My mom seems to think it is and I want to prove her wrong.

Binder Giveaway for Trans People

I had originally planned a much more complex giveaway, but I’ve had stuff come up that’s put it on hold. I need to do something however, in light of what’s just happened. 

I will buy six people gc2b binders. 

You must be trans (this includes nonbinary people). This is not open to cis cosplayers. 

You must live in the United States.

One reblog one like.

You do not have to follow me. But it would be nice, and you’ll get some extra goodies if you do.

You must be comfortable giving me your address.

I will need your email too, if you want to have the tracking information.

You must have your ask box open. I need to be able to contact you if you win.

I will ask for your size as per the size chart on the gc2b website.

Your address.

Your email, if you feel comfortable, for tracking information.

If you have any special instructions for me re: shipping, ie. you’re worried about discrete packaging, let me know and we can work something out.

The winner will have 48 hours to respond to me before I select someone else.

If you want to signal boost the post without entering, please tag your reblog with signal boost so that I know to exclude your reblog when selecting winners.

This will close at the end of November.

Hi y’all. I know it is scary to be trans in the US rn, and I want to do anything I can to help.

So: I am doing a binder giveaway, of sorts?

Basically, I will buy a gc2b binder (any color, half or full) for 4 ppl in the United States (sorry to restrict, but this giveaway is 100% in response to what’s happening in the US right now).

Reblogs and likes count, rb as many times as you want, but please only if you can’t get a binder otherwise. I don’t care if you’re a trans guy or nonbinary or whatever, just that you need a binder and can’t otherwise get one. I don’t care if you’re following me, I just want ppl to get binders. 

You have to be willing to give me your address so I can ship it to you.

If you are worried about being outed by the package’s arrival, gc2b ships EXTREMELY discretely. It doesn’t have the company’s name on any packaging, and I actually couldn’t figure out what the package was for a hot minute when I ordered mine. And if you’re worried about your fam opening your mail, get the half binder, it looks like a sports bra.

Giveaway ends on Nov 15th at 11:59 Eastern TIme (yep, this is a quick one). At that point I’ll use a random picker and send asks to the ppl who won. If they don’t respond w/in 24 hours, I’ll pick another person.

Edit: it is ok to reblog this for boosting purposes, please just send me a message and tell me that is why you’re reblogging and I’ll make a list of those urls

@all the trans people on my dash today: keep doing ur thing ur all cute and perfect

[jasminescephas-deactivated20160]

cute gender neutral things to say when ur partner is walking down the aisle:

HERE COMES THE GENERAL

[brotherly-advice]

Your pronouns are

not inconvenient not made up not for attention not fake. Your pronouns are valid. You are valid.

[whats-a-trans]

Faking It

We were doomed from the start

Born into a life of tragedy

No one ever hears about that part 

It's not cool, it's not pageantry 

It's hating the reflection in the mirror 

And questions you can't answer yourself

Wishing they would see you clearer

Setting your feelings on the shelf

Not getting the help you need

People saying you won't be loved

Their warnings you should heed

Being pushed and shoved

All this takes a toll on your health

After all, you can't transition without wealth

[chaseross]

I’m connected on a lot of blogs. This one, thisshirtisontight, ftmtranstastic, and ftmsextalk. I love answering questions and being able to help, to the best of my ability. I want to help, and I want people to know that our community is full of helpers.

There are questions that have started to bother me - not in an angry way, but in a sad way.

Is it normal if…. Is it ok if…. Am I still trans if…

I remember a few years ago, the concept of “trans enough” was going around. I said my piece, and wanted to continue to give positive affirmations to trans people who didn’t feel “trans enough”. Yes, you can still be trans if you love dresses, if you take T, if you don’t get T, if you bind, if you don’t bind, if you get top surgery, if you get no surgeries, etc.

It was important for me to share these things with other people, especially those in doubt. That, even if someone says “no”, you can still say yes.

So I’ve come to a place where I see that, to a lot of people, it has started to matter whether I say yes or no. If another trans man agrees or disagrees. If I approve. If we approve.

And I want to tell you, that it doesn’t matter.

“Normal” is arbitrary. Normal is a concept that doesn’t apply to something as individualistic as your personal life, your transition, your gender. It doesn’t have to. You can define normal, or you can eliminate that word from your vocabulary. But no one should tell you, “yes you are normal” or “no you are not normal”. Because whether or not normalcy is relevant to your life, I don’t define that. No one can define that except you. 

You are trans if you think you are trans. Even if 10 people tell you that you aren’t. Maybe it helps to hear me, or someone else, say “yes you are still trans”. But I can’t be that person, because I don’t live in your head or your body. So I can say, “you are what you are. what you want to be. what you think you are. what you feel you are.” But I can’t be the person to confirm or deny. That’s you. 

Don’t give me that power. Don’t give an entire community that power. Keep that power to yourself. The power to self-determine, to define, and grow. Your transition is your own. We can share our experiences and ask for advice, and ask for affirmations. But there is a personal power in defining ourselves and transitioning the way we see fit. 

(Side note: 4 years ago, I got 20 submissions for my “trans enough” project. In the last month, I have received 200+ submissions. We’ve come so far as a community, as a support system for each other. So much growth and compassion! I’m so proud to have been a part of these conversations.)

Planned Parenthood Is Helping Trans Patients Access Hormone Therapy

Planned Parenthood operates on an informed consent basis for HRT treatment. This means that patients whose bloodwork indicates they are good candidates for HRT will be prescribed testosterone or estrogen and androgen blockers, so long as they understand the likely effects and accept the possible side effects that go along with it, after those side effects have been explained to them.

According to Planned Parenthood’s vice president of communications, at least 26 Planned Parenthood locations are currently offering HRT to trans patients* and that the number of affiliates offering these services is growing.
