trans boys/men are valid, no matter how they look.
- pre t? valid
- boobs? still valid
- can’t transition because of something/someone? guess what? you’re VALID
there’s no “right” way to be trans, remember that. don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
how much it costs a trans person to physically transition: $7000-$50000+
how much it costs you to respect a trans person regardless if they have physically transitioned or not: $0
the recent trend (and I don’t mean that in a derisive way at all) among Us Kids of invoking religious language (heathen, blessed, holy, godless, etc) has made it so that it’s actually really jarring when I’m reading about homophobic christians and they say things like “god will shelter us” or “this is a godless city.” I’m like no you don’t get to say things like that that’s gay culture now
are millenials killing the heathenism industry
I would like to suggest that we appropriate “abomination” next, as that is a very cool word, and I’m mad that the homophobes are having all of the fun.
You know what’s so great about this picture? You can’t see my chest.
As a pre transitioned transman I experience a lot of dysphoria with my chest area. Some days it’s very difficult and it’s all I think about… while some days it’s just a passing thought.
Regardless, I get out there assert myself as the man I am chest or not. Buttttt sometimes pictures catch me off guard like this one and give me hope that I will be able to have my body align with my mind.
But until then: I am still valid, I am still manly as hell, and I am still Harrison.
there are people you haven’t met yet who will love you
2017 started out as the worst year of my life, and yet, by the end it became the best of them. Transitioning has been hard at times but so worth it. I’m finally starting to like my reflection (my voice~) and it’s an indescribably amazing feeling.
2018, come tf at me
Millennial culture is having two wildly different conversations with the same person on two different apps at the exact same time
conversation 1: cheese borger
conversation 2: that’s why I think I’m so afraid of making myself vulnerable, because my father taught me I couldn’t ever truly trust anyone
I hope love finds you in 2018
I hope health finds u in 2018
I hope wealth finds you in 2018
I hope happiness finds you in 2018
I hope success finds you in 2018
I hope self-love finds you in 2018
I hope supportive people find you in 2018
I hope all the dogs find you in 2018
I hope good grades find you in 2018
I hope validation finds you in 2018
I hope good luck finds you in 2018
I hope inner peace finds you in 2018
reblog for good luck
Hey, so idk if this is the place to ask this question, but does planned parenthood give hrt to people who are 16+ or 18+ y/o? I've asked a few planned parenthood social media accounts but none have answered, and I can't find an answer on their website.
Lee says:
You have to be 18 or older to do informed consent, which is how Planned Parenthood tends to prescribe HRT.
You could try scheduling an appointment with a local Planned Parenthood to ask them, but if you’re under 18 they probably won’t do it (I wasn’t able to start T until 18 with the Planned Parenthood near me), and if they did allow under eighteens you’d probably have to have a letter, and definitely have to have permission from your parents/legal guardian.
Information on getting the therapist’s letter and/or going through informed consent
To Friends and Family members of Trans individuals:
“I’m a…”
It’s scary. But if it’s scary for you just imagine how it is for the person saying it.
Coming out is one of the most terrifying things to do. It can take months to years of struggle. From internalized phobias against themselves, to fear of impending rejection and reactions. Many people will just continue to pretend, as though nothing at all is going on, while suffering silently on the inside.
If some one has come out to you it means that they trust you, that they are being terribly vunerable before you.
You may not be happy. You may be scared. You may be uncomfortable.
Let me tell you one little thing.
Likely, this person cares about you very much, and wants you in their life. You’re entitled to, and allowed to, feel whatever way you want to feel, but don’t let that overshadow the person that has opened themselves up to you.
Don’t belittle your own feelings, but certaintly don’t belittle theirs.
You can’t change who they are. You never could.
You can bear witness to the person they will become.
You can be a part of their life.
You can care about them and be there for them no matter whether you agree with what they’re doing or not.
In the end, everyone is different but they are still people. They are still the person that you knew before they came out to you. The only difference is that now you know, and are privy to, a more authentic and more real version of them than you were before.
So, you may be scared.
That’s okay.
Just don’t forget that we’re people too,
That coming out is a leap of faith,
And that nothing has changed except fo the fact that now you know.
do older generations not get fatalistic humor?? like the other day my friend’s parents were hanging around and we were joking and i was like “well no matter what i can always fling myself off the nearest cliff” and they didn’t laugh then later the mom pulled me aside and was like “maybe you should get some help, sweetie” like stfu?? help? in this economy? i don’t think so, debra
I honestly don’t think they get it as a coping mechanism, they think it’s a cry for help rather than actually helping.
i’d even say it’s past just coping and is also now a category of Stuff Kids Got Used To When No One Was Looking; not everyone using that humor is even covering up something bigger, we just stopped thinking fatalistic = taboo/unspeakable somewhere along the line, and most parents don’t seem to know why or how ~
My boss opened a door and missed me by inches, he said “whoops, almost killed you there!” My result of “Oh, if only.” Led to an awkward end of shift debrief.
This generation shares the same humor as the goddamn Addams Family and the previous generation is the White Sixties Family™ that lives next door and runs away screaming at the end of the episode
I will say that it’s interesting because this kind of humor is very, very prevalent somewhere else…
the military.
Which is honestly a place you would expect fatalistic humor to be common and used as a coping method. You’re one “oops” away from death on the flight deck, one inch to the left and you don’t have a head anymore because the jet that just landed now owns it as a wing-tip decoration. So you joke about it because lowkey you’re fucking terrified it’ll happen, but you’re also desensitized to the danger itself because you face it every single day for 12 hours at a time.
Anyway so we all know the mindset you adopt in the military because of the danger, so to realise that an identical sense of humor has been adopted by normal people should probably tell you something very important about the amount of stress modern young folks experience in daily life.
That last one… it’s true
It was also common in previous generations that had to deal with say, war and economic depression on a massive scale.
One of my favorite movies is Singing In The Rain which came in out 1952, right on the tailcoat of two world wars and a looming cold one, and for all it’s a cheery happy musical, it’s got this really bleak witty humor too, things like “call me a cab!” “okay, you’re a cab!” or the scene where Don says he’ll be homeless by the next day and Cosmo cheerfully tells him not to be ridiculous…the bank bailiffs don’t open till Monday.
And then quite probably one of my favorite opening lines, where two young girls are watching Lina on screen and one says “She’s so refined. I think I’ll kill myself.”
Which really resonates with a lot of the things we say now when talking about people we find personally attractive, meaning not only is fatalism not a new trend, but those two girls at the starting sequence of Singing In The Rain are totally there for Lina, not Don.
You’re welcome.

Im sick and tired of being a political conversation.
Im sick of my transgender brother and sisters getting killed. Im sick of being seen as a rapist of an act of crime that someone else said “trannies do.” Im sick and tired of other people deciding if i fucking get rights or not.
Im sick and tired of wanting to piss in the guys restroom but out of genuine fear of getting beat up, i dont go and instead, i get a urinary tract infection.
Im tired of my genetalia being other peoples business. Im tired of seeing people on the news not know what theyre talking about when it comes to being transgender and they laugh it off awkwardly so their news channel can get more views.
Im tired of knowing that “being okay with trans people” is progressive. We are human beings, where are you progressing? You just admitted youre okay with people, do you need a star? Im sick and tired of people looking at me and knowing me only as a tranny, when im so much more than that.
Im sick and tired of knowing that there are people who arent allowed to get married in different countries, just for loving someone. Im sick and fucking tired of my gender and sexuality “being against whats normal and what god created you as.” If youre gonna say that my existance is a sin, then go check the last time you cut your hair, or the last time you ate some shrimp, or the last time you wore clothes of different fabrics, or the last time you got a fucking divorce.
Im sick and tired of all these false accusations and people telling me ill never be a real boy. So fucking what?! My life isnt your business unless i told you its okay to put in your opinion, and you havent.
Im sick and tired of me feeling like i shouldnt even live anymore because of the dysphoria i go through and the pain i see other fellow transguys and transgirls go through.
Im fucking tired of my existance being a political conversation.

For the first time, The Associated Press now permits journalists to use "they" as a singular pronoun.
For the first time, The Associated Press now permits journalists to use “they” as a singular pronoun. The AP announced the style change Friday at the American Copy Editors Society conference in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The change follows years of questions among copy editors, reporters and editors about the use of language specifically about people who are non-binary and don’t use gendered pronouns.
The change is in effect online and will be in the print edition of the 2017 AP Stylebook on May 31. The new edition includes 200 new and updated entries.
