Accepting Donations!

Hey everyone,

Times have gotten rough for me, with endocrinologist appointments costing over $1000, and buying a new wardrobe and all new supplies, that I could really use some help financially. 

For those of you saying I should get a job or whatever, I already do have one, where I work as a resident assistant in my dorm full time. The catch is that it pays my tuition, and I get no extra spending money. I am also contracted so that I can only work up to 5 hours a week extra somewhere else. If I could I would honestly.

Also, in case any of my followers are worried that this will become a spam type thing, I promise it won’t. It’ll be business as usual, with this kind of post only showing up every few months. Nothing else will change! 

If you are willing to help me out and lend me a hand, please donate to sammylbackup@gmail.com on Paypal to get me that donation! In the mean time, I will think of ways to thank those who do donate, as a way to pay them back somehow! No nudes or sexual favors though, let’s stay classy.

Thanks again to all who will help me out on these hard times!

It really makes me sad, how everyone reacts to the photos, but not on the comment... Trans is beautiful! Let's cry it out loud!!!

What does a beautiful transgender person look like? Do they look like everyone else. Like the gender they closest identify with?

Show me beautiful trans person who doesn’t mimic or look like a cis person. Who’s beauty, though different, is unmistakably their own.

If I had my own mad way I’d like to champion that. To be seen and acknowledged in an instant as being both trans and beautiful.

We lack this as a people. A universal definition of “beautiful transgender” that doesn’t implicitly rely upon how much we don’t appear trans.

Loving YOURSELF should come first. You’re not your trans identity, looks, sexual orientation, etnicity, skin colour, religion, thoughts, words, name, body, opinions, interests etc. If you want to accept those kinds of things you should try and accept YOURSELF first and not things about you. In that order you will understand that you’re worth the best and the self acceptance of those kinds of things.

The time of being pushed aside and told to wait is over. Don’t accept the excuse that it is too radical to accept/protect/talk about trans*, that sexual orientation has to come first. All people under umbrella of  Gender and Sexual Minority deserve equality now. End of story.

Absolutely agreed!!! thx!

Friendly reminder that if you don’t support nonbinary folks, you do not support the LGBTQ+ community

Friendly reminder that if you don’t support trans* people who choose not to transition or conform to traditional gender roles, you do not support the LGBTQ+ community

Friendly reminder that if you don’t support or validate ace and aro folks, you do not support the LGBTQ+ community

Friendly reminder that if you fetishize wlw relationships, mlm relationships, or trans* people, you do not support the LGBTQ+ community

Friendly reminder that if you don’t support or validate all of the invisible orientations, you do not support the LGBTQ+ community

Friendly reminder that if you don’t support POC in the LGBTQ+ community, you do not support the LGBTQ+ community

Friendly reminder that if you treat questioning people as a joke or an inconvenience, you do not support the LGBTQ+ community

Friendly reminder that if you don’t stand up for LGBTQ+ people in the face of adversity, you do not support the LGBTQ+ community

If you do not stand behind each and every one of us, you stand behind none of us. Do not call yourself an ally.

I read this article about two years ago, and I haven’t forgotten it since. In fact, I’d still read it from time to time. The young man (Thomas Matt) who wrote the piece is truly a pioneer. I really can’t say enough awesome things about this article and its author. Well I guess, the fact that I never post other people’s work on my Tumblr is saying a lot. Please give this a read and share with people :) Let’s hope in the near future, more and more people will openly and proudly declare their love for their trans partners, and goddamnit I’ll finally have my happy ending and my secret Pinterest wedding album (wait… technically I could start that shit right now… Ok. brb)!

What an awful story... *omg* Would be impossible for me to stay that cool in that situation.

Trans job experiences

So went to interview for a job at Target because I need the work and thought they may be a little more trans friendly lol was hella wrong they made a big ass mess out of my name and stuff even after correcting them multiple times politely. They knew my name cause when they called for the interview that lady used my name right but litterally it was so bad on interview day they turned around to the other candidates and told them my birth name, making sure to emphasize it. If I was cis there would have never been a need to turn to them and say this is so and so. Like there was no need to do that, they just did it, along with a lot other shit like that to get under my skin. Rough guess over 30 people knew I was trans at this point from them making a scene out of my name with eachother. I stayed cool cause again need the work but yeah I was made assure I wasn’t gonna get this job lol and I was made very assure why I wasn’t gonna get this job. I joked with my friend after like yeah nope didn’t get this one and stuff lol. They told me they had interviews for next week too but sent me a rejection email next dayish. So basically fuck them if you think they give a fuck about trans, the lady even asked why I wanted to work there and I said because they seem trans friendly with the whole trans bathroom issue and stuff and she just chuckled like whatever. I’m not even saying I was the best candidate but I knew I didn’t have the job well before the interview even started.

Sometimes I feel like an alien because I think nobody can understand me. I just can’t understand myself either. These fools drive me crazy because it’s not accepted by the trans community to feel attraction to transwomen?

A little something to remember

Loving yourself and finding yourself is one of the most amazing things you can do for yourself. Remember no one is perfect but we can strive to be the best humans we can be an generate love an acceptance, and make life for those around us a little bit better

Give Us Roses While We’re Still Here Transgender Day of Remembrance // Nov. 20th

This is just a poster I made the other day. I love all of my trans* family, and I hope you take the day for remembrance & self care.

things cis people need to stop being surprised by:

trans people dating each other instead of them

non-straight trans people

trans people not wanting surgery

trans people existing in general
