Oh they’re going to need salvation.
Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.
This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.
Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them.
It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.
Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.
“ In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. “

hey since that season is coming up again!
Don’t abuse the bell ringers unless they get aggressive, but don’t give them a bent penny.

TSITSI MASIYIWA EVERYONE
This woman is amazing. She literally provided food and water for orphans in Zimbabwe, paid student fees for over 40,000 students, and established a scholarship program that would raise 6.4 million dollars to send students to college. The program that helps thousands of orphans go to school is called the “Capernaum Trust”. Her motivation to help underprivileged orphans stemmed from her being poor in the past.
“I spent time with these children and I came to love them. I wanted to keep doing more for them, but I realized that it was not just enough to keep giving them fish. I had to teach them how to fish. I wanted them to grow up and fend for themselves and become successful people. I wanted them educated”.
Don’t let her work get overshadowed just because she’s a “millionaire’s wife”. She deserves as much recognition for her hard earned work.
TSITSI MASIYIWA.

Tips I Wish I Had Growing Up FTM
Don’t throw away your favorite shirt just because it’s pink or in a women’s cut, one day you might be passing and confident enough to wear it again. Don’t stop wearing or doing something you like just because it’s not traditionally masculine.
It can take years, YEARS, for even the most supporting family member to use the right name and pronouns, because they’ve known you since you were born as one thing, and it can be hard for them to automatically correct themselves. I know you hear this a lot from THEM, but this is coming from another trans dude. If they’re trying their hardest to understand you, if they support you in your transition, don’t treat them like the devil for slipping up on your name and pronouns. Try to be patient in correcting them. Above all else, they love you. Remember that!
If you’re in a safe home environment, it’s best to come out to everyone at once. Rip off the bandaid. It can be really stressful for close family not to know what to call you in front of other family members when you use your preferred name and pronouns with everyone but certain people. Don’t feel like you need to hide yourself from certain people if they’re extended family that you’re not going to see until next Thanksgiving. Put it out there so that everyone knows and nobody needs to sneak around the subject.
Don’t resent previously transphobic relatives for things they said before they came to support you. Sometimes it takes someone in the family coming out for them to realize that trans people are people to. Take pride in the fact that you changed their perspective on it, don’t hate them for what they used to believe.
Don’t go out with straight guys. I can’t stress this enough. If he’s only into you because you’re AFAB, stay away from him. Ask him about his sexuality. If he says anything about “only going out with trans guys”, get the fuck out of there. Stay away from straight guys.
Bind in moderation. Don’t bind at home, and don’t bind under baggy clothing. Not only is it bad for your ribs, but you can get a pretty gross rash from wearing a sweaty binder all the time that’s a pain in the ass to get rid of.
If you’re a B cup and under, you can flatten your chest down with a single sports bra and get pretty much the same results as using an actual binder. I’m a B cup and I can pass with just a sports bra, not to mention it’s ten times more comfortable.
When you’re trying to get a recommendation for HRT, you’re going to need to see a sex therapist, and you’re going to be asked a lot of uncomfortable questions. You’ll be asked about your sexual and romantic preferences, on top of questions about dysphoria and general trans stuff. It’s awkward and anxiety inducing, and it’s gonna suck, but the therapist’s goal is to get you in to see the endo and the questions are there so that they can see if you fit the diagnosis for gender dysphoria. All you have to do is tell them you identify as trans and you have dysphoria, nothing else really matters.
Having a personality disorder doesn’t invalidate your identity or your need for hormones. That concern didn’t even come up when I got my recommendation!
Opt for injections over gel. I know a lot of young trans people go for testosterone gel because it’s less scary than the injections, but I haven’t met a single trans dude my age that was happy being on the gel. Every trans dude I’ve met that was on the gel says that it didn’t offer much physical change for them and they switched to the injections instead.
The injections don’t hurt as much as you anticipate they will. It hurts less than having your blood drawn. The fear of needles is usually what gets people, but if you have a family member that can do your injections for you, it’s far easier than doing them yourself.
Testosterone makes your body odor smell ridiculously bad. Shower daily and use deodorant.
Testosterone makes you really horny, and that’s the first symptom you’re going to notice. This is going to lead you to want to make bad choices in the name of getting laid. Don’t let your hormones get the better of you. Find a nice, SAFE way to relieve those urges. Don’t go sleeping with just anybody (again, stay the hell away from straight dudes!). There are literal forums dedicated to things you can use to get off when you don’t have any toys, I shit you not, and that was my godsend growing up.
Wait at least a year to get rid of your pads and tampons. Just. Just trust me on this one. It can happen.
Don’t have unprotected sex under the guise that you’re completely infertile because of testosterone. Again. It can happen.
Any other trans adults are welcome to add to this!!!
I agree with everything except “opt for injections over gel”
I know I’m only 5 months on T, but I’ve been consistently using gel and I got a lot of changes, like body/facial hair, voice deepening, fat redistribution and increasing muscular mass
I’m probably a bit lucky genetically, cos I already had lots of body hair pre-T, but I wouldn’t recommend injections over gel because “it didn’t offer much physical changes”, I think it really depends from person to person
I might be wrong but I think @snarkytransman has been on gel for years and is perfectly happy with it, confirm?
Aye. Been on it in the region of 5-10 years not. I like it because it gives me control - once I’ve got a box, it can’t be taken off me. Takes away dependency. (Note that self-injecting isn’t the norm here).
T is T is T. Once it’s in your system it does its job, no matter how it got there. The hair follicles don’t receive a load of T in the blood and go “security pass please. Huh, according to this, you’re gel testosterone. Fuck you, no passage, keep moving.”.
In fact, if you take it in the morning, you get a normal male pattern of testosterone levels over time (small morning peaks and declines over the day); this is the only T method where you’ll get this. Get fortnightly injections? Giant fortnightly peaks and troughs.
There’s two major reasons, to my understanding, of which people can think it is less effective.
Many don’t take it consistently. If you take it every other day, guess what, it won’t do shit. Same if you wash it off with a shower shortly after, etc.
Many take gel at the beginning, then switch a few months in. T has limited effect in the first few months, particularly as it takes time to win the battle against your ovaries and shut down the oestrogen production. You might have had better effects after switching because it was around the time that you’d have the effects.
1---I was very happy on gel, had loads of changes, ONLY swapped because I was pretty forgetful about it.
2--- My injections hurt like hell. The first one I had, I could NOT MOVE FOR A WHOLE DAY
Something I’ve been meaning to get off my chest
Foot why have you betrayed me????
KITTY LOOKS SO DISGUSTED.
When will people stop slamming phallo results!!??
Thought I’d try to help people on a new group I joined on fb by openly answering any lower surgery questions and giving pretty detailed answers for each one. Most people were pretty respectful mostly, then you always get that one asshole that pipes up and says phallo results look like “deformed hotdogs”! Oh but don’t worry, he did trigger warning he was about to insult results, so it must be okay. And people wonder why we don’t want to share photos.
Sorry that happened man, what a dickhead. There is are so many people, me included to really appreciate you sharing so openly
