Trans people who don’t care about passing are magnificent
Trans people who want to pass but aren’t passing are absolutely amazing
Trans people who don’t pass are brave and super strong
Trans people who can’t pass because everyone thinks they’re either a boy or a girl are valid
And that's that on that.
Apparently I wasn't done 🤔
domino is back for trans day of visibility! she says trans rights!!
Part of my job is processing all the new incoming books and putting our property stamp on them and barcodes, so I get to also see all the adorable new kid's books too with wonderful gorgeous art in them but ANYWAYS THIS NEW ONE CAME IN AND
"It Feels Good To Be Yourself. A book about gender identity" written by Theresa Thorn and illustrated by Noah Grigni. The cover shows the four main characters, one is a transgender girl, two are nonbinary in different ways, and one is a cis boy who is the little brother to the trans girl.
I typically don't read the kids books even when they are super cute but this one I HAD to read. So I start reading. And I just--
Here's a few pages: (short image description below)
Quick image description: Above are 5 pictures I took of pages that I really liked and made me extra happy. The first two are back to back pages of the book's introduction of JJ, who is a wheelchair user and is "neither a girl or a boy" and uses they/them pronouns. This is the text from the next two back to back pages depicting the four friends playing outside and coloring on the sidewalk: "Some kids don't feel exactly like a girl or a boy -- they feel like neither. Some kids feel like their gender identity isn't always the same -- it's often changing." [Next page] "And even with all these possible ways to be, some kids don't feel like any of the words they know fit them exactly right. There are a never-ending number of ways to be yourself in the world." The last page shows Ruthie after she came out to her parents as transgender. Her whole family (mom, dad, little brother, her, and a dog on the side) are hugging. The text reads "Oops! Ruthie was a girl all along -- they just didn't know it at first." End ID.
SO OBVIOUSLY IM ALMOST SOBBING AT WORK NOW OMG
This book is absolutely beautiful and so sweet and I encourage everyone to go see if they can borrow it at their library. It's a quick 2-3 min read, maybe 15 if you start getting emotional like my queer little heart did. I'm assuming there's a regular print version more widely available, and maybe a LT version too, and if my Hawaii library has a copy of the braille version I'm guessing others already have it too.
OH AND HERE'S THE BACK COVER I DIDNT NOTICE UNTIL AFTER I PROCESSED IT AND THIS PART REALLY GOT ME OKAY (text written below)
"No matter what your gender identity is, you are okay exactly the way you are. And you are loved."
This blog is and always will be:
- Bi and pan inclusive.
- Inclusive of non-lesbians who use the terms "butch" and "femme".
- Ace and aro inclusive.
- Trans inclusive.
- Non-binary inclusive.
- Intersex inclusive.
- Supportive of intersex body autonomy.
- Sex positive.
- Supportive of he/him lesbians.
- Supportive of neopronouns.
- Inclusive of POC.
- Inclusive of all faiths.
- Supportive of culturally specific gender perspectives and identities.
- Sex worker positive.
- Body positive.
- Supportive of disabled and mentally ill people.
- Pro-choice.
- Supportive of trans people who do not experience dysphoria or do not want to pursue medical transition.
- Inclusive of those who use the label "queer".
I want to talk to y’all queer kiddos for a second.
Hey, kidlets.
I want you to know that your experience here on tumblr isn’t the same as queer spaces in real life. Hell, it’s not even the same as queer spaces on other websites, sometimes.
Tumblr is full of people who will pull you in a million directions.
Some will tell you that you need to figure out every facet of your identity Right Now and place specific labels on it all.
Some will tell you that if you identify as something outside of L, G, B, or T, you’re just trying to be special. That you make us all look bad.
Some will tell you that everything under the trans or bi or ace umbrella isn’t lgbt.
Some claim to support identities while making fun of those who don’t conform to them rigidly.
If you’re trans, this site will tell you that you have to chose everything right now, that you absolutely must start diving into your chosen gender presentation immediately.
I want you to know that you don’t have to adopt any label if you don’t want to. And that you can have as many specific labels as you want. You’re in charge of figuring out who you are at whatever pace you decide to go at.
I want to tell you that nobody who says “you’re just trying to be special” understands the point of the LGBT+ or the Queer communities. The point of this whole movement is acceptance. From ourselves, and from others. The absolute basis of this movement is that we all deserve respect despite our strangeness. That were all still human, and still deserving of kindness and rights.
I want to tell you that it was bi and trans women who built this community, who threw bricks at stonewall. I want to tell you that aces and aros and their spectrums have been around since the 1970’s, if not in explicit name. I want to tell you that it doesn’t matter whatsoever that there are so many words under the bi umbrella that are similar, because they all deserve respect and acceptance. I want to tell you that gender is a junglegym and you get to decide how to play.
I want you to know that there are no rules for any identity. That you can use any pronouns you damn well please and still be cis. That you can decide to present however you like, that you can choose to change your body or leave it as is, that you can be a boy and still have breasts, or a woman without them, or anything in between. That you can be bi and chose to date only one gender, or ace and make love however much you want (with consent, of course) or aro and date someone new every week.
I want you to know that you don’t have to transition. That you don’t need to grow out or cut your hair immediately. That you can change over your wardrobe as gradually as you want, that makeup isn’t a must. That you don’t have to choose a new name or pronouns until you’re ready. That you can have top surgery but not bottom, or bottom surgery and not top, surgery but no hormones, hormones but no surgery, or nothing at all. You don’t have to bind if you can’t or don’t want to. (I also want you to know that binding safely doesn’t mean binding without damage. Compression like that on a regular basis will always eventually cause tissue damage.)
I want you to know that you don’t have to ascribe to any of the opinions on here in order to fit in.
And I want you to know that there are people, like myself, who will gladly help you if you reach out to us.
Please be safe. Please know you’re not alone.
shout out to no-hrt trans people. hormones don’t define you and choosing not to take hormones doesn’t make you any less trans. you are just as important and just as valid as a trans person on t or e.
shout out to no-op trans people. surgery don’t define you and choosing not to get any doesn’t make you any less trans. you are just as important and just as valid as a post-op trans person
trans bodies are beautiful 🌱
The Gender Census 2020 is now open!
[ Link ]
The seventh annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 12th March 2020.
After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a blog post summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, retweet this tweet, boost this Mastodon post, check out this post on Reddit, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks like Facebook. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 11,000 responses last year.
Survey URL: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/gendercensus2020/
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
Thank you so much!
Last year we reached 10,000 responses on day 15, but this year we’re on track to get to 10,000 today - day 6.
If you know anyone who might be interested in taking a survey for folks beyond the binary, especially if they’re over 30, maybe throw the survey URL to them!

i made a thing
I made some additions
Good additions
No offense but if youre reading this, that means you made it through this year and that is utterly amazing of you. It means that you did what you needed to even when it was hard, especially when it was hard and it hurt, to get through the bad days. And you did that over and over again until you got to be here on the other end of those bad days. It takes a strong person to keep going when they feel weak. You deserve love, and you deserve to feel proud of yourself. If you arent there yet or even if you are, know that i love you and im proud of you in the meantime <3

Please Help Fund my Facial Feminisation Surgery
https://www.gavagives.tech/campaign/please-help-fund-my-facial-feminisation-surgery
Hello, I'm PJ Ang, a Filipino-Chinese genderfluid queer medical student.
I'm scheduled to have components of facial feminisation surgery done on the last week of December, specifically type 3 frontal bone reconstruction and rhinoplasty, and need help in paying off the coming doctor's and hospital fees.
I decided to have the surgery done as I've suffered from gender dysphoria and depression as long as I realised I was genderfluid, particularly on days when I do not feel like a man and see my masculine features in the mirror which brings me anxiety and sadness.
It would be a tremendous help for me if you please do consider donating, even if it's just a dollar, as I'm also paying off my dormitory's utility bills, my medical school tuition fees, and the cost of the equipment we use in school (stethoscope, blood pressure apparatus, gloves, masks, etc.). If you can't donate, please do share this with others as that would also be a great help!
More information including my surgery clearance and admission orders can be found in the link.
Thank you so much!

Once I transition I’ll
Wear much cooler outfits
