I haven't even started hrt yet and have had no surgeries and I didn't want to start to change all of the paperwork stuff until I was sometime into transition
You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.
You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.
You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.
You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.
You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.
You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.
You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.
You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.
You've gotta love.
Reed says trans people living in Democrat-run states have been able to live "relatively peacefully and freely" over the last few years, even as anti-trans bills have been passing in Republican state legislatures amid a rise in anti-trans rhetoric. She does not expect that peace to last much longer. "Everything that I've seen in the reddest of state legislatures, I'm expecting to see all of that at a federal level, at minimum," Reed said. "I'm expecting Trump to likely use his office to target transgender people in blue states." The ACLU has tracked 531 anti-LGBTQ bills across the U.S. in this year's legislative session alone, including restrictions on gender-affirming care and pronoun changes in schools. Reed expects Trump to target trans youth in schools, end or obstruct access to medical care for trans people of all ages and end passport gender marker changes.
@ Canadians
I think we have a solid factual basis and enough supporting evidence that (provided that the conservatives lose the election) we may have a case to have Canada alter or withdraw from its safe third country agreement with the United States and begin to accept trans refugees from there.
But this is not going to happen if we don't demand it and present information that should lead to an update to the law.
So in addition to voting in the next election, please try to get in contact with local immigrant and LGBTQ advocacy groups and organize to bring this information before those who could act on it, including phone calls to members of parliament.
It is time to take action. We can't just assume someone else will do it in our place.
As a refugee myself, I am already gathering allies and information to coordinate actions from the shadows. I am hopeful that this can be done.
its been 17 days since i posted my crowd funding post and so far only one person donated $20 anonymously (thank you to that person) but I'm not getting what i need in time (apartments get taken fast) and i don't know where i should turn for help for donations and signal boosting
does anyone have any tips or advice on how to get my crowdfunding post seen and spread by more people?
This is exactly what I mean when I say the society even more “progressive” societies are inherently ableist
My brother has been helping me with government assistance and benefits but him and the case manager have told me that the process will take a while longer then expected and i would love to move out sooner then later so I can begin to live the way I want to live away from bigoted and abusive members of my family but I'm told that I need to save up money for a security deposit before I can receive rental assistance for an apartment witch would take long because I would first need to find one available and then it would need to be inspected for approval and one of the problems I have is that I'm practically unable to because of how little I'm getting right now and how fast the money goes due to things like food, toiletries, my phone bill, some goes to my uncle's rent and bills, and I would just want some support temporarily until all these welfare processes are completed and I can finally live on my own or with someone else. eventually I would need to move into the city because my informed consent clinic is in the city also NYC has better and more services and benefits and an easier process but I currently don't officially live there and I am told that the whole or most of the process would basically have to start over again. If anyone knows how to set up a GoFundMe or anything like that and make it work please help me with that
like if there's an addon or an app that would be better for me, I wish I could more easily understand that stuff though
is there any way to download or mass reblog all of the posts I've liked or save them or search through them easily?
Hello everyone, My name is Tiffany I'm trans, autistic, disabled and cant work with chronic fatigue syndrome, executive dysfunction and I have avoidant personality disorder/high anxiety and don't have a social support network that is supportive of me being transgender I've never been employed and am basically unemployable I'm in the process of getting benefits like ssi, snap, medicare, and medicaid but in order to receive rental assistance I need to be able to pay first months rent and a move in fee but I'm practically unable to because of how little I'm getting right now and how fast the money goes due to things like food, my phone bill, some goes to my uncle's rent and bills, and I would just want some support temporarily until all these government assistance processes are completed witch would take long because first I need to find one available and the cheapest apartments I can apply for in my area are $1800 to $2300 plus security deposit then it would need to be inspected for approval and then hopefully I can finally live on my own planning to hopefully live on all that but its taking longer then expected and i would love to move out sooner then later so I can begin to live the way I want to live away from bigoted and abusive members of my family
In the latest meeting with Nayib Bukele, where they confirmed they will not be releasing the guy they imprisoned because of an administrative error, Trump once again floated the idea of also selling US citizens into slavery in El Salvador.
He said he wants to "deport" as many people as possible, and has already shown he considers things like Tesla vandalism and anti-genocide protests to be a good enough reason to do it.
