TranzFat

Beware of the body positive porn! Hmmm, transgender, intersex, queer, art, cute things that make me smile, science and scientific illustration, dyke femme loveliness, and whole bunch of beautiful. Feel free to ask intersex or trans related questions.

I’m just going to leave this up.

i’mma just start tagging posts like this with “but racism doesn’t exist!” and “we all bleed red!” and “why does it always have to be about race?”

can we please take a look at how little WoC make compared to everyone else
now can we take a look at how little MoC make in comparison to white women
feminists need to get it the fuck together, for real

(1) In San Francisco — arguably the most transgender friendly city in the country and home to the minority’s largest population — 60 percent of transgender people make less than $15,300. (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=3156598&page=1#.UA6uTI7aqkQ)
(2) study found that earnings for male-to-female transgender workers fell by nearly one-third after their gender transitions, but earnings for female-to-male transgender workers increased slightly. (http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/25/before-that-sex-change-think-about-your-next-paycheck/)
(3) In fact, a new survey of 194 trans people conducted by the Transgender Law Center (TLC), with support from theGuardian, found that only one out of every four respondents has a full-time job. Another 16 percent work part-time….. more than half of local transgender people live in poverty, and 96 percent earn less than the median income. Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that 40 percent of those surveyed don’t even have a bank account. (http://www.sfbg.com/40/24/cover_trans.html)
