#gender spectrum

Back in 2012, Georgia resident Roddy Jacobson, enrolled at Mount Holyoke, a prestigious all-women’s college in South Hadley, Massachusetts.  While there, Jacobson, who was assigned female at birth, thought about transitioning to a male identity.

“I think I was dealing with interpersonal issues, and some of them were in relation to being at this ‘all-women’s environment’ and not feeling any connection to that identity beyond biological parts,” Jacobson says, later specifying the feelings as disillusionment. “My sophomore year I was approached by a few trans guys on campus and they invited me to some events. I got into the small trans circles on campus. I opened my mind up about my gender [identity] through that.”

For context, the video begins with a background track from comedian Bo Burnham’s new comedy special ‘Inside’, which features a segment where he laugh’s and the audio glitches out over and over again.

The person in the video is laying down in bed, miming to the audio with an overlay of text, a format frequently used on Tik Tok.

The person first mimes the laughter with an overlay text above their head that reads “finally having the courage to come out as bi(sexual)” before fake recoiling as the audio glitches and changes the text to “GENDER”.

Femal (a play with male/female terminology): experiencing both m/f viagenders (fiagender/fiaspec and miaspec/miagender); similar to/interchangeable with femache, but now it’s anglophone/anglospherical/anglo-saxonic.

Could be a centrigender, monogender, multigender/polygender, plurigender, gender-fluid, gendervast/vastgender, etc. As long as it feels/needs both f/m components. May be a lingender, in the sense of both feminility/femaleness (fem(inile)/femeal(ity)) and masculinity/maleness (masc(uline)/virility) being/been associated with fin/min in your culture, but femality/femal-ness is explicitly liagender/liaspec.

beyond-mogai-pride-flags:

Gender binary: an encompassing term ascribing the embedment of two gender arities, commonly describing individuals who have either male or female gendered feelings, prescribing identities such as woman or man, boy or girl, gal or guy, feminine or masculine, it really depends the culture and not all cultures are binarized like this or have a binarity at all.

Combining colors from the original binary flag, except this time it’s not used interchangeably with cisness, because it includes the trans binary flags colors by @x-mogai-glitch-x​. I couldn’t take the colors from the common transgender pride flag, since “trans woman” and “trans man” do not specify it’s binary or not.

Disclaimer: I’m nullary, not technically binary nor non-binary. But I feel flags like this need to exist, to validate our feelings of belonging to real groups/space-ness. Some people consider themselves outside the binaries of cis or trans and AMAB/DMAB or AFAB/DFAB, among others too.

Hey everyone, we wanted to update y'all on the Tranz* Forms store status and we are officially back in stock!
 
is now back on Amazon with a limited supply while we await supplies that are en route -
 
We ran out of stock of our first batch of inventory last week and as a result, unfortunately had to cancel 1 or 2 orders while we waited on supplies. As someone noted, that’s a good problem to have!
 
We’ve listened to your suggestions and worked to improve our chest binder with your help and input.
 
So we’ve come back after this brief hiatus with a brand new size scale,more shipping options,and the S-1000 is now available in black! White will also be coming soon.
 

Please check the description and instructions for the updated size chart!
 
This is a trial run of our new sizes, so we hope you will bear with us and please, please give us your feedback on how they are fitting now! You should not find them running a size too big any longer. Finally, if a size doesn’t work for you, we are happy to exchange it for a size that will.
 
Thanks for your patience!
Caleb - Tranz* Forms
