I wasn't thinking I'd need to blaze this, Tumblr, but I need your help with gathering resources for questions to be answered during a family crisis.
Recently, I publicly came out as transgender and my sisters are having a rough time trying to process it. For context, the three of us (all in our 30s) were raised Catholic and I started coming to terms with my being transgender in 2007, only wholly accepting the label in 2019. I had been in the closet wrt family with the sole exception of my father. I wasn't sure why, but I was most comfortable telling him that I was struggling with my gender identity.
I found out why in 2021 when I realized he was ordering and wearing clothing and accessories from the women's section and had pierced ears and regularly got French manicures.
My own coming out may have unintentionally helped kick start a crisis for my sisters, and my brother-in-law informed me that my sisters suspect that our dad is also transgender.
My brother-in-law has already voiced support as well as an apology in advance if he gets my pronouns wrong (I already assured him that I'd rather be patient than mean). He also communicated with me that I had the support of my father and my sisters, but that they weren't sure how to process all of this on an emotional level.
This is where y'all come in.
I'm looking for books and articles and podcasts that would best help cisgender adult allies understand the struggles of being transgender, ways that cis folks can help, and especially how to come to terms with having a transgender family member.
I appreciate any help I can get and I cede the floor to my fellow chaos gremlins that haunt this site.
To all the LGBTAQ+ Muslims, you are not dirty. You are not a walking contradiction. You are beautiful and incredible. I want all my Muslim brothers, sisters and friends to know this that Allah has created you the way you are, and you are a child of his.
He loves you for who you are and what you do. You are a perfectly valid human and deserve every bit of happiness this world has to offer. This year we celebrate Eid-ul-fiter in the month of Pride to acknowledge our existence and embrace our identity.
Non Muslims are highly encouraged to reblog this post.
Islamophobic people, terfs, Nazis, Trump supporters and any lgbtaq+ phobic people DO NOT INTERACT.
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 :)
south carolina just immediately banned medical transition care for all youth, and for adults on medicaid. please donate to the southern trans youth emergency project, which places money directly in the hands of trans youth so they can travel for care.

Me and my fiance are both Queer adults living with my family in Panaca, NV and we need to move somewhere else.
I am Agender Transmasc and Gay Leaning. My fiance is a Trans man, Pansexual, and Indigenous. We are both Disabled- (I have Autism, Depression, Anxiety, DID) (He has Autism, OCD, DID, Depression, Anxiety, and is also physically disabled (needs a cane or crutches, wrist and ankle braces, and medical lotion) Panaca is 5 minutes away from a self promoted “correction facility” and is full of people who genuinely want to send queers to them. Genuinely want queers, poc, disabled people to not have rights. We are NOT safe living here. We are in danger every day. We do not want to end up dead in the streets. We have friends in Oregon and plan on moving into an apartment with them, we would have people we trust around us and would be in a safer place for us. Me and my fiance can be ourselves, live our own lives. The sooner we can get the money, the sooner we can move to somewhere safer for us. The money would cover a U-hual, Two months of rent, and any food and bills while we search for jobs. I will forever be grateful. Any amount helps us! Thank you to everyone who donates!
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

Brett is a close friend and coworker. After going to the doctor for severe pain, he learned that he will need surgery to prevent his condition from getting worse. Brett has been unable to work for several weeks now, and will likely be unable to work for another 6 to 8 weeks after the surgery. This funding will go towards medical bills and supporting him while he recovers. This Pride month, please help a queer trans man in need!
Hey everyone!
Queer person here trying to get top surgery before the political transphobia burst in my country as it is happening in the US and UK right now.
Any amount donated helps, every share is crutial.

Men, your existence is a good thing.
Trans men, you deserve to be believed about your experiences. I wish you gender euphoria like you've never felt before.
Disabled men, you are valuable just the way you are. I wish you lack of guilt for the things you can't do.
Men of color, whatever culture(s) you belong to are beautiful things. I wish you pride in who you are.
Fat men, you deserve happiness. I wish you comfort in your bodies.
Queer men, you are an inspiration. I wish you peace and safety.
Men who fit into multiple of these categories and/or belong to any minority I didn't list, you're very cool, and I hope you're having a wonderful day.
Men who don't fit into any of these categories, you are wonderful, and you are just as worthy of love as anyone else.
