*** MUTUAL AID REQUEST ***

:boost_request:

Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch and I need your help!

If you want to help out a trans person who is struggling, your help would be greatly appreciated. I am a disabled trans nonbinary individual, and I can't work due to chronic illness.

I'm still working on disability and trying to get SSI, but because the US government is in such chaos, stuff's not happening as fast as I would like, so mutual aid is my lifeline till things start moving again. Help is greatly appreciated.

and it's a little bit...we can be out here for #TransDayOfVisibility because honestly? trans people should be visible every day

so just know you've got a big buff (i'm not usually this buff) pantheress mom or aunt watching over you.

and that I love you.

octo got nothing on #TransDayOfVisibility but a report on her first mutual aid post she managed to make in an entire month. it's clear how badly people would rather her dead. octo is in debt from not meeting the last 3 months goals. she can't afford to eat & is battling suicidal ideation. she wants to live & escape abuse. there's nothing wrong with needing support in a society that murders people like her. please give her the flowers she deserves.

Kopfschmerzbedingt bestand mein Trans day of visibility gestern nur daraus, dass ich bei der Lohnarbeit einen trans Pride Pin an der Mütze hatte und einen Pulli mit einem Aufdruck einer Blume und der Aufschrift "Be brave, be kind, be true, be you", alles in den Farben der trans Flagge. Übersetzt heißt der Aufdruck "Sei mutig, sei nett, sei echt, sei du"
Mir ist es wichtig, im Alltag als transfeminine Person sichtbar zu sein. Grade bei der Lohnarbeit bin ich viel im ländlichen Raum in Sachsen und Thüringen unterwegs. Hier bin ich für viele meiner Kund*innen wahrscheinlich die einzige trans Person, mit der sie zu tun haben. Und wenn sie durch mich merken, dass wir auch einfach nur Menschen sind, die ihr Leben leben wollen, und nicht so, wie wir in Comedy Serien und Filmen dargestellt werden, hilft das vielleicht, Transfeindlichkeit in der Gesellschaft abzubauen. Meiner Erfahrung nach kommt Transfeindlichkeit oft auch einfach durch Unwissenheit, schädliche Darstellung in den Medien und dadurch, dass es einfach das Unbekannte ist, womit eins im Alltag nichts zu tun hat.
Ich bin sichtbar und nehme auch alle Risiken und Gefahren bewusst in Kauf, damit es die nachfolgenden Generationen ein bisschen leichter haben :neocat_flag_trans:

I posted to meow.social about this for TDOV already, but to no avail.

I'm a (literally)starving nonbinary shitposter and occasional artist who recently got out of the psychiatric hospital and I need money if I don't want to end up back in there. I have no income, and no money saved up, and my life is getting increasingly difficult

Bonus: If you have a fursona and donate $5 or more I'll try using them for anatomy practice. No guarantees on when though, and they have to be kinda simple

Trans people exist at the nexus of life-avenues that these three things feel safe targeting.

That's it! That's all we did! It's fucking incidental that we're treated bad -- it is nothing to do with what we are -- it isn't earned.

I don't feel able to be visibly trans in Georgia, because these three things exist here. Both in the Georgian culture, and in the growing negative influence from Russia, a really sick society.

This was also identically true in America. It's both an internal problem, and an externally-influenced one. Machismo-religion-misery. They've all got to be addressed, because they influence and exacerbate each other.

Absent of these three social pressures, trans people are beautiful, normal people. And living a fun and meaning-filled life is completely probable.

Machismo can be met with the visibility and activism of those whose circumstances give them the ability to stand up for DEI, "modern culture", progressivism, and human equality. Loudly, often, and shamelessly.

Religion needs to be kept in check with a respect for the scientific reality of diversity, and how this huge world is still revealing so much to us.

Misery can be addressed with things like UBI, compassionate discourse (all of us need to do this), and cultivating some self-respect as a society.

Trans people are full of these energies. Whether we are out and visible, or working on things in solitude, we are HERE and we are so necessary for the future.

The three poisons I see across the cultures I've been in:

Male machismo -- it looks different in different parts of the world, but boils down to a terrified, insecure pecking order among men that looks (to an outsider) like weakness.

Religion -- when it's the most potent identity-facet a person can access, boy do they cling to it like a life preserver. They do whatever it says. And want to bash whatever it prohibits. It's like a kid trying over-hard to prove themselves to a stern parent.

Misery -- most people don't have the intestinal fortitude to keep from passing on to others the shitty feelings that a hard life fills them with. Average people do this by toying with the oppressed, in the coward's manner of "as much as they can get away with." And the powerful do this by treating everyone else like contemptible toys. It spreads, and becomes a social contagion, then a plague, then a rot at the heart of a culture.

Bit late to Trans Day of Visibility.

It feels weird this year, because while I'm technically a whole lot safer than I was in a blood-red corner of America last year, I'm still currently sitting in a city where being openly trans (or gay) is just...not done.

I'm no expert about this place, but there is a cultural comparison to America that is somewhat illuminating.
