wow i have no idea where to find resources for trans women and for non-binary people looking to - what even is the phrasing - wear bras and stuff them and such things
i am pretty happy with my mind-body map right now but the whole controlling depth of chest as desired thing would be helped by knowing how the hell to do that

tavros is genderfluid
he first thinks about it when he realises that he wants to FLARP, but only women FLARP, right? And he figures out that it’s ok to be something other then a solid gender, that he can flow and be known as she and maybe she’ll wear brown ribbons on her horns or maybe he will wear a dress today and maybe she’ll practise lancing things
he’s protective of who...

August 23, 2009
In “If Men Could Menstruate,” Gloria Steinem makes the persuasive argument that “Whatever a ‘superior’ group has will be used to justify its superiority, and whatever an ‘inferior’ group has will be used to justify its plight.” For too long the definition of racism has been a fight between white and black manhood or “who’s the bigger man”, so to speak....

So I got my new binder
megannicoline:
This is me in my usual bra, note the 34D/32DD boobs.
And here is the binder, almost completely flat.
This thing is awesome. It is remarkably comfortable, too. Feels a bit like wearing a sports bra. I got it from Love Boat, this one (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=122&osCsid=57cc209b6d95c6c3efa2d87a2325b6c2)

FREE AND CHEAP DRUGS YA'LL

Hey Tumblr, if you’re poor, under-or-unemployed, and/or uninsured, you can probably get free drugs directly from the manufacturers.
Yeah, free. Like seriously all you pay for is maybe the doctor/nurse visit you’ll probably need to go to for the prescription.

Trans Sexuality - A Safe Sex Zine →

tobitastic:
Safe sex information is almost universally designed for non-trans (and straight) folks, and then that information is given to us when and where it applies. However, there is a lot of information that is unique to trans people and trans bodies that never gets included. This zine answers the question, what would sex ed look like if it was designed specifically for trans...

Last year, there was an outcry over a YA anthology that was prohibiting same-sex stories. There were a LOT of posts about it on the internet. There were a lot of authors who got up in arms and dropped out of not only that anthology, but an anthology being edited by the same editor, an anthology that I was writing for.
In the end, what ended up happening was that the anthology lost...

We’ve repurposed a forum we owned that went inactive, at the requests of some otherkin friends.

This includes plurals, otherkin, therians, trans*, transabled,...

Well, I think it’s probably more complicated than that.
People have said the same about transgender people: “it’s problematic because gender is just a social construct and it is suggesting that there is something real about gender difference”. But I think it’s just complicated. I am not transgender so I really don’t want to speak for gender identity, but I think there is a...

2. Be authentic, and give others the gift of the real you and a real relationship. Ask your real questions. Share your real beliefs. Go for your real dreams. Tell your truth.
