The manga is getting a gorgeous hard cover release as well. The anime was good but the end of it especially was a let down. I don't know if they actually had anyone one with trans experience on the staff.
Cool. Reminded me that I still need to watch Albert Nobbs.
Is this the same set?

I'm not a cultural anthropologist or gender studies scholar, I've got the same Google you do. If you're serious about finding well-sourced academic articles, starting with Susan Stryker's 2008 "Transgender History" and going from there would be what I'd suggest. Dr. Stryker is a gender studies prof at Arizona.

God damn, I'm sorry.
Even my favorite old chaplain struggled a bit to understand trans people. He just couldn't really wrap his head around how sex and gender and sexual orientation interact together as related but separate things. But he figured wtf, don't have to 100% understand a situation to be kind and welcoming.
He actually wrote a memoir, "Life in Paradox" by father Paul Murray, that was published shortly before he died a few years ago. He was a unique and admirable man.
>Can you cite anything here? I have never heard of any of this, and evolutionary psychology was the focus of my major (anthropology, with a minor in psych (not that our psych department got anywhere near evolutionary psychology, mind you)).
There is a pretty big split in evolutionary psychology at the moment, and it's been this way for at least 10 years now. I'm not sure when you were studying, but if it was recently then it might not have focused on the divide.
Some good resources:
Sense and Nonsense: Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Behaviour - Laland and Brown.
From Mating to Mentality: Evaluating Evolutionary Psychology - in particular, this section: Evolutionary Psychology and the challenge of adaptive explanation where the authors discuss the difference between Evolutionary Psychology and evolutionary psychology.
>I.. don't agree?
The idea that the popular evo psychologists (Tooby, Cosmides, Pinker, etc) were promoting cartoon Darwinism, and fatally misunderstanding evolutionary biology, is a well-known problem in EP. This is the only explanation for why they cling to naive adaptationism, and fail to demonstrate the evolutionary pathway of any behavior.
Even assuming that all evolved behaviors/traits are adaptations, they still don't meet the criteria laid out by Williams (1966). They come up with the believable story for it providing an advantage, and then (if they're lucky) they find that it's a cultural universal. But then they stop there. They don't check to see whether the cultural universal is a result of some genetic or evolutionary mechanism, or whether it's a product of learning (remembering that cultural universals can come about through species-specific constraints).
I think FFS will do more than that for your brow. FFS will do more than just remove the ridge above your eyes. It will actually move your whole forehead bone back.
Here is my profile immediately before and two weeks after FFS: http://imgur.com/a/ARJyt#0
They don't just remove the ridge, the whole forehead bone was cut and moved back.
Do you need this? Ultimately, that's up to you. Just be aware of what the surgery actually does. I think your photoshop my not reflect this. I suggest you read this book. Before you plop down $14k on surgery, at least read through this:

I get the feeling that some people identify with gender more than others.
For many transgender people, there isn't as much of a feeling of dysphoria, so much as a feeling of improvement and wellness in their lives. Such as the case of Zinnia Jones, who, if I'm not mistaken, didn't have much of any experience with gender dysphoria, despite being transgender. And some transwomen may feel even less of a difference than her.
Just the same, I'm sure many cisgender people, don't feel particularly comfortable being male or female or any gender, while not being dysphoria, only socially alienated by their gender roles(or in this case, their bodies in relation to their gender roles, or perhaps some of the downsides of having a certain body, like periods or breasts). And it isn't simply their cisprivilege making them finding difficulty to relate to transgender people, and they don't see being cisgender as any more valid or normal than being transgender. And see themselves as individuals, rather than genders. And don't see their gender as any more a part of who they are than their ethnicity.
I personally don't identify as cisgender. I also don't actually identify as a transman or transwoman most of the time, either. I've always felt rather gender confused, most days I feel genderqueer or androgynous or genderfluid, but sometimes I can identify as a man, and sometimes I can identify as a woman. But I can definitely understand how she feels, especially about the breasts and hips and getting periods and having the overwhelming, horrifying feelings of social expectations weighing upon me heavily and feeling anxious. Furthermore, I don't actually know why she's cisgendered, and I'm not. I don't know where it comes from.
For other people, they may be certain they were "born that way", but I've never been certain of where either my sexuality or gender identity feelings come from. And I definitely know that social alienation with gender roles are something that I associate with both of them. I think this may help me in understanding where anti-gender-identity radical feminists are coming from, perhaps? Having any kind of gender identity to me almost feels like some kind of post-traumatic stress disorder, at times. Maybe I'm agender? Maybe my gender fluctuates? I don't know.
I have noticed many radical feminists who not only think that being transgender is invalid, but also being cisgender. And that having a gender identity, cisgender, or transgender, is a social construct that would disappear if patriarchy went away. And that there would be no cisgender or transgender people if sexism went away. I can at least empathize with this, as they find being cisgender equally meaningless and undesirable and aren't singling out transgender people. And neurosexism is still a horrible and promiment cultural force to reinforce gender roles and stereotypes. And many neurosexists try to use transgender people as evidence that gender stereotypes are biological in origin.
What I don't like is when some of these radical feminists see transwomen as a patriarchal invasionary force in women's spaces. And that a vagina is required to be a feminist. No matter whether feminism will decrease instances of gender identity in all human beings or not, the fact of the matter is that many are purposely misgendering and invaliditing the very real experiences of trans-individuals of dysphoria, that isn't going to be quelled by being told a bit of "gender identity is a social construct". Transgender people know how they feel, and being told that gender identity is a social construct isn't going to change that. And the behavior of some radical feminists, rather than being anti-gender, is actually just anti-transgender. Misgendering people, and actively working against their rights. Treating transwomen with distrust and disdain. It is unjustified, cruel, bigoted, and privileged. By treating feminism as a club for people with vaginas, they're propagating separatism, essentially, and the gender roles and identity some of them supposedly seek to abolish. As well as, refusing and doing harm to fellow women, just because they were born with different genitalia. This "women-born-women" thing is horribly toxic.
Also, whether you're a cisgender or transgender radical feminist who believes that gender identity is a social construct that should be eliminated. Or are a transgender activist who is very much against this idea. Both groups can and should agree, that gender roles, absolutely must be destroyed. And are extremely harmful and toxic to all human cultures.
But misgendering and refusing people's gender identities isn't going to cause anything but harm. And some radical feminists really need to stop their toxic transphobic behavior. As well, I would like to see a lot of the animosity on both sides of this extremely sensitive biological gender debate subside. No one should tell radical feminists they need to die, and they have no need to have a gender identity if they don't want to have one. It's very clear that many radical feminists are uncomfortable with the very concept of having a gender identity. And they shouldn't be expected to have one if they don't want one. But just the same, they shouldn't forcefully push this on transgender people like many are.
A higher degree of tolerance and empathy on both sides would be very nice.
