Not every Trans person wants to pass.

Not every Trans person wants HRT.

Not every Trans person wants gender affirming surgeries.

Not every Trans person uses the pronouns society assigns to their gender.

Trans folks are not a monolith.

Happy Transgender Awareness Day!

Oh and also Easter or something.

I start HRT next week. I never thought this day would come.

Someone tell 15 year old me that it DOES get better.

To all transmasc people who can't bind

Hey, I feel your pain as a transguy with easily irritated skin and bad shoulders. But over the years I learned how to deal with breast dysphoria without binding and I wanted to share that knowledge! (Keep in mind that I'm a 170cm white twink and not all of this will apply to everyone)

Don't and I mean don't wear bras. I know some people think that's the only alternative to binders, but there are way better options. I would always recommend sports bustiers over sports bras, especially the ones that don't have a "décolleté" (you might find them with the swim wear)

You probably heard this before, but let me emphasize, that layers are your best friend. I absolutely recommend a sweater jacket + jean jacket combo, it doesn't only look really good and let it look like you have broad shoulders, when you get too hot you can take off one jacket and still have layers that hide your chest

If it's too hot to wear layers, regularly tuck on your shirt to loosen it, if it sticks to your body, it emphasizes the shape of your chest

Focus on your other body parts! I, for example, pass pretty well, except for my chest. But because I look very masculine in general (well except for one thing) people still always assume I'm a guy. In summer I would recommend loose shorts (cloth ones are the most comfortable in my opinion), in winter I'd recommend cargo pants. Go for a more masculine hairstyle (masculine doesn't necessarily mean short), let your body hair grow out, use men's deodorant and do some voice training

Be confident! Pretend like you're not constantly dysphoric as f!ck, act really confused when someone misgenders you (like that never happened to you before), there are countless body types in men, and even some cis men look like they have boobs, if you pretend that you pass, people won't question it either

You don't need to present masculine to be valid, but as a masculine presenting trans guy I know that it helps a lot of us with dysphoria. I hope I could help you out a bit.

Remember to stay hydrated!

Happy Trans Visibility Day!

[archipelago-siren]

First off, I don't know how to elagantly word this. Secondly, I'm both Disabled and Non-Binary, so am in the communities I'm talking about.

I just watched the latest Dr. Who episode, loved it, and cried watching it. Spoilers ahead.

The show introduced two new kickass characters, Shirley Anne Bingham, UNITs science officer. And Rose Noble, Donna's biracial trans daughter.

Were there some moments which as a disabled and NB viewer I found a little icky? Yes.

(Examples: the inaccessibility of the structure leading to the rocket meant Shirley wasn't possessed and could then later save everyone. Inaccessibility is not and should never be a good thing. And a few moments regarding Rose's trans identity, one example being the viewer discovering she's trans as she's deadnamed by bullies)

Do I think a big deal should be made out of this? No. Why? Because both characters were portrayed in a very positive and empowering manner. As a western society (UK specifically) We are still nowhere we need to be regarding minority representation. Progress is being slowly made. The people writing us in, for the most part are not in the communities they're trying to give representation to.

If we pick apart every mistake that is being made, the more likely we are to push away those trying to represent us for fear of getting it wrong. No-one gets everything right on the first time. Or the second, third, fourth, etc. It takes time and practise, and patience.

So right now, I'm going to take that Dr. Who episode as a win.

’trans people will regret buying gender affirming clothes’ so will cis people? have you not had an awkward teenage phase?

[am-i-a-boy-or-a-crybaby]

Lionheart

Blond mane drips down a delicate neck;

A body trembling in fear with a mind on the brink,

Inside a mind with a prey’s reflex;

Amidst it all,

A beating heart,

Unwaveringly even,

Confidence strong as a Pride;

The boy is a lionheart,

His crown, a halo made of sun rays, a wild warning of the wars waged and won

Update: HRC State of Emergency in Nebraska

Nebraskan Governor Jim Pillen just issued an executive order on August 30th, 2023, defining what a man and a woman is. This basically erases transgendered individuals. Also, the text of this... gross... "Women's Bill of Rights" is absolutely disgusting and sexists to cisgendered individuals.

Transfolk from out of state are advised to steer clear of Nebraska. Transfolk in state are advised to be very careful. Exodus if you can.

A link to the executive order below. TW: Transphobia, Sexism.

Happy transgender awareness week!!!

[djohnhopper]

I FULLY SUPPORT:

Transgender kids and their families - and will do so without reservation. My support includes both of my magazines: Inspirational art magazine, and 100subtexts literary magazine, which will both continue to be welcoming to transgender artists, writers, and poets. I have zero tolerance for any right-wing bullying of transgender kids and their families - they are beneath contempt. The denial of a transgender kid's right to exist is an obscenity to the human family.
