hey guys. my name’s chris. i was born christina. from the time I was five years old, I knew I was trans. and I spent my high school years being picked on for being too boyish. Art was my escape. Through art, I could draw my body exactly how I wanted it to look.
This year I turned 18, and finally told my mom and dad I’m trans. I wanted to do it before Christmas, so I could spend my first Christmas out of hiding. I knew my parents would be upset, but I didn’t expect them to kick me out.
Sadly, they turned on me. they said they loved me, but that i’d be a bad influence on my five-year-old brother. a big part of me is relieved that I’ll be out of the house, but the other part of me is freaking the fuck out. i’m jobless and broke. i have three more weeks before I have to pay rent and groceries all on my own. I’ll be looking for a job, but in the meantime I'm desperate to have the security of a month’s rent.
Please PLEASE help me. if you can even give $5 … it will help so much.
Raja is a director. We have been raising money to help her family get out of Palestine, and today she asked me to share one of her films with everyone.
If you have a second, please watch this beautiful piece of art by a Palestine director. This is the culture that Israel is trying to destroy.

Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.
This site has been going around Twitter trans accounts quite a bit lately, so just pointing out here too that it'll do fuck all, they're exploiting trans people at a time when hrt is particularly hard to access and please don't give them your money
If You Are Or Know A Trans Person Living In England, Please Read This!
Our Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, is reportedly planning to 'review and revise' The Equality Act 2010, and plans to remove legal protections for transgender people living in England, claiming to "make it clear that sex means biological sex rather than gender".
If this becomes reality, trans people will be denied access to same-sex spaces, including bathrooms, hospital wards, shelters and safe houses. Trans people will not have a legal right to go into these spaces, meaning they will not only be at greater risk of discrimination but also legal trouble too.
If these protections are removed from The Equality Act, trans people will be forced to declare their Assigned Gender At Birth as their gender identity in these situations for their own safety.
Sunak has been vocal about his transphobia in the past. If this is approved, more of our rights may be taken away in the future.
There are multiple news articles reporting this topic, if you wish to read them.
Please, sign petitions to help stop this from happening. There are currently 2 on Change.org as I'm writing this:
"Stop Rishi Sunak scrapping Transgender rights"
"Stop Rishi's trans-rights reforming"
Even if this doesn't directly affect you, please help the ones that it does. Trans people are already discriminated against daily just for living their lives, please help us to stop Rishi Sunak from making it worse.

In Slab City there are no utilities, that means no electrical company, no gas company, and definitely no water company! Everyone has to provide their own for their own camp.
We have a 355 gallon tank that we let our neighbors fill jugs from. It costs $40 to hire someone to fill our tank with drinking water and it drains from use in little over a week.
Right now we're nearing the bottom of the tank and we need your help to fill it back up!
**URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**
Monday, May 15th: Hello everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman in desperate need of help, as I'm still struggling to pay my rent which is two weeks overdue.
As most of you are already aware from my previous posts, I have been struggling financially these past few years due to Covid-19 and my welfare benefit (Universal Credit) being under continuous reviews, which is due to my worsening mental/physical health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And after a lengthy health assessment, I have been declared not to be fit for work, however, I am still waiting for the outcome of my Adult Disability application, which I applied for back in January.
To be quite honest, these past few months have been absolute hell for me, and with no other income, I've been relying on the kindness of others to get by. However, due to my outstanding debt, my benefit last month was taken and I wasn't able to pay my rent or utilities, and the funds that I received to pay off everything were recently taken by more overdue bills and fees. (I missed a council tax payment and was charged for the full years amount.)
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much. Thank you so much for all your help!! ❤

south carolina just immediately banned medical transition care for all youth, and for adults on medicaid. please donate to the southern trans youth emergency project, which places money directly in the hands of trans youth so they can travel for care.
it's supposed to be under 3c/37f for the rest of the week and heating costs way too much. we have two payments going out tomorrow that'll take us -99.66 into our overdraft and it's so fucking cold my hands keep going stiff.
i know it's a rough time for everyone but if you have anything to spare so we can keep the electric on it'd be so appreciated.
