Using taxpayer money to house the homeless is considered tyranny.

Using taxpayer money to terrorize the homeless is considered freedom.

It clearly has nothing to do with taxpayer money or freedom.

“Faith, what was the hardest part of your journey to getting housed?”

From this excellent webinar I attended a few months back on the challenges unhoused people face in their struggles to become permanently housed.

Sorry, and the reason I thought of this webinar was because of Frank here:

"Why dont they just get a job?"

Because some fucking cop probably threw out everything they need anyway. Why don't You shut the fuck up.

IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS:

A tweet reading, “Most people don’t know this, but to deal with homeless encampments, our cities have cops go rip the homeless out of their tents, throw all their stuff away, and arrest anyone who doesn’t move. Part of defunding the police means no longer trying to use cops to solve homelessness.”

gifset of an older person with glasses and brown hair captioned “Faith Kearns, Phoenix resident,” answering the question “Faith, What was the hardest part of your journey to getting housed?” She is saying, “Being told I was a piece of shit from the cops. And I wouldn’t amount to anything. Obviously they were wrong.”

Gifset of an older man with gray beard and long gray hair captioned “Faith Urban, Walking Dead Fan;” he is saying, “I’ve had the police steal my ID, my social security card...birth certificates, hygiene stuff, tents, blankets, basically anything the homeless need on the streets to stay warm and somewhat safe.” / end ID

It’s not quite a transcript, but here’s the main points:

  • BetterHelp is selling your mental health information to pinterest, snapchat and facebook.
  • BetterHelp is paying its therapists very little - including getting paid per word WITH A CAP. At some point they stop paying for another word. Which puts a therapist in a bind: should they keep doing their work for free or should they withdraw support from someone that needs it?
  • BetterHelp is creating the expectation that help is available at all time. Which sounds great, but one of the points of therapy is to create self-reliance. Also: therapists need boundaries too!
  • BetterHelp is funded by billionaires and millionaires who care primarily about turning a profit for their investors. Not about the therapists. Or the patients/clients.

So: do not use Better Help, but look for another source.

hiya! I figured id make an informational post about the little things ive noticed about being on testosterone that I found weren’t talked about a lot when I was starting my transition and even before when I was doing my research. I think that trans sexual health is an extremely important part of trans peoples lives (and that doesnt necessarily mean sex) seeing as the physical changes that happen during transition are often foreign to us. Sexual health keeps us healthy and comfortable in our bodies, so do your best to stay attentive to your body’s changes! As always, consult your doctor if you feel the need to. These are only tips ive learned from transitioning myself and from my doctor when I asked about certain things.

Fucking tumblr our here really trying to teach the world things

Hey this isn’t necessarily something for HRT. But rather for top surgery for those considering it, most every surgeon and endocrinologist I’ve met (save for the ones I’m working with currently) doesn’t mention this and trans dudes who have gone through top surgery sometimes don’t even know about it, but your ti🅱️🅱️ies? They make hormones. Lots of them. When you get top surgery you’re removing a primary maker of hormones from your body and it’ll throw you through a loop, and for anywhere from a few days to a couple months after the surgery your hormones are gonna be WACK. This will usually cause a post-surgery depression that a lot of trans men sometimes confuse with regret for taking this step in their transition and it’ll throw them into an identity crisis, so for those planning on taking that step, just remember that weird ass sadness you’re gonna feel is just your hormones being like “hey wHAT the FUCK” and you made the right decision for you!!

Can confirm that bottom growth is a real and painful thing. If you’re the kind of person who wears skinny jeans regularly (looking at u fashionable goth/punk trans ppl), here’s a tip for your first few months of T: don’t.

Bottom growth will be overly sensitive and stick out of the hood more than usual, and anytime the inside of ur jeans rubs against it it will a) hurt and b) make u horny.

This can be a problem in general, but especially if u have bottom dysphoria and being reminded of ur junk can make u dysphoric, and/or if ur ace like me and being horny can be a very confusing and annoying experience (I know this is not every aces experience but I had never really had a sex drive or arousal before T and it was very distressing at first. Still ace tho)

Also re: top surgery, the first time I saw my chest post-op my brain flipped and I got so dizzy I nearly passed out. This is also relatively normal and okay. I think my brain just kind of freaked out seeing my body so different from what we were used to and also oh yeah with a big scar running across it. Its okay, that doesn’t mean you regret it either. I think sometimes ur brain just needs a minute to catch up and realize ‘oh wait this isn’t a traumatic injury this is what my chest is supposed to look like’. Once I had seen my chest a few times and let my brain get used to it I was absolutely thrilled and loved it (and still do). I also had a panic attack the night before my surgery because I was afraid of the anesthesia. Again, doesnt mean I made the wrong decision.

I think a lot of trans ppl don’t know that surgery can just be an emotionally intense experience, and yeah can also mess with ur hormones a bit (another consequence of both hormonal stuff and the stress of surgery is I got really bad acne for awhile after surgery) and so you might feel all kinds of weird or stressed directly before or after. It’s okay. Make sure u have supportive ppl around u to take care of u, and wait until ur body has had a bit of time to heal and renormalize before u start panicing over if u made the right choice or not. You’ll probably be sleeping for most of the first week anyway. Give ur body and ur nerves a break for a bit.
