Hi, if you could answer this pretty short form (it should take about 5 minutes to complete), that'd be really helpful.
It's for my English Language coursework on neopronouns, but all responses are very useful. These results will only be used for this coursework, and results will be anonymised for data protection. No email address is required bit please only answer once :)
Please boost for reach, I need a large sample size
coming at you with a self-care reminder to do something to move your body and use those muscles you've got! doesn't have to be a whole gym routine, you can just take a little walk or have a quick stretch if that's all you can do right now. just do a little something, yeah? it's good for you & your body will thank you. đź–¤
hello everyone! I am writing a dissertation on gender identity and how it can be affected by relationships with other people. This questionnaire is open to all (although some questions are specifically addressed to trans people or people who are part of marginalized communities) and entirely anonymous. I'm trying to spread it around as much as possible so reblogs are appreciated + if you want to take it, thank you so much <3
I got desperate enough to deadname myself so that anyone’s Christian relatives will be willing to help.
For those of you who don’t know me well, hi. I’m styx, a disabled transmasculine person trying to get away from an abusive family and shitty home situation to somewhere I’ll be safe.
I’m not gonna share all my shit here because this is the internet, but I’m trying to raise money to move out and afford my medication.
I can’t work because of my disability and I am also selling tarot readings for fifteen dollars. I will link also my c*sh*pp; dm me for details or business inquiries.
Anything helps, blessed be.
so um we desperately we need $28 for food & $44 for my brothers insulin which he is out of and that he MUST take to stay out of an er? urgent as we need help for this and im not sure what to do. have no money after paying the overdraft fee with help from yall, paying my grandma, have no car, can’t get to food bank or store. the kids are hungry and i just have no idea what to do. a dollar or a penny is a big help or reblogging. send me hate, ill block you.
Happy pride month to y’all. Wishing only good things and nice parades. Support us so we can organise the parade as well. The link below. May everyone be blessed. Share and reblog. Lets fight homophobia together.
it's rough at the moment and we could use some help getting food and paying bills while we're trying to put money aside for our big move.
it's okay if you're a trans guy and you don't have, want, or try to look like you have a beard. it's okay if you're a trans guy and you don't pack or don't want to. it's okay if you're a trans guy and you don't really wear men's clothing. it's okay if you're a trans guy and you don't bind. it's okay if you're a trans guy and you don't have a deep voice. it's okay if you're a trans guy and you don't pass. it's okay to be a trans guy and just be for a while.
people push trans guys to get to the end of their transitions way too fast. it's okay to just be pre-t for a while. it's okay to be never-t. it's okay to not get surgeries. it's okay to take it slow and think. it's okay to not rush into changing your name or socially transitioning. it's okay to take it slow
there are lots of ways to be a trans guy. it's okay to take it at your own pace
In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.
Most of you know I am a transsexual. I do not hide it and I have never tried to. Â
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. Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.”Â
I felt like I had been slapped. I never really talked to her again. Â
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.Â
We are an afterthought.Â
We are different.Â
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.Â
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.Â
