My long overdue tribute to Nex Benedict.

I'm no poet, nor am I a composer, rewriting this song I love was the least I could do for a teen who was brutally robbed of their life.

Pour the wine and raise a cup

Drink up, siblings, you know why

And for dear Nex, please spill a drop

A new angel soars in the sky 

Some birds sing when the sun shines bright

My praise is not for them

But the one who sang in the dead of night

I raise my cup to him

My sorrow is immeasurable 

It stretches far and wide

Perhaps I will forever mourn

This child who shouldn't have died

Some flowers bloom

Where the green grass grows

My praise is not for them

But the one who bloomed in the bitter snow

I raise my cup to him

I raise my cup and drink it up

I raise it high and drink it dry

To darling Nex and all of us

Goodnight, siblings, goodnight.

Adapted from "We Raise Our Cups" and "I Raise My Cup to Him" from the musical Hadestown by Anaïs Mitchell.

Happy tdov to fat trans people. 🏳️‍⚧️ Biggest thing that helped me as a trans kid was seeing older fat trans people. There were a lot of really irritating "advice" posts going around early in my time on the internet with a lot of misinformation in them, but one that I constantly saw (in addition to people claiming you should wear your pants rediculously low or only wear button ups) were posts saying you had to lose weight to transition. Can confidently confirm that is completely untrue. 👍

reblog to save a life!

I learned recently from family members that EMTs and paramedics are having trouble right now with people in accidents refusing to say whether they are biologically male or female, stating it’s “none of their business” and “doesn’t matter.”

Friends, IT DOES MATTER! Male and female bodies ARE biologically different and can exhibit similar symptoms for different reasons, and if the EMT doesn’t know which you are, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TREAT YOU because they can’t be sure what’s wrong! This is not a matter of gender politics, it is a matter of life and death! PLEASE, be honest with your healthcare provider, especially in an emergency! THEY DO NEED TO KNOW!

lesbians who are terfs will never make any sense to me crying about the supposed exclusivity of the “female experience” like my brother in christ she experienced an othered, lonely, confusing childhood where she was made to feel inadequate in her gender, sexuality, or both just the same as you and instead of letting this unify you against patriarchy you just enforce it on other people to maintain the sliver of “power” you think you have. how do u not see how dumb this is oh my god

i think my favorite thing about what testosterone has done for me is how much it has changed my personality.

but i never changed into an “angry violent angsty monster” like everyone said i would.

im a new person, in the best way possible.

i used to be extremely reserved. i never said what i wanted, and didn’t care about anything. i had no motivation, and i was generally just a bummer. i didn’t talk to anyone, and didn’t feel at home with myself.

i was told people forgot i existed often.

now i’m happy. i’m talkative, and i love going out and having new experiences. i walk with my head high, and i’m assertive. i’m optimistic, and i love myself.

because now, i love my body and my voice.

you don’t realize how much key aspects of yourself strain from your own misery and hatred for yourself, until it’s gone.

The funniest thing is that the stereotype that trans people will become less aromantic/asexual once they transition is false for me. I became even more aroace.

Raha Ajoudani is an Iranian 17 year old trans women and activist who has been arrested by the Islamic Republic for protesting for her basic human rights. Because she's still early in her transition, she will be tried as a gay man, which is punishable with execution.

The global LGBTQ community HAS to have her back now. Say her name to save her life. Blow her up on every social media platform you can thing of, make tweets, share on ig, anything. Make her viral.

everytime i explain that i was aware of my gender identity at 5, I get ignorant cis people telling me, "I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING AT 5 SO YOU MUST BE LYING." Growing up being trans without acceptance and care is very traumatic. I was very vocal about being a boy and I was ignored and thrown to the side to deal with it on my own. female puberty made it 10x worse and 10x more traumatic. Maybe if we just accepted trans kids, they wouldn't be so traumatized growing up as trans kids. stop saying kids can't know. I knew who i was before i even knew what trans people were. kids are not dumb.
