Got my first job with my real name!
Well, not so much a job but an internship(and it is paid!!!!!) Through my school at the Institute for woman’s research. Something really basic though, me and another girl will be helping them reach out to other students through social media etc. Not such a big deal but I am really happy to finally feel comfortable in work and be called by my proper name.

I have a deep need for a female black Sherlock Holmes and a white dude Watson. And like people think Watson is Sherlock and he plays it off like it's no big deal but Sherlock speaks up and says yes it is, because it means that people don't take her seriously. I just need a show that adds that commentary that we are not in a post racial society.
As a white person, I’m not really an authority when it comes to talking about race, but I wholeheartedly agree.
This sounds really awesome. Someone make a show out of this because I want it.Loading... -

the worst thing about speaking two languages is trying to use an expression from one language that fits perfectly into your conversation but the other person won’t get it.

This is something I experience on the daily, so I think it’s important to address it. Note that this is my personal opinion, and not the opinion of the trans* community as a whole:
For me, the effort is more important than the outcome.
Seriously.
I know people are confused when they encounter me, and are unsure about my gender. I know they are; to say someone is not confused would be a diservice to the cause and also a blatant lie. I know cis/non-queer people who encounter me do not know how to identify me. I accept this, and, to an extent, I appreciate this confuse.
Honestly, for me, what is most important is people’s intent. To have someone ask me “What are your pronouns?” or to ask me about gender as it relates to me (mind you, asking IN PRIVATE!!!!) is a huge sign of respect to me and my identity. It really is. And I love and appreciate every single individual who asks me about how I wish to be identified.
And, y’know what, for the people who KNOW my identity, pronouns, and name and mess up on occassion: That’s okay. It is. What matters to me THE MOST is that you CORRECT yourself. Having someone call me”she” or “Carly” and then say, “Oh, shit, I’m so sorry! I mean’t Carlin!” or to make a conscious effort very soon to use my proper name and pronouns is incredibly touching to me. You showing the effort, and addressing your mess up in regards to my name and pronouns, means more to me than anythings,
I understand people mess up. I know genderqueer/trans*/queer individuals who mess up pronouns and names. This is an all too real things that happens. I know genderqueer, queer identified individuals who mess up my name; hell, the individual who INTRODUCED me to asexuality and genderqueer-dom sometimes messes up my name.
People I love sometimes mess up my name.
Fellow queer people sometimes mess up my name.
This doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt me to be called the wrong name, because, absolutely, it fucking does. But having you support me, and having you correct your faults, means more to me than anything.
So, please: Make the effort. Do your best. ALWAYS, no matter the circumstance. And if you mess up, correct yourself.
Support me,
That is all I can ask for.
