Just An FYI For Those In The US With Insurance Issues

TO ALL TRANS GIRLS WITH TRANSPHOBIC PARENTS

My name is Stephanie and I’m a mtf transgirl. I came out to my parents and since they are transphobic, I was stuck. I know how if feels to live with transphobic parents and I know how bad it can get.

If any trans girl or LGBT youth needs someone to talk to, just message me and I’ll talk with you. I will not judge anyone.

Pronouns: she/her

Hey, just a quick question. Can Carter be used as a female name? I'm a trans girl and that's really the only thing I'm ok with is my name.

Any person of any gender can use any name.This website shows quite a few people who named their baby girls Carter. It’s a cute name! Someone, I think Ty Turner? made a video about keeping your old name when you transition, and in it, his cousin, who was a trans woman, kept her birth name Tristan. I’ve mostly met guys named Tristan, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a girl and rock it! If you like Carter, and you’re a girl, it’s a girl’s name! 

So I found this cool website for learning ancient languages

go wild

fun tip for cis people: instead of saying “back when she was a he” or “back before [birthname] became [preferred name]”, try not being a pile of shit by saying something like “before she came out” or “before she began her transition”!

If you don’t have means to a therapist or mental health professional

Check out therapistaid.com. There’s worksheets there that you can download for free.

Of course it would be a lot more beneficial if you have a therapist to help you through it but not everyone has access to one.

It’s a free site where you can have free downloads of worksheets on many things.

If there’s something there that you think would be helpful, print it out and complete the worksheet on your own.

It’s hard to be accountable for yourself but at least there’s a way for you to have some insight and work on yourself.

Planned Parenthood is fucking amazing, y’all. I haven’t been there yet…but just talking to their HRT line on the phone…

They used my respected name right off the bat. Called me Riley all the way through. Used he/him pronouns. Didn’t slip up once. Asked me and “What’s your legal name? I’m sorry I have to ask that.”

Then asked me “Now is it okay if I send things with Riley Roswell to your home?” not wanting to out me accidentally and then “Is it okay if I send stuff with planned parenthood labels on them or do you want me to be discreet about it?” knowing there are people who could get in trouble with family or partners or others for going there.

OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO CRY AND THEY DIDN’T JUDGE ME AT ALL

THEY WERE TOTALLY ACCEPTING AND ANSWERED ALL MY STUPID FUCKING BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT HRT ABOUT WHAT THE APPT WAS GONNA BE LIKE

AND SHE WAS SO KIND AND SO UNDERSTANDING

AND SHE RESPECTED ME SO MUCH AND I WAS SO HAPPY

I CAN’T BELIEVE PEOPLE LIKE THAT EXIST IN OUR WORLD.

OH MY GOD.

AND I’M GOING TO BE GOING TO THIS WONDERFUL PLACE ON THE 29TH!!!!!!!!
