Trans people of color!!! Do not let the culture around you stop you from choosing a name that speaks to your heritage. When I was settling on my name, I had white trans people around me tell me that my name would be too hard to pronounce or too long for most people. [Four syllable Latin name, go figure]

I'm glad I didn't listen and decided to stay true to myself and I chose a traditionally Afro-Brazilian that still makes me happy to this day. Don't feel pressured to assimilate or make yourself more palpable for white people, little reminder!

people need to be less weird towards butch transfems, intersex transfems, masculine transfems, gnc transfems, transfems who dont ID as women, transfems with short hair, transfems who want to have (or keep) their muscles, transfems who want to have (or keep) their beard, transfems who want to be (or stay) hairy, transfems who dont (or can't) constantly smile/act soft, and any other thing people keep being weird about.

oh and stop being weird to transfems of colour with ANY presentation or label, full stop. stop forcing white femininity onto us. stop forcing white american standards onto us.

brought to you by a gnc, intersex transfem of colour, who's covered in hair and loves it!! i like to be both butch and femme but anything i do as a transfem come with such high expectations

⚠️ Do not use they/them if talking about me to others in reblogs/comments. I have neopronouns in my pinned post ⚠️

took some selfies at the park earlier today to try and lift my spirits a bit. [She/They]

(...i'm not smiling in either of these shots since my bad left tooth is going fucking haywire today, along with an apparent minor gum infection in that spot making it even worse than usual. i had to run to the ER mid-shift because of how awful it was making me feel. i think that i'm just getting the tooth fully pulled at this point. help lol)

trans poc, please i beg of you get transition inspo of people with your ethnicity

i was incredibly dysphoric about my round face and softer features until i started looking at the faces of hispanic men and realized that those features weren’t feminine at all, they were ethnic features white supremacy had conditioned me to see as less masculine

your ethnic features are beautiful, and you do not need to look european to look masculine or feminine

Traditional Crane

So, uh. I locked in a bit too hard, on my day off from work (hence my fucked-up hair)...

...and folded my first origami model that uses tracing paper. Following in the success of my crane that I folded from a 1 cm square of mulberry paper earlier today, I folded yet another crane... but this time, it was made from a 0.5 cm square of tracing paper.

I had ICU ASMR playing in the background that entire time, since working on this thing under a light with two tweezers (for maximum precision), gloves (to prevent my fingertip sweat from warping the paper), and a mask (so I didn't accidentally breathe the model out of my grasp) made it genuinely feel like I was performing surgery on this model. It actually worked out a lot better than I could've ever guessed to get me fully immersed and invested into the project.

2 mg tablet of Estradiol for scale again, but I also included a single grain of white jasmine rice for additional emphasis on how small this model is. It's half the size of a grain of goddamn rice. This is now the SMALLEST origami model that I've ever folded in my entire life.

I'm never doing this shit again. _(ᐛ 」∠)_
