Hey! I just discovered your blog! I’m a trans guy and my biggest frustration right now is not being able to go on HRT because I’m unable to afford it myself (as a broke college student) and still covered by my unsupportive parents as far as insurance goes. Even though I’m an adult, I feel trapped by them because of it.
It’s the hardest waiting game. I’m supposed to be making the most of myself in college, but it’s so difficult when I can’t be the person I want to be. I would love any affirmations at all for this. Thank you so much. Love what you do <3
hey! as a trans man myself, i understand that perspective wholeheartedly. do your best to act as you are, for who you are! you're awesome sauce regardless of the body you're in, and you're still wonderfully masculine, even if not externally. i know hrt seems like a long wait, but it'll be worth getting there for sure. you're handsome! fuck anyone who tries to tell you you aren't you, only you can decide who you are. time will bring good, and you can get through this chapter! the end is worth the process, and in the mean time, you are still a wonderful, handsome man, who deserves a place in this world

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

for all my smokin hot transfemmes, and everyone else who enjoys a touch of the zaza
[image id: a greyish watercolour background. in black line art, reminiscent of lino prints, a girl with a rabbit head with two earrings and an eyebrow piercing, stares lovingly at the zoot in her hand producing a heart shaped cloud of smoke. she wears a crystal necklace, underwear with a cute heart, and harlequin checked socks with frills. her heart shaped nips and navel are pierced, and she has a cute chubby build. she sits cross legged, and in the top left block capitals read ‘TRANS SELF LOVE IS RADICAL’. end image id]

don’t be scared to live lovingly. compliment your friends on the little things and cheer for live bands in small cafes and leave tips when you can. tell the person you saw that you really like their shirt and write cards and letters to the people you love. make playlists for people and don’t be afraid to express your appreciation for others. life is so much better when you live it with love.
