Help a disabled woman from becoming homeless!

**URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**

Tuesday, May 9th: 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 extremely overdue by nine days!!

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.

I know this is a difficult time for everyone, and I'm so sorry to be asking for help again, but I still desperately need some as my welfare last month was taken by my overdrawn bank, and I wasn't able to pay my rent. My PayPal is also overdrawn, and I desperately need help.

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!! ❤

£0/£205!!

The reason vaginal atrophy in HRT is rarely discussed isn't because some nefarious boogeyman wants to transgenderficate all your pretty lesbian crushes into chronic pelvic pain it's because people don't give a shit about transmasculine reproductive health and you hijacking the topic for your detransition propaganda will only make things worse as you discourage transmascs from researching the subject and learning that it's treatable

"You'll live with chronic pain for the rest of your life is it worth it" casual ableism aside you're saying that as if vaginal atrophy doesn't happen to half of all postmenopausal people, what makes you think you're immune

Because I am on a mission to make sure everyone knows this and every time vaginal atrophy comes up, I will bring it up: Vaginal atrophy is easily preventable and treatable. if YOU are on T and you're experiencing it, PLEASE let your gyno/HRT doc know. They can prescribe topical estrogen which will treat the issue without interfering with your HRT! I've looked into it a LITTLE and over the counter phyto-estrogen creams seem to have an effect but IDK if I'd 100% trust them. Sorry, this is just super fucking important to me and literally everyone on T needs to know about it because when I was doing the research NO ONE brought up how easily it was treated until I looked into vaginal atrophy itself and found out because of how it's treated in menopausal women. When I talked to the doctor at planned parenthood she echoed this, too. That if vaginal atrophy starts to develop, I should just let her know so she can prescribe me topical estrogen to help! the fact that we aren't fucking told this is PART of the problem. The fact that we're told it's inevitable and untreatable is part of the problem. You don't *have* to deal with that pain and discomfort.

!!!

Topical estrogen won't affect your T levels either, from what I know. It will just affect the vagina, so you don't have to worry that your transition will be impacted if you do get vaginal atrophy treated. If you are worried about topical estrogen affecting your transition talk to your doctor! There's no reason trans people should suffer out of fear and misinformation.

This is true! Be aware that whether you can get effective treatments over the counter will depend on the exact pharmacy laws in your area -- for example, in NZ it’s a prescription-only medicine (but prescriptions are subsidised so this isn’t too bad).

This matters because there’s a bunch of products out there that claim to treat vaginal atrophy, including lube and “vaginal moisturisers”, which don’t have the estrogen in them that makes it work properly. You’ll probably get some relief from the moisturising but it won’t be reversing the atrophy. These products are available over the counter and one is directly shilled by Buck Angel lmfao so it can be tempting to go for them rather than going through the hassle of getting a script, but please, if you can, get the prescription stuff that works the best ^_^

If you're post menopausal or on T, please talk to your doctor about vaginal estrogen! It can help prevent frequent UTIs which are a common complication of vaginal atrophy, not to mention chronic pain and dyspareunia.

I love u fat goths so fucking much

maybe mediocrity isn’t wrong. maybe you don’t need to be the best at everything you do. maybe you don’t need to be the best at anything you do. it’s ok to simply do things because you enjoy doing them. its ok to not want to advance in your job. nothing has to be a competition. you don’t need to be better than anyone. you can do things just because they’re fun. you don’t need to read up on the history, and know everything about it. its ok to just exist. its ok.

Deadass

The social cheat I’ve learned for this is to say:

“I have to check my calendar, why, what’s Friday?”

This says “Maybe” without saying “Maybe”, and giving you the option to make up a Doctor’s Appointment You Forgot About (or reschedule one you didn’t!) depending on what they say.

It’s an amazingly powerful sentence for my Autistic and ADHD ass - it gives me the ability to judge my social spoons, as well as communicating that “hey, I might have forgotten something, it’s not you it’s me” in a very non-offensive way.

“I have to check my calendar, why?”

Text reads: Narcissistic personality disorder doesn't inherently make you a bad person. You can choose to do good things, with or without NPD. Being a good person is a choice anyone can make, not something that can be done by some people and not others based upon things they have no control over.

I hope this is good! And I truly do believe this! Having a cluster b disorder doesn't automatically mean you're bad. You can make the choice to show kindness to the world around you, and even if it's hard sometimes, you need to also make the choice to show kindness to yourself.

Reblog if you:

- Are transneutral

- Support transneutral people

- Want transneutrals to be included when people discuss transfemmes and transmascs, and be mentioned more in general

- Just really like animals :3

And if focusing on getting through the next 24 hours is too much? Then cut that down to the next hour. Or half-hour. Or five minutes. Or one minute. Or thirty seconds. Break that time into small, bite-sized chunks that you can manage.

New post for this since my last one has died. I still need help paying for top surgery! I have finally set a date and thank to donations + me finding work i have managed to put aside $7000. My consultation resulted in me being told surgery would cost $15,400, which is partially thanks to fat tax! I have five months to pay this, and will be putting as much money from my paychecks aside as i can, but any and all help is greatly appreciated!

gofundme

Thank u so much <3

If all my followers could give just $5 i would hit my goal!!

Hi since tumblr rolled out checkmarks maybe u can consider giving me $5 instead of a site that showed me an antisemitic blazed post $8!!!!!!

I can feel…the serotonin and dopamine dropping…i need to make…Crafts

i must make…

B…

B e a d l i z a r d

I have seen these things for years but never knew how to make them so I must thank op for this new knowledge

op has given me the best gift possible

ive been making them for four days

Am… am I back in the 90’s?

Bead animals were my JAM in the 90’s!! And you don’t have to limit your creativity to lizards, either! With a few adjustments, you can make anything!

AND with a little practice, you can even make them 3D shaped (especially with the smaller beads and wire, though you can make them with the bigger beads and string, to an extent) 

These connect powerfully to some locked-down memories

Fuck the idea that you need empathy to be a good person. All you need is to have some compassion and acknowledge when certain actions can be harmful. (Note that this is not the same as empathy assholes)

small dick jokes are shitty and you should feel shitty
