Stating that sex or gender is binary, is an informal fallacy at best. It makes an erroneous assumption that there is a limit of two discrete options, namely male or female. It doesn’t take much research to discover that intersex people exist, and that creates the problem of nuance for a supposed binary. Some may […]

Whenever this time of year comes around, I am reminded that somehow since transitioning I have moved out of the space where I can personally fully celebrate either of these days. This is only a reflection on my experience and is not meant to suggest what anyone should or should not do when, or if, […]

This will be more of a brief post/summary than it will be an exhaustive in-depth analysis. However, I may work on that in the future, as there seems to be enough to discuss at length the history and application of gendered language when describing the fit and function of various fasteners. I have seen this […]

Today the U.S. House debated H.R.28 – Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025. This bill would amend Title IX Of the Education Amendmens Of 1972 to explicitly discriminate against transgender girls and women athletes by excluding them on the basis of reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The new language begins […]

In a previous post, I mentioned that I was taking a break from social media. I did for a time. It was a much-needed reset for me. One reason I needed the break was to reflect on things and determine if the direction I was heading with my writing was where I really wanted to […]

Sometimes a person just needs to take a break from the world to focus on more meaningful things. I am a Millennial, but an older Millennial. There are some who might call people like me “Elder Millennials”, and others may recognize I am part of an unofficial crossover generation between Gen X and Millennials known […]

In a world where we have nearly complete unfettered access to information, and at speed of the time it takes to enter a search term and click “go”, we need to learn how to practice some healthy skepticism with the information we choose to consume. Indeed, shrewdness and skepticism are two healthy qualities to develop […]

This is more of a personal post and update rather than normal content. I am working on writing a book! The final title is TBD, but I am considering a few options, “The Gender Guidebook” being one of many. One would think based on some of the rhetoric online that gender is a clear and […]

Pronouns are a part of speech that we use every day, often without a thought other than what might be the appropriate pronoun to use within the context we are speaking. They are integral to the English language. However, recently pronouns have become a political debate, with folks claiming that they are pandering to wokeness, […]

The film in which Matt Walsh, a boisterous American conservative, asks the question, “What is a woman?” is a attempt at a documentary which explores and attempts to answer a question often asked by conservatives in a disingenuous manner, while debating transgender issues. This film is no exception, and is a mocking attempt at such […]

March 31st is known as the International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV). Today is a day to recognize that transgender people exist, and that the issues facing the transgender population are very real, and very much a threat to American civil rights and liberties. This year has seen an alarming and unprecedented attack on those […]

Okay so this is really my first post since I decided to start speaking up and using my skills and knowledge as an anthropologist and information technologist to help support the trans community. It’s a hot-button subject right now amongst conservatives. Seems they want to focus on semantics of defining words, which albeit are important, […]

Transthropology is a blend of two words, transgender (shorted to just trans), and anthropology. The meaning of this blended word is as an adjective to describe the study of transgender culture within the LGBTQ+ community, as well as within the broader global socio-cultural context. My goal is to apply my experience as a transgender woman, […]
