Ya'll Are Valid And Awesome!

If you see this, just so you know I'm the original creator and you can support me by buying it on redbubble where I originally posted it

So it's popped up in my feed uncredited again.

I made this fun design and posted it on redbubble awhile back. and then people started reposting the picture, removing the water mark and not crediting me.

It looks pretty simple but I put work into this. On top of that I'm a Black disabled queer who has no money right now. If they had linked it back to my shop I wonder how many more sales I would have.

Be mindful about sharing what look like memes, this picture looks pretty clear at being a redbubble sticker design. Also I've seen "memes" where it was clear so much work was put into it reposted with 0 credit. It might seem not that harmful but for us creators, especially when we create to help supplement our income it heartbreaking.

Dear whoever stole my work originally, you put the effort to remove the watermark, why couldn't you put the link back to my store? It's also very "funny" stealing a design about paying trans people for their time/energy and actively stopping the trans creator from making money.

Please share to help spread the word

Weird bug I found as a kid bit me

Why are you trans: wrong answer edition. Tell us why you're trans, wrong answers, though :)

Idk what trans man needs to hear this but you're NOT evil or disgusting for being a man. You do NOT have to suffer for the sins of the patriarchy committed by cis dudes. Being a man doesn't invalidate the misogyny you experienced growing up or experience now. Being a man doesn't mean you deserve to be isolated. Being a man doesn't mean you're inherently predatory or scary. You didn't "choose" this, and finding your true self is NOT "betraying the community" because you happen to be a man and/or masculine rather than a woman and/or feminine. You ARE allowed to be upset when people "affirm" your gender by malgendering you.

You DO deserve a community that uplifts you. You DO deserve to experience trans joy. You DO deserve to have your voices heard and your struggles recognized. Wanting the bare minimum of solidarity is NOT "making everything about trans men".

My dear lgbt+ kids,

I want to share a petition with you:

"Switzerland currently does not recognize the right to surviving spouse AVS (Social Security) benefits for LGBT+ widows and widowers, while heterosexual widows receive full benefits under the law.

Traditionally, following the death of a husband, a widow is granted a widow's pension. However, the government still denies a widows pension to lesbian widows who meet the same criteria. 

Take the case of Beatriz Hernandez, legally married to her Swiss wife for many years before her wife’s unfortunate death (...)

When her wife died in 2015,  Beatriz filed for the spousal survivor benefits. The Swiss government, however, denied her the surviving pension on the argument that she could not be a widow because she was married to a woman. (...)

We call on the Swiss Government to recognise the constitutional rights of LGBT+ widows and widowers immediately, by granting and paying out the survivor rights which they have funded and earned as Swiss citizens over a lifetime of contributions.

A widow's pension must be granted regardless of the sexual orientation of a woman who loses her spouse."

Sign here!

With all my love,

Your Tumblr Dad

help a disabled guy and his pets survive

i have three medical appointments in january that are going to cost £60+ to get to/from and we also owe on the rent.

we don't have enough money in our account to even pay the fucking bailiffs off right now let alone heat the flat.

it's my birthday on the 4th and i just want to spend it not stressed out and cold. if you have anything to spare, it'd be greatly appreciated.

trans person in need of mutual aid to pay rent bc we live in a hellscape

i fucken hate making these posts but i am $400 short on august rent. i’ve been trying to find the funds and delayed paying in hopes that my mid-august paycheck would be enough but it’s not. top surgery and losing my job has tanked my savings and i’m really struggling to make ends meet, so every little bit counts. don’t donate if it’ll put you in a financially uncomfortable position, but if you’ve got an extra $10 that you won’t miss, it’ll really really help get me back on my feet and keep me housed.

vnm is avimazz

$0/$400

please help us !

remaking my last post since we still really need help

im jet, 24 yr old trans dude. i live with my spouse and our pet family and ive had this account since 2014, for the info on our situation, me any my partner were recently kicked out by homophobic family after tricking us into moving states to caretake for them, and we are still recovering after losing all belongings to them and being made homeless for months. we now live in a more expensive apartment than before as it was the only available option until we can move, i am looking for work currently and am already a full time student and caretaker

we are currently short for our rent for feb, as we have lost income and savings, and after the rent increasing we will have no way to pay. i also have a painful dental issue requiring root canal which my insurance wont cover and would do anything to figure that out eventually. anything helps, even a couple cents. it adds up and would help us afford to stay here as we were cut off from our only support in a different state trying to get on our feet.

i am trying to find work so i wont have to do this again but really need help, nothing has come through yet. i know everyone is going through a lot, but if you have any extra, anything does really directly affect us and help us survive, and boosting means a lot
