I’ve met Shatzi Weisberger at countless protests over the past 4 years. She’s fought injustice for decades and you should check out her fantastic protest signs if you haven’t already. It was just announced that she has a terminal illness. Now, she needs your support during the final stage of her life. She is a treasure and deserves all the care in the world. You can donate to her hospice fundraiser here.

hi, hello, hey there, i’m elio:)
i’m a queer trans guy of color and i’ve been struggling with money recently (as in can barely afford food kind of struggling), so, if you like gay fiction and have 5 bucks to spare, you can commission any short story you’d like, be that sfw or nsfw* (the price might go up if you want a longer work). you will receive it as soon as possible, which honestly probably means within 24 hours.
in other ‘news’, i’ll also be selling my 25 pound gc2b gift card for 20-22 pounds. you can use it in the uk/international store (it hasn’t been used at all, btw)
if you are interested in either or have questions, send me a message:)
regardless, thank you for taking the time to read this and it’d be amazing if you could help me spread the post, i’d appreciate that a lot:)
have an awesome day, stay hydrated<3
*don’t forget you have to be 18+ for nsfw content
My dear lgbt+ kids,
Did you know „conversion therapy“ is still not banned in most European countries?
Conversion therapy describes cruel, abusive attempts to force someone to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. It has been proven to not only not work but also cause lasting damage and trauma and greatly increase suicide risks. The United Nations has qualified it as what it is: torture.
This official petition is calling on the European Commission to do three important things:
Ban conversion practices across the EU – by proposing a new law or strengthening existing ones.
Protect victims – by updating victim rights laws so survivors get the support they deserve.
Make sure all EU countries act – either by introducing a ban or improving weak laws.
SIGN THE PETITION HERE
They need 1 million signatures from EU citizens by tomorrow (May 17, 2025) to make the EU act. This is not just a symbolic number! If they reach that number, the European Commission is legally required to respond and consider turning it into law.
At the time of writing this, they have reached 915,945 signatures.
If you’re from Europe, please consider signing (it’s easy and safe). If you’re not from Europe, please consider sharing!
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
I don't care what nationality you are. US, UK, French, German, anyone in Europe, please do me the grandest of favours and spread this around. Steal the link, make your own post, I don't care; just get it to the eyes of your viewers because if they're Canadian, I need your help.
This petition ends May 26th 2023:
What is this about?
"Whereas:
The world is becoming increasingly hostile to transgender and nonbinary individuals;
Transgender and nonbinary people's rights to live as themselves are being restricted and removed in many places;
This includes the so-called "Western democracies" which have historically been presumed safe;
The United Kingdom is revising their Equality Act to exclude trans people from its protections;
More than a dozen American states have enacted or are considering legislation eliminating or criminalizing gender-affirming care; and
Canada has prided itself on being an inclusive, tolerant, and welcoming society for everyone regardless of gender identity or gender expression.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to extend to transgender and nonbinary people the right to claim asylum in Canada by reason of eliminationist laws in their home countries, whatever country that may be."
It's better to give people an exit plan, and just hope they won't need it, then to do nothing and assume they'll be fine. Help us keep making Canada a positive place for everyone. I hope you'll sign if you're Canadian, and if you're not, I hope you'll help us make some positivity by sharing this around.
I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it
Trans rights are human rights
Brianna Ghey was a 16 year old trans girl who was murdered on Saturday 11 February 2023 in the UK.
and as you can imagine, there are some dickheads who are dismissing this tragedy, cheering on this crime, and celebrating at this loss of life BECAUSE Brianna was trans.
this is what transphobia leads to. this is what happens when irrational hate for trans people, because these bigots seem to forget that we are PEOPLE, remains prevalent in wider society. this is what happens when the basic human right to live as happily and healthily as possible is discarded and overstepped for the sake of remaining in the repressive and oppressive status quo that benefits no one but the privileged.
you lose the ability to see other people as people. you lose your humanity, all for a moment of feeling superior over someone whose life is different to your own.
you can donate to a verified gofundme for Brianna's family here
but to every bastard who doesn't see an issue with her murder because she was trans, i hope you choke on a chainsaw.
transition according to your own needs, and create your own transition timeline. you are not transitioning "wrong" or "late" if you come out later in life, or if you are not out or on hormones by your 20's. you are allowed to take time and assess which parts of transition suit you, and which don't. it's okay to take it slowly if you want to, it's okay to take actual years to make decisions.
it's okay to also move quickly through transition, as long as you know it's right for you, and you've done research into how it can affect your long term health, if you are choosing HRT and other medical avenues of transition. for some people, the dysphoria is so unbearable they have to get their hands on HRT as soon as possible or they may not make it to the other steps of their transition. this is okay, too, just be sure to practice as many harm reduction practices are you are possibly capable of doing- avoiding frequent binding while your body is still growing can help you in the long run, for example.
regardless, it's okay to transition at any rate or pace, you're not transitioning "too late" if you transition in your late 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and beyond. it's okay to admit you feel trans if you're very, very young, it doesn't mean you'll "grow out of it"- there is no order to the steps in which you need to take to make yourself comfortable- it doesn't matter if you start by diving HRT first after doing research on how it will affect you, or start by switching pronouns and working your way up. transition how it feels right for you.
Happy Trans Day if Visibility!!! Please help a black trans person survive today!! I’m not getting many hours at work! Anything helps :))

Not a dream
I signed a new contract and it takes a while for it to be processed so I have been without paycheck for 47 days and I feel like Mr. Struggle
At least I have cans and crackers at home, so I am not starving, so that's good
