The HRC published a free pdf Safer Sex for Trans Bodies
last year and it’s by and for members of the transgender community. It covers topics from masturbation
to talking about sex to HRT along with comprehensive information on
safe sex.
They also provide more resources at the end for further information
Trans people have unique histories, cultures, and experiences. Our sexualities are constructed in media as heteronormative and monogamous, contrary to the lived experiences of most trans people. As a community, we need to be represented fairly and accurately. Queerness and trans identities are inseparable. Our collective accomplishments as a queer and trans community have been revolutionary and have the potential to change the world.

This is a special discussion from the Guardian between five young trans people about transgender sex and sexuality. This is tied to a week-long generation Y takeover in the paper and online. This discussion was organised in collaboration with All About Trans, an outreach project aimed at improving trans representation in the media.
This podcast contains strong language and frank discussion throughout.
I don’t know why it took me so long to get around to posting this. A friend linked me to it and I went into the video skeptical as hell, waiting for some factual hiccup, but no; it was just right.
As an agendered person being in the public eye, I get a shit-ton of feedback confusing gender with sex with sexuality with etc., etc. Not only was the video nice enough to differentiate all of these terms, but it even included the possibility of being “neither,” which is often lacking from these discussions.
So, please watch, share, and educate! Whether you are or know someone that is a gender- or sexual-minority, or simply know nothing about the topic yourself, it only takes 3 minutes and 49 seconds to be that much more of an educated and awesome person.
