How are you all starting your morning??💦💦

[transpossumboy]

i’ve never been happier to meet a trans person irl before. my LGBTQ+ studies prof is a transmasc person and it’s so reassuring to see someone my parents age who’s happy and thriving and the fact that they transitioned when they were almost 40 and pass to the point where nobody in the class knew they were trans fills me with so much joy!!

Dear trans masc tumblr, I need help!

Hey! I'm a trans dude who has been on T for 10 months, and this summer I've finally hit the stinky stage. I am SUFFERING. I need to change my shirts 3× a day if I don't want the underarms to be soaked, I stuff my underarms with paper towels to soak up the sweat, and worst of all- if I wear a shirt too many times it smells terrible no matter how many times I wash it! I'm afraid to wear my favourite shirts and I've had to throw away TWO of my work shirts because they reek the moment I put them on.

I really need some suggestions or advice :( I don't know how long this will last, and I'm tired of fearing I stink and running out of clothes to wear. I've tried soaking my dirty clothes in white vinegar and then washing them with more vinegar, but even that doesn't help. What do I do? How long will I he Senior Stench???? Please help

I adore being trans. I adore being queer. This is who I am!

More Ramblings!

I forgot to tell you, my friends, that this May 10th or 11th marked 10 (ten) whole years since I first came out as a trans man!

(Im open to asks/questions/new friends, i believe education is an important part of the path to acceptance)

TL;DR: trans kids become trans adults, trans kids you absolutely fucking belong on this planet and you are loved and cherished, if not by your own family then by me bc im adopting you now as your older brother. My experience as a trans man is below the cut

I came out at the age of 11, back in early 2014, just before trans ppl and bathrooms had really started to catch the eye of the general public.

My dad was quick to support my medical transition, and while my ma took a moment, she got there. My dad ended up only really supporting me if i matched his machismo ideals, but this has gotten a lot better over the years.

I have been extremely INCREDIBLY lucky to be able to come out and successfully begin my transition at such a young age and every day im grateful for that. That being said, I lost a lot of family because of it. I lost close and important friendships because of it. I felt shame for such a long ass time because of it. I was bullied by students, parents, and teachers. I've been assaulted, Ive faced medical discrimination numerous times, I was the first trans patient at this psych ward i went to and got weird treatment. I have struggled a lot with feeling like i belong in this world. And now at the age of 21 I still do sometimes.

But

With all the bad things that've happened.

The family that stayed ive grown closer with. The new friends i FINALLY made in college are so incredibly supportive and I'm lucky that most of them are also trans or queer in some way (most of my friends are long distance but idc theyre my best friends). I wouldnt trade them for the world. I I havent had a typical teen experience but I've gotten to lead important projects for the safety of trans students at my high school, I've been a part of my university's qsa, I've gotten to serve on a panel for GLSEN Los Angeles where I worked with city officials on how to make la safer for trans/nb people. I've had my art about being trans get into galleries and I've won a couple awards for it. I get to attend other queer events near me and sell my art there and meet other queer folks in a town that's not a super safe place to be queer in.

I've gotten to see people grow and change their opinions on trans ppl bc now they know one and understand the concept better. Ive gotten the absolutely honor of people telling me that because I'm so open about myself that they began to feel comfortable exploring more about thelmselves.

I've lived more in these past 10 years than a lot of people will in 20. And as hard as its been I'm so FUCKING proud of how far I've come and I can't wait for the next 10.

It's not always glamorous, it's fucking hard as hell. For a long while I'd trade being a trans man for being a cis woman in a heartbeat, but now I wouldn't trade being trans for the world.

[iibislintu]

two kids came to talk to me at lunch, wanting to know about trans stuff and terminology etc, and at some point of the discussion i realised they don't know i'm trans, like

they know i use random pronouns

they know i'm very tall and have boobs and a woman's name and sometimes facial hair and a very deep voice

they know i have pride flags all over my classroom

also i was wearing a trans pride t shirt while we had the conversation

and they've seen all of that and just been like, "well that's just what iibis is like"

and if that's not proof that kids are great people then i don't know what is - they may not know the lingo but they do know what matters.

Just random advice for trans people and allies

i really suggest a browser suggestion called shinagami eyes. if someone is a transphobe it marks them in red and if someone is pro trans it marks them in green (edit: after learning some not so satisfactory information abt the dev, nevermind)

Happy trans day of visibility to all you lovely people’s out there! So proud you have made it this far!

[spaced-out-enby]

Happy Pride month or something 🥴

[countfagula]

I’m a little late for pride but here’s something!

[truthcakes]

So I asked for help and my partner shaved my head for my birthday 🎂🎉🥳

I'd never done the whole thing, always clinging to a little bit of length for comfort. But then I had the thought, "this scares me, and it's something that can't really hurt me. Fuck it, I'm not staying afraid of a haircut, let's do it!"

Every day has been an interesting experience since, but one constant is that I'm glad I did it 💜

(Ey/Xe/fae/+ neopronouns pls. Very much not a boy or a girl.)

This past week had a *lot* of downs, all connected to my elderly dad’s impending end of life, but there was this one sudden UP. I seriously did not expect my nurse practitioner to be all “sure, let’s do this,” when I brought up GAHT this week, but Yay, Me! for pushing through the medical anxiety.

[zinniajones]

We won! After more than a year since the passage of SB 254, nurse practitioners can prescribe HRT to trans adults in Florida again 💊💉🧑‍⚕️✌️ https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flnd.460963/gov.uscourts.flnd.460963.223.0.pdf

I just saw a post on a Facebook group that I am a part of, it was a trans person who was happy that they are now a trans adult. We shouldn't have to celebrate becoming an adult because we're so scared that we won't become one.
