Transsex Advocacy Network

Greetings and salutations! We have posted in here before, but we’d like to reiterate the same post and invite new members: 

I fully believe that it is possible to retake control of the public narrative around transsexualism. We need to and should be acting together as a coherent group of people with intent and an actual goal. We should advocate for ourselves and support each other in difficult times.

In light of that, we are very happy to let you all know that the Transsex Advocacy Network (TAN) is now launching. There is a lot of work that still needs to be done, but as of now a community space has been built on Discord as well as a group on Telegram. This organization is specifically for people who have transsexualism to have a community, support each other, and (most importantly) advocate for the treatment of our condition as medical and separate from gender nonconformists. These are spaces for us, about us, and to talk about our issues. It is more than possible to raise awareness and discuss our issues without focusing primarily on others.

We have since integrated a Mission Statement, and invite you to take a look! On Sundays, we also hold a meeting on Discord for support. If you are iffy about being part of the organization, you can also make it clear that you want to be part of the support group on Sundays, which will only be for transsex people.

This is GOLD

Im thinking of getting back into trans advocacy and I've been looking for something like this 

How stringent is this group's philosphy on dysphoria and surgery etc? 

I am staunchly transmedicalist and have multiple facets to my dysphoria which includes bottom dysphoria

However I also personally still engage in penetrative sex among other things. 

I know this is a sticking point but I really want to find a transmed group I can align with. Is there a gradient of personal experience behind the ideology of the group? 

So many trans groups are either/or. Makes it hard for people like me.

Make sure to read the mission statement. Honestly, I don't feel it appropriate the group even engage in discussions on how one has sex. That's so tangential to the goals and purpose, not to mention extremely invasive. People have their ideas on what dysphoria "looks" like and those are personal values, but the group emphasizes very strongly having dysphoria due to sex incongruence, transition to a binary sex, and medical treatment as the only treatment.

I read the mission statement.

transition to a binary sex

this language is what tripped me up. Does a binary sex constitute as a full SRS according to your philosophy?

GoofyGooberGlibber [OP]

It means you aren't nonbinary

I believe you can have a non-binary incongruence, like, a mosaic brain map, but it must be extremely rare.

I would like to know why that isn't accepted on there.

GoofyGooberGlibber [OP]

It is explained in the mission statement.

I read that, plus the whole moderation terms. I would like to receive information or arguments about why brains can't be dimorphic.

GoofyGooberGlibber [OP]

No, the burdensome of proof is on the claim that it does exist, which is not fulfilled.

This is not the time to divide ourselves

Lack of division and lack of respect gatekeeping is why we are in this position.

VerucaGotBurned

No we are in this position because conservatives like to have a scapegoat to dehumanize and use as a distraction

GoofyGooberGlibber [OP]

No time like the present.

You certainly don't have to join in that case.
