Please Help Homeless Trans Women Serving Our Homeless Squatter Community Raise $150 to Buy Water and Propane for our Neighbors
March 3rd 2024
Tumblr media
My girlfriend and I are two transgender homeless women living in Slab City, a homeless squatter town in the middle of the desert.
We live in one of the poorest communities in the United States. There are no utility companies and many people don't have water or fuel to cook with if they don't get it themselves.
Our camp is dedicated to helping our neighbors and our community. We offer free water and to our neighbors for drinking, cooking, and heating.
To fill both our water tanks it costs $80, and to fill our propane tanks it costs $40. To get a ride to the store to fill the tanks costs $30.
We don't have an income outside of whatever donations we raise and so if we can't raise money, we can't help people.
Please help us raise $150 to help our friends and our neighbors maintain access to water and propane.

So I was approved for top surgery!
But given my current situation, I'm out of a job and commission work hasn't been fruitful. So I'll be taking commissions for a discounted price! Please reblog this if you can and maybe consider commissioning me!

hi tumblr 10
hi. no art today. ik, the "hi tumblr"s are mostly art, that's my bad. but i need to get shit out,, nothing heavy just. yeah.
okay. look. im sick and tired of seeing furry, therian, lgbtq, etc etc hate. i hate it. i dont care if any of the listed killed your entire family and looked you in the eyes evily, that doesn't mean all of them are bad and you should hate them. sure, some people are weird, especially furries, but not all of them. im a therian and lgbtq myself and im not afraid to say that. if you don't support that, get off my and my friends blogs.
ive seen furry videos, and they're great and you look through the comments and see stuff like "go find your father" or "ew furry" or anything negative like that. makes me angry and i want to appear in their house and commit crimes.
remember when i mentioned i was a therian? people have called me a furry so many times, even just for normal people things. i need my hands but also my pencil? hold it in my mouth. but im called a furry for that. somebody playfully bonks me and i go AAAA in a silly way, and im called a furry. that doesn't even make sense. now when it's actually more animalistic, just slightly, like catching yourself on all fours, your called a furry. like erm. excuse me. if i threw you down a flight of stairs and you catch yourself on all fours, does that mean i can point at you and call you a furry? no, because id go to jail for attempted murder.
lgbtq+. what did we do to you.
what did queers and furries ever do to you for you to hate them? did you grow up being taught we're bad? because if you did, we aren't. here's a clearer example, credits to cheezyfellow; if a tree falls on you, you can't resort to hating every single tree. it was just one, and none of the others did anything to you. that's like furries and queers. some furries are a little bit weird, a queer probably killed your family, but that doesn't mean all are bad!
i know the little mention of therians here. we're not too known, and the first thing that comes to anyone's mind when a human wants to be an animal, or is like an animal, is a furry. i dont understand the hatered. we didn't do anything.
enough of ranting about the hate. hi, furries, therians, queers, everybody! i love you guys /p, you are so welcome in this blog, if anyone bullies you for who you are, come into my askbox, give me their name and address, and we'll go give them a fate worse than death together. you guys are amazing- if you got this far, even if you aren't one of the three but support them, why don't you go take care of yourself? go get a drink of water, get some food, love yourself for who you are. people that don't support you guys can go explode. dont listen to them. you're supported, this blog is a safe place for you guys <3

With my “Dad being supportive about me being trans” post blowing up, I figured I share him being supportive about my bi/pan/queerness.
I was like 16 when I came out to him. I remember being so anxious- I had never seen him be homophobic, but he was also an old Baptist Boomer from the Bible Belt, so I was nervous. Plus, at that time I was dating one of my best friends (we are both AFAB). So I came out and explained I was dating someone. I fumbled, struggling to get it out, and he just went, “It’s [REDACTED], isn’t it?”
He then explained that he kinda knew I was queer and was dating my best friend in secret, but he didn’t want to push me to come out before I was ready. He wanted me to do it on my own terms and just hoped I’d feel comfortable enough to share it with him.
Me being queer didn’t stop him from being an Embarrassing Dad tho, so it’s not uncommon for him to be like “I saw someone you’d find attractive today lol.” And either show me a picture if they were some celebrity/ athlete or describe them if it was just someone around town. The worst part honestly is that he’s always right. Please, I don’t want to be perceived like this by my father. You shouldn’t know My Type so well. I perish.
The closest he’s ever come to being homophobic is when he was teaching me how to drive and I made way too many, “But I’m too queer to go straight!!” Jokes.

To my fellow queers of all kinds, you matter, and I am so glad that you exist. I am so proud of you for discovering who you are, for being brave enough to embrace your identity, and for trying your best each day. You are making amazing strides, big or little, and progress is progress, no matter how small it may seem. I am proud of you for you. I am happy that you exist, and please know, whether you are fighting on the other side of the globe from me or are two houses down, that you are not alone in the struggle. It's impossibly hard, but we will make it through. You are strong. You are brave. You are so incredibly wonderful as you are. I am so proud of you. I am so happy that you're here. We can and will do this together. I believe in you. ❤️

Sometimes acceptance is instant, sometimes it can be tentative and take time, and sometimes it never comes. Whatever the outcome, know you're incredibly awesome for coming out, and you're absolutely deserving of living your best authentic life. Jamie Raines — The T in LGBT
just a little reminder for everyone:D

URGENT EVACUATION FOR LGBT+ ACTIVISTS
"On 30th November Russia’s Supreme Court recognized the “international LGBT movement” as an “extremist organization”. It implies up to 10 year prison sentences, especially for LGBTQ activists and human rights defenders, the scale of planned repressions is inpredictable. 
We decided to urgently expand the program of evacuation of LGBTQ activists under persecution from Russia.
Today we have experienced a dramatic increase in the number of requests. EQUAL PostOst receives up to 12 requests per hour, we see that people are panicking."

Support Your Locally Grown Gay
Hey guys! So, I normally don't make posts like these but Elias is like one of my best friends and I promised to help him out so -!
My friend, Eli, was recently scheduled to get top surgery - which is very much needed for his mental health and transition - unfortunately, Medicaid decided that they weren't going to cover the costs even though this is a medically necessary procedure.
From his Go Fund Me description:
My name is Elias Little, and I'm a 23 year old trans man. I've been living socially as a man for 8 years, and I've been on testosterone for 5. Although it would help my mental health and my life in general immensely, Medicaid has decided that top surgery is just an elective surgery and won't pay for it. Because of that, I have to ask for your help. The goal of $11,000 is to help pay for the surgery, anesthesia, and any other medical costs that may come up such as prescription pain medication. I'm lucky enough to have a surgeon that will work with me in a city that's only an hour away, so I don't need to worry too much about traveling costs. Any donation helps, and sharing the page if you can’t donate is also a huge help! Thank you for your support in helping me become my true self.
Eli is an incredible person with a kind soul! I know we're all a bit strapped for funds in this capitalistic hell, but reblogs or donations or just sharing so maybe he can get a little bit of help would be amazing. I can 100% vouch for him, he deserves this.

Support your queers <3

Please Help Homeless Trans Women Serving Our Homeless Squatter Community Raise $110 to Refill Our Water Tanks and Propane Tanks
February 13th 2024
Tumblr media
My girlfriend and I are two transgender homeless women living in Slab City, a homeless squatter town in the middle of the desert.
We live in one of the poorest communities in the United States. That means no water, electrical, or gas utility -- even if people had the money to pay for them.
Our camp is dedicated to helping our neighbors and our community. As such, some of our services we provide are fresh water and free propane for heating and cooking.
Our water tanks are empty and cost $40 each to fill. Our propane tanks cost $25 per each two and $15 for the ride to the exchange.
We need $135 to pay for everything we need.
We don't have an income outside of whatever donations we raise and so if we can't raise money, we can't help people.
Please help us raise $135 to fund us buying water and propane for our community!

Beyond the Closet: Navigating the Coming Out Journey
At a pivotal point in the lives of many queer individuals, the decision to reveal their sexual orientation or identity to those they hold dear emerges. The hope and wish are for a warm embrace and profound understanding from our closest circles. Unfortunately, for myself and numerous others I've encountered, this aspiration doesn't always align with reality. Sometimes, the disclosure leads to heated arguments, denial, or the heartbreaking prospect of being disowned. It's undeniably distressing and overwhelming when those we care about don't readily accept us. You might feel adrift or forsaken, but amidst this challenge, there are coping mechanisms to explore and a supportive community eager to embrace and understand you. In today's post, I'll delve into these topics and highlight resources that can serve as a beacon of guidance and solace.
Tip 1:
If you find yourself in a living situation where your family doesn't embrace your identity or orientation, they might express condescending and shaming remarks. One common phrase I often encounter is, "I didn't raise you this way." When it's safe to do so, I advocate for explaining that identifying a certain way or having a queer-aligned romantic or sexual preference doesn't alter the essence of who you are. You're still the same person they have loved and cared for at your core. Emphasize that your choices, such as a name change or going on a date with someone they might not approve of, doesn't erase the fact that you remain their child, whom they cherished before this realization. Your sexual orientation or gender identity doesn't encapsulate every detail about you; just as a heterosexual person isn't solely defined by being straight, your identity is just one aspect of your multifaceted self.
Tip 2:
Choosing to limit or sever ties with family members or longtime friends can be an excruciating and challenging decision, yet at times, it becomes essential for your mental and physical well-being. When you're in the presence of someone who exhibits hate, bigotry, or outright abuse toward you following the revelation of your identity or orientation, it's entirely within your rights to distance yourself from that person, either temporarily—allowing space for them to self-educate—or permanently. It's an agonizing realization, acknowledging the loss of someone significant, but remember, there will be others in your life who will unconditionally love and embrace you, regardless of your LGBTQIA+ identity. Surrounding yourself with a community that supports and uplifts you for who you are is crucial for your well-being and happiness.
Tip 3:
It's not uncommon for heterosexual individuals to ask questions about your identity in an attempt to understand and support you better. Respectfully addressing queries helps foster mutual understanding. However, there's a clear line where the inquiry becomes invasive. Nobody should feel obligated to divulge details about their sex life to friends, colleagues, or family, and it's equally unsettling to field inappropriate questions about your body or transitioning if that's part of your journey. In such instances, it's essential not to tolerate invasive questions. A firm but polite response like "I don't feel comfortable discussing that" or "That's an inappropriate question, and I prefer not to talk about it" can assert your boundaries.
For those who wish to address such questions with a touch of assertiveness, a response like, "Would you ask that of anyone else?" or "It's not my responsibility to educate you on this" can be effective. It's vital to remember that regardless of how many questions you answer, some individuals may remain entrenched in their beliefs. It's not your obligation to single-handedly change their perspective, as they have the opportunity to research independently. Remind them kindly that resources like Google exist, and it doesn't have feelings. Setting boundaries is crucial for your comfort and well-being, and it's perfectly acceptable to maintain your privacy when confronted with invasive inquiries.
Resource 1:
For individuals navigating a difficult headspace after facing ridicule or rejection from their families, or for those seeking an outlet to vent or in need of emotional support, I highly recommend reaching out to the Trevor Project Text Line. This invaluable resource offers round-the-clock support for people experiencing emotional stress or crises. What's remarkable about the Trevor Project Text Line is its unwavering commitment to providing a safe, welcoming space, specifically designed for those within the LGBTQ+ community. They approach every issue with utmost respect and understanding, ensuring a compassionate and queer-friendly environment for anyone seeking help. The Trevor Project Text Line stands as a beacon of support, ready to assist those in need at any hour.
Resource 2:
It's not uncommon for our loved ones to grapple with understanding our LGBTQIA+ status, yet some genuinely wish to learn and gain a broader perspective. For those family members or friends eager to become more educated about the queer community, I highly recommend introducing them to the Strong Family Alliance. This website is a treasure trove of invaluable resources, offering free parent guides, insightful testimonials from real individuals, and a wealth of other supportive materials. Strong Family Alliance is a comprehensive platform that fosters understanding and support for families and friends looking to enhance their knowledge and support for their LGBTQIA+ loved ones. It's a fantastic starting point for anyone seeking education and insight into the queer community. To sum up, the journey of coming out can indeed be challenging, but I assure you, it holds immeasurable worth in the long run. Embracing and living your genuine, authentic life, according to your terms, yields one of the most liberating and fulfilling sensations you'll experience in this lifetime. Therefore, I encourage coming out when you feel comfortable to do so. Your authenticity is a beacon of empowerment that will illuminate your path toward a life lived genuinely and unapologetically. Until next time, keep living your truth and shining brightly in the spectrum of life. Take care, stay fabulous, and keep spreading love in every hue of the rainbow.

Okay, so I just saw something that made me frustrated and even kinda mad. It's about lesbians, trans and stuff. I'm gonna give a little 'speech' abt this, maybe more abt the trans stuff.
So, here's my humble opinion:
First of all, I think that the people REALLY have to understand that gender and sex is NOT the same thing. Human's anatomy doesn't have anything to do with how YOU identificate yourself.
Gender is a social construction and that isn't a surprising thing. I think that when people talk about this is really, really important that they had clear the difference between gender and sex (now I'll try to explain it with my words, I'm a shit explaining but I'm gonna try and express it as well as I can).
Sex is biological, with the types being female, male and intersex. While gender identity is naturally much broader, although I think that society and the human need to pigeonhole all kinds of things (orientation, gender, etc.) for a kind of order that I don't quite understand if I'm honest (but not I'm going to talk about that now) is something essential in this too. Something important from my point of view is that sex cannot be changed NATURALLY. Nowadays there are treatments, operations and professional surgeries to change the sex, the voice or in general the physical appearance in order for the person to feel much more comfortable and clear, like themselves. What I'm getting at with this is that sex does not change naturally, but the perception of our gender identity throughout our lives CAN change, and it is something completely natural. I really would like that one day society can be much more open to this and that they don't look at people who are not cisgender as strange things. First of all because it's none of your business, and second because it's completely normal.
I also wanna make clear that this is my opinion, my perception of all of this and I wanna express it with respect as always. Sorry if something can be misunderstood, I tried to explain it in a way kinda nice (?
I end this text by telling all trans people (both binary and non-binary) that you are completely valid. That someone who is biologically male but does not identify as cisgender (taking as an example who identifies as a woman) can easily be a lesbian, and the same with people who are biologically female but do not identify as women can be gay and valid.
Xoxo my fellow LGBTQ+ ppl. <3
