We could use your help!

If you support the groundbreaking, inclusive, affirming, feminist, comprehensive, young-people-centered, queer sex ed for all we've provided for 25+ years to over 90 million people, please help us raise the $15K we need to pay our bills in 2024, or become one of 250 new donors we need for 2025! You can do that at Scarleteen.com/contribute or by heading to our site and clicking ‘Pitch-In ’. 🎉 If you’re already donating (thank you!) please consider increasing your monthly amount, if you can, even a little bit. We’ll count any increases we get towards our two goals! You can do that by clicking 'Manage Your Donation' in your latest donation receipt. If you can’t donate yourself, can you tell your friends, family and followers who we are, why you value our work and ask them if they’d be willing to donate? You can share this post and the link above, but using your own words is the most effective! Despite leading the way in SRE online from the 1990s on, and always making sure young people have access to good information even when it is suppressed elsewhere in their lives, we remain underfunded, including funding to pay our staff a fair, living wage. We need to meet this $15K goal to fund our most basic needs and our tightest budget. If you can help us do that, we can focus on providing awesome SRE, growing, improving and kicking-ass, and finding more funding for 2025. Thank you! ❤️

Be gentle with yourself, your trauma was not your fault, never will and never will be, you're not the pieces you're trying to put together, you're not broken, you are a breathing, sentient person, a really kind one at that, who's fought and been through a lot, but never allowed yourself to be given the kindness you wanted, i have a saying, treat yourself like you want to be treated by others, you can't be truly kind to the workd without backlash unless you're also kind to yourself, not just the inner child, yourself, entirely, and i'm incredibly proud of you for everything, you are NOT alone, your past doesn't define you, nor does your trauma, pain, and suffering, it is and will always be valid, but you are so much more than that, and you deserve to feel safe at all times, you'll see, everything's going to be okay. 💖

💕 you are the kindest!

I wanna believe you! Very much! But my mind and my feelings are disconnected, but I am still trying! And I am so grateful for your life! 💖

Please, have a wonderful day!

I think the reason the transmasc support discord I was on didn’t work for me is because of the discord channel format, where it’s like a chat. I wrote in the support channel of this discord about how I’m in a long term relationship with a straight guy and we both want to stay together, and how difficult that is and the taboos around talking about it in queer spaces (e.g. he MUST self describe his sexuality differently if we are staying together because what’s really important here is that we all use the right words not my fucking pain, the idea of predatory gays trying to ‘change’ straight people being a toxic stereotype). It was hard for me to write that, and I hoped someone would see it and say they were going through something similar and we could commiserate, there seemed a decent chance of that seeing how many people were on there. But I think I got one sad react and a ‘I’m sorry, that sounds hard’. Both were kind, of course. And then more messages were put from different people needing support, we all need so much support, and my message disappeared off the top and now even if someone in my situation does join they will not see it. A similar thing happened on the forum I sometimes talk about- I would pour my heart out in a long post that no one would read or respond to. I would feel sad and sometimes even quite devastated, even though I knew no one had any obligation to respond to me (I’ve been in situations of being someone’s emotional punching bag for years on end and had no idea I was ever allowed to stop, no way would I ever be against someone not responding to something emotional someone else wrote if they didn’t feel they could). Then I would feel resentful of more ‘popular’ users who always seemed to be getting loads of loving support. Then I realised this was doing ugly things to my thought patterns, then I left. It does hurt to feel like you are trying to engage and no one is responding. Sometimes I write things on facebook that get no engagement, probably because of some algorithm filtering longer posts. My tumblr has long been a dead zone, and as I’ve discussed before that can be an advantage, but sometimes the porn bots and rate my blog bots being my only notes really gets me down. The one time I did get some engagement it was some discourse blogs reblogging someone’s rebuttal to a post I made when I was in the emotional equivelant of 3am and didn’t think someone would see it. In the post, clearly distressed I talked about how I don’t feel the bisexual community is strong or caring or even really there a lot of the time, and I was proved right because none of these presumably fellow bisexuals dropped me a line to say ‘hey I didn’t agree with what you said but you sound like you are going through something, hope you are doing ok’. No one on here does things like that, tumblr has long created this culture where anyone you disagree with is fair game for just being kind of mean, and bad faith reading is encouraged way more than good faith reading.

Funding update: We're still short

Co-director Jacob here, with an update on our current fundraising efforts. We sure appreciate your understanding this interruption to the award-winning sex and relationships education programming we’d much rather be spending our time providing for you! Just over 200 wonderful folks have made a donation or become a recurring donor since we started, but we are still short of our goal! We’re still 171 new recurring donors and 5K short of 15K we need to pay our most basic bills through the end of 2024 to help us avoid cuts to our staffing and services in 2025. We'll need just around as many people as have already pitched in to close the economic gaps we're up against, and help from people who value what we do to close them. You know the drill! If you can pitch in financially, and especially as a recurring donor, we’d love and appreciate your help at any level. If you can’t, or you already have and want to help some more, making your own posts about us, why you value us, and directing your circles to our work and where to donate to support it can go such a long way. Thank you for keeping us trucking, especially to those of you who have donated now or in the past, and those of you loudly banging this drum for us out here! Here's the link to donate for yourself or to direct others to:
