keep a disabled man and his pets warm
it's supposed to be under 3c/37f for the rest of the week and heating costs way too much. we have two payments going out tomorrow that'll take us -99.66 into our overdraft and it's so fucking cold my hands keep going stiff.
i know it's a rough time for everyone but if you have anything to spare so we can keep the electric on it'd be so appreciated.
I’ve met Shatzi Weisberger at countless protests over the past 4 years. She’s fought injustice for decades and you should check out her fantastic protest signs if you haven’t already. It was just announced that she has a terminal illness. Now, she needs your support during the final stage of her life. She is a treasure and deserves all the care in the world. You can donate to her hospice fundraiser here.

i’d name him Squant btw. if u even care
If You Are Or Know A Trans Person Living In England, Please Read This!
Our Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, is reportedly planning to 'review and revise' The Equality Act 2010, and plans to remove legal protections for transgender people living in England, claiming to "make it clear that sex means biological sex rather than gender".
If this becomes reality, trans people will be denied access to same-sex spaces, including bathrooms, hospital wards, shelters and safe houses. Trans people will not have a legal right to go into these spaces, meaning they will not only be at greater risk of discrimination but also legal trouble too.
If these protections are removed from The Equality Act, trans people will be forced to declare their Assigned Gender At Birth as their gender identity in these situations for their own safety.
Sunak has been vocal about his transphobia in the past. If this is approved, more of our rights may be taken away in the future.
There are multiple news articles reporting this topic, if you wish to read them.
Please, sign petitions to help stop this from happening. There are currently 2 on Change.org as I'm writing this:
"Stop Rishi Sunak scrapping Transgender rights"
"Stop Rishi's trans-rights reforming"
Even if this doesn't directly affect you, please help the ones that it does. Trans people are already discriminated against daily just for living their lives, please help us to stop Rishi Sunak from making it worse.
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.
Happy Asexual Week of Visibility!
My dear lgbt+ kids,
Whenever you’re reading this, during Asexuality Awareness Week or not, it’s a good day to
- be proud of and comfortable in your identity as an asexual person
- question if you might be asexual (and no, you’re not too young, too old, too whatever!)
- support asexual people. Asexuality is real, there’s nothing wrong with it and asexual people belong in our community!
With all my love, Your Tumblr Dad
Thanks Tumblr Dad!
My dear lgbt+ kids,
Dealing with homophobia (and other forms of discrimination or hate) takes a lot of strength.
You may think about people who have to go face-to-face with homophobic people, like listening to (or even arguing against) your dad's anti-gay rant at the dinner table - but it's not only situations in which you could point at one person in the room who is clearly being homophobic right now.
It's also walking into a room full of people you never met and instantly feeling like there's a target on your back. It's sitting amongst your friends and wondering if they'd still be there if they knew. It's lying in your bed at night and feeling overwhelmed by the thought that there is just so much hate out there.
It'd be absolutely wrong to say that being gay is nothing but constant sad thoughts about homophobic people - but we do carry the knowledge with us that homophobia exists. Even if it's not aimed at you directly or you are not staring in its face right that moment, it is a burden to carry that with you.
Sometimes we don't think about that burden at all and sometimes it can literally feel like a huge weight is lying on our chest.
If it feels heavy for you right now, it's not a sign that you are weak. You are actually doing a very brave thing! You are carrying something really heavy... and also invisible. Something you maybe can't really share with others or feel like they don't understand. That is a tough thing to deal with and you are dealing with it! Giving yourself permission to actually feel the weight of that burden takes a lot of strength - and you do that. You feel the weight and you are still here. Good job, little fighter.
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
Lola is a black trans person in Nigeria who has once again been thrown out of their semi-stable housing without explanation (the reason undeniably being transphobia).
Nigeria is not safe for any queer person of any kind.
Lola has been having difficulties securing stable housing for months now. The last shelters she was in kicked her out after she tried to report transphobia.
She needs help, urgently, for food, HRT, and rent.
Please help in any way you can.

If a transgender person asks you to deadname and misgender them in front of certain people. Misgender them and deadname them in front of those people. It doesn't matter how icky or gross it may feel, it doesn't matter you'd rather be honest. It doesn't matter if there's more of you there. Certain people aren't safe, and honesty IS NOT the best policy when honesty could put them at serious risk. It doesn't matter if there's a crowd, because when there isn't shit goes down.
Be an ally, do what they ask. Understand that the trans person knows more about their situation than you do, and this includes who's safe and who's not. Some one can be "trans friendly" to other people, but not to people they know or specific people. Do as the trans person asks, yes it's uncomfortable, but it's 10 times worse if the person we don't trust finds out. 100 times worse if they have access to us when you're not around.
Respect trans peoples safety. Misgender and deadname when asked.

Sending $15 dollars to a fellow transgender in need
Receiving $15 dollars from a fellow transgender, as I am in need
Looking at gay (redacted due to tumblr filtering)
"Saint, how can I help you?"
Send me $5 dollars or maybe more. I will collect the dollars. I will use the dollars to achieve phone. (I may also use the dollars to pay the electric bill)
"How do I send you $5 dollars or maybe more?"
I'm glad you asked:
FAQ:
"Do you have Venmo?"
-- yes, but it won't let me log in without my phone
"Do you have Paypal"
-- yes, but I owe them $500 and we can't use it
Hello & howdy! I'm Casper Oliver (he/they). A queer, disabled artist in need.
I'm working multiple jobs, but I'm still struggling to have enough for rent, therapy, medication, and pet care as I look for another job.
Goal: $800
Any bit helps!
Also, any support towards @thesperience does also help! It's the production team I'm a founder of and the more support the team gets, the more we can focus on our project creation instead of needing to search for other jobs!
Hey! I, (PTSD trans man), was out with my friend last night celebrating her, (autistic black woman), birthday when her car got towed. All three of us pooled all our money together to get it out since she had work in the morning, but that means I have no rent money or gas money until Thursday when she hopefully gets paid enough to pay me back. Please consider sending her a dollar or two so she can pay me and our other friend, (DID black bi gender fluid), back so I don't miss my rent. It was around $180 to get her car out.
hello my friends 💖 it's 3 DAYS until my top surgery consultation!!!!
Im only a few hundred dollars behind goal (<$800), so please donate to my gfm if you can!!! I'm so so so close to my surgery being completely fully funded!

Love love love love to everyone who has been sharing and reaching out 💖 I'm sending each of you a tiddy pic the night before my surgery and I have the biggest appreciation for you 🙏 thank you immensely and sincerely 💖
transition according to your own needs, and create your own transition timeline. you are not transitioning "wrong" or "late" if you come out later in life, or if you are not out or on hormones by your 20's. you are allowed to take time and assess which parts of transition suit you, and which don't. it's okay to take it slowly if you want to, it's okay to take actual years to make decisions.
it's okay to also move quickly through transition, as long as you know it's right for you, and you've done research into how it can affect your long term health, if you are choosing HRT and other medical avenues of transition. for some people, the dysphoria is so unbearable they have to get their hands on HRT as soon as possible or they may not make it to the other steps of their transition. this is okay, too, just be sure to practice as many harm reduction practices are you are possibly capable of doing- avoiding frequent binding while your body is still growing can help you in the long run, for example.
regardless, it's okay to transition at any rate or pace, you're not transitioning "too late" if you transition in your late 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and beyond. it's okay to admit you feel trans if you're very, very young, it doesn't mean you'll "grow out of it"- there is no order to the steps in which you need to take to make yourself comfortable- it doesn't matter if you start by diving HRT first after doing research on how it will affect you, or start by switching pronouns and working your way up. transition how it feels right for you.
help a queer latinx queer femme afford diabetes meds!! (please don’t scroll) Hey pals, most of you know me as Tai. I’m a 22 year old queer undocumented latinx femme and aspiring novelist, and I’m currently fucking panicking because my health insurance contract just ended. I have Type 1 diabetes, so my body depends on medication that’s vital to my life. I’m on a work visa that expires in a few months, and it’s the only documentation keeping me safe and “legal” in the eyes of the country. This year I’m hoping to complete my green card process so that I can reside in this country for good. My work contract from my last job also ran out and as an immunocompromised person, I’ve struggled to find safe work during this pandemic. I am not eligible for financial aid from the government. This is time sensitive. I’m just looking for support to help me with funding by diabetes meds. This is hugely time sensitive. Feel free to share this link with your immediate community! Any donations welcome, no amount is too small! Your help and support is greatly appreciated. 💖 kofi (preferred)

Ya'll are valid and awesome!
Like and reblog if your account is a safe space for trans lesbians. It feels like trans lesbians in particular get shamed and ridiculed a lot by people in and out of the community. If you’re reading this I want to let you know you’re valid and I hope your safe and doing well.
Hello all! I have entered a contest to win a large sum of money, in which I would use to finally be able to afford my top surgery. I am a low income and chronically ill individual, so this would truly mean the world to me. Please take a moment to vote, donate or share this post. Thank you!

Hello I would just like to say if you are transmasc and you use neopronouns you are literally so sexy and smart. Imagining being able to know yourself so well that you had to go out and find pronouns that matched you perfectly. Keep it up king.
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. 🖤
If you don’t live in Texas it’s probably easy to forget that our state department of family and protective services is still under a directive from our fucking evil state officials to treat trans affirming parents as abusers.
It’s so vile. I have friends who work for other state departments who just told me at someone’s bday last weekend that TDFPS is a dumpster fire of horrific proportions.
Hello my queerballs friends! This is my community so I'm just going to come out and say it; I can't safely live in Texas anymore. Just ask my trans comrades how bad it's gotten since Gregg Abbott began signing this new anti trans youth legislation into law a few months ago. I used to think that I passed well, that I was masculine enough. But now it's like every time I go outside I can't breathe. The aggression has escalated to the the point where I dread going out with my whole heart. Which breaks my heart in turn. The GoFundMe was written by my sweet, wonderful mother, but I wanted to reach my people on my level. To all my LQBTQ brothers, sisters, and others, I hope someone tells you you're beautiful today. Because we deserve it.
Love, Henry.
Local Trans Woman Needs Some Aid 2 -- Urgent Edition, Electric Boogaloo
Hey y’all--its me again. Soooo things have gotten Rough since my last post. To give some context: I’ve moved states to live with my partner about 2 months ago and, while I now have a job, doesn't cover anything substantial. A job I was waiting on getting hired for (and would have fixed a lot of issues) decided to go with someone else.
I am currently on the job hunt once again for something that can afford literally basic survival and not-being-houseless needs.
For those who have the ability to give a poor trans girl some money--have a link:
Only have a v3nmo: @leeleecreative
I have a pinned post about other services I can give if you'd like to get some shitty art/voice over work for your money. Alternatively, if any other trans people know of some resources I can reach out to, I'd appreciate that immensely as well.
Thanks y'all, I appreciate you reading this.
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.
