Learn ASL Free → laits.utexas.edu

So for those that asked me, this is what we learned in class for ASl 101, 102, 201 and 202 should be.  The 301 and 302 might be included in this.  The page you will view begins you with 101.  Simply follow the unit chapters and each thing under the unit.  Video and text instructions demonstrate exactly how you are supposed to be using the signs.  A great resource for anyone in ASL class to help them along or for anyone wanting to learn who can’t afford it.  To move on from ASL 101 and 102, click the link at the bottom of the page for ASL Online 2.  This is an online version of the books I’m paying for in college.  Yay for you.

Bright Side

On the bright side, the primary instructor emailed me and apologized for the other one.  She said she wasn’t sure if she should stop the lecture and correct her or let it go and keep things moving so as to avoid a scene.  That she didn’t know which way I would want it.

I generally correct people in small groups… I dunno about a large classroom.  That just seems like attention I don’t want.  If the secondary had done it once and pressed on, then this wouldn’t have been an issue, its the fact that she went for a pronoun world record that got attention.

Disheartening?

Sometimes when I’m reading these stories to put on Trans* Success, I get a little disheartened.  One of them I’m reading right now… the guy was CLEARLY male identified.  He lived as a man in one of the toughest male professions in western history.  Went by a man’s name.  No one knew he was female assigned at birth except apparently a few very close friends who weren’t talking.  It was only discovered upon his death by the undertaker.  And it kills me that he’s listed on “female western heroes”.  Um… he’s male.  True, we can’t go back and ask him what his gender identity was.  But apparently the guy had no desire to be identified as female.

Yet this article is like “He was a woman!”.  And they go into all this “shocking” detail about all his male habits while they keep going back to his being a woman because he was born female.  Regardless of how he lived.  Yes, sometimes women chose to go under male names for some things, but when you read about someone and its SO obvious that everything they did was male, their habits were male, they lived their entire life since childhood as male… its disappointing to read words like “woman”, “disguised”, “nobody knows why she chose” to live as a man.  Um… I can take a wild guess.

I may be being sensitive today because I’ve had a very bad gender day.  Fucking teacher chose to call me “she”, “her”, and “herself” 10 x in under a minute in class, causing some other guys to chuckle.  So depressing.

Say NO: The Tennessee Bathroom Bill → thepetitionsite.com

transawareness:

TRIGGER WARNING!:  Rep. Richard Floyd had some lovely remarks about trans people and restroom uses and is hoping to get a bill through to force trans people to use the bathroom of their birth sex:

Floyd said earlier Thursday he introduced the bill after reading a news article about a Texas woman who said she was fired from Macy’s after stopping a male teen dressed as a woman from using a dressing room.

“It could happen here,” Floyd said. “I believe if I was standing at a dressing room and my wife or one of my daughters was in the dressing room and a man tried to go in there — I don’t care if he thinks he’s a woman and tries on clothes with them in there — I’d just try to stomp a mudhole in him and then stomp him dry.

“Don’t ask me to adjust to their perverted way of thinking and put my family at risk,” he said. “We cannot continue to let these people dominate how society acts and reacts. Now if somebody thinks he’s a woman and he’s a man and wants to try on women’s clothes, let them him take them into the men’s bathroom or dressing room.”

The bill would charge violators with a misdemeanor carrying a $50 fine.

Anybody wanna vote this man out of office?  While they withdrew the bill, apparently it is not entirely dead.  Click the link above to sign the petition and make sure this bill stays out.

“You are a cruel cruel master. You make them work for their happy ending.” —My best friend at something I wrote that made her all weepy lol  Yes, its all very sad.  The characters of my stories always go through severe hell before the light at the end of the tunnel.  And sometimes that light is just the train lol.

Crazy me

I can’t believe I’m crazy enough to accept a 2nd job.  I really don’t want one.  My boss has a friend in a different department that also needs a worker so my boss propositioned me for a 2nd job.  The other boss likes the idea cause apparently I’m a good worker.  So, it looks like they’re gonna put me to work asap.  Lets see how 2 jobs and full college courses goes eh?

ASL interpretation.  While its not artistic, I enjoy how crisp he is and how he chooses to sign certain things.  Interesting.

How to Spot a Transsexual → uncyclopedia.wikia.com

WTF is this?  Found an “uncyclopedia” that is about how to spot a transsexual person.  Some excerpts below.

Many indications give away the transgender status of these women, among which are their feet, the way they walk, their hooters (or lack thereof), their shoulders, their larynxes, hands, cosmetics application, jargon, and coyness.

If you are unable to flee, you can pretend that you are gay. Transsexual women, ironically are only interested in people who are interested in women.

Only a transsexual, and even then only an extremely horny and sex-starved transsexual, would ever date you.

This ‘estrogen bath’ we are all a part of has caused amazing and wonderful changes in our environment. A new being has emerged…the transsexual! These beautiful creatures can be seen all over the world.

Give the girl the cold shoulder if her shoulders are wider than her hips, because, again, most likely, she wasn’t born with a vagina. Genetic women’s shoulders-to-hips ratio is typically more in proportion to one another.

Does she stride in style, have a graceful gait, exhibit a womanly walk? Or does she look like a model on a catwalk (many of whom, incidentally, are transsexuals), trodding like a goosestepping commie, with too much “precision” and obvious rehearsal in her rollicking walk?

Actually…you maybe VERY attracted to her. Transsexual pre-op women offer straight men a very powerful sexual experience…unlike a woman can provide. Ideally it is best to have one of each…

You Know You're Trans* When: #2069 If you absolutely have to wear a bra, it's a sports bra; and you put it on the same way you do your binder... from your feet up.

miraclesaremadeofluckandtime:

environmint:

…I don’t put my binder on from the feet up….

Neither do I. I wrestle it over my head and shoulders and kind of squish it around from there :P

I think it’d be amusing to watch for others

lol I’ve never done that, but I do put my sports bras on the same way I do my binder.  Arms first, then pull over the head and snug down.
