Hey all, I was forced to leave high school and my home behind in early 2023 as a minor due to severe transphobia and abuse from family. After escaping, I was taken in by someone who was essentially exploiting my situation.

Eventually I found safety with a QTPOC household who helped me secure longer term housing.

This fundraiser would help me afford things such as rent, food, medical expenses and gender affirming care.

I’m currently saving up for gender affirming surgery as well as a necessary dental procedure.

Please consider supporting or sharing if you’re able to, it truly makes a difference and would mean a lot to me!

(Please Reblog 🙏)

(Feel free to send a message with any questions.)

Note: I’m aware that there are sc@mmers out there. This is why I’m encouraging people to send me a message, or look at the Ko-Fi link which clearly shows that my support network is made up of real people.

Fish Flag

Original Flag, Inspiration, and Palette by @estrogenism (Thank you for the permission to edit this flag!)

What does Fish mean?

Fish is a black exclusive term for a femme lesbian. This label was first recorded as a counterpart the label 'Stud' in a Masters of Arts thesis titled, 'A Study of a Public Lesbian Community' by Ethel Sawyer. Black masculinity is to Stud as Black femininity is to Fish.

The Flag: Symbols and Colors

School of Black Fish: In the original flag I found on my dash, estrogenism uses an image of a tropical fish to represent the body diversity among black femmes. I decided to go with a school of fish to represent the community among black femmes. Initially, I wanted the school to look like a crescent moon to represent femininity further, but I wasn't fuckin' with it.

Colors:

The darkest purple: Womanism (a feminist school of thought centered around the black experience)

2nd darkest purple: Black sapphicism

2nd lightest purple: Black sapphic history

Lightest purple: Unity between all fish (trans, cis, intersex, aspec, arospec etc)

Lightest pink: Subversion of femininity

2nd Lightest Pink: Vulnerability (????)

Orangey-Pink: Persistence

Red: Love

A Public Study of a Lesbian Community by Ethel Sawyer (This study was done by a heterosexual woman. Due to the time it is from, harmful stereotypes of both studs and fish are portrayed in this thesis. These misconceptions are incredibly dated.)

Note: Based on the reading that I have done (Including the original thesis itself), some bisexual women were involved in the lesbian bar culture and identified with the label Fish. Out of the 7 fish interviewed by Sawyer, 2 out of 7 (28%) enjoyed sex with men. That being said I don’t mind or care if black bisexual femmes use this flag. But please understand the difference between presenting femininely and femme culture within the sapphic context (specifically butchfemme/studfemme/stud-fish community) before using this label.

THIS IS THE FIRST FLAG I MADE SO PLEASEEEE BE KIND

Hi, beans and sprouts! My best friend Sammy, a Latine nonbinary transfem, could really use some help. They've been dealing with a lot of stressful and scary stuff, so I'd be so grateful if y'all could throw some spare cash their way, even if it's just some change or only $1. Here's what they said:

"Hey y’all. I’ve had multiple medical situations arise in the last few weeks, and now I’m short on rent by quite a bit. If you can help me at all, I’d be willing to exchange any help with an appropriate tarot reading."

Contact Sammy for a tarot reading here!

Help a QTPOC with moving costs!

Hey y'all, i've been having some financial trouble between getting into a car accident right before going out of town and suddenly having no manager at my job— I'm at a huge disadvantage with my low paying job and no car to pick up freelance work, and now i'm having to pay for moving costs on top of that.

I'm trying to raise $1000 for now to cover my first month of rent, deposit, and old fees from my last apartment so I can continue to live here after I got approved on the condition that I pay them off. If anyone can help at all, even $5 would make a difference. I don't have parents that can help support me or any real savings, so this is all I can do.

My links are at the bottom, but if you can't give, please share! You might be the reason someone helps me out of a really tough situation. 💚

GOAL: $0/1000
