Lament of the Mind

espanya:

since it is trans day of visibility, we should do more than just post selfies (and essentially copy blackout). today i will try to be posting resources, history, and transition stories. there’s nothing wrong with posting some selfies today, but please don’t make that the only thing we do today— this is a very important day, and is more than just selfies. blackout was a celebration of beauty our society often deems unworthy; trans day of visibility should be about making our community, history, and siblings known. 

a small list of resources for the moment: 

• trans people who are in a serious situation, such as being suicidal, or being abused, etc. can contact the trevor project. they have a lifeline that is 1-866-488-7386 and an online chat room.
  
• the trans 100 is a list provided by GLAAD of inspiring trans americans.
• we happy trans is a website that provides happy trans stories!
• a longer list of resources from GLAAD can be found here
• trans housing network
• mermaids.org.uk is a website that provides individual and family support for young people with differing gender identities. 
• trans law center (TLC)
• Trans Youth Family Allies
• gender justice league ( specifically for advocating for gender equality within the LGBT+ community)

i will try to have more soon!! including stuff to good places to get things like binders and breast foams, clothes, make up, etc.
