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
My partners friend went missing if you all could signal boost this!
I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it
reblog to scare the aphobes
nex benedict, a 16 year old nonbinary student in oklahoma, was beaten to death by three of their female classmates in the same district libs of tiktok has been targeting. not only is this heartbreaking for us to hear about, but i can’t even begin to imagine what this must be like for the family.
too many trans children have died and too few people are talking about this
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.
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

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.
Weird bug I found as a kid bit me
Why are you trans: wrong answer edition. Tell us why you're trans, wrong answers, though :)
