It’s important to remember that those of you who can’t be visible, for whatever reason, are 100% valid.
Much love to all of you who are stealth, and those who can’t come out for their own safety.
And much love to all binary and non-binary transfolk - you are valid and amazing.
You are all valid. You are accepted by us. You are loved

Its such a weird feeling… I’m very overwhelmed and feel very loved tbh…
I’ve been nominated for a national diversity awards! (If you wanna throw a vote at me it’d be much appreciated!) :*
My parents have been married thirty six years and my dad had to work a few hours early this morning (he refs hs football for extra cash), while he was gone my mom went to Dunkin Donuts to get breakfast and bought him his favorite muffin to surprise him when he came home and when he did it was with her favorite muffin from Dunkin Donuts and you know what I’m so not interested in all the cynical bs about love and marriage being fake like if that’s not some romantic shit right there idk what is.
That’s so sweet ohmygosh
So I found a site that does a subscription box for your period- it sends you basics like hygiene products, pain medication as well as snacks and pampering stuff to make you feel good,
but the best thing is they have a specialty boxes, like vegan or kosher only snacks but also
they specifically offer boxes for menstruating guys and nb folks.
which is pretty darn cool.
it’s called bonjourjolie and I think it’s 1000% awesome tbh
They/them pronouns are correct grammar.
They/them pronouns sound pleasant and friendly.
They/them pronouns are polite and kind to use with strangers.

A judge from the state of Georgia has refused to allow a transgender man to change his name unless he chooses a gender neutral or unisex name. Earlier this year Andrew Baumert filed a petition to have his name legally changed from his birth name to Andrew. Court records show that Andrew provided all of the relevant and correct documents necessary for the change, yet Judge J. David Roper denied the request less than 10 minutes into the hearing. Roper stated his reason for denying the change as being that Andrew is too masculine a name, and that it may confusing or misleading to other people. Whilst there are exceptions in which a court can deny a name change, such as a lengthy criminal record or if they believe that someone is trying to defraud creditors, but there is no legal standing to deny a petition based on the ground of gender dysphoria. Court records have shown that Roper told Andrew that he would be fine allowing the name change if a gender neutral name was chosen. He said, ‘I can live with Morgan, Shannon, Shaun and Jamie’. Andrew has since approached civil rights organisations for assistance with this case and has gone on to describe the incident as 'humiliating’ to the press. 'It was humiliating and insulting to be told by the court that I would not be able to change my name legally when I’m already known as Andrew by my family, my friends and my community. I work in labs all day, but it doesn’t take a scientist to know that the judge’s ruling was based on sexist opinions about 'appropriate’ names.’ This is not the first time that Roper has denied a trans man’s petition to change his name legally, however, as in the past he has refused to allow a trans man to change his name to Rowan. At the time Roper denied this change, which also met all of the legal requirements, on the grounds that he believed it could 'offend the sensibilities and mores of a substantial portion of the citizens of this state.’
'He’s been watching me gradually change his whole life.'

Dysphoria Tips
To start this post off, not all of these tips will work for everyone! Everyone’s dysphoria is different and everyone has different things that help! Also, I am not a doctor or anything like that! And I am a trans guy, so that’s what this is all coming from, I can try to look up how other genders deal with dysphoria, but I think a lot of these ones will also help other genders
- Showering (I know this doesn’t help everyone) Okay, so I know it may seem like confronting your physical form may not be the right thing to do, and it might not be, but for me taking a shower/bath really helps because I focus more on the routine and what I’m washing than my actual body Also! Using products that match your gender might really help!! I use the more “masculine” smelling products for my body and it’s super nice ^^ They also have products that are more “gender neutral” if that’s more your thing
- Do something distracting that you enjoy For example, I love going on walks, drawing, writing, and gaming and any of things things could be distractions from things that you don’t want to think about! You of course don’t need to pick one of the things I enjoy doing, there are lots of things you could do like sports, blogging, listening to music, hanging out with your pets (they aren’t going to judge you!), etc.
- Find someone who won’t judge you! I know this might be hard for some of you, but I know that I have at least one person to talk to every time I get upset about this sort of thing! My friends will not misgender me, and they will reassure me that I am a guy and I do pass, and all that good stuff! If someone is hurting you and misgendering you and not respecting you, you can cut them out of your life! You are not obligated to keep these people around because of their feelings Pets can be used for this too! Your animals will never judge you :3 Hell, they probably don’t even know what gender is :D
- Find things about yourself that you like This doesn’t have to be about your body, but it can be! If you take the time to think about positive aspects of yourself, you might feel a little better. And if you can think about the positive things about your body, like the color of your eyes or the shade of your skin, or how great your smile is, or how cool your hair was in that one selfie, it might make you feel a little better about how you’re feeling about yourself right now c: If you don’t want to or can’t think about positive things about your body, try thinking about things you’re good at or things you like about your personality! Like how great of a person you are, how nice you can be, how cool you are, or how dedicated you are! Something like that!
- Treat yourself I know not everyone can go buy themselves their favorite dinner or anything like that due to money, but you can do simple things like watch your favorite movie! Or just let yourself eat that expensive ice cream you bought last week :3 Curl up in your favorite blanket with that one pillow that’s just right, or put on that makeup/outfit that you love! It’s in the little things
- Try not to think about “passing” I know this is extremely hard, but “passing” is just a social construct. Nobody “looks like a boy” because boys can look like anyone, and the same goes for other genders as well! This is definitely a hard thing to tell yourself, especially since a lot of people don’t get it, but it might help some of you!
- Find inspiration! Find someone who you look up to, or who is transitioning/has transitioned. Some people (like me) might feel resentment at them for being further into their transition than them, but other might (and should try to) be filled with hope and positivity by seeing that things get better and that it is possible to change yourself into how you want to (or do) see yourself
- Look back If you’ve already started your transition, look back to months, or years ago! You will be surprised at how far you’ve come You might even feel more hopeful about the future after having seen how much you’ve changed since before
- Find people to talk to Find people who are, or have been, in the same or a similar scenario; they know what it’s like and they may be able to help you! They can share what it was like for them and what helped them
- Just. Stop. Seriously, if you can, don’t do anything that day. Sometimes, people just need a break or some time alone. So, if you’ve been saving up those hours at work, take the day off if you can! If you know there’s nothing important at school the next day, try to stay home and not put yourself through more stuff Keep yourself safe and comfortable during your break! Maybe use this time to use one of the other techniques at the same time ^^
- Keep a diary This might seem silly, but I keep a diary off and on and it really helps me! Sometimes people just need to open up, but not to a person I named my diary Tina, so it kind of felt like I was talking to a person, though haha Also, just getting all of this down on paper (or on the screen) might help
- Wear your favorite outfit!! Find that outfit that makes you feel like a hundred bucks and wear it! It doesn’t matter if you’re staying in your house or going somewhere, wear that outfit and own it! Take a lot of pictures if you like the way it looks c:
- Selfies Take selfies when you look hella good and how you want to look, so that when you’re feeling down and dysphoric, you can look back at your selfies and be like “damnnn I look hot”
- Workout This might seem like a horrible idea, but I’ve heard that it works wonders! Just go get beefy or run into your legs feel like jelly This might also help you sleep, which might help by getting rid of your thoughts
- Sleep If you can take a nap, or just crash out, do it! You don’t have anything planned and these thoughts won’t stop? Go to sleep. You won’t be thinking of anything if you’re unconscious
- Avoid negativity If you know someone is going to bring you down, avoid them Same goes with places! If you know that a certain place is going to be negative or bring negative thoughts on, it’s probably best to avoid that place
- Drink ice water I find that the painfully cold liquid can really wipe the mind with it’s shocking temperature
- Meditate If you’re into meditation, or want to try it, I hear it does wonders to find that inner peace and just forget you have a body or end up thinking more positively about that body
- Watch your favorite show Focusing on something you love, like a series filled with interested characters who aren’t you and find themselves in lots of situations can really take your mind off of things
- Burn incense or candles Burn it right next to your bed (carefully tho) and make sure it’s a scent that you love! This way, if you don’t get out of bed, you can still have something to enjoy
- Read Read a book, or a fanfiction, or anything that will capture your full attention, so that you have something better to focus on
- Modify your body!! Like piercings, and hair dye, and stuff! Hell, even those temporary tattoos are pretty cool :3 This way, you can feel like you’re doing stuff to your body on your own terms You can even just draw on yourself with a sharpie or something!
- Clean Maybe just do some laundry or put things in neat little piles! Any amount of stress taken off will feel super good and also you might find that one outfit you lost months ago! (if you’re anything like me haha)
- Name and pronouns Write down your name and pronouns on things to make you feel a little better seeing that that’s what you want to be called, and it can just be written down like that! You could also ask some supportive friends to read them or just call you by them for no reason at the moment haha
- Take up a new hobby You could spend the time you spend being dysphoric, doing something you enjoy! Learn a new language, or learn how to do arts and crafts, or buy some gardening supplies!
- Save up money Just stick some coins from the dryer in a jar and start saving up for your transition! It’ll make you feel like things are going faster than they are
And remember: You are valid! No matter what anyone tells you, or how you feel, you are valid! <3
Trans Positivity
Ok guys, I would like to clear up a bit of things about being trans. Just because you are trans, does not mean you need to fit stereotypes!
You are still a trans woman even if… •you don’t wear makeup •you like sports •you don’t pass as female •you dress like a tomboy •you like girls •you have short hair •you are not on hormones •you don’t want SRS
You are still a trans man even if… •you love makeup •you have long hair •you are an artist •you don’t like sports •you don’t bind •you like boys •you don’t pass as male •you are not on hormones •you don’t want SRS
You are still genderfluid/androgynous/demi/etc even if… •you are ok with any pronouns •You dress more masculine/feminine •you are on hormones •you have top surgery
You are not trans if… •you identify as the same gender that matches your birth gender •you don’t identify as trans
psa:
wanting to transition is not a requirement for being transgender.
the only requirement for being transgender is identifying as transgender.
your trans identity is not measured by your willingness to adjust your body to society’s expectations for your gender.
don’t get me wrong: it is absolutely fine to want to transition in order to be recognised as your gender.
but it is also absolutely fine not to want to go through hormonal treatment and surgery.
some of us aren’t able to due to our health, financial, or social situation.
some of us can’t change our body to represent our gender because we’re non-binary, genderfluid or agender, and society doesn’t have a fixed idea of what our gender is supposed to look like.
some of us don’t like what society thinks we should look like.
some of us just don’t feel the need to transition because we’re confident in our gender identity and don’t get physically dysphoric.
transitioning should be an option for people who feel it would improve their lives.
transitioning should not be forced upon someone in order to prove that they’re trans.
don’t let anyone tell you you’re not trans because you’re not transitioning.
don’t let anyone control what to do with your body.
if you identify as trans, you are trans enough.
if you wear a binder: do this stretch it fucking rules I am ALIVE
I just saw this in my notifications again and I maintain that it rules and is good for yr tired muscles

dear trans kids
It’s totally okay to name yourself after someone you admire. Parents do it all the time, they name their kids after family members, friends, celebrities, anything, and you can do the same. You’re not faking anything, and I love your name. It suits you.
In case any of you need to hear this today...
You are trans enough. You are trans enough. YOU are trans enough.
There is no such thing as “not trans enough,” and anyone who tells you otherwise is being an asshole.
