#supportive environment

[our-trans-youth-experience]

libraries are so important, I befriended the librarian in charge of teen activities and the teen space and she is SO kind and accepting, I gave her some hints before I came out to her and she was a little surprised but so supportive, it's good to have a safe person that's an adult since most adults around me are bigots.

Libraries (and librarians) are so cool! I'm the same, the local library near my school has been super supportive and accommodating of both disabled and queer youth, which has been really helpful for me :)

I have seen a lot of hate going around today, and it will most likely be going around for a while. The events of the election were major, but we will survive.

And if I can make surviving easier for at least one person, then I will. So I wish to give some love to those who are being hated on right now with no one trying to understand them. (Any trump supporters are not on the list of people I will defend. Politely, please leave my blog and this post alone). But many non Trump supporters are receiving hate without anyone trying to understand their reasoning.

So, I am sending love to those who voted for a third party in an attempt to get a policy to gain attention. While third parties don't win, if enough support it, one of the main two usually adopts the policy. (You may have been misguided, but your intent was good.)

Sending love to those who didn't vote because they were in a controlling/abusive environment and were too scared to. Please keep fighting and surviving.

Sending love to those who were forced to vote for Trump because of the people they live with. You are not a bad person. I hope one day you can defend and stand for your beliefs.

Sending love to those who didn't vote because politics would negatively impact their mental health and tried to put themself first. Do not blame yourself. You did good trying to put yourself first. I'm sorry that things will only get harder for you.

Sending love to anyone who didn't vote for Kamala for a valid reason. If you didn't make your choice out of spite, then you are not a bad person. It is okay. Do not blame yourself. You can accept responsibility, but don't think this is all your fault. Keep the ones who voted for Trump accountable. They did this with no regard for the outcome.

Stay safe, my dears.

We are plants.

We need water,

the sun and air,

room to grow and be rooted.

And sometimes we need to be re-potted.

We experience droughts

and bugs wriggling into our space.

The sun gets blocked out

so we curl into ourselves.

Open the windows.

Water yourself. Water each other.

Give yourself the time and space to branch out.

Give others the same.

We are all plants.

Let's grow together

to become a happy jungle.

Daily Devotional

In our bustling lives, it's easy to forget the importance of peace and gratitude. This verse encourages us to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, a reminder that our inner state is vital for our well-being. The term "rule" implies an active role; we must choose to let Christ's peace govern our thoughts and actions.

Gratitude plays a significant role in fostering this peace. When we cultivate a thankful heart, we shift our focus from what we lack to the abundant blessings we have. This act of giving thanks can be transformative. It remind us that we are not alone; we are part of a larger body, the community of believers, called to support and uplift one another.

In moments of conflict or stress, ask yourself:

Are you allowing Christ's peace to guide you?

When we surrender our worries and embrace gratitude, we open the door to true inner peace. This peace not only affects us personally but also creates an atmosphere of harmony in our relationships with others.

Consider how this peace can be a gift to your community. When you embody peace and gratitude, you become a beacon of hope and love. Others will see the difference and may be inspired to do the same.

As you reflect today, think about: How can you practice gratitude in your daily life and share that peace and with those around you? What steps can you take to foster a spirit of community, bringing others into a safe and supportive environment? Embrace the challenge of living out this calling, and watch how it transforms your heart and the hearts of those around you.

COLOSSIANS 3:15 - "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful."

idk why but something that’s been on my mind loads today is how shitty parents who dont support their children transitioning are.

i think it goes without saying that this is a negative thing for adults to do to their kids, but thinking about it deeper, it really sucks. this might have been brought on by listening to an episode of a podcast about that critikal and sneako situation, and how the people on this podcast were talking about “should children be allowed to transition?”

i feel like for me personally, giving an answer to this is very easy. socially, yes, absolutely they should. medically, i think waiting until they’re 18 is the best choice. a lot of people would disagree with this but here’s my logic:

socially transitioning is harmless. there’s no irreversible change done to the body, so therefore i think it’s fine. social transitioning generally consists of changing your name, pronouns and how you present yourself (clothes, hair, etc).

think about it, are any of these things irreversible? you can always change your name or pronouns back to what they originally were, or to change them multiple times. if a child originally used she/her, then used he/him, and now wants to use she/her again, that’s a very doable thing. obviously it would be a difficult change for peers, friends, family and so on, but it’s a realistic thing that can be done.

same with wearing different clothes, or changing your hair. if someone cuts their hair and then decides they want it long again, they can just grow it out. same the other way; if someone grows their hair out long and then wants it short again, they can just cut it.

another option for people who are socially transitioning is things like binding, packing, tucking and padding. for trans males or individuals who want to look more masculine, binding is a great way to get a flatter looking chest. there are a lot of different options for it (commercial binders, binding tape, certain bras or shirts), and it can be dangerous is done in the wrong way, but theres a lot of online recourses to help bind safely (i’ll be linking a website at the end of this post where you can read about safe binding, packing, tucking and padding)

packing is another option for people who want to look more masc; again, with quite a few options, including diy packers and prosthetics. this can be as simple as a pair of socks shaped like a penis that you can put in your underwear to resemble a bulge.

as for the transfem options, im a lot less familiar with them, so again, see the link at the end to find out more. however, i do know theres are options such as tucking (positioning male genitals such as the penis and testes to make them less prominent) and padding (using undergarments to resemble boobs, can also be used for hips or ass)

my point is, there are so many ways to socially transition, and they’re all safe and reversible if need be. why as a parent would you want to take this away from your own child?

it isn’t hurting anyone, be it the child or other people, and it makes the child themselves more comfortable and happy with who they are, even if it is for a small amount of time. surely that’s more important than your own beliefs?

once they are 18, they have the choice to get surgery or hormones if they choose to, and that’s fine in my opinion. i think it is a good idea to first see a medical professional or psychiatrist (although i think that’s something people have to do before medically transitioning in most countries) but it’s their choice at that point.

before then, help your child accept themselves for who they are by using their preferred name or pronouns, helping get them the clothes, prosthetics or haircut they want, and just supporting them in their decisions.

have a great day yall, and remember :

Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️

" I remember who you were and I know who you want to be. We just have to get through this together. You're not crazy." The words sounded unreal, because I've never heard anyone say that to me before.

I find it so sad that people don't have IRL supporters of their obsessions. It actually breaks my heart to think about it.

Like, my biggest supporter is my husband. I wouldn't be anywhere without him. He even supports my OCs/self ships! He supports me writing fanfics and actually reads them when I let him.

I don't know. But my biggest wish is that everyone finds someone in their lives that fully supports their crazy. No matter how crazy it is. I think the creative world would be so much better if people had more supporters.

It's okay to be scared. Fear is just an excuse to be brave.

You got this, my dear.<3
