[alt title: Maduro bastardo vas a caer imbécil]
I speak from complete honesty when I say that I wish I didn't have to come to this, but the situation here due to the economic crisis seems to just get worse each day, and we strongly fear that regardless of the outcome of either country's elections around the corner, the possibility to leave to the USA and work for a better situation than here will be cutted entirely from our possibilities. This week I spoke longly with my father and we got to the conclusion of saving and helping as much as everyone can to help him appeal for a parole, stay with trusted relatives in Miami, and work to help things over here a little better.
I'm currently working trying to keep things at bay as much as possible. But my relatives at Miami estimate that in order for my father to emigrate safely we'll need At least 8 Thousand, not to mention all the external spends in basic services, food, and others in the meantime we save as much as possible to help him move in the nearest future before the elections of either country
Because of this. Along with any donations anyone wishes to make, I'm currently offering semi-traditional doodles in this rendering style at $30
You have no idea how much anyone helps by even simply sharing this post as much as possible, thinking on the future has been really exhausting and I'm open to working for anything in order to disperse my mind. I hope I explained myself as best as I could, if anyone has any doubts then please don't doubt in contacting me through DMs or Ask prefferible to avoid bot flagging.

Well hey there! I used to be ghonrenoki but either the growt in traction or the high amount of ask and messages flagged my past blog as a robot :^)
I'm a venezuelan disabled trans artist still in urgent financial help over here. I don't want to repeat myself of be too personal, but essentially our car's wheels broke and we now have a new urgent thing to assist, so that's why after consulting friends and clients I elevated a little the goal and comm prices.
( $150 / $2000 )
so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
hi! my name is charlotte, or red. i am a disabled bisexual trans jewish system living in st louis, missouri, and i am engaged to another disabled bisexual trans system who also lives here. you know the drill, don't tag with risky tags and only donate if you're financially able (and don't feel bad if you can't!), but please reblog.
on top of the current political situation surrounding trans healthcare, i was in a bad car accident yesterday during a storm and our car has been totalled and my phone was shattered, and i had to go to the er (less than a week from when i had to go for an allergic reaction) where i had the worst medical experience of my life. we are a one car household and i rely on that vehicle for my job. our gas bill is also unexpectedly high, and i need to take my cat to the vet for a dental cleaning.
my mother is going to be helping pay for a new car and possibly repairs to my phone, and our emergency savings will also go towards this situation, but we are going to need help with things like paying groceries, feeding our cats, rent, bills, and more, as i will not be able to get tips from delivery driving which provide a significant part of my fiance's and my income. i'm going to try to raise $750, with a stretch goal of $1000. it's big, but anything we don't use on our immediate survival will be going straight into our savings to try to rebuild.
thank you.
Intersex people and the bodies they inhabit are WORTHY
They are AMAZING
They are BEAUTIFUL
Intersex is holy. Intersex is awe-inspiring. Intersex is worthy. Intersex is worthy. Intersex is worthy.
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.
I just signed up to offer mutual aid to other trans people in distress though the Trans Resistance Network (US focused). There are tons of ways to help, many of which do not cost money.

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
