About Us

tuckingandotherskills:

This blog is aimed at DMAB (that’s designated male at birth) trans people. We’re tired of playing second fiddle to DFAB trans people in the queer community and having our spaces flooded exclusively with pictures and advice about binding, packing, testosterone, how to cultivate facial hair, etc. etc.

So here is a blog for you, DMAB people, where we’re going to be talking about tucking, padding, oestrogen, obliterating facial hair, makeup, clothes, and anything else your cisgender parents didn’t teach you, and your queer community was too busy elsewhere to fill you in on.

Some of the advice here will relate particularly to trans* women to do with passing, going stealth, transitioning and so on, but for the most part we’d hope that our advice will be as helpful to DMAB nonbinary trans* people to consolidate their knowledge on how to express their gender too!

so yeah i done it.

ATTENTION: MAJOR EPILEPSY WARNING FOR A TUMBLR RADAR PICK

fracturedrefuge:

If your Tumblr radar has an image from tripthelightfantastik (like mine does right now) and you are at all triggered by flashing gifs, DO NOT GO TO THEIR PAGE.  The background on their page is a rapidly flashing gif in bright, neon colors.

(What my Tumblr radar currently looks like.)

Hell, I don’t have any sensitivities to things like that and I couldn’t deal with it.

There is also auto-play music.

Please signal boost this.  Being a Tumblr radar pick means this person is going to have a lot of exposure.  I don’t want anyone triggered by this.

youstupidfucks: This is my cousin, and he’s been missing for nearly four years. The Indiana State Police are re-issuing a media statement in Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Lexington and the surrounding areas, so since his story will be run again, I wanted to put this out. I’ve seen people found and brought home who’ve circulated around Tumblr, so…I figured why not. The Kentuckiana Crime Stoppers, I will mention, is offering up to $1000 for information leading to finding him. Their number is (502) 582 CLUE and their website is www.582clue.com. Four years is a long time and a lot could have happened. We haven’t heard anything from him, but despite all that, I still want to have faith. Please reblog this to get the word out.

Help

kai-kau:

I am getting forced out of my house soon because of being gay and transgender.

Mum: “You either need to stop acting like a boy and be a girl, or get out. You are ruining your little sister’s life with your choices. A six-year-old cannot go around and say, ‘I have a two brothers, one used to be a girl.’ That’s not right and God and I are disappointed in you.”

I don’t know what to really do. I just turned eighteen, and I don’t have a job yet since I am trying to finish up schooling.

If anyone has a room open or something in the Las Vegas area, please help.

I will try my damn hardest, even if it means I cannot go to college, to get a job and help pay bills if it is necessary.

But I cannot live here anymore because of my family.

TRANS COUCHSURFING NETWORK - PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THE HELL OUT OF THIS ›

starcrossed-sky:

transcouchnetwork:

Hi! I just started a tumblr, the Transgender Couchsurfing Network.  After seeing dozens of posts come across my dash about displaced or homeless trans people needing places to crash, I decided that there had to be a way to organize these posts somehow, and to put those in need in contact with those willing to lend a hand.  If you’re trans and need a place to stay, or if you have a couch or floor or spare bedroom available for someone in need, I urge you to reblog this post, follow the blog, and get the word out.  Everything is still under heavy construction, but the more people that see and hear about this blog, the more people will be able to benefit from it!  I know that there are so many people here on tumblr who are in need of a place to stay for a night or two, and I also know how many amazing, wonderful people would be willing to host someone and help out a trans person in need.  We all know what a huge problem unemployment and homelessness are for trans people (especially TPOC and trans women) — even a place to stay for a night can make the biggest difference!  So PLEASE, even if you can’t offer up your couch, REBLOG AND SIGNAL BOOST.  I really, really think that this is something that could help a lot of people, and I would LOVE to see this spammed all over my dash and the dashes of all of my lovely followers!!

Holy shit if you don’t reblog this get off my blog seriously

My best friend is a trans couch surfer and just

sakj;dgjhdsahkgs all of the reblog

emileesaurus:

So yeah, I recently lost my job AND my computer’s hard drive died in a way that isn’t covered by my protection plan (thanks, Best Buy). And I have rent and a car payment coming up. So, seeing as how I would like to not be completely broke, and also get my computer back and stop mooching off my brother’s incomprehensibly slow laptop, I’m opening up commissions!

HAVE SOME INFO:

  • Commissions will be either bust or waist-up, up to two characters in a picture, with no charge for extra characters.
  • I prefer to do fanart (my main fandoms are DC and Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I’ll take anything), but I will theoretically do OCs if you can provide me with decent references.
  • Yes, I will draw kissing and sappy things (oh how I love drawing kissing and sappy things), no I don’t care if it’s het, slash, or femslash. BRING IT ON.
  • I take payment through PayPal.

Prices are as follows: 
B/W Inked - $15
Colored - $20

If you’re interested, email me at thegrimwombat@gmail.com to discuss terms.

Any signal boosts would be very much appreciated, even if you don’t feel like buying! Thank you all so much!

CeCe McDonald is facing the same charge as George Zimmerman

genderbitch:

thecurvature:

amaditalks:

telegantmess:

i’m just going to keep reblogging this.

The Change.Org petition to have charges against CeCe dropped.

Reblogging again for the petition link AGAIN, because it makes me really angry that this has been going on for so long and the petition still has less than 10,000 signatures. I feel like everyone has to know about CeCe McDonald right now, but clearly not.

Still reblogging. Still watching too many people not give a shit.

Update: 11 year old trans girl lost appeal ›

transawareness:

The above article is an update.  Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost.  She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender.  She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.

Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your friends to sign it. We’ve managed to get 40K signatures for a pageant model, we’ve only gotten 11K for a little girl about to have her life ruined.  Lets get on the ball and spread the word.

Sign It.

White Man Kills a Black Couple with Kids because they asked him not to Shoot his guns while they were playing outside with kids

vivalaevolucion:

HAS EVERYONE SEEN THIS? This happened recently. The story goes that this father was playing outside with his kids and went to go talk to this guy(the white man), because he was shooting his guns  in the area where they were playing. The white man came over and shot him in the head FOR NO REASON. Did the same thing to the wife WHILE THE KIDS WERE WATCHING. Swear, white people don’t give a damn anymore about being discrete. This is why we need to tighten gun laws. This why we need to have a predominantly ethnic (People of Color) police force and investigation unit to combat this crap. We wonder why the Black Panther is calling for the death of George Zimmerman, but think about it. They grew up in a time where a white man could lynch you or kill you IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, and go about their  business as if nothing even happened. We are now devolving back to a time where prosperity, peace, and higher knowledge will not come because whites feel as if they are being oppressed (meaning they don’t get to be superior to people of color anymore *white tears*)

I need everyone to either reblog this post or copy and paste the link so we can bring national attention to this story. It’s about time we make this an issue.
