Have you met Bowie?

Bowie joins Momma Mish to discuss the troubles facing the trans community with health and fitness. We talk about eating a healthy diet for the right reasons, healthy habits that carry a big impact on your body, making sleep a priority, finding a fitness habit that works for you, avoiding putting unhealthy substances into your body; nicotine, excess alcohol, and even excessive caffeine and how it can take a toll on your health.

WHAT IS AN ALLY?

According to Webster’s New World Dictionary of the American Language, an ally is someone “joined with another for a common purpose.”

Being an ally with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) individuals is the process of working to develop individual attitudes, institutions, and culture in which LGBTQIA people feel they are valued. Coming up to International Transgender Day of Visibility, which is an annual event occurring on March 31 dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, the question is often asked “How can I be a better Ally?”

I am joined by Annie Nolan, aka ‘Uncanny Annie’, to discuss her views on Ally-ship and often each of us were standing up for the others community resulting an quite a bit of laughter.  She is an Australian mom blogger who rose to fame after a cheeky photo of her twin girls went viral and was viewed more than two million times in two days. She is the founder behind the parenting and lifestyle blog Uncanny Annie.

The post The One Where Annie Wants To Be A Better Transgender Ally appeared first on Trans P.O.V. (Transgender Point of View).

One of the things I love about women’s bodies are the imperfections. The scars, the stretch marks, moles, freckles, curves, our minds and the way we see the world, and the list keeps on going. Its why I am still so attracted to women even to this day. I wasn’t worried about perfect symmetry, I just wanted my body to be balanced and fill my malformed breasts to an appropriate size for my massive frame, and you know what? The Dr did just that. I went to an appointment with a Dr who listened to me and what I wanted. He could tell by our conversation that I was doing the right thing and up until they put me to sleep to the moment I stood in the surgery today for a follow up I was treated like the woman I am with care and concern for my needs.

I stood there topless in my bathroom looking in the mirror. Yes I have a tummy, and yes I have stretch marks, I have scars that have left me feeling unattractive for years, I saw every flaw and every unique feature across my body that told many stories. But I looked at my body and I thought how feminine I looked. I saw how beautiful my imperfect body is now that I look balanced and don’t care about the flaws saying fuck the stereotypical standards because I love myself and I am such a beautiful woman with her own stories to tell.

Thank you Dean for seeing this and helping me share my story XO

The post The one where Mama Mish gets interviewed – Part 2 appeared first on Trans P.O.V. (Transgender Point of View).

I am a woman. I just happen to be Transgender. I have done enough soul searching to understand this now.

I am also fortunate enough to be living somewhere with world class medical care for both mental and physical care. Over the years I have always paid attention to the way we interacted with one another which made me more aware of my wife’s struggles and potentially what our two daughters may experience and the way society and women shame other women. Which contributed to my views on body modifications.

Now I have never been an advocate of any plastic surgery in general. Sometimes I have asked, where does it stop? This is especially so since my transition because I know this does NOT make us MORE of a woman nor does it DEFINE who we are as women. But learning for myself it’s every woman’s right to feel however she does about her body, and to make changes accordingly.

It’s been harder separating the difference between what is Gender Dysphoria as part of being transgender and what is it me being a woman and uncomfortable with the way my clothes fit etc. It was important to me to understand the difference before taking any further steps.

So here I taking this next step for myself as a woman. In the end I have learned that cosmetic surgeries only become destructive to our identity and well-being when they are founded on emptiness and honored as fullness. I hope my children will learn from observing my actions and focus on the non-physical and learn from the positive ways I have approached body image.

I have come far as a woman, but I still do have a very long way to go and Dean Arcuri from the Informer wanted to capture this moment and help me share it.

You’ve probably never considered what it’s like to navigate the world as a trans person — but now, you can take a walk in their shoes.
