    QAC 15 – Conformity: Being Genderqueer Abroad

    August 29, 2013 / No Comments

    sorry for the long video and please do note that everything i said in the video is purely my opinion based on my experiences etc. i don’t claim to be an expert on anything…! and i totally forgot to mention how obviously i have to keep my gender under wraps during all of this being abroad business. i have to check “female” under “gender” on forms, if anyone asks i’m female, if anyone acts on the assumption that i’m female, i can’t disagree with them, etc etc. le sigh. sorry for being M.I.A. lately…! will try to do better. ;(

    QAC 11 – Growing Up Ace (Asexual)

    July 21, 2013 / No Comments

    as a followup to QAC 02 – The Road to Asexuality, this video “briefly” covers my childhood and what brought me to questioning whether or not i was asexual in the first place. it should probably be noted that i am what some aces call a “non-libidoist” asexual. that is, in addition to being asexual (ie. not experiencing sexual attraction), i also happen to not experience a libido/sex drive. not having a libido/sex drive should NOT be confused with asexuality , which is simply a lack of sexual attraction. some asexuals do experience an active sex drive/libido, while others do not. either way, my lack of libido/sex drive is just something that happened alongside my asexuality; it isn’t what makes me asexual……

    QAC 10 – Gender Dysphoria & Body Mods

    July 6, 2013 / No Comments

    i think that dealing with dysphoria is all about owning the situation– taking control of the things that you do have at least some control over and doing what makes you happy. for me at the moment, that involves getting a septum piercing. 😛 i happen to like certain body mods, but body mods aren’t for everyone.

    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?
