    binding vs body mods

    June 25, 2013 / No Comments

    …and now i’m wanting a septum piercing more than a binder. ugh. i just feels like with my body being so curvy and my height being so ridiculous binding wouldn’t do anything to change how people perceive me, but a septum piercing definitely would, even if negatively and in a way that has nothing to do with gender.

    QAC 07 – Transmasculine & Transfeminine (my opinion)

    June 4, 2013 / No Comments

    this was a video request by someone requesting the definitions of transmaculine and transfeminine, but i kind of ran with it and included my opinion…. also i used finger quotes too often for some reason…. sorry. please feel free to correct me if i am wrong or to share your opinions/understanding of these words. for reference: http://gender.wikia.com/wiki/Transmasculine a video made by request. i blurb about my understanding of these identities and my opinion on the words themselves. i’d really like to hear others’ experiences/feelings/etc because i’m well aware of the fact that there is lots that i don’t know or may have misunderstood. care to share your thoughts?

    QAC 06 – Coming Out as a Panromantic Asexual

    June 1, 2013 / No Comments

    i’m soooooo sorry for this video being so long. i clipped out as much as i could while still maintaining what i think may benefit someone. things discussed in this video (in order): – coming out while in a relationship – coming out more than once – coming out to religious family – dealing with serious illness while coming out – whether or not to come out at all it’s funny because after recording this i ended up coming out to my doctor (GP)… THAT was an interesting experience for sure… wish i had gotten it on video lol. it went pretty well considering who it was. afterwards i made an apointment for a piercing with rainbow-colored jewelry to celebrate the past year and to kick my gender dysphoria in the ass. what a day. this was originally made for Askapansexual, a collab channel i’m a part of, but i…

    QAC 05 – Gender Blurb: Neutrois?

    May 29, 2013 / No Comments

    am i neutrois? hmmm…. in this video i blurb horribly about my own gender. i am neither male, nor am i female. i am not masculine, nor am i feminine. i am not a combination of the two, nor am i somewhere in between the two. i am not gender apathetic, nor am i genderless. i am outside of the gender binary.29 i am what i’ve always been. i am neutral. me blurbing about why i kinda sorta identify as neutrois but how people’s misinformed/uninformed assumptions about what neutrois is screws with my identity.

    QAC 03 – Romantic Orientations & Other Types of Attraction

    May 24, 2013 / No Comments

    in this video i try to explain how there are several types of attraction, including romantic, sensual, aesthetic and sexual attraction. i also go on to explain that there are also romantic orientations in addition to sexual orientations and how these two orientations do not always match each other. i am certainly no expert on this topic, but i feel that this topic is not discussed enough, so i made this video with the hope of furthering awareness and discussion about the matter. i apologize if i have confused for offended anyone. re: the “Orientations” image used in this video, see here. feedback and comments are welcome. hope i explained things clearly/correctly enough. ;(
