TO MOVE TO ARGENTINA SAY A MEMBER OF ZONA LA PLATA SENT YOU THIS INFO TO BECOME A REFUGEE

[malthusiana]

Heey, this is sweet, but you don’t need to become a refugee to live legally in Argentina if you’re Brazilian! It’s the easiest country to move to for Brazilians and the whole process to obtain a DNI (the Argentinian national identity) takes 90 days and you get a 2 year visa, which you can later turn into a permanent residency visa without much trouble. It’s very affordable, we don’t even need to translate the documents thanks to a bilateral agreement and you don’t have to prove you have a job lined up for you or anything. Unless Brazil leaves the Mercosur, there’s no need to go so far as to ask for refuge if you choose Argentina as your destination.

thank you so much for your addition! reblog this please

[messiology]

if you plan to do this, id suggest you do it as quickly as possible, because its been said bolsonaro wants to leave mercosur

[nowletsfixthismess]

The thing about being LGBT+ is, at some point in your childhood, no matter how accepting your parents are, at some point, you have to question: “do they love me unconditionally?” And then you have to plan for the possibility hat the answer is no. And that fucks you up. Straight cis people never have to question that.

[epicmurdock]

When girls have periods? That’s mother nature.

When boys have periods? That’s brother nature.

When people beyond the binary have periods? That’s O T H E R N A T U R E

Finally this joke gets the reception it deserves

How to have a binder without your parents knowing:

Open a private window on your browser and pick the binder you want online, add it to the website’s shopping cart and start to check out until you find how much it costs with shipping and tax. If you don’t have access to a computer at home, use one at the library. 

Save up enough money to buy the binder. Make sure you have a few dollars extra for the extra fee of buying a prepaid card, which can be around $4. If you have a debit card but don’t want your parents to see the purchase, withdraw money from your account and use the cash to buy a prepaid card. You can say you just wanted to have some cash in case you needed it.

Go into a store and buy a prepaid VISA gift card. They have them at lots of stores, even CVS. (You can also ask a friend to do this if you can’t walk/bike/get a ride to a store on your own)

Prepaid credit cards require you to be 18 to open an account, but you can purchase prepaid gift cards at a grocery or other store at any age and use them wherever Visa, MasterCard or AMEX are accepted. 

These gift cards, which aren’t reloadable, usually carry an activation fee along the lines of $4.95 for every $50 increment. You usually find them in denominations of $25, $50 or $100.

Buy the binder online. Put the name on the card as “Visa” in the payment section of the website. 

Clear your internet history if you’re at home and didn’t use a private browser window. Make sure the invoice is sent to an email that only you have access to, or a disposable email (just google “disposable email”)

Figure out where you’re going to get it shipped to.

Ship it to a consenting friend’s house or an accepting relative, if you have one. 

Ship it to your own house and try to get the mail yourself. If the parent gets there first, say you bought a present for someone. You may have to go to a store in person and buy a physical present to then gift to cover up that it wasn’t in the package. You could also ask a friend to lend you a shirt, tell your parents you won a shirt in a giveaway or bought it but decided to give it to a friend as a present, then give the shirt back to the friend. 

Get a PO box if you’re going to be getting things in the mail frequently. 

If you buy an Underworks binder on Amazon you can pick it up at an Amazon Locker at Whole Foods or a different location.

Hide it when you get it.

Handwash it when it gets dirty. Or start doing your laundry yourself. Wring it out and hang it to dry in the back of your closet.

Bring it in a bag with you to change into it when you’re out of the house.

(Or ask a friend with a debit/credit/gift card to buy you a binder if you give them the cash.)

This is amazing and can also be used to buy any kind of item you need without the threat of being outed to your parents or guardians. I wish I’d had this post years ago

Reasons LGBT cafes should exist

Non-sexualized spaces

Inclusive so u don’t have to out urself

No alcohol so younger ppl have full access

I fukkin love chai lattes

No pressure to find hook-ups, lookin at you my aro/ace pals

No need to socialize u can literally sit at a table and be gay all by ur self

Please make these a thing

[mischeviousfaeriedragon]

Adding to the list that autistic LGBT people would appreciate having this kind of space because clubs are such a sensory nightmare.

[profeminist]

Great point!

[adamcansuckme]

Not to mention genderfluid/trans people could give their chosen names to the person behind the counter and not get ugly looks

My best friend had a horrible top surgery experience, and his surgeon doesn’t seem to care. He is raising money to get a second opinion and (hopefully) another surgery to fix what his first surgeon did. Anyone can look at these pictures and realize that is NOT right.

So even if you cannot donate, please reblog and share this. My best friend is entirely broken over this and is strongly fighting a deep depression because of it.

He deserves happiness, and was so close to finally reaching it before this happened. I want nothing more than for him to love himself when he sees himself, including with his shirt off.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read, share, and/or donate!

PLEASE SHARE, it’s not even just about the money. Eli wants to get the word out and possibly prevent this happening to others!

[banana-cake-deactivated20201028]

This is…. Absolutely horrendous & unacceptable. Signal boost to get him the care & appearance he deserves!!!!!

You deserve to be loved

You deserve to be loved for your gender, not despite it.

You deserve to be loved, not because of how you can be misgendered but because of the gender you are.

You deserve to be loved, not because of the gender you ‘dress like’ but because of the gender you are.

You deserve to feel attractive as the gender you are, not the way you are misgendered.

You deserve better then people going “well you dress like X gender and I like X gender so that’s why I’m attracted to you.”

You deserve to have people attracted to you because of the gender you are, not despite it.

you deserve to feel attractive!

In honor of Janelle Monáe coming out I put together a lil graphic about bi & pan identities! This is based on my own experiences within the community as someone who uses both terms. It of course does not cover everything! Image description under the cut.

Keep reading

[thevagueambition]

Note a very important part of this post: 

“I am more comfortable with the term [bi/pan].”

No bigger reason than that is needed to identify with one term and not the other.

When people tell you they are one but not the other, that is it. 

You do not get to argue them using even the reasonable definitions. 

Bi people can describe their attraction the way pansexuality/romanticism is defined above and pan people can describe their attraction the way bisexuality/romanticism is defined above and that does not mean they are wrong. 

The only differences between bi and pan exists within the individuals who identify with one but not the other.

So like if you’re transgender or considering transitioning I would 110% recommend getting a job @ starbucks! I just got off the phone with our HR benefits center & basically the most I’ll have to pay for anything involving transitioning is $5,000! That includes hormone replacement therapy, facial feminization surgery, top surgery, bottom surgery, therapy, laser hair removal, voice therapy & some other shit! With my plan I get 70% coverage w/ a $650 deductible or something like that! Idk I’m just really excited & relieved that I’m not gonna have to make a go fund me or take out any loans or anything like that🙌🏾

[aaliyahbreaux]

Mind you ffs can run you about $40,000 & srs is $23,000 @ the cheapest!

[nephyria]

“asexuality is just the lack of a sex drive, or a really low one” uuhhh no. really, no. that is incorrect, you have been lied to, i’m sorry.

asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction to anyone. sex drive is your horny meter. you can still be horny and not be sexually attracted to people! similarly you can be sexually attracted to people and not be horny!! amaze

[captoring]

oh my god this actually clarifies so much thank you

‘We solely uplift the transfolk that stay as much as expectations,’ stated Hazel Edwards, a transgender youth who gave remarks throughout Thursday’s occasion to CBS Native.

The LGBTI Equality motion began in Philadelphia over 50 years in the past.

Again in 2017, a Philadelphia marketing campaign titled Extra Colour, Extra Pleasure, seemed for inclusivity of LGBTI people of shade who are sometimes overlooked of mainstream LGBTI dialogue.

‘To gasoline this essential dialog, we’ve expanded the colours of the flag to incorporate black and brown. It could look like a small step.

‘However collectively we are able to make huge strides towards a very inclusive group,’ the marketing campaign’s web site learn.

Stay strong <3

[bisexualgambit]

Told one of my friends that I unfriended my homophobic/transphobic uncle on facebook before coming out and they responded with “but how can you open his mind that way?” so just a reminder:

My job is to exist. My job is to be happy. My job is not to educate, I am willing to help you educate yourself, but above all else, it is my job to find peace that I’ve wanted for years. If someone does not make me feel good, why should I have to be a part of their life? I do not have to suffer so that others can grow. A blooming garden is not expected to keep it’s vines and weeds, so why am I?
