There’s an ignorant prick out there that reblogs lgbt+ posts (mostly T) and calls us in the community posers, trannys, and other offensive profanity. They also reblog art from others and claim that it is their’s. By skimming through their posts, I believe by their repetitive nature that they are a troll. It’s not worth talking to them since they’ll probably get a laugh about it (and quite possibly hurt your brain). I recommend that everyone block this person.

Hello. I’m a FtM animal lover. I’m desperately in need of cash to help save my senior cat...and I hope that doing cheap commissions will help me with my funds. Just spreading and reblogging this around will help a ton! No one in my family seems to care about the cat that’s been with us for a decade... Without a ride I even had to walk all the way to the Vet Clinic, which unfortunately charges quite a bit as you can see by the receipt.

I had to dive into the savings I had that I’ve been saving up to move out of the household that my abusive mother torments... I cannot find a job that would accept me because I have no working experience and I am a drop out... I’m trying to earn my GED... I’ve only passed one subject however. I cannot move out of state to my bae’s state until I pass this test. The only way I can make any funds towards my cat’s medical care is to do commissions. I had a call from the vet this afternoon and cat had passed all of the blood work that could lead to the diseases above, kidney, and liver disease. Her main concern now is that he could have tumors in his bowels or it is inflamed. The cost of doing an ultra scan is a staggering $150 + more for the appointment and an extra supply of antibiotics. 

Once treatment do come to my Kitty cat, there are also more medical procedures to do, such as a dental. His teeth are so severe that not even gels and sprays for tartar will help anymore. His mouth hurts him so much that he cannot eat dry food anymore...

Please consider commissioning me. I am extremely shocked that my 12 year old cat haven’t succumb to the diseases above, especially when he haven’t had his shots in 10 years. This is a sign that he should stay alive. Thank you for your time and please take a few seconds of your time to boost this post.

A How To Guide: When Someone You Know Has Changed Their Pronouns

I have changed my pronouns before and this is the advice I like to give people when they ask how to handle it. I get that it can be difficult, especially if you’ve known someone for years before they made this change. Here are some things to remember.

1. It ain’t about you. Yes, it’s a little uncomfortable the first few times you try to remember their pronouns (and in some cases, their current name). But YOUR discomfort about remembering something does not trump their dysphoria about being misgendered. Once you realize that it ain’t about you, it gets easier to remember. After all, this is someone you respect. So show it.

2. Ask when it’s appropriate to use their pronouns. Some people don’t use their pronouns everywhere because of safety concerns. Some people aren’t out to everyone. And some folks are fluid in relation to their pronouns. It isn’t your place to judge. If it’s okay with the person, you might consider completely dropping pronoun usage, especially in unsafe environments. Meaning, instead of s/he (or whatever else their pronoun is), just use their name.  I find that makes the transition a little smoother. 

3. Yes. You will need to think a second longer before you speak until it becomes second nature. In my cellphone, if someone changes their name or pronouns, I place a reminder next to their name. So for about a month is says Current Name/Previous Name (Pronoun). Example: Sally/Andrew (she). That way if I see a new number called Sally in my phone I’m not like, “Who the fuck is this?” After a while, I remember without the reminder and then I delete it. Same with screennames and such. I’ve used rhyming words to help remember things. There are lots of mental tricks to help. Do whatever you gotta do. But when you talk TO them or ABOUT them or in RELATION to them… use the correct words. I’m notoriously HORRIBLE at remembering things so I tell people upfront. “Just so you know, I will do my very best to respect you and call you by your correct name/pronouns. I might fuck up because I am forgetful but PLEASE call me on it and I’ll make sure it doesn’t continue.” Not once has anyone been anything other than appreciative because everyone likes to feel respected. 

4. WHEN (not if because if you do this long enough, you WILL) you misgender someone, APOLOGIZE. Don’t make it a huge deal. Simply, “I’m sorry.” I like to use someone’s name when I apologize because it sounds more sincere and it’s a reminder for myself as well. Use the correct pronoun (or name) and move one. Making a big deal of it to look super progressive actually makes you look like an ass. And if you’re really sorry, it shouldn’t keep happening.

That’s pretty much it. And yes, you have to use their pronoun and/or name even when they aren’t around. Saying shit like, “You know Andrew, right?” when you are talking about Sally is fucked up. Something like, “You know Sally, right?” Then describe the person. And if someone else misgenders them (and it’s someone who should know better) correct them. If not, you are co-signing their disrespectful bullshit and that’s not cool.

Over and out.

Good Day

Today was good. I wore guys clothes while grocery shopping with my mom. Bought a new cell phone and although I was missing 8 cents, the cashier-guy dug into his pockets to pay the rest of that 8 cents for me. Good day, good day. Strangers are nice. Also, I believe that I also passed with kids around my neighborhood while I was walking my stupidly cute mutt, Sherlock. 

Confidence is boosting!

What it's like to just be coming out as trans

"You've never told us this before. I think it's a phase. See how you feel in a couple months."

"I don't feel comfortable with using your pronouns or name. You shouldn't just expect people to be fine with it."

"Are you sure?"

"Getting surgery won't change what you truly are; you can't just change your genes."

"What about my feelings??? This is pretty selfish of you."

#haven't come out yet #but this is what i predict more or less #from my family
