Reblog to have something good happen at 1:42 tomorrow

I saw this before I left work last night and had a quiet hope, and today I checked my phone at about quarter to two, while I was still on my lunch break, and I’ve just got a job interview with the BBC next week

I’m not a big believer in anything much but I’m so happy holy shit. So like unrelated note but something real good happened to me at 1.42 today lol

Can’t take any chances these days

Here goes

Dear friends of Tumblr,

Today at my school we had an assembly about internet predators and when I had said that most of my true friends are over the internet and they gave me a lecture about how “I don’t know who I’m talking to” blah blah. So please, if you aren’t a predator in any way, please reblog so i can prove a point.

If you don’t reblog this, then I am honestly very concerned.

everytime i see this im gonna reblog it and weed out my pedo followers

I’ll reblog it.

m8 i talk to my internet friends every night

boi yesss

But,,,,,,,,why would the pedophiles, who are trying to lure kids,,,,,,see this and think “oh damn I can’t reblog I’m a pedophile”

Some pedos see it as a sexuality or something that isn’t comPLETELY AND TOTALLY W R O N G

i don’t understand why atlantis isn’t more popular of a movie

i mean

amazing and unique art style 

spot-on humor

strong, badass female and/or POC characters

awkward but incredibly intelligent lead that isn’t conventionally attractive

COOKIE

history jokes that you won’t catch as a kid

MOTHER

FUCKING

WILHELMINA BERTHA PACKARD

did i mention

BADASS AF FEMALE CHARACTERS

AND MULTIPLE POC CHARACTERS

WHO BREAK STEREOTYPES LEFT AND RIGHT

i just have a lot of feelings about atlantis and i think it needs more love than it gets

I love this fucking movie, and from what I gathered from the commentary (which is amazing and worth a listen) a lot of it has to do with it being a Disney movie with no musical numbers and a piss poor marketing campaign.

Ya know what? If you reblog this with the word “power” and have your ask box open, I will provide you with a superhero name, powers, and nemesis. Just because!! Every. Single. Person.

power !

Hope you love it babe!!

Here’s a very simple guide on how I personally get out of my binder. It’s different for everyone because people have different body types though! (Mine is only mid compression too!)

Tips: 

  • I know it’s gross but if you’re damp in any way it’ll be difficult to get out or into your binder.
  • Instead of pulling from the waist pull from the top so it doesn’t roll up!
  • It will stretch with time.
  • Don’t let it roll up & Try to slide it off without folding it on itself!
  • Keep your arms up high to make it easier to get past your shoulders
  • If all else fails: Try to take your arms out through the neck hole and pull it down to step out of it. BUT this means you have to get it past your hips which may prove just as hard as your shoulders! 

people with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes are so pretty.. fantastic combination…

god i never realised how little people with dark brown hair n eyes get complimented until i made this post and discussed it with one of my friends, you guys dont get appreciated as much as you should and im glad that this small post meant something to you, youre all lovely

Thanks

…I almost killed myself

I put on my sunglasses, to hide my swollen eyes, over my tears. I cried all my makeup off. Went inside to have a milkshake. I don’t know why. I wanted something to drink as I figured out what I would do. I got a soda and a milkshake. Medium. The cashier looked at me and with a line around the corner of the counter he rushed away from the counter “Hold on “ he yelled to a coworker.

I filled my soda and went back and saw him looking all over. I go up and he gets close and says “I made it a large”.

That was seriously enough for me not to do it. His kindness. Someone went out of their way and as I went back in my car to cry I realized I could muster through a few other days. A few more weeks. Then I came down from that panicky high of anxiety, depression, and pain. I finished my shake. And it was enough time to let me feel better. I… I’m alive. I’ll make it through.

Try and be nice today. Tomorrow. Something as much as a smile. It helped so much.

Thank you man at McDonalds.

The milkshake saved my life

binary ftm passing tips

y'all pre-T gang fuckers need some help passing? howdy, you’ve come to the right place, even tho idk if I have the authority to share. heres what’s helped me. dunno if it’ll work for you but yknow. trial and error homeslice. I’m gonna go top to bottom.

HAIR

  • short hair usually passes better than long hair.
  • if you can’t cut it, tuck it into a cap. or say fuck it and cut it anyway.
  • a downside is this might bring out feminine features so be careful. but hair is hair. it grows back.

FACE

  • want that jawline to pop? just jut out your lower jaw a little bit.
  • also I squint my eyes a bit so they look smaller. that helps.

VOICE

  • I personally am a singer, so I’ve trained myself to sing and subsequently talk lower by trying to sustain the lowest note I can for as long as possible and repeating it until it’s solid and comes easy.
  • idk if this exercise is right so research it, but I can talk as low as a G2 on a good day.
  • also talking quieter helps you talk deeper.
  • and speak from your chest.

SHOULDERS

  • wear a few layers if you want to make your shoulders look wider.
  • t shirt, flannel, sweatshirt combo always work well.
  • make sure your tops aren’t oversized or that will look hella sus. make sure the shoulder seams actually line up with your shoulders and the sleeve aren’t too big.

CHEST

  • A binder. GC2B is what I use. it works wonders and I swim/work out in mine (be careful with that though!)
  • Don’t buy those shitty ass $9 “tomboy lesbian binders” off of Amazon. those are just sports bras with extra books and no binder panel. absolute rip off.
  • if you can’t afford/can’t get a binder, if you do some research there are programs where you can get one for free. or if you know anyone who recently got top surgery, ask them!
  • sports bras also work, but don’t fucking constrict your breathing.
  • never use tape or multiple binders at a time.
  • take breaks and don’t sleep in them.

FIGURE

  • Your waist and hips can be less curvy with exercise.
  • Research that. It’s out of my realm of experience.

LEGS/HEIGHT

  • If you feel too short, you can always get height inserts for your shoes.

PACKING

  • I personally hate packing because it gives me dysphoria but
  • invest in a good packer. and if you can’t afford one, a sock will do. just roll that bad boy up and stuff it in.
  • STPs are really useful if you get dysphoric using the men’s bathroom and sitting down. You might be able to DIY one if you can’t afford it but idk. it didn’t go well for me.

CLOTHES

  • if you don’t know what to wear, just look at what your other guy friends are wearing and get that.
  • get your dad or brothers hand-me-downs.
  • rummage through the lost and found. (shady)
  • GQ is good for if you want to keep up w style trends and shit.
  • just wear what you’re comfy in dude.
  • and if you can’t present masculine cuz of stuff, just even wearing a pair of boxers under your clothes will go a long way in helping your dysphoria.

ok I’m done thanks bye

Some real passing tips from a pre-T trans guy

I’m gonna preface this with a few things. First, no, passing is not a social construct its something trans people need for comfort and safety. If you have the luxury of not wanting to pass, don’t comment on my shit with “UwU you don’t have to pass to be trans” of course you don’t but we fucking want to. Second, I am pre T and pass well enough to be stealth with a cis male roommate, but I am incredibly lucky in that I am naturally masculine. What works for me may not work for you. I’m sorry if it doesn’t. This advice is all subjective and if you find that the opposite works better for you, more power to you. Third, some people cannot pass without hormones no matter what they do and I’m also sorry about that.

So here goes.

Clothes:

- Ditch the super baggy clothes. They may hide your curves but they only accentuate lack of muscle. You may pass but as a young boy. If this is your thing ok but I know most of us hate that. - I personally prefer neutral or earth tones. I don’t like to wear super bright colours, as they just tend to be more feminine. This is a super subjective one but it all plays into style. I have the style of a 90s teenage boy (and sometimes a skater boy) and it works, I pass. If you have the style of a little boy, you’re gonna look like a little boy. If you have the style of a butch lesbian, you will probably look like a butch lesbian (unless you’re on hormones). - I am small. And being so small I find that mens shirts don’t fit me well, especially button ups. It’s ok to shop in the boys section if you need to, there are some ok looking clothes. - You can pass in womens clothes if need be. It’s a little harder but it can be done. Avoid womens button ups because they accentuate the tiddy. Avoid V Necks. - Avoid tight clothes. Wear slightly loose pants and generally wear them on your hips. - Men’s button ups can be tricky. Some people pass in them, some don’t. I prefer short sleeved ones, but if you do wear them, rolling the sleeves to the elbow and keeping them unbuttoned with a t underneath is ok. This can look butchy if you aren’t careful. If you can afford it, get one tailored to you so you can wear it to things like job interveiws without looking like your shirt is too big and wrinkly. Sweaters over button ups is nerdy but actually looks ok. - Target and Old Navy can be good size wise, they tend to sell smaller pants (only down to like a 28 tho). Goodwills mens section is smaller than their womens section, and their pants are usually not in smaller sizes. However its a good place to get shirts. If you have thrift shops targerted at teens, those are some of the best. Here they’re called Platos Closet. - Shoes are P easy. I prefer my knock off vans, but yours should go with your style. If your style is casual and chill, knockoff vans work. If your style is classy or somth, a pair of boots or dress shoes might be better. - Shoe lifts. You can get them on amazon for a few bucks. They don’t change your height super drastically but if your self conscious about it, they can be confidence boosters af. - Wearing a belt can help disguise curves. - Looking nice can go a long way to boost confidence. I’m not saying you can’t wear sweats or basketball shorts all the time, but I am saying that looking good feels good. Confidence can go a long way in passing. -Socks. For some reason the style for guys rn is long socks, usually with a design on them, with cuffed pant legs. This actually looks p good if it goes with your personal style. But otherwise, your socks are up to you, most people aren’t paying attention to them. - Following the modern mens style for your age also can help you pass. - “But Oliver, what about individualism? If we’re all following these tips or the modern style, how can we be ourselves?”. Individualism is v important and can aid in passing too, because when you’re being yourself you’re more confident. So if you want, throw all these tips in the trash and do whatever you want. Or you can add in bits of individualism, a loud belt buckle, cute socks, some pins, a nice hat. Whatever floats your goat. - Jewelry. This is also part of individualism. Generally don’t wear dainty jewelry. I personally often wear thick rings, mens rings. Hoop earrings are feminine unless they’re the really small thick kind. Gauges are unisex. Piercings actually tend to be feminine if not done in a way that accentuates masculine features. Maybe thats just a personal opinion.

Hair:

- Short hair is not the end all be all of passing. - You can pass with long hair, but guys with long hair don’t style it like women do. Look up long hair styles if you want. - For those who do prefer short hair, barbers can be scary, especially pre T. I go to unisex places. They don’t have to be super expensive either. But not super duper cheap because messing up your hair can wreck your confidence. - When getting your hair done, ask for square shapes. Don’t be afraid to ask for a masculine cut, sometimes you have to speak up. Avoid the flippy undercut honestly, unless you really like it, you know the one trender haircut they all have. I prefer skater boy hair or 90s rebel. - I have cycled through every colour possible for hair and I’ve always found that I pass better with darker hair. And especially natural colours. Bright unnatural colours are more feminine and again, trendery.

Binding and packing:

- Binding and packing don’t guarantee that you’re gonna pass. - But yes some people are gonna look at your boobs and think woman. - Packing is less about passing and more about comfort, unless you’re wearing super tight pants or tights. They can make you more confident and less dysphoric but most people don’t pay attention to yo dick. - Don’t pack super big. Just no. - Bind safely or ruin your chances of top surgery later on. - Don’t buy cheap binders. You will fucking regret it. Underworks, GC2B, Flavnt are the main ones that I know to be safe. - You can get a soft packer on amazing for like 12 dollars. - You can also use a sock if you only care about having something there and not about how real the dick itself looks. - STP packers can be amazing, but expensive. I prefer the ezp but fat guys usually have trouble with that one (not in a mean way its just made for smaller guys). Do a good deal of research before buying an STP and practice in the shower and at home until you can do it perfectly every time. Or else you risk pissing yourself in public.

Behavior:

- This is completely, 100% subjective but some behaviors are gonna get you written off as either female or gay. - Manspread. Don’t take up like 6 seats but spread its ok. Try to keep your body squarish. When crossing your legs, try to do it with your ankle on your knee. Idk how to describe that sitting position lmao. - I naturally walk masculinely, I always have. Don’t sway your hips. You can move your shoulders a little tho. But unless your going for wanna be gangster, don’t want like it. - Be more monotone and talk a little slower. - Don’t force your voice to be super low but do practice talking in lower registers. - Mimic the kind of guy you wanna be. You wanna be a rebellious type? Mimic the bodily behavior of one. Wanna be a gentleman? Mimic one.

Some general tips:

- Don’t wear makeup. I shouldn’t have to say this but… Seriously the most you should do is darken your eyebrows subtly. Makeup beards don’t work. Masculine contour is obviously makeup. - Shave. It just feels good and gets rid of peach fuzz. Also.good practice for T. - Excersize regularly. I don’t care if you start at once a month. It makes you feel good, endorphins and such, and it makes you feel more masculine. It also helps you be healthier and is just good practice. - Don’t force it. If you’re not comfortable, people are gonna notice. - Remember that the real world isn’t like tumblr. Most people aren’t gonna call you he if you’re wearing a dress with your tiddies out. Maybe when you’re on T, but seriously why would you even want to. - Find what works for you. Experiment. Its ok to go through 100 different styles before you find yours. - One person calling you she doesn’t actually mean you’re not passing. People are weird, sometimes they mess up even with cis people. It happens. Don’t freak. You don’t even always have to correct them, just give them a confused look like “who?”. - Don’t be upset when you correct somebody. Just be like “I’m a dude”. If they keep calling you she after you say that, and they don’t know you’re trans, you might have to out yourself to correct them. If they do know, ditch them. - If possible, keep transphobes outta your life. I know its not allways possible but it does certainly help your mood to not have to deal with them. - I personally don’t hang with most openly trans people and especially not trenders because I don’t wanna be associated with them. Yes. People will judge you by your friends. - Dont clench your jaw to make it more masculine. All that will do is make your jaw sore.

That’s all I can think of, feel free to add on.
