and then we had to pick our roomates. At first i thought they had let me be with the other boys, but then because they didn't really know what to do with me (the teachers) they called the boys parents to know if they would be okay with their sons sleeping in the same room as me. The answer was no, so they moved me to a girl's dorm.

I was pretty devastated by this and i would lie if i said i didn't cry, mainly because i had gotten along with those boys. But luckily i had talked to these girls before and they were cool.

So now my expectations were pretty much the same, if not a bit lower. But i still tried to enjoy myself yk? i wasn't gonna see most of these people again anyway so i just had fun and acted like myself.

I met a lot of people there and i was feeling pretty nice, the boys treated me like one of them, that definitely made me feel like the child i couldn't be, just being one of the boys, i was feeling amazing about passing and everything about that.

And then we had this little celebration awards for the end of the camp with awards like "queen of the camp" "cutest couple" "most annoying" and stuff like that.

I honestly was Just thinking in my mind about a few dudes that could be the "king of the camp" (as i had been paying more attention than i should have to the other boys to copy their mannerisms lmao) not even considering it could be me. And lo and behold, they had called my name. I was half wishing it would be me and half telling myself that it couldn't be possible, because i just didn't think i had that much of a presence there, but i just there in front of me i had the confirmation.

And when things couldn't get better (although this detail may be uninportant to some) my friend who was right beside me said: "obviously man, who else would it have been? It was obvious" (not like that but its the best translation i can make) with like an annoyed face at the fact that i was surprised.and like. That meant so much for me.

Everytime i feel dysphoric now i just think .... Bro you're king of the camp what are you talking about....

Idk it just makes me so happy to think about. Im telling this on Reddit because i have already bored to death mu friends about this lmao
