Thanks. No issues here I just want to be an inclusive as possible but up to now I was afraid that asking questions would offend. The glossary is really helpful, thanks. |

I think a lot of really well intentioned people are afraid to ask questions because they're aware of not wanting to impose any extra burden on people they recognise are already carrying more than their fair share - and that's already a pretty advanced level of understanding in a complex area tbh. I know a lot of trans and NB people get justifiably fed up with being expected to devote their time and energy to educating folk for whom these issues are little more than an intellectual exercise or curiosity. (I also know a lot of very privileged people who really do expect those with less privilege to unquestioningly provide all the extra emotional labour they demand, and who then get shitty if they're not satisfied ![]() We're very lucky that there are fetchies with both personal insight and enough spare mental energy that they're happy to share their experiences and help other fetchies who want understand more, and I think this thread exists in part to match up the curious with the happy to help. |

I learnt much from listening to this BBC Radio 4 programme broadcast tonight. Its theme was that of 'Coming Out', and whether it ought to be an expected step for a person take. The presenter, Dustin Lance Black, wrote the screenplay for 2008s film, 'Milk', a biopic of Harvey Milk, political activist and gay rights campaigner. bbc.co.uk |

Two minds with a single focus, fozz. ![]() A prison officer training for Cert Ed gave a presentation on Harvey's life and work years ago in one of my classes. His topic taught me the importance of being slow to pre-judge. |
