So I’m not allowed to (socially) transition to the point that I really want.

I’m on testosterone, but only in secret. My parents have caught on to my voice dropping and I keep telling them it’s probably the season with allergies and this and that.

I’m not allowed to cut my hair, I used to have really long hair and I decided that I was so sick of it I finally cut it to around just shoulder length, my momma was so so so mad at me but I just couldn’t live with my long hair anymore. I use my (sort of) dead name (I don’t necessarily feel dysphoric over it but my name now helps me pass better) I have to keep my hair tucked inside a cap which can get messy and quite frankly I can’t do that while I’m out with my parents.

They know I wear caps, they let me wear them when I was in early hs but now since I dress a lot more masculine they don’t let me because then I look like a genuine man.

I only wear them when I’m outside by myself cause thank god I know how to drive but only to college.

Even then I tend to get misgendered and it just fucks with me honestly.

But I keep telling myself that it’s not my time to shine. Even though I was planning ever since hs that my college life will be the best. Maybe it’s just not here yet.

Even though life may be really tough right now, it might be for the best. Maybe there are better things ahead for me. I’ll just try my best to do what I can now so that I can benefit in the future.

so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.

please hear us.

June 21, 2024 - Namibia's high court has declared the "sodomy law" that criminalised gay sex unconstitutional!

Namibia inherited the apartheid-era law banning “sodomy” and “unnatural offences” when it gained independence from South Africa in 1990. [link]

god i am always the FIRST to rally against the failures of just fighting for tolerance from straight cis ppl, but also we haven't even fucking reached tolerance yet.

we still need "We're Queer We're Here Get Used To It", because i don't know about you guys, but from what I'm seeing, they aren't fucking used to it.

we need that old school "we're your hairdressers, your teachers, your neighbors, your siblings, your friends" energy back ASAP. quietly queer isn't cutting it for me anymore. in your face dykes fag queer trans forever until i'm fucking dead.

Hi There! I am a fully cis man. However I am disgusted by the treatment of transfem users on this website. So, I emailed some press about just my recent issues I’ve personally noticed and support emails documented, and Guess what, you can too!

Yeah, you can do that! If you are a trans person you can say “Hey, this shit is going on.” And if you have enough documentation, they will notice and say Hey, that’s weird? Here’s some now

If you are a trans user on this website with documented support emails with Tumblr’s behavior or can personally attest to how staff treated you? send out information let them know what is going on, and please find other websites that you get your news from to let them know! If i’m nuked? Lmao.

"School districts that don’t respect transgender and nonbinary students’ pronouns or force them to use restrooms that don’t align with their gender identity could be committing federal civil rights violations beginning this fall.

Today, the U.S. Department of Education announced the issuance of a final rule under Title IX to protect people in public schools from sex-based discrimination and harassment. The announcement marks a significant update in federal efforts to combat sex discrimination in federally funded educational institutions. During a call with reporters, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona emphasized the administration’s dedication to ensuring that Title IX effectively serves all students by providing safe, welcoming, and rights-respecting educational environments."
