A graphic representation of the complexities of sex determination across the entire gender spectrum, including many intersex traits, extending far beyond the overly simplistic (and inaccurate) binary XX or XY definition.

Time to tap the sign again… #BeyondXXandXY

This is also why gender testing has been done before but was eventually abandoned because people were losing their minds when they discovered that their own gender didn’t always fit into a nice little binary box either. FAFO, I guess?

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health with severe critique of the UK Cass review on transgender youth WPATH, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, and USPATH are criticizing the recent Cass review on transgender youth and transgender health care in Britain. They point out that...

Oops...it seems Hillary Cass is not qualified to discuss #transgender youth. #WPATH has some harsh words to say on the matter of the #CassReport and its recommendations. Who authorized this again?

The Nonexistent Link between Autism and Gender Dysphoria Two observations can be true and yet unrelated

How is #RudyGiuliani related to #autism characteristics? His wacky antics with #DonaldTrump show #GenderNonconforming behavior outside the #transgender experience.

EXCL: Are autism and gender dysphoria linked? Experts say they may be Experts believe autism and gender-divergence could be linked - with people who do not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth up to six times more likely to be autistic.

Whoa! I am cited in a #DailyMail article relating #autism and #GenderDysphoria - I see no link other than social. Gender dysphoria is not a #disorder but a normal part of the human experience.

How can I be born this way, yet still able to change my mind on political issues? In this article, I complete my theory of #identity by describing the complete system.

A woman doctor holds Purplepaw the Cat

I just filled out a vaccination form that asked for "Sex Assigned at Birth." There is no reason - not for dosage, not instructions. It won't go on my permanent record. It's not on the certificate.

Why am I forced to out myself as #transgender to get health care?

Transgender Day of Visibility Is for Us All You and I both feel pain from social trauma

I get it - I'm a touch late with my #TransgenderDayOfVisibility thoughts! In this article, I explain how #transgender visibility uplifts all humans and unites us, not drives us apart.

I'm gearing up for #TransgenderDayOfVisibility with my brand new flag! No doubt the neighborhood adores me - which is why I intend to keep being precisely the #beautiful, #transgender #woman I have always been.

Be Visible!

The Cheap Distraction of "Gender Ideology" Public Service Announcement: your government isn't interested in helping you

Remember how angry I was yesterday about #GenderAffirmingSurgery being denied? I still believe focusing on #transgender people is a #distraction, not a political philosophy.

The Inalienable Right Our Governments Fear Humans require identity, not empty promises

The universal human process of #identity requires the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I feel like I've heard that somewhere before.
