🚨Help A Friend Recovering From S/ Attempt 🚨

help a trans man and his mother and pets stay housed

our eviction date is officially set for the 4th June, but the landlord is giving us another couple extra weeks after due to the length of our tenancy.

we still have not found a place to live, and it is getting fucking terrifying. my mother had a heart attack on the 13th of may, I'm still recovering from top surgery, and we have eight pets we cannot handle losing on top of everything else.

I've created a POOL for fundraising for expenses related to our impending homelessness

33 days left (as of Aug 15) to raise $2000 (that's SO close!) for my top surgery or ill have to wait another year! Seeing my surgeon in September!!!

if you want to help me reach my goal please share or check below for details! 🥰🤠

Happy Asexual Week of Visibility!

My dear lgbt+ kids,

Whenever you’re reading this, during Asexuality Awareness Week or not, it’s a good day to

- be proud of and comfortable in your identity as an asexual person

- question if you might be asexual (and no, you’re not too young, too old, too whatever!)

- support asexual people. Asexuality is real, there’s nothing wrong with it and asexual people belong in our community!

With all my love, Your Tumblr Dad

I Am Transsexual and Want An Education

Most of you know I am a transsexual. I do not hide it and I have never tried to.  

I am also a college student. Like many Americans, I cannot really afford to be there. Many trans people like me cannot afford higher education either.  

Transgender people don’t have the same kind of opportunities that cisgender people do. Either you live a lie and torture yourself because you know your family will forsake you if you say anything, you tell them everything and are kicked out, or you are lucky enough to get a neutral to positive response. Yes, neutral is lucky. 

The trans folks that say nothing and live in agony being unsupported and trapped can maybe go to college but know that if they say anything their tuition might be out the door, that their parents or family or guardians will throw them to the wolves. So they either suffer in silence or end up committing suicide. 

The trans folks that came out and were kicked out have basically no chance at ever going to college. You might be able to get government and private loans, but you’ll be drowning in debt by the end of it all. Debt you may never be able to pay off alone. 

The remaining lucky ones most likely still come from low to middle income families that can’t really afford college anyways. It is a borderline no-win scenario. 

How is this fair? Can’t everybody see this is cruel? This is a struggle faced by all queer people, but is intensified by the trans label. We are easy targets. 

I was once talking to a girl who was also queer, but not trans. I said, “Rae, in my state, it is illegal for me to use a public restroom. It is illegal for public institutions to give me my life saving medication. I have almost no rights. We are witnessing a modern-day segregation.” I live in Florida. 

She turned to me and said, “You know it’s hard for me too. There are like, no gay bars in my city. No fun ones anyway.” 

I felt like I had been slapped. I never really talked to her again.  

Of course, all queer people face oppression, but for her to dismiss the violent and dangerous actions that are being taken against my people in favor of her own problems highlights a deeper issue with the attitude towards trans people. 

We are an afterthought. 

We are different. 

Other people are so far removed from the plight of trans people that they do not recognize how privileged they are by comparison and damn it I refuse to be an afterthought for much longer. 

I do not want to live in quiet, secret moments anymore. I do not want to be in the shadows and behind closed doors. I want to feel comfortable out in the open. I shouldn’t have to hide. Let me wear what I want and be what I am. Let me hold my boyfriend’s hand in public. Let me be able to take off my binder or just not wear it at all. Let my people have healthcare and basic human decency. Let us get an education and let us use the goddamn bathroom. Let us. Let us. Let us.

The #TransgenderFirst College Scholarship- For Transgender Students

The first national scholarship exclusively dedicated to help the underserved Transgender student community get affordable access to college

Some of you might have seen me complaining about my dissertation recently and I would really appreciate it if anyone could take some time to fill in this survey for my research.

I’m looking into the idea of rainbow washing and whether brands using the pride logo and being inclusive in their adverts actually convinces people that they’re an inclusive company for the LGBTQ+ community - or if we’re all just cynical about corporations using pride for profit.

so because i have the absolute best luck and immune system in the world, i am out of work with Covid for the 2nd time in a year. i am very broke and a week without work is not good for me!!! as such, if you have ever thought about commissioning, now is a great time. i take commissions for informative bird posts like you see on the blog - just check the search function on the blog first to make sure I haven’t already posted the bird you’d like to request! my kofi is here, and the minimum payment is only $3! anything is appreciated + thank you regardless of whether or not you are able to commission!

Please reblog for a larger sample size.
