Hello! My name is Lena . I am a student. I am writing my term paper “associations about managers”. I have to get public opinion. Please, answer some questions and you’ll help me (just what you personally think, your associations):
1. Behave like a Manager, that is(continue)...
2.Work like a Manager, that is(continue)...
3. What features do belong to the Manager?
4. What are your associations with the word "Manager"?

So i know this community isn't that active, and that generally it contains political rather than personal discussion, but as i was looking for an appropriate audience for my current question i found this in the comm. info:
"How to maintain a feminist identity and community ties while transitioning from one gender to another".
This is something i struggle with a lot. I greatly enjoy the freedom i have to organize/network with women, genderqueer/variant etc on issues of gender oppression. I have a deapseated fear that by transitioning beyond my current "genderqueer" status to "transmasculine" i'll begin to co-opt male-privilege and lose my stake in feminist circles. This is obviously, a personal emotional thing, and not a rational political argument. I was wondering if any transmasculine folx or allies have anything to say about this personally, and if they ID has feminist- how that played out in their transition.
This is a big component of my questioning/confusion, and I'd greatly appreciate it.

Born in the wrong body
By James Fletcher
BBC News
Doctors in Britain are reviewing guidelines for the treatment of people under 18 with gender dysphoria. This is a condition where someone is born one sex but feels they are really the other. A key issue is the age at which young people can be prescribed drugs which pause puberty.
Around 1 in 4,000 people in the UK are receiving help for gender dysphoria
Sitting in her kitchen, 16 year old Nikki (name changed to protect her identity) looks and acts like any other teenage girl.
She gossips with her mum, teases her younger brothers, and giggles as she texts her new boyfriend.
The only difference is that Nikki was born biologically a boy.
"I've always felt like a girl," she says. As a child, she dressed up in girls' clothing, played with girls' toys, and gravitated towards other girls.
As she got older, Nikki realised there was a difference between what she felt and her body.
"It used to make me feel ill and so horribly down," she remembers. "I'd just wish that I wasn't around. Everything to do with me being male was horrible, I just couldn't stand it."
When she was seven Nikki was diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Her parents initially tried to steer her towards accepting she was a boy, but by eight she was living as a girl at home, and by nine was going to school as a girl.
"I loved it," she says, "people picked on me a lot, but it was amazing in my eyes because I was allowed to show everyone who I was."

What's the origin of this symbol? I came across it tonight while googling "feminist symbols", but none of the pages it shows up on leads to any answers, and I can't seem to zero in on a good descriptive search string to learn more about it.
( this here )
I've never seen it before. Is it new(ish)? Associated with any particular group or flavor of feminism?
For anyone who can't/doesn't want to view it: it's the standard Venus symbol, and a (nude?) woman's silhouette, from the waist up, is leaning out of the circle with one arm raised.
(And if there's a good resource out there indexing all kinds of female/women's/feminist symbols, icons, etc. and explaining their origins, I would really appreciate a link. So far all I can find are lists of queer symbols which include a few relevant feminist entries.)

I live near Cleveland, and am looking for a physician or endocrinologist who works with trans people and who does informed consent (i.e., doesn't require a letter from a therapist.) I don't feel the need for talk therapy--I've dealt with this own my own over the course of several years--and really am just ready to get started on hormones.
Does anyone know of anything in the Cleveland/NE Ohio area?
I don't have health insurance, so cost is a factor (though not necessarily a prohibitive one.)

Transsexual Jesus sparks protests
About 300 protesters held a candlelit protest outside a Glasgow theatre over the staging of a play which portrays Jesus as a transsexual.
The protest was held outside the Tron Theatre, where Jesus Queen of Heaven, in which Christ is a man who wants to become a woman, is being staged.
It is part of the Glasgay! arts festival, a celebration of Scotland's gay, bi-sexual and transsexual culture.
Festival organisers said it had not intended to incite or offend anyone.
Jesus Queen of Heaven is on at the Tron in Glasgow until Saturday
The Christian protesters gathered outside the theatre ahead of the opening night of the production on Tuesday.
Jesus Queen of Heaven, which runs until Saturday, is written and performed by transsexual playwright Jo Clifford.
The demonstrators sang hymns and waved placards.
One read: "Jesus, King of Kings, Not Queen of Heaven."
Another said: "God: My Son Is Not A Pervert."
Festival organisers described the banners as "fairly provocative" and said they could be viewed as inciting homophobia.
Glasgay! producer Steven Thomson said: "Jesus Queen of Heaven is a literary work of fiction exploring the artists own personal journey of faith as a transgendered person.
"Glasgay! supports the right to freedom of expression and offers audiences a diverse view of LGBT life.
"This work is not intended to incite or offend anyone of any belief system, however, we respect your right to disagree with that opinion.
He added: "We welcome genuinely interested audience members who wish to understand the artistic intention behind this work."
Glasgay! is described as "Scotland's annual celebration of queer culture" and is funded by the Scottish Arts Council, Event Scotland, Glasgow City Marketing Bureau and Glasgow City Council.
