hello friendly trans english boy hitting you here. you may have seen that president trump is considering making the gender on your birth certificate UNCHANGEABLE from birth. meaning trans people cannot adjust the sex to their correct one.
this is a big risk for any trans person across the world but ESPECIALLY the ones in america. it creates problems with them going into their correct toilet (their gendered one), same-sex groupings on school trips, same-sex schooling and so many other things. this is a massive problem.
if you are of voting age PLEASE the trans community URGE you to vote against this law. a trans person should be able to adjust the sex on their birth certificate, it is a human right for EVERYONE of every single race or grouping to be accepted. this is discriminatory. keep trans rights in tact. help trans youth. they need you.
“Transgender people in Uruguay are celebrating after the country’s Congress passed a comprehensive trans law yesterday (18 October).
The law brings in a host of new rights for transgender people.
Most notably, trans people can now self-identify their gender and update their legal name, without approval from a judge.
The new law also creates scholarships for trans people to access education, as well as sets up affirmative action. It also now acknowledges the self-identification of non-binary people.
The reparations are effective of 1 January this year and affect anyone born before 31 December 1975.
The new law also requires government services to employ a minimum of 1% of the transgender population.
62 of 88 senators voted in favor of the new law.”

U.S. readers, register to vote here – in some states you can still register for the November election! This week shows how much we have to gain or lose depending on who gets in office.
[id: Tweet by @immissmajor reading “After 70 years I am here to tell you the system has always tried to break us. All us trans girls know we got to depend on each other and when enough of us bitches come together we can burn it down and use the ashes to build the motherfucking mansions we deserve! #stillfuckinghere”]
please consider donating to miss major’s retirement fund. it’s been up for 5 and a half YEARS and still isn’t ¾ raised
to any of my transgender followers feeling isolated with today’s news, i want you to know that this community, the LGBTQ community will not stand idly by and let this happen. i stand with all my trans brothers, sisters and siblings and i hope you know that you are so incredibly valid and nothing and no one can ever take your identity from you. i know it might not mean a lot coming from me, but please know that you cannot and will not be erased.
if you are feeling alone, please reach out to someone or call a helpline. if you are in the US, please call the trans lifeline or contact the trevor project via text/online if you can’t make the call.
to any cis people, we can’t let this happen. please do whatever you can to help out the community and if you are in the US, call your reps and ask them how they will support trans people.
hi, welcome to the united fucking states, how may we discriminate you?
Everyone needs to see this. We can’t just let them discriminate against us, we have rights and we should fight for them. Our government is actively trying to push down minorities and no one is talking about it. This affects me and many of my friends. This could affect you or a friend you have. Even if this doesnt affect you, SPREAD THIS INFORMATION AND BE AN ALLY. We’re not gonna live in a broken country where freedom and equality is preached but only certain groups have those rights to equality and liberty. We shouldn’t have to live in fear of what human right our government is gonna strip away from us next. Please spread this.
You cannot define people out of existence, it’s literally impossible. Legally you can take away our rights, but you will NOT take away who we are. We will identify ourselves however we choose, and your fucked up ideals will never take that away.
a bunch of moms are making letters+audio recordings of affirming, validating letters to queer/trans* people who don’t get that kind of support from their moms
i would say more about it but
im kind of busy in this puddle of tears on the floor so
In case any of my followers don’t have this kind of support from home…
