I think more people should have a trans girl bestie who is obsessed with a specific animal. Because not only will she enlighten you about gender in ways you didn’t know before but when you come out to her as trans her response is a gif of a shark swimming around with the caption “that’s so cool!!”

#.txt #there’s multiple people this is referring too . love my trans girl besties who helped me realize my gender all those years ago ❤️#trans #transgender

Tall trans girl reading this: you aren't too tall for heels. If you want to wear them, wear them proud. There is nothing more spectacular than a tall woman in heels, and nobody can ever take that away from you, not even yourself 🩷🪻

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #mtf #nonbinary #trans positivity #honestly my favourite kind of woman is somebody who's told 'arent you too tall for those?' when she wears heels...#...and the next day she shows up in even TALLER heels #sometimes womanhood is a huge 'fuck you' to people who don't get who you are i think #I LOVE YOU WOMEN... 💐💐💐💐🫶#(also this includes all type of heeled shoe. heeled boots are a great choice to start out ime)#(if you want to practoce wearing heels without Wearing Heels get platform boots imo)#(i think a big reason i can wear actual heels is that i wear heeled platform boots daily)#(and it really helped me get used to how heels feel without the fear of heels that are really thin)

LGBTQ+ RIGHTS IN RUSSIA ARE BEING ERODED COMPLETELY

The ministry of justice in Russia has proposed to label "the global organization of LGBT" an extremist group. The court case is set to happen on the 30th of November. If passed, this measure will make LGBTQ+ activism near impossible. Activists could face up to 6 years in prison. Yes, 6 years for advocating for equal rights.

Despite the fact that lawmakers have no legal footing to judge "the global organization of LGBT" as an existing group, considering there is no hierarchy, no leader and no such name is used widely, this will probably be passed. And the lives of queer Russians will be in jeopardy.

I beg of you to spread this post. I know it's exhausting considering everything that's happening in the world. I know the genocide in Palestine is more pressing, I know the war in Ukraine is still happening, but please. We need to be heard. Someway. Somehow.

I'm Russian, I'm queer, I will not let this regime break me. no matter how hard it tries.

I work at a pharmacy right

today someone came up wearing a “they/them” pronoun pin

i picked up their rx (prescription) and asked them “hey do you have an alternative name you prefer?”

they immediately lit up and thanked me for asking and shared with me their new name

(super easy to add a “preferred” name and make note of pronouns on our end so no biggy whatsoever)

I let them know I added it to our system for future rxs

they walked away with their rx with the biggest smile on their face

allyship is so simple. the smallest things can make a world of a difference.

and if you’re afraid of coming out because of how others will respond, that’s totally understandable. but i promise you, there’s so many people who will accept you and do what they can to make you feel comfortable.

anyway just thought I’d share this little piece of joy today :)

#queer #transgender #transmasc #nonbinary #lgbtq #lgbtqia #trans ally #I’m queer too just closeted at work #i rlly hope this doesn’t read like a then everybody clapped #i just wanna help people :)

Here's a petition for combatting the latest anti-trans stuff in Alberta!! I'm pretty sure you have to at least be in Canada to sign it, but I'm not sure if you need to be in Alberta specifically. Please sign it if you're able to, this directly impacts my community and people I care about!!!

If you can't sign, there's a legal fund donation page for the Skippingstone Foundation, which is a group I can personally vouch for and that does so so so much for the community.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope we can get through this together!!

#skippingstone foundation my beloved. please please please check out their website at the VERY LEAST!!!!!!!!#the founders are amazing people and the resources they have are fantastic!!#also!! help make my shitty province less shitty please!!#batty blogging #text #link #activism #lgbt #lgbtqia #lgbtq community #queer #trans #transgender #trans rights #canada #sorry for all the tags i really dont know how to tag this!!

Want to go on T but hate needles?

I hesitated to start HRT for a long time because of my paralyzing fear of needles, and the stories I heard about testosterone in pill form. However. I'm now 101 days on testosterone!!

Here's my experience with testosterone gel!! (Spoiler: I highly recommend it.)

___________________________________________

At the start, I was applying one pump of gel to each upper arm and using the back of a spoon to spread and rub the gel in (carefully marked "t spoon" and stored with my testosterone gel). I was advised to only use the unbroken skin of my upper arm, and to carefully wash my hands after applying.

(Most side-effects associated with testosterone gel come from accidentally eating it, because most people rub the gel into their arm using their hands. Gel on hands then transfers to mouth. I try to avoid that by applying with a spoon! I do rinse the spoon and wash my hands anyway to be extra safe.)

After rubbing the gel into my arms w the spoon, I held up my arms and walked around T-posing for like ten minutes so that the gel could dry before I put on a shirt.

Initially I wasn't rubbing it in enough with the spoon, and I would see a white film on my skin after drying. Nowadays I rarely see that. The gel smells strongly of alcohol, similar to hand sanitizer, so that's also unpleasant. I've gotten used to it.

For the first week, (and ONLY the first week), I would see a rash appear on my arms after applying the gel. The rash was sudden and painful, but would disappear after 20 minutes. I also experienced two reynaud's attacks while the gel was drying during that first week. (I often have reynaud's attacks when anxious, and it was winter, so I think that's not the gel's fault.)

After that first week I never rashed again, and there haven't been any more reynaud's attacks during application.

What changes have I seen while using t gel?

Voice: After 4 weeks, my voice was noticeably different. Not so much deep, but sort of? wider? and my voice was cracking a lot. In the last 10 weeks it has been becoming smoother, richer, a bit deeper. I absolutely hated my voice four months ago, but now I get a bit of euphoria everytime I hear myself.

Emotions: From weeks 2 to 8, I experienced frequent fits of anger, irritability, crying, and horniness. Very weird to me because I'm usually levelheaded and have no sex drive. However!! in the last six weeks, even though we raised my dose, ive rarely been angry or horny. I also haven't been getting depressed, and increasingly I feel like I can cope with stress. I haven't cried in about five weeks. I spend most of my time feeling content. Every part of me feels better and healthier.

Muscle: I haven't been working out more than usual (oops), but I can see that my arms are becoming more toned. Won't share the photos because they're goofy but I keep doing the 💪 thing at myself while my t gel is drying.

Periods: I have still continued to menstruate regularly, having 3 periods in the last 101 days. My cycles were already on the long side at 35 days. However, those first two periods on T were painless and incredibly short; I bled for two days the first time and 11 hours the second time, and experienced no cramps, no dizziness, no migraines. (The most recent period was two days long but i did have cramps and a migraine T_T. Doc says it's because I raised my dose right beforehand, and I should stop menstruating entirely soon.)

Hair: I already had a bit of scruff on my neck pre-T, but that was mostly just on one side. I now have thick patches of hair under my chin on both sides and the chin itself is starting to fill in. My longest hairs are 5cm but curl. There are coarse hairs appearing by the edge of my lips. I have also noticed that my leg hair is becoming more coarse, and my right nipple has become a forest. Only my right nipple, for some reason! Very few people in my family are bald, but I was still a little worried so I've been keeping track of hair loss on my scalp; however it has been the same amount as usual. Hair still thick.

Blood test results: My pre-T testosterone level was 56. I was told that 2-70 are normal readings for a cis woman. At my 3 month checkup, my testosterone level was 251!! This is still low for a cis man my age (normal is like 650-800), and I wanted a bit more, so the doctor agreed to increase my dose two weeks ago.

Confidence: I am thrilled to see mirrors lately. My jaw seems more defined with the bit of hair to shadow it; my eyes are happier. I keep flirting with myself, partially to hear my own voice. I talk to my students about transitioning, and although a couple have been a bit transphobic, I've been able to laugh about it. I've gone on a couple dates and actually felt attractive and worthy of attention. I feel alive.

Bottomline -

testosterone gel is working wonders for me. I wish I'd known about this nine years ago, when I first tried to go on HRT. Instead, I injected myself with testosterone twice and took myself to the ER over the panic attack I had 🫠 (I don't miss being 19!)

I'm still a stressy motherfucker, and it feels so much safer and more comfortable to apply medicine externally. I know about the dangers of transference, so I apply the gel with a spoon and wear the same long-sleeved shirt throughout the day, careful not to expose others to the gel.

I have so much farther to go, but it actually feels possible now. Easy, even.

If you want to know anything more about this, please, please ask me!! I have anon on, as well!

I had a friend come to me today and ask me, "How do I fight against the genocide" (of trans people)

And it made me realize that I didn't know. Because sure, we're all pissed and scared, but fighting something this big seems impossible.

So I guess the only answer I have is

Where you can.

Find a way, ANY way, to resist.

Make little signs to leave in places to educate the masses about what we are facing

Find a local protest

Tell everyone you know. Don't you EVER shut up about it, because freedom will die in silence.

This is how you fight a fascist, not in the streets or on the internet, but in the minds of the people they need to convince that you are the enemy.

Do not let them into the heads of your friends, your family, your coworkers. Do not give them an inch.

Make sure everyone knows what they are. They are pure fucking evil, and the enemy of anyone who claims to be a supporter of any human rights at all.

Do not let them keep you quiet.

#please reblog this.#so many people talk about how we need to fight back #but no one ever says how #i hope this can help but only if yall spread the word #trans #transgender #trans genocide #lgbt #human rights #trans rights #R writes a thing

Please support the survival and transition fund of this Nigerian transfemme! Her name is Lola, and as a Nigerian lesbian myself I'm aware of just how dangerous Nigeria is for queer Nigerians.

She's currently in need of money for survival and gender affirming care. The homeless shelter she was staying at will be shut down by the end of June. Her previous organizer ghosted her with whatever money was donated, so I have stepped in to help.

Please share and/or donate!

#angel posts #pinned #donation #gfm #lesbian #transgender #nigeria #any amount helps #also suggest me tags for this i want this to reach as many people as possible

hello it's top surgery fundraising time

hello :) i try to keep the specifics of my real life and face private here but i'm breaking that today a little for a very important reason- i need money to help cover my top surgery! i have gotten some help through financial assistance programs but am trying to raise more, specifically because my parents have rescinded their support.

if you can donate, it would mean so much. make no mistake, there are so many very important places your money should be going right now and i completely understand if this is not where you can help, but for any of you who can, i am so grateful. i am not exaggerating when i say this is going to be life-saving care for me and by god ik it takes village to get there.

#dont mind the Vast Difference In Tone in the fundraiser desc itself. i tailored it to try and get middle aged cis people to donate.#this means so much to me. the goodness of the internet is an incredible thing and i've already gotten a little help #will be intermittently resharing w/ updates #typhros top surgery #trans #transgender #top surgery

So often, twink death is framed as a bad thing. However, the "twink death" for trans men* is frankly one of the most healing things you will bear witness to (pun intended).

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #nonbinary #honestly i hated being called a twink pre-t because so many people treated me like... lesser for it?#like... 'i think you are effeminate (and less of a man)... but i /guess/ you're still a man🙄! hope that helps' is how it sounded to me #and so often it seems like 'twink death' is just... fear of aging in a world that hates the realoties of the human body #i have compassion for the fear of aging however it will pretty much always be harmful to the person experiencing it...#...in that they too will age. no matter what you do to prevent aging it will still happen...#...i don't think fear is the fault of the individual - it's a systemic issue. however i think it's needless suffering...#...you certainly do not have to /like/ aging and it can truly suck at times. i just want people to think about why they fear it y'know?#anyway that's what i think motivates this apprehensive attitude about people and how they change and whatnot #though my twink death isn't me becoming a bear (in the future who knows but for now not so much)
