Click here to support Help two trans people move before being evicted organized by Jasper Valentine

My roommate and I, both trans, were 4 days late with rent due to her starting a brand new job. I'm disabled and I've been supporting two people on my disability income for the past 2 months. (which is not enough to live on for even one person) I was finally able to scrounge up the money and when...

Please help boost- ANYTHING helps

My roommate (@themb0) and I were 4 days late with rent this month, yet somehow us being good on it for the past 6 months didn’t mean anything to our transphobic landlord. Circumstances (I just started a new job, Jasper’s not getting a disability check until the 19th) prevented us from paying right away like usual, but in the past, this wouldn’t have been a big deal. We have paid on two cards before, but as soon as we meet her to discuss payment and both present femininely, we are met with misgendering, and outright denial of our money despite the fact that we have it. After insisting we pay on one card or move out in seven days, we understood that we’re obviously not welcome here and are now in the process of moving ASAP.

Here’s the kicker, Michigan has NO protection for trans people in the event of a landlord simply wishing to evict us simply for existing. While federal law states that we can’t even be charged a LATE fee until 30 days, and she is doing a number of other illegal things (charging for service animals, etc.) we are afraid that any action taken against her may end unfavorably, and we’ll end up with the short end of the stick.

So that’s where this post comes in. We need to move as soon as possible and need help. Staying in a car for a week or so isn’t an option due to pet concerns and the sheer amount of stuff we have here, so ideally we’d get enough money for a moving truck and a deposit for a rental home. We’ll also need money to last us when it comes to food, at least for a bit- and gas money so I can get to and from work.

Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this whole thing, and again: anything helps. Right now we’re at $0 out of $800 for our goal on gofundme.

something i wish i had realized earlier: you can write poems on the same subject more than once. you can write, paint, draw the same thing over and over if you want to. you can spend your whole life making art about oranges. i think i always felt this pressure to get it right the first time like i couldn’t go back and use that inspiration again. but you can. you can go back and revisit it. you can pick up the conversation again and again if you have more to say.

my jock older brother is such a smash bros nerd like full on gets-into-passionate-melee-discourse geekery and meanwhile i literally cant play video games so every time we sit down together to play smash he will at some point turn to me and go “i cant tell you how much this enrages me” because my only 2 strategies are 1. button smash and 2. use pink characters

hi can we normalize the idea of choosing not to drink

[cherryclit]

no cuz thats fucking lame

[fairy25]

hey it actually isn’t! i get really really sick whenever i have more than a beer or two and i absolutely hate how people assume i must be lame/a kill joy when i refuse a drink. people choose to be sober or mostly sober for a variety of reasons, e.g. addiction, medical, etc. and not a single one of them is “because i’m a lame person who hates fun” 

[love-god-herself-deactivated202]

The degree to which drinking is seen as a must in social situations is fucking weird, and I think the fact that people are more put off by non-drinkers than by how much alcohol consumption has permeated the culture is … troubling.

shoutout to my Asian trans people. to all the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Pakistani, Indian, Sri Lankan, and so many more trans people out there. we aren’t represented much, in shows or cartoons or anything. but you know what? you’re still valid, even if you don’t see yourself on screen. you’re still a boy, or girl, or anything in between. maybe even just… not. you are valid, Asian trans people.

fat trans ppl deal with a lot of shit and its so sucky because some people will only support skinny trans ppl bc thats all they can conceptualize and accept when trans ppl in actuality come in all different types of bodies

[gummysdeleted-deactivated201911]

if u dont support fat trans ppl the way u support skinny trans ppl u need to rethink what kind of “ally” u are.

[queenofnevers]

As a fat trans woman this is so true even within the trans community. I’ve had so many other trans women invalidate me, be dismissive of my issues and experience, and so forth simply because of my size. It’s really fucking disappointing to run into.

Y’all should check out the works of Rakeem Cunningham! He photographs a lot of diverse and beautiful people, both cis and trans. As a gay trans man myself, they really help to reassure me that there are gay men beyond photogenic cis twinks and bears. These photographs are from his series Body Pride:

These are from his Trans Professionals series:

Also, check out Jess T Dugan’s photographs of trans and genderqueer people:

As a trans photographer, Jess Dugan is basically my role model. Her photos of elder trans people, To Survive On This Shore, is amazing.
