I wanted to make a post about Leelah Alcorn but I lack the requisite words to describe how I feel. But this is exactly what it should be like. Leelah’s death is a heartbreaking tragedy and it should leave everyone speechless. That being said, however, we cannot simply sit back and mourn her by reblogging text posts and saying how messed up this is. In her note, she said that she wanted her death to mean something. So please, help her rest in peace by helping all you can and adding resources you find below. We can make a change. You matter.

In light of Leelah’s suicide, one of so many:

If you are a trans person, especially a trans woman, who needs support, questions answered, or a list of resources, or just someone to talk to you can talk to me here, on our answer blog http://fyseq.tumblr.com/ (if you want to make sure a trans...

The only way I will rest in peace is if one day transgender people aren’t treated the way I was, they’re treated like humans, with valid feelings and human rights. Gender needs to be taught about in schools, the earlier the better. My death needs to mean something. My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say “that’s fucked up” and fix it. Fix society. Please

About the new Trans Lifeline: (877) 565-8860

Trans Lifeline is a non-profit dedicated to the well being of transgender people. We run a hotline staffed by transgender people for transgender people. Trans Lifeline volunteers are ready to respond to whatever support needs members of our community might have.

This is a FREE helpline run by volunteers and supported by the community.

Who is this line for?

This line is primarily for transgender people experiencing a crisis. This includes people who may be struggling with their gender identity and are not sure that they are transgender. While our goal is to prevent self harm, we welcome the call of any transgender person in need. We will do our very best to connect them with services that can help them meet that need. If you are not sure whether you should call or not, then please call.

Who will answer when I call?

Our hotline is staffed by the true experts on transgender experience, transgender people themselves. Our volunteers are all trans identified and educated in the range of difficulties transgender people experience. Our volunteers are dedicated to improving the lives of transgender people. Full line up of operators.

When can I call?

Call whenever you need help.

Who made this?

Greta Martela created this hotline to help you. It’s powered byPocket Hotline, a system that provides personalized hotlines for communities.

I’m not in a crisis, but I’d like to talk to someone about Trans Lifeline.

If you are a member of the press, represent other LGBT orgranizations or are otherwise looking for more information about our work, please call Greta Martela at (415) 483-5361.

Here’s the sex talk every mother should really be having with her daughter

You aren’t a slut if you have sex.

This bears repeating: being sexually active does not make you a slut. In fact, nothing makes you a slut because, as one woman’s experiment showed, the very concept is nothing more than a linguistic tactic employed to police female sexuality.

Someone asked us:

how do you pay for an abortion? why won’t medicaid cover it?

Those are very good questions – ones that a lot of people are curious about.

For those of you who don’t know, Medicaid is government-funded insurance for low-income people....

I make sex normal by not only taking birth control each night, but also using condoms for protection! I keep condoms in my top dresser drawer, in my purse on the go, and even in my backpack to class! It is important to always be prepared…even when you least likely expect it!
