I Am Transsexual and Want An Education

Most of you know I am a transsexual. I do not hide it and I have never tried to.  

I am also a college student. Like many Americans, I cannot really afford to be there. Many trans people like me cannot afford higher education either.  

Transgender people don’t have the same kind of opportunities that cisgender people do. Either you live a lie and torture yourself because you know your family will forsake you if you say anything, you tell them everything and are kicked out, or you are lucky enough to get a neutral to positive response. Yes, neutral is lucky. 

The trans folks that say nothing and live in agony being unsupported and trapped can maybe go to college but know that if they say anything their tuition might be out the door, that their parents or family or guardians will throw them to the wolves. So they either suffer in silence or end up committing suicide. 

The trans folks that came out and were kicked out have basically no chance at ever going to college. You might be able to get government and private loans, but you’ll be drowning in debt by the end of it all. Debt you may never be able to pay off alone. 

The remaining lucky ones most likely still come from low to middle income families that can’t really afford college anyways. It is a borderline no-win scenario. 

How is this fair? Can’t everybody see this is cruel? This is a struggle faced by all queer people, but is intensified by the trans label. We are easy targets. 

I was once talking to a girl who was also queer, but not trans. I said, “Rae, in my state, it is illegal for me to use a public restroom. It is illegal for public institutions to give me my life saving medication. I have almost no rights. We are witnessing a modern-day segregation.” I live in Florida. 

She turned to me and said, “You know it’s hard for me too. There are like, no gay bars in my city. No fun ones anyway.” 

I felt like I had been slapped. I never really talked to her again.  

Of course, all queer people face oppression, but for her to dismiss the violent and dangerous actions that are being taken against my people in favor of her own problems highlights a deeper issue with the attitude towards trans people. 

We are an afterthought. 

We are different. 

Other people are so far removed from the plight of trans people that they do not recognize how privileged they are by comparison and damn it I refuse to be an afterthought for much longer. 

I do not want to live in quiet, secret moments anymore. I do not want to be in the shadows and behind closed doors. I want to feel comfortable out in the open. I shouldn’t have to hide. Let me wear what I want and be what I am. Let me hold my boyfriend’s hand in public. Let me be able to take off my binder or just not wear it at all. Let my people have healthcare and basic human decency. Let us get an education and let us use the goddamn bathroom. Let us. Let us. Let us.

The #TransgenderFirst College Scholarship- For Transgender Students

The first national scholarship exclusively dedicated to help the underserved Transgender student community get affordable access to college

I really hate to do this but I really gotta ask y'all for some help here. We're trying to save up for my partner's testosterone and top surgery cause his mental health is being absolutely destroyed by dysphoria but life just keeps shooting us in the foot with unexpected costs whenever we get a small boost so we're running out of options to get him sorted before his mental health gets much worse.

We've researched the cheapest safe way to get this done and it's looking like it's gonna cost us about £6k more than we've got saved. If anyone could spare anything to help a disabled kinky furry artist get comfortable in his own skin it would be 100% appreciated!

He's happy to draw your OCs/sonas in any situation you're wanting or to make y'all ref sheets (just not bodily waste related situations pls) in return for your donations! His Instagram is @build_a_wolf if y'all are interested in commissions from him or mine is @eattherichart if y'all want crochet commissions

via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.

nex benedict, a 16 year old nonbinary student in oklahoma, was beaten to death by three of their female classmates in the same district libs of tiktok has been targeting. not only is this heartbreaking for us to hear about, but i can’t even begin to imagine what this must be like for the family.

too many trans children have died and too few people are talking about this

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

Exactly.

Hey! I, (PTSD trans man), was out with my friend last night celebrating her, (autistic black woman), birthday when her car got towed. All three of us pooled all our money together to get it out since she had work in the morning, but that means I have no rent money or gas money until Thursday when she hopefully gets paid enough to pay me back. Please consider sending her a dollar or two so she can pay me and our other friend, (DID black bi gender fluid), back so I don't miss my rent. It was around $180 to get her car out.
