Trans Awareness - Tumblr Posts
Happy Trans day of visibility! Here are some TOH pfps I made for yall! Enjoy!
⬇️ a message from Viney to all you transphobes
Let’s spend today remembering Lou Sullivan, gay trans man, author, and political activist, the stone-cold sumbitch responsible for getting heterosexuality removed as a requirement for medical transition. After testing positive for HIV, he wrote in his diary, “I took a certain pleasure in informing the gender clinic that even though their program told me I could not live as a gay man, it looks like I’m going to die like one.”

Happy Trans Visibility Day, y'all! I'm an out and proud trans/nonbinary person, and today I see all my trans family! You are celebrated wherever you are in your journey, friends. 💛
Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility from your friendly neighborhood nonbinary owl!
Hey, I hope you're doing well. If you would be able to share my emergency commissions/donation post it would make my day! https://lifeisfullofsimplepleasures.tumblr.com/post/679628550656196608/help-out-a-trans-dude-recovering-from-top-surgery
I don't have a huge following or anything, but I'm always willing to help signal boost for a fellow trans person in need! So y'all, if you visit their page and are able to donate or share the link, I encourage you to do what you can.
I posted this last year, & as another TDoV has come I figured I would share a bit of progress on my personal journey & some thoughts on the state of things for trans rights in my country.
As of this month, I've been on testosterone for a year & a quarter, & while I have experienced some changes I was looking forward to, I am still misgendered daily. I will probably never pass as a transmasculine person, but I'm doing my best to come to terms with that.
A fully positive experience was finally having top surgery at the beginning of February. My healing for that has gone pretty well overall, & the euphoria I get from having a flat chest has been so incredibly validating that I can't adequately put it into words.
That said, I have experienced transphobia going out in public, from occasional customer service workers & other customers in stores, & even from medical professionals during a recent health scare (I am recovering, no worries there).
My home state has a bill on the docket that would ban HRT for minors & prevent anyone from having their birth certificate amended after they are a year old. I have not yet begun the process of changing my gender markers on any of my legal documents, so this would directly affect two of my transition goals.
Similar bills have already passed in several states in the US, & many more are being introduced & discussed in others. The attacks on the civil rights of transgender people in the US are relentless right now, & the fearmongering & moral panic regarding trans people is at an all time high.
We need our cis & het allies now more than ever because we cannot protect our rights on our own. Our voices, though loud, are often drowned out by the opposition, & even those not directly opposed to trans rights aren't taking the situation here as seriously as they should.
Trans people are people, the same as anyone else, & all we want is to live our lives as ourselves & be afforded the same rights & dignity that cis people are afforded without question. As a visibly trans person living in the Bible Belt of the southern US, I am afraid that my very personhood may be stripped away from me soon.
It isn't a nice way to live, & moving somewhere safer isn't an immediate possibility for me. It's not feasible at all for many people. These transphobic bills & laws need to be met with strong opposition, & we need to fight just as hard to have protections for trans civil rights coded into law.
I am doing what I can, & I implore you all to do the same, be you cis or trans. We're all in this together, & we need each other now more than ever. Compassion & hope are what I wish for all my trans siblings on this day, & may our next TDoV find the world a more accepting place.

I was going to do a fancy new banner, but unfortunately my allergies have decided that I have no energy for that. Nevertheless, happy TDoV, everyone. Stay strong through these trying times. We won't give up. They can't unmake us. We matter. You all matter. I see you, & you're all wonderful. Much love, from your friendly neighborhood nonbinary owlish corvid! 💛

don't use "ftm" it's outdated and offensive. it implies that the trans person was their agab, which we never were. i was always a boy, never a girl who became a boy.
i'm 35 years old. i've been IDing as trans or something similar to trans for nearly 20 years. i was probably calling myself FTM while you were playing tag during recess, anon.
i WAS a girl. i IDed as a girl early in my life. i recognized myself as a girl, called myself a girl, lived as a girl, and was a girl. who then IDed as a man. hence, F t M.
spend more time worrying about yourself instead of strangers on the internet, anon.
sorry not sorry if this comes off as needlessly hostile, but i've been getting a lot of shit from a lot of teenage trans kids about the language i use to describe my own goddamn experience, and i'm growing real fuckin weary of it.
i have elder trans friends who call themselves transsexuals and transvestites and trannies. are you going to seriously go to a 60-year-old trans person who survived the reagan years and tell her she's not allowed to use certain language to describe herself because it might offend the delicate sensibilities of some teenager on the internet?
do yourself a favor and log off, find some real-life trans people who are over the age of 20 or 25, and spend time talking to them instead of getting all holier-than-thou at random strangers on tumblr.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
You are valid no matter who tells you otherwise. And if anyone does tell you otherwise just tell them they wouldn’t have survived Thanos’ snap ;)

LGBTQ+ History! We'Wha
Continuing on from my last post, let's look at another gender-non-conforming historic figure in celebration of Trans Awareness Month!
We'wha was a Zuni Native American from the 19th century who gained notoriety and fame for their prolific work as a cultural ambassador and educator on Zuni culture. We'wha was lhamana, which is someone, who takes on both female and male orientated roles within their tribe as well as dressing in male and female clothing.
"The Zuni lhamana, like other Indigenous social, cultural and ceremonial roles, exist in an Indigenous matrix...[lhamana] cannot be reduced to a conventional set of gender roles or even modern transgender or genderqueer ones" - quote from Wikipedia page 'Lhamana'
It's important we celebrate other gnc identities throughout history as it helps once again, reiterate the statement that queer has always been here! Plus it's fun to learn!
