#transhealth
From TLC executive director Kris Hayashi:
Last week, as the House of Representatives passed President Trump’s dangerous bill undermining the Affordable Care Act, the President signed a so-called “religious liberty” Executive Order that attempts to chip away at the Constitution’s separation of church and state and encourages government agencies to discriminate.
Today is #givingtuesday & there is one week left of my trans health fundraiser. I’m having surgery on December 18th & the donations to this campaign will cover the costs of the procedure & aftercare. @ediefake reminds us that “Transgender people deserve healthcare, support, justice, safety, love.” Thanks to everyone for their contributions so far. I am very grateful for your support. Please keep sharing the campaign in its last week. #transhealth #transhealthcare #transsurgery

Next month, I will finally be getting trans-affirming surgery. I am doing a fundraiser to help cover the costs of surgery and recovery. Many artists and writers that I love and admire generously donated posters, books, broadsides, zines & more to help raise money. Having access to trans healthcare is an essential part of my liberation. Please support in whatever way you can, whether by sharing the campaign, donating, or taking care of the trans people in your own life, including yourself. Also, if any trans people have questions about navigating surgery, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned. The fundraiser only lasts 30 days and can be found at https://igg.me/at/hmelt. #transhealth #transhealthcare #transaffirmingsurgery #transcrowdfund #transsurgery #transcommunity #transfortrans #t4t

Your safety is our priority when it comes to HRT! There is, unfortunately, not a safe way to intake testosterone orally the way we do with estrogen tablets. We have a variety of other options such as gels, patches, and injections, each of them best fit for varying needs and journeys!

Approaching gender with a negative definition doesn’t work for all of us. Why define yourself by what you are not, instead of what you are? There is so much emphasis on gender dysphoria that it’s easy to forget that gender euphoria is just as vital and present for us.
If gender dysphoria is the dark cloud over our heads, gender euphoria is the sunbeams that warm our skin. It’s the rosy light inside us that we feel when we are seen and loved. It’s the invisible rainbow over our heads that glitters when we own our true selves.
What makes you feel most held and seen? Comment below—and head over to our blog (getplume.co/blog) to read more about euphoria, dysphoria, and everything in between!

You do not need to experience gender dysphoria in order to be trans! However, living within a gender binary system that denies and actively harms us for claiming our expansive identities can cause levels of psychological distress. It can be a feeling of distaste or disassociation from certain body parts, or it might cause you to dress in a particular way, to camouflage parts of your body you can’t stand or want others to see.
We want you to know that you are loved and valid in all the ways you exist. Not all of us experience the negative aspects of gender, but all of us deserve to know what it’s like to feel “right” in our bodies. You deserve a space to explore and experiment with names, pronouns, expressions, and modifications on your journey to find your own sense of home.
