@transalters
Because there arent many posts like this for transfems here are your reminders to...
Take your estrogen/progesterone! Refill your prescription if you ran out/will run out soon!
Stop tucking if you're experiencing pain, numbness, etc., or have been tucking too long!
Hydrate! Even if you aren't thirsty, if it's been more than a few hours since you drank something, please do!
Be kind to yourself! No matter where you are on your trans journey, know that you are valid and loved. ♡
Being a system is not the same thing as being transgender.
Being an alter that is a different gender than the body is not the same thing as being transgender.
Someone can be both, but that doesn't mean that the two are the same thing.
[image description: 5 near identical images of someone in a hoodie sleeping against a pillow, using a pride flag as a cape. the person has pale skin and fluffy hair sticking out from the hood, beside them is the words “GENDER IS A PERFORMANCE AND TODAYS SHOW IS CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST”. the colour schemes of each image match the respective flags. each image has a different flag in this order: agender, demiboy, demigirl, demigender, and genderfluid. end id]
someone politely requested an agender version of this drawing so here it is! thought it would be a good warm up. i then went and did the demiboy, demigirl, and demigender flags because they had the same amount of stripes as the agender flag and then i did the genderfluid flag because i was procrastinating
i put these on redbubble too, ill link that in a reblog
reminder that this blog is:
trans inclusive
nonbinary inclusive
ace(-spec) inclusive
aro(-spec) inclusive
bi inclusive
pan inclusive
mspec inclusive
queer inclusive
questioning inclusive
and that TERFs and exclusionists are super invited to get the fuck out
Also the form of estrogen they prescribed trans women in the 90s, Premarin, looked like this.
And lest there be any remaining doubt.. remember the blue pill? The pill Neo could have taken to forget the truth, bury his troubles and go back to living a normal life, without fearing a system that wanted to destroy him? The pill that was easy, perhaps cowardly according to some, but comfortable? Here’s Prozac.
For a trans woman in the 90s, where the choice was be safe, suppress, cope, and pretend everything is still how it was, or embrace the danger, accept the truth, realize your full potential, and transition into a world that still thinks you’re a joke and would rather have you dead…. well. The metaphor is pretty fucking clear.
Y’all
Lana came out as a woman after Speed Racer in 2008, and Lily eight years later after the release of Jupiter Ascending (2016), so if you see original home copies of the Matrix (pre-2008), they are referred to as the Wachowski Brothers on it. It was a branding thing, like the Coen Brothers. That’s how they were called, because they were still presenting as male to the industry and the industry sold them as a creative unit.
I remember after Lana came out, the boxes switched to calling them just The Wachowskis, so I imagine now it’s the Wachowski Sisters.
So, yes, they’ve always been sisters, but if you didn’t know that, it’s not your fault. It’s been a long process and I’m glad they did it on their terms in their time.
Before Lily came out but after Lana did they were often credited as The Wachowskis siblings. So some places may still refer to them as such.
I was actually unaware that Lily was also trans so thank you for that info!
Happy Pride to all DID and OSDD systems!

Inclusive Plural Accounts
hey y’all,
we’ve been thinking for a while about making a list of inclusive plural accounts (folks who support systems of all experiences and origins)
i know for a lot of systems, us included, the exclusionist community is our first experience with online plural spaces. to us, our first experience with system tumblr was an exclusionist community that seemed tight-knit, and, on the surface, kind.
maybe it’s a bit of a pipe dream, but we hope that by trying to create a closer inclusive plural community, maybe some of the young systems we’ve seen and met will feel like they have other options of a community to belong to - a community that will welcome them.

trans-to-trans communication
you’ve heard of twin telepathy
now get ready for trans telepathy!!!
Let’s go over some things, shall we?
Jenny was originally designed to be a shape-shifting superhero; her “pigtails” are rocket thrusters, and her entire body can morph and shift to create weapons. Given her standard appearance is more to look like a humanoid girl, it seems reasonable that that’s an appearance she chose, rather than her default, especially because we know she can modify her appearance however she likes, albeit restricted to her two base colors unless she gets a new paint-job.
Though her mother learns to be more supportive of her later on, Jenny was originally confined to house arrest save for doing her job, supposedly because the world around her wouldn’t accept her.
She is canonically six-foot-six, which is rather tall, though it seems the average height of humanity has also gone up. So it’s not too uncommon for other men to be taller than her, but she’s also taller than most people. She has so far only dated other men who are taller than her.
She gains two different disguises for looking human. The first one doesn’t pass at all, while the second passing one convinces her to behave like a normal human girl, whispering into her ear to not only look, but behave like a “normal” girl, even if it’s not in her best interests.
It’s evidently quite common for androids to be made from different base personality points- Kenny, a boy she dated for a little while, was a re-purposed dog robot, and still carried over some of his dog traits.
The two most popular girls in school specifically have it out for her, because she’s a robot “pretending” to be a girl.
Jenny is allowed to play in her high school’s male football team.
Don’t forget this scene:
I’d suspected Jenny was trans coded for a long time, but this scene was what had me 100% convinced.
Prior to this episode Jenny had always treated Ms. Wakeman as her mother, always referring to her as “mom/mother”; which caused Wakeman to be mocked by her peers. Ms. Wakeman was typically cold towards Jenny, always referring to her as XJ9 (essentially Jenny’s deadname) and usually treating her as nothing more than a defence droid. But in this scene Ms. Wakeman is actually seeing Jenny in danger and rushes to protect her, finally calling her “my daughter” for the first time. As soon as she does, the pure joy and amazement in Jenny’s voice just makes my heart swell.
This show is so incredible and SO ahead of it’s time.
Worth noting that the creator of the show acknowledged this, basically saying “We didn’t intend for Jenny to be trans coded, but we’re ecstatic that trans people are finding comfort in her. Just because we didn’t intend the subtext doesn’t mean it’s not there.” Very cool and way the hell better than Hartman handles shit like this.
Happy APAHM and here’s a poem comic about my experiences being trans and Chinese I did in three days for my English class!
Hey everyone!! I just wanted to say thank you so much for 17k+ notes. This is the farthest my art has ever reached, and out of all my pieces, I’m so glad it could have been this one. It’s been so so so nice to read the tags and find it connecting with so many other people, and it’s been so so so nice to see other trans Chinese people finding the comic? It’s so comforting to see other people having similar experiences to mine and it’s just such a good feeling to know we’re not alone in this :) So thank you all!!!!
Oh and- Bodhisattva Guanshiyin is transfem but to clarify, she is traditionally nonbinary!!
People on twitter went crazy for this silly work doodle comic, maybe tumblr people will enjoy it too! :)

How To Wash Your Binder!
Hey everyone, just wanted to make this is show y’all how I wash my binder and as a reminder to wash your binder!
So first off, I like to wash my binders every third day (unless it was really hot that day or if I spilled something on it, then I wash it that day)
So first I fill the sink up with warm water and put my binders in the water. Then I like to let them just soak in the water for a few minutes!
So next I use a Landry cleaner and softener
I keep them in small tubs cause I don’t need the whole bottle.
Now I leave them to soak for a couple minutes
Now I’m using dove body wash to make it smell nice and feel a lot softer
Now I let that soak for a moment
After I scrub them I drain the warm water
And then rinse them off with cold water
If any of your water turns a weird color do not worry! It’s not because it dirty, it’s just the dye!
Then I squeeze them out the best I can by hand and then I leave them to hang like this for the night!
Hope this was helpful!?
To my trans followers.
Just in case I have any followers who would be helped by this
@poisonedapples !!
First of all, I could need this lmao. Second, IF ANY OF YOU HAS A BINDER, WASH IIITTT
If you don’t wash em you can get really painful skin rashes ouo make sure you wash em!

Do you have any tips for helping with dysphoria of a male alter in a afab body?
ooooogh thats a rough one. i can only report things my system does, im not qualified past that. i dont want to give anything too concrete since it really dpends on you, your situation, and the whole system i guess!
get yourself a sports bra if you cant have a binder (get a binder if that will help) or if alone, go topless if that feels better
boxERS and you absolutely can get away with just wearing them around the house or as pjs bc they’re fucking great shorts
find someone who you can talk to who knows about your situation who can address you by your name and pronouns (even if you arent fronting, going back and finding things written about you that respects your identity can be really helpful)
theres lots of clothes that fall into this nebulous space that fem and masc alters can both wear without inducing dysphoria, work towards getting more of those so you can dress comfortably without causing too much trouble for the whole system (if possible, have some clothes for yourself, but this really just depends on you and your situation!)
focus on the fact that gender is defined by your conscious experience of yourself and not anything else.
T H E R A P Y
but really the key one there that helps for many of our alters is that whole Having Someone Who Knows and Respects You thing. being able to have even just one person in the world address you the way you want makes it all less heavy, a little at a time.
@ all my Binder Wearing pals!
Please remember:
Take your binder off at a decent time!
Don't sleep in your binder!
WASH IT!!
Have a day off every now and again for your physical health!
Take a moment to stretch and breathe!
(People who don't wear binders can and should reblog)
