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.
Hi friend! Another aroace peep here!
I need to hear that there are other aroace people out there. I need to know I’m not alone

There are other aroace people out there.
To any transgender person that is worried for their life, there is hope!
These are pictures from a Trans Rights rally at Purdue University at Lafayette today. HUNDREDS of students showed up and people not even going to Purdue showed up.
Citizens from Lafayette and beyond, students from all parts of the world, and even PASTORS from local churches came out to show their support for trans people and the LGBT+ community as a whole
If people are willing to come out and support trans people they don’t even know, image what they would do for people they DO know. You matter, you specifically, you are loved, and don’t you dare forget it, because you are worth it, these people all care about you enough to fight for you.
Like and reblog and do whatever else the algorithm needs you to do because we need to give as many trans teens hope as possible. the current wave of legislation is so depressing, I can only hope that I reach at least one person. If you want to message me, I am open talk at any time. I already know I would love to meet you! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Let's see... writing my name sometimes brings on massive waves of gender euphoria. It's great
things are so dark for trans folks right now, and i hate waking up every day to see nothing but fear and depression in our comunity. id like it if you could flood my ask box or even reblog this with the last bit of gender euphoria you had, no matter how big or small.

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.
my pypl dot me is @/redactedarachnid, my vnmo is @/fagdykes, my fiance's pypl is @/gillibeann02, and its vnmo is theroyalratbot. (please ignore his deadname.)
$0/$750
thank you.
🚨Major emergency!🚨
My roommate and I need to get out of the moldy place we are living in. We intend to sue our landlord after but we need to get somewhere safe, and stay fed until we can do that. We have money for long term housing and dental surgery but can't take out of those things as it took us over a year to save anything for them.
I had made a post for this, but didn't make much progress, and a lot changed in two weeks including some unexpected urgent costs. Now our original goal is no longer accurate. This goal covers transportation needs, food, and finding somewhere else for a little bit. This is urgent bc I have reason to think our landlord may try and physically remove us if we cannot afford to leave.
I'll do art for anyone who gives $50+ just message me at my art blog @theartistrans

Creating an outward version of yourself that feels true can be both exciting and terrifying. If you are just starting to experiment with gender-affirming clothing, just keep these safety tips in mind and have fun!

hey!! i have decided to start crowdfunding for top surgery while i can. i am a transmasc nonbinary guy from texas and a chronically broke college student, and i would like to get top surgery as soon as possible, preferably before my 23rd or 24th birthdays. top surgery would benefit me physically as binding is unsafe for me a lot of the time and has caused damage to my rib cage after almost 8 years of binding, as well as benefit me mentally and emotionally.
please share and donate if you’re able to! it’s a lot of money unfortunately but definitely will be worth it in the end!! https://gofund.me/e16c79d0
Mercury is raising funds for gender affirming care! go support however you can!
Felt I needed to post this here, too. Any help is good help, even sharing it. Sorry this is random.
transmasc plus size boobs pls best advice for good binder that will flatten as much as possible with quality without being too fucking unaffordable am willing to pay a decent chunk but i mean i make barely above minimum wage here
Please Help Us Raise $40 To Refill Our Neighborhood Water Tank!
March 20th 2023
My partner and I are homeless trans women living in a squatter town in the desert called Slab City!
In Slab City there are no utilities, that means no electrical company, no gas company, and definitely no water company! Everyone has to provide their own for their own camp.
We have a 355 gallon tank that we let our neighbors fill jugs from. It costs $40 to hire someone to fill our tank with drinking water and it drains from use in little over a week.
Right now we're nearing the bottom of the tank and we need your help to fill it back up!
Neither of us have a regular income, but we're both involved in a project to better our local community. See more here and here.
Please donate to help us raise $40 to allow us to refill our water tank so that we and our community can have water to drink!

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.
anyone willing to help a hungry jewish trans person afford food tonight): we havent been able to get groceries after paying our light bill and we have nothing to eat tonight

Free Trans Resources public spreadsheet
Please reblog!
As promised in the comments of the binder master list, I'm now compiling a more all-encompassing free resource public spreadsheet! So far I've got resources for binders, packers, STP devices, gaffs/tucking underwear, gender-affirming clothing, some DIY gender-affirming gear, and some resources on how to clean that gear and how to clean up makeup spills. I'll try to keep expanding things, and feel free to request a type of resource or a specific location in the comments or in an ask! (I can't promise I'll be able to find anything, but I'll do my best! <3)
The spreadsheet is called "Study sheet" to make it more inconspicuous in case someone you'd rather didn't catches a glimpse of the title. Do please note that once you're on the spreadsheet it is very obvious what the content is, so only view it when it's safe for you to do so! <3
Before you click on the link to the spreadsheet:
Some links to videos on how to conceal and delete your history for those who need it (blue text indicates a link)
How to Clear your Youtube watch history (kinda loud at the start and actual info starts at about 1:33
How to Remove Shared Files from Google Drive
how to activate incognito mode on an Iphone , on an Android phone and on chrome on a computer.
And How to delete your Google activity history
Remember to delete your Youtube history after watching!
*Edit* I've added a new section for miscellaneous resource requests to serve as a semi-temporary place for more niche topics that I get resource requests for. If I get more requests for them or find more resources related to the topic I'll make a new separate section for them, but otherwise they can just stay there.
Remember: y'all can comment, tag, or if you want/need it to be more discreet you can send me an anonymous ask. I may not be able to find what you want, but I won't judge you <3
I don't care what nationality you are. US, UK, French, German, anyone in Europe, please do me the grandest of favours and spread this around. Steal the link, make your own post, I don't care; just get it to the eyes of your viewers because if they're Canadian, I need your help.
This petition ends May 26th 2023:
What is this about?
"Whereas:
The world is becoming increasingly hostile to transgender and nonbinary individuals;
Transgender and nonbinary people's rights to live as themselves are being restricted and removed in many places;
This includes the so-called "Western democracies" which have historically been presumed safe;
The United Kingdom is revising their Equality Act to exclude trans people from its protections;
More than a dozen American states have enacted or are considering legislation eliminating or criminalizing gender-affirming care; and
Canada has prided itself on being an inclusive, tolerant, and welcoming society for everyone regardless of gender identity or gender expression.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to extend to transgender and nonbinary people the right to claim asylum in Canada by reason of eliminationist laws in their home countries, whatever country that may be."
It's better to give people an exit plan, and just hope they won't need it, then to do nothing and assume they'll be fine. Help us keep making Canada a positive place for everyone. I hope you'll sign if you're Canadian, and if you're not, I hope you'll help us make some positivity by sharing this around.
trans friends, things have been pretty awful lately.
take what you need. (color change indicates separate links)

i love you. i'll see you tomorrow.
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.
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.
Varda's Surgery Fundraiser
Hi, I'm a disabled intersex woman and I'm hoping that I can get your help. I'm trying to save money to see Dr Hans Goosen who is an expert surgeon with unique experience to help me correct some traumatic decisions that were made on my behalf a long time ago (traumatic for my body and my mental health), and also get a vulvoplasty from the same surgeon for my own gender affirmation.
I'm currently living on an Australian Disability Support Pension which is barely enough to survive on. Only a very small sum of what I need is covered under the Australian Medicare system(unfortunately there are no MBS item numbers for specifically what I need), so people like you are my only hope.
תודה רבה thankyou very much

We are providing grants, navigation support, and resources to impacted families as they ensure their children can access the care they need and deserve. We are currently providing support to impacted families in Mississippi, Tennessee and South Carolina, and we are preparing to work in other states.
Please join us by donating.

For one of my classes, I'm creating a zine on showcasing the importance of transgender stories that focuses on the positive experiences of being transgender and rejecting the notion that transness is an inherently negative experience.
Since this is a website in which I see a lot of transgender positivity, I felt that here would be a good source of information as to how other people experience transgender joy.
This is normally when people ask to "reblog to spread the word so I can gather a large sample size," but I hate it when people tell me that I have to reblog things and I tend to not reblog out of spite. However, be aware that if you follow me, this will be on your dash several times for the next week or two, as I want to collect a lot of information. Just be warned that I can and will be mildly obnoxious about this.
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
