Hey birls! If you remember a few months ago I was asking for submissions for this compilation. Well, it's finally done, and it's a free download so go get 'em!





Queer as Folk-Pop Vol. 1!




Queer as Folk-Pop is a delicious buffet of singalongable queerfagdykebutchfemme&tranny-centric lovejams for the pansy pop-addict in all of us. Because don't tell me you're not sick of the same old compulsive heteroboticism harshing your tunebox. This project aims to communicate to audiences of DIY folk/pop/whatever music that we're here, we're queer, and we dig handclaps.

QAFP is an ongoing project, so please send submissions to queerasfolkpop@gmail.com. It's a great way to get some headphone-play for your hot mess of a music project, and contribute to queer visibility in the nebulous DIY music scene too. There are no guidelines regarding the form or content of submissions. It doesn't have to be a new or exclusive song; it can even be a cover. The options include everything under/over the rainbow, so use your imagination.

Let's pitch in to make something that sissies and spinsters alike can sing, snap, stomp and swoon along to for ages to come.

Queer Lovejams for the Win,
Meagan aka Wisdom Tooth

I posted here before about wanting to cut my hair! I DID IT!

( ... )

I've been bored recently. I'm visiting family in Ohio and I'm dying. So, I've been spending lots of time taking pictures of myself and veggie out.Plus, today I had a shitty day so I was trying to cheer myself up.. My best friend is pissed at me because her best friend and I have been talking. It's a mess. She doesn't want anything happening between us. I've tried to tell her that we are adults and that we can do what we want.. but at this point she's threatening to kick me out..
I am NOT enjoying the cold.

Eli. 21 in march. Pre everything

okay guys heres a picture of a haircut i want to grow my hair out to. well it wouldn't look exactly like this because my hair isn't straight nor do i want it to be but kinda like this. i want the length but instead of it being a blunt cut across, i want it feathered. but i can't find any short cuts with feather back ends. can anyone help?
in case you dont know what 'feathered' means

Q: What does feathering mean?

A: Feathering is a term used to refer to finely-textured layering. The term evolved from the way many layered styles looked similar to the smoothly contoured overlapping feathers on a bird’s body. It now basically refers to any finely textured layered style. The hair can be short and smooth, or long and curly.




ty!

heeeey buddies.
been watching this community for a LONG time, and finally decided to go the shortest i've ever been!
( before and after... )

Yo. I'm Rebecca. I introduced myself once ages ago but I never posted here after that, though I occasionally comment. I never thought I had anything to say or bring to the proverbial table. Then I wrote this journal entry and I was like, "Hey." So anyway this is my first non-introductory post.



Tonight, my girlfriend asked me if I had ever considered a sex change. This partially excited me because I feel like in most places where I work or live, it is a taboo subject, and I really just want to be able to talk about it freely and openly, like we'd discuss what we want for lunch or what we think about this book or movie. Any gender stuff at all, whether or not the discussion involves transsexuality, is so interesting to me--yet for some reason a lot of people willingly block transsexuality out of it.

Anyway, so I was just sitting here being awake and on the Internets and pondering this and being like, "Why not use this as an opportunity to ramble about myself in a public sphere? It's fun!"

I have indeed been in periods where I heavily contemplate the state of my femaleness, or lackthereof, or total differentness, and whether that is "male" and whether I am unhappy with anything about my femaleness, or whether I am desiring of physical maleness. I even picked a male name out for myself in the possible event that I concluded a sex- and gender-change is "for me."

Definitely, there is a maleness to my personality and my sexuality. Although I tried to deny and to push it toward the back of my consciousness in early childhood, and only timidly and privately addressed it throughout my adolescence, having it manifest many times more frequently and unwittingly through outlandish, rebellious, and overtly sexual ways (one could argue it was a sort of secondary "male adolescence" I guess), when I began reading about gender in my early 20s (feels weird to say that, haha, since I'm still technically IN my early 20s...), I became excited and, soon, liberated by coming to see the various ways one can experience and express their gender and sex. It is not so set in stone, so ~binary~. It is fluid, amorphous, many things, a spectrum.

It's okay to be female and male at the same time, in varying degrees and intensity. This doesn't have to be a conflict. It can be a marriage.

So I asked you guys for help a while ago, but I ended up having a heck of a time trying to find someone recommended in my area. Finally I gave up and went to a chain, because my hair needed to be gone, and attacking it with clippers was looking better and better...

( And the result )

Let me do a total re-introduction. Nat 22, gender chopp`d & screwed.

I'd never had allover short hair before, but I had to cut off my mohawk for Christmas so I got a pixie. I'm not sure if I like it or not. Sometimes I love it; sometimes I hate it. I guess I'm just not used to it yet.
I didn't even have an idea of what I wanted since it was a spontaneous haircut. My mom trapped me at the salon and wouldn't leave till my hawk was gone. But anyways, this is close to the picture I chose at the salon:


( and this is what I ended up with )

 I've had variations of the same pixie cut for well over a year and I'm looking to maybe change it up a little bit but I need some inspiration!

BASICALLY - I just need y'all to post your favorite pixies. Post pictures of yours if you've got short hair.

gogogogo!

Hey this is probably not allowed here but I thought I'd give it a try any way but Im starting this blog about my everyday life and I kind of need people to actually read this thing so im doing the advertising thing. You can delete this post if this is not allowed, but i talk about pretty much everything so don't be afraid to check it out.

Live in or near Hollywood? Want to protest criminalization of homosexuality, specifically the murderous Ugandan bill against LGBT people? Well, it's happening TUESDAY, the 22nd!


cliiiick http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=211085097067


From the event coordinator:

Date: Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Time: 10:00am - 1:00pm
Location: 7095 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA


"The Ugandan government has proposed a bill entitled the "Anti-Homosexuality" bill. If this bill is passed, it would mean the legalization of genocide against lgbt people in Uganda.

"The protest is located outside of the L.A Honorary Consul to Uganda's office. His name is Matthew Crouch. After repeatedly calling and emailing his office he has still failed to provide the public with a statement regarding his stance on the bill. This failure to act on such a serious issue is reason enough to protest outside of his office."

My name is Joanna, 31 years old, and I've been a member of this community for a few years now, though I have never posted before. I honestly couldn't tell you what I am. I guess I've always been confused and feel as though I am ever fated to be so.

I have always found myself sexually attracted to men, but I have had crushes on a few females before. However, I can never quite imagine myself with a woman sexually. I have always been thought of by other people, as a first impression, a lesbian, as I have never been girly in my life, much to the dismay of my mother. It's just not a part of my being I suppose.

I've always felt as though I'm really a guy. And when I say that I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body, I'm not joking. However, I don't think of changing myself into one either...I just wish I had been born one. Sometimes though, and I mean sometimes, I don't mind being a woman.

I suppose this isn't much of an introduction. I feel as though I'm not really saying what I mean to say here.

I guess I could end this in saying that I truly do identify with those of you on here.

I am hear, I am confused, and today...it's not so bad.

Thank you!

So, I just got my hair cut (just a trim), but since I am pretty broke, I went to Pro-Cuts for $12.95.
I was going to request a faux-hauk, but I didn't get a good feeling about the girl cutting, so to play it safe, I asked that she just do a simple trim.
Now I am home and still want a faux-hawk and am out $12.95

I was wondering if this is something I could possibly pull off myself?
I suppose I could just start chipping away, but I don't want to screw it up.
My hair is basically in the correct shape, it's just too long on top.
( Here's some photos of it )

Sooo i said i was going to cut all of my hair off ... and I did

I feel empowered when the sun is up. Nothing can get me down. I am strong, confident, awesome. I have amazing hair, awesome friends, a great imagination and personality. I may not know what I want to do with my life as a whole, but I am creative and have several ideas on what I CAN do. When the sun is down, I feel listless and depressed. I think to myself, "Why am I doing all this? Everybody hates me now". I get very lonely. Give me some hot cider and someone to keep me company, or someone to talk to, and I generally spring right back up and remember that it's not so bad, really. Thank you Winter, for taking and providing, but still being generally lovely. You are a moodswung mistress and I love you. I have Before and After photos! I absolutely LOVE B&A pics, so if you guys have links to some yourself, I would love to see. c: ( pics under cut )

hi everyone, ive been watching for a while and now my hair has gotten un-managable again and i need some ideas. i really dont have set style but ive done a lot of diffrent(crazy) things over the last few years. i was hoping that someone might be able to help but all i want is a fringe, i dont mind what type. the picture below was take earlier today and is what my hair looks like. sorry for crappy web cam quality. can anone help? thankyou in advance Kim

can you guys post some pictures of inverted pixies? or anything with bangs in the front, those long side tendrils, and a cute short back? i need something fun and something that'll grow out easily!!

So I've been with Keri for almost a year now and I love her with all of my heart. She is the best person I have ever met, and even though I've made mistakes she has stood by me and she knows I will always stand by her. When she first told me she was diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder when she was 18 I wasn't really surprised. She told me that because of her family and the way her life is that she would never transition, but then one day she sidelined me telling me she was really serious about transitioning. I was really upset at first, scared she would change when she started taking testosterone but I'm at a point where I am very supportive and I've let go of the selfish part of me that wanted her to stay how she is. I want her to be happy because I don't want to marry her and then when she's 55 being miserable because she never lived life how she wanted and then for things to become bad between us. I want her to live her life to its full potential, and I want to be there with her through it all.

Today she got her prescription for testosterone!!! We're both so excited. She gets her first injection on Tuesday, and I'm going with her. But even though I am feel that inside she is a male, there is still one problem. I feel like I will never be able to use male pronouns when I talk about her just because I've known her as a girl. She says she honestly doesn't care and that she wants to just be seen as how she feels on the inside, but I know that it would be hard for her to hear me calling her a girl all the time when really she is not.

So my questions to any transguys, or girlfriends of transguys or even ex girlfriends who dated their significant other before they transitioned are: Did you find it hard to start to use male pronouns? Did you find it easier once you started to see the changes for yourself? If your significant other was close with your parents before the transition, how did you explain to your parents? What are some things I can do or say to help make this easier for Keri, considering her family isn't very open to the idea of Keri transitioning?

Just for fun here are some pictures!

( me and keri! )

So I had the most wonderful night last night!
I came out to my bestie in the whole wide Washington state as trans, and he was wonderfully accepting... thus far the most accepting person I've come out to in my family/friends.

also, I shaved the sides of my head... I'm not sure how much I like it myself

Maybe I'll like it more when It grows out?

Just checking in, my finals week is almost over and I need a break! I'm newly single, and I'm so bored. Its like I have no idea what to do with myself anymore. Blah. So my question is- What are your holiday plans? ( So it's not only text! )
