US Social Security Administration Changes Policy on Changing Gender

Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:11:31 -0700

samiitiger:

ryansallans:

No longer will the Social Security Administration require surgery to change a person’s gender within their database.

Following guidelines put forward by both the federal government for passport changes, and many States’ DMV, individuals can have their gender changed by sending a letter from their medical provider (a sample is shown within the following link) https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0110212200

SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!

from the kickstarter page:

The “Because of Them, We Can…” project started out as a photo campaign that I launched during Black History Month. The goal was to inspire and empower our kids to be great by connecting the dots between them and the individuals past and present who have blazed and continue to blaze trails.

As the month progressed, what I once believed was confirmed - 28 days wasn’t enough.

As such, I extended the project for a full 365 days. Each day a photo is released via social media - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

The feedback has been amazing, but the biggest request has been for a book that includes all 365 images. I could go the publisher route, but I truly believe that we can fund this movement. Here’s where the Kickstarter comes in. Funding this project would allow me to self publish a high quality, hard cover art book that will serve as a source of inspiration and education for all who come across it.

Funding ends in 5 days! Signal boost or donate what you can!

"And then, in 2010, Marvel Comics presented a Spider-Man (the ‘Ultimate’ version) who was 13 years..."

“And then, in 2010, Marvel Comics presented a Spider-Man (the ‘Ultimate’ version) who was 13 years old and brown. To see Spider-Man pulling his mask over a tiny brown chin – to see a boy with short curly hair sticking to the ceiling of his bedroom— well, something happened. Dagim has been Spider-Man for two Halloweens in a row. He takes a bath with his Spider-Man and a toy killer whale. He has Spider-Man toothpaste and a Spider-Man toothbrush. If Spider-Man offered medical coverage, I think he would want that, too.
………….
I thought for a while that my son would never be interested in my comics. I was afraid they would just represent another club he couldn’t join: all those big-jawed white guys with their hair parted to the side. But thanks to Spider-Man, my son imagines himself jumping on giant robots and saving the city. I hear him doing that behind the door of his room.”

- NY Times: A Superhero Who Looks Like My Son (via fyeahlilbit2point0)

Yes. This.

(via youneedtolookatthis)

I got to meet Miles at a convention last summer. Not some kid in a costume. But Miles.

There’s this kid at our booth. I’d guess around 11 years old. He had been by the booth solo a couple times already. This time he had an adult.

“This one dad. This is the new Spider-Man.”
“Uh, huh.” his dad was singularly unimpressed with Spidey.
“No dad see,” and he points to one where Miles has the mask off, “He’s half black and half Mexican.” the kid is just beaming.
Dad starts to smile. This is about when a lady walks up, she puts her arm around dad and the kid says hi to mom.

Here’s the thing. This kid’s dad is Hispanic and mom is black. Miles was literally showing him he could be Spider-Man.

This isn’t me wanting to grow up and be Storm. This isn’t me wanting to be Captain America. Those are characters that are like me, kind of. But I have tons of characters that are “just like me”. That’s my white girl privilege.

Miles, beyond being a super awesome Spider-Man is a super awesome role model. This is a character that says, you exist AND you can be a hero.

Miles is the reason I am so passionate about representation in comics. Because I saw that little boy’s face and the pride in having himself matter enough, his family matters enough, to be shown in comics.

The kid and I had a lovely chat about Miles and how awesome he was. His dad asked for info on the comics so he could try & find the back issues for his son. It is pretty much my best memory of that convention.

I started reading Miles because I was interested in a different take on Spidey. I kept reading because Miles is AWESOME. I will continue reading so that kid keeps being able to see himself in the pages of a comic.

The New York Times is celebrating diversity in comics by highlighting LGBT characters and their allies. I was asked to contribute a drawing of three bisexual characters: Voodoo, Hercules, Ozymandias!

Other contributors:
Gay - Wiccan, Hulkling and Bunker by Luciano Vecchio
Lesbian - Samanya, Karolina Dean and Bling by Jamie Fay and David Delanty
Transgender - Xavin, Desire and Sir Ystin by Rey Arzeno
Allies - Batgirl, Dazzler and Kyle Rayner by Daniel McNea

Isn’t Bling! bisexual?

Roxy! Apparently she’s exclusively into lady’s now. I think. Could be wrong.

~~no victor though. hmmpf.~~

Yeaaah I kinda hope you’re wrong because that would be bullshit :/ Completely unsurprising, but still bullshit.

Yeah. I think that was Brian Wood’s doing in that Wolverine/Kid Omega mini. I left him a PM to let him know that Roxy had been identified as bi, but didn’t get a response.

ETA: “Allies”? OK, Kyle I guess I’ll buy due to the Winnick story, but do Dazzler and Batgirl qualify for just having queer friends or something?
