I love being trans.

And I'll always love it, even if I find out I'm not.

I'll never regret chasing such a beautiful dream like forming the self to what you want to see, no matter what others say or do.

I am beautiful.

Being trans is beautiful.

Being trans is strength a million times over.

I love you Trans People! We are stars and to stars we will return, bright and shining!! 🌟

I am in love with every aspect of me and every aspect of you, and we will live tans hand in trans hand forever.

Successful trans men

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

Ben Barres American neurobiologist for Stanford University and advocate for women in science. Barre’s research on the interactions between glial cells and neurons changed the way that we understand the brain and opened up a whole new field of research.

Stephen Whittle Professor of equalities law. Founder of FTM Network in 1989 and Press for Change in 1992. Whittle has been heavily involved in trans activism since joining the Self Help Association for Transsexuals in 1979. His research and activism has been instrumental in ensuring the rights of trans people in the UK.

Michael D Cohen Actor, teacher and coach. Making his break in award-winning Nickelodeon sitcoms Harvey Danger and Danger Force he was the first series regular actor to publicly come out as transgender. Cohen has a BSc in cell biology and a masters degree in adult education, teaching at his own acting studio and providing workshops.

Chris Mosier American triathlete and award-winning coach. Six time member of Team USA in both duathlon and triathlon, Mosier also won two national championships in racewalking and was the first transgender athlete to qualify for the Olympic trials to compete against other members of his gender.

Yance Ford African-American film producer and director. Ford received an Emmy for Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking and was nominated for an Oscar for his part in producing and directing the documentary Strong Island which follows the death of his brother.

Kael McKenzie Canadian judge. Serving in the Canadian Armed Forces for several years, McKenzie later attended law school and and worked as a lawyer before being appointed as a judge to the Provincial Court of Manitoba in 2015. 

Shane Ortega Native American former flight engineer in the US army, former marine and professional bodybuilder. Throughout his career Ortega has served in Iraq and Afghanistan in over 400 combat missions. He has a long history of advocating for the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and the recent banning on transgender service members in the US army. 

Drago Renteria Chicano photojournalist and deaf and LGBT activist. Renteria founded the Deaf Queer Resource and is CEO of DeafVision - a webhosting and development company run by deaf people and the founder of the National Deaf LGBTQ Archives. Renteria has been instrumental in both creating and hosting many online deaf/queer spaces online along with being heavily involved in real-world activism for decades.

Phillipe Cunningham Elected city councillor for ward 4 Minneapolis and previous special education teacher, Cunningham holds a masters degrees in Organizational Leadership & Civic Engagement and in Police Administration and is passionate about tacking inequalities in his community.

The vast majority of these men did not get puberty blockers early. I think that’s important for trans youth to know… that stupid legislation can’t stop them from being trans and transitioning well, even if the hoops are worse and take longer. (I think trans youth should be able to transition when and how they need to, but in the face of current transphobic legislation, you need to understand that even if they manage to delay you, they can’t stop you.)

[grison-in-space]

Ben Barres, in fact, didn’t transition until he was 43 and already a full fledged neuroscientist in a faculty position. He chose to use his circumstances, and the differences in treatment he experienced after transitioning, to draw attention to gender discrimination in his chosen field in all directions. I’ve spoken to a number of people who knew him over the years and have never heard anyone express anything but profound affection and admiration for him as a mentor and a teacher as well as a groundbreaking scientist.

So, you know. They really can’t stop you. Sometimes in science I hear trans folks, especially transmasc folks, expressing fear that they’re somehow letting the side down by choosing to live life in the way that feels most authentic to themselves. Ben’s legacy puts the lie to that fear: in choosing to transition in 1997, very publicly — in academia your name is part of your publication record and all his previous work was obviously published under his deadname — he was able to use his particular perspective and unique experiences to advocate for others even harder than he might otherwise have been able to do.

His memory is a blessing. His legacy is a gift.

[twinfools]

A new study looked at regrets rates between different elective surgeries and life choices:

Gender affirming surgery < 1%

Breast augmentation for cis people 5.1-9.1%

Bariatric surgery 19.5%

Having children 7%

Regret and gender-affirming care are presented by misinformation spreaders as an anomaly. It’s not. Regret persists across every procedure and life change.

[tboy-cock]

was talking to my gf about my fear of dying young for being trans and my mom putting my deadname on my gravestone, and she said "i hope that never happens, but if it does, i will carve your name into your grave myself if i have to." and i think theres something extremely raw about that sentiment and trans community in general. you can kill only our bodies, but you cant kill transsexuality

Here's hoping you outlive them all, but if you don't, you can still stop them from making a mockery out of your funeral.

[queeranarchism]

Also, little reminder that all the 'trans life expectancy' statistics people keep floating are FALSE. It's all bullshit. All of it.

There are no actual real trans life expectancy statistic out there because to get those you'd need a register where the death of every trans baby and every trans granny is reported. That does not exist. Instead what people share is average ages of trans murder victims. Which is the same age as the average age of cis murder victims. And while it's horrible that transphobic murders happen, the vast majority of trans people do not get murdered. So this does not translate to a lower average life expectancy at all.

Trans suicide rates, while still high, also aren't high enough to dramatically reduce trans life expectancy.

Trans people are poorer on average. That will result in poorer quality of life and lower life expectancy. But we're talking about averages of maybe 5 years lower than the average person in the same country. Which is an injustice but it say very little about you and when you will die. It certainly doesn't mean you're going to die young.

Statistically, you are going to grow old. You are going to become a grey wrinkled trans elder in a rocking chair. Please know this. Don't walk through life as if you don't have a future.

[ftmquestionconcernsstruggles]

i hope it's alright to ask, i need some stranger's opinions. i'm ftm, have been out for about 5 years and currently over 6 months on T, everything's going good and i'm sure i'm going in the right direction... i've just been feeling more and more the need to just. stop. and go back to living as a woman. it just feels like transitioning didn't really make anything actually better and basically i feel even less comfortable in my body (for reference i have body dysphoria but don't care much about how i'm seen socially and emotionally i feel neither like a man nor like a woman). like i KNOW i'm a man but it just doesn't seem worth it to me after all this time. can anyone relate or give some input?

Its completely okay to feel this way, Im sure there are other people who can relate. Sometimes changing our appearance doesnt help with our feeling like a man or a woman.

Healthline says dysphoria, "usually stays with a person throughout their life, though it can ebb and flow in degree and severity". And sometimes hormones and other ways of transistioning dont help us, but thats ok!

Some people who are ftm feel more comfortable still presenting as a woman and theres nothing wrong with that. It doesnt mean your being trans wrong because being trans is a spectrum.

[eroticcannibal]

Gonna look for confirmation but I've seen a claim relating to the news that the NHS is going to force GICs to hand over patient records to look for evidence of detransition, that the criteria they are going to use is if the patient has a GRC.

I dont have a solid source yet. Do not panic yet. But if true I will lose my fucking mind.

[eroticcannibal]

Confirmed by prof. Stephen whittle. Fuck.

[eroticcannibal]

The reccomendation is write to your GIC with the following:

“I do not give my permission for any aspect of my patient data to be submitted to, or collected for, the purpose of any research without my express permission in writing being obtained in advance”.

AND if you want a GRC get one ASAP. The wait time has increased so do both.

Reblog this post its important.
