Help a Trans Guy Afford to Eat While in Post Op Recovery

Hey ya’ll, I’m sorry to have to do this but I was fired from my job that I was getting paid under the table when I asked for time off to recover from top surgery. Well, I have had the surgery, and I am broke. I was living paycheck to paycheck before this, and now I’ve been saving every cent just so I can keep a roof above my head. I haven’t had an actual meal in a few days, I’m mostly living off of ramen and stale bread. If you have anything to spare, please consider helping a trans sibling out. Every dollar helps me out. If you aren’t in a position to help that way then please share this post so others may be able to. Advice on post op recovery is also greatly appreciated!

Calling on the LGBTQ community;

Call me Ben, I am 21 years old and I am an atheist transgender woman living in a  country where its a big sin to be homosexual or transgeder. The sentence is 14 years imprisonment if caught or reported with evidence.

I have been living an undercover life for four years now, my family are extremely religious and wouldn't let it slide if they get to know about me. My uncle suspected me once, he told my parents and they promised to hand me to the Feds if the suspicions a true. My mom (who is lenient)promised to send me to corrective therapy and never allowed access to the outside world until I'm sane (they see my originality as insanity).

I can't keep this cover up for much longer, already I'm raising eyebrows and so many are watching my every step. I'm scared, and all I ask Is be what I want in a safe environment. I don't want to face 14years jail term nor want to be looked up in a corrective therapy.

I'm calling on the LGBTQ.

I want to move out to a neighbouring country where Its not a crime to be who/what you want to be.

The money is to cover my travel expenses and living expenses until I reach a place where I can create my own income.

Please share and reblog.

Like and reblog if your account is a safe space for trans lesbians. It feels like trans lesbians in particular get shamed and ridiculed a lot by people in and out of the community. If you’re reading this I want to let you know you’re valid and I hope your safe and doing well.

There was a book I wanted to read, but the book was long and I didn’t have the time or patience.

then I found the book in mags form and I read the whole thing in 4 hours without looking up. I understood the book and talked about it to my family and they were impressed with how much of it I retained even moths after reading it. manga can be a great tool for learning, it’s not dumb just because it has pictures and it’s not just for little kids who don’t want to read.

I actually love how the rainbow became the symbol for LGBTQ liberation.

Gilbert Baker may not have known this when he (a gentile) made the first rainbow flag, but the word for "rainbow" in Hebrew is "קשת"- Keshet.

Keshet is also the Hebrew word for "bow", the weapon.

The rainbow is a symbol of a truce, of Hashem promising to never destroy humanity again. But the arrow- it's a far more complicated symbol.

First- it's a symbol of war. It's a weapon, a long-distance weapon, one of the deadliest in ancient times.

Second- it's a symbol of loyalty. When David and Yonatan devised the code Yonatan would use to inform David if he was safe or not, they decided on using arrows.

Third- it's a symbol of respect. According to Chassidic teachings, pulling back the quiver symbolizes pulling back on one's ego, in order to go further.

On Lag B'Omer, a highly mystical Jewish holiday, it is customary to shoot with a bow and arrow.

I love that the Keshet has become a symbol of LGBTQ liberation, because we strive for peace and reconciliation, but are prepared to defend ourselves, as if with a bow and arrow. We are both a rainbow and a weapon.

"Married LGBTQ people: CALL A LAWYER (caps: call a lawyer).

Get copies of birth certificates and custody for your children on paper. Make sure life insurance policies, property that you own, bank account information, passwords for things, Powers of Attorney, etc. are all set up & understood.

The mass nullification of marriages is major for LEGAL REASONS (caps: legal reasons), not just ideological ones. Literally anything can be taken by the state or family members in lieu of a clear transfer path of these matters." End ID]

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

I don't know what teenage girl needs to hear this, but that older man in your dms on your coquette blog is intentionally trying to sexually abuse and sexually exploit you and many other teenage girls. You are not special to that man; he's making an effort to manipulate you and other girls your age because he thinks you're an easy, exploitable target. He wants to get your nudes, use you for his entertainment and abandon you for another underage girl who thinks the attention is fun at the time. There's a reason he has to go after young girls instead of women his own age; they know he's predatory and evil. That's a child predator. Block him and warn other young girls if you can
