PLEASE HELP TRANS WOMEN!!!!!!!!!
i love trans women so much but things are just so so bad for them right now so please god just do anything you can to be on their side!!!!!!!!
Small things you can do:
- Go to the store with them
- Go to the store FOR them
- Go with them to the bathrooms
- Help them pay a bill or buy their meds
- Give them hugs it might have been awhile since anyone’s hugged them
- Do the talking for them if they’re nervous (excuse me she asked for no pickles - not that that would ever happen)
- Be so supportive of them and normal about them in mixed company that other people feel self-conscious about being weird about them
- Kill their transphobic dads
- Buy them pizza
- Get to know them so well you can’t help but love and need them deeply and ask them to be your wife and protect and cherish them forever
- Correct your friends when they misgender a trans person who’s not around
- Give them art supplies or comic books
One more reblog to emphasise how serious i am:
When I first came out, I wasn’t comfortable in public. Tall, muscular, thinning hair, deep voice. I remember one night I spent like 2 hours getting ready so I could go get burgers from a place that didn’t do delivery but when I looked at myself in the mirror, I got so dysphoric I cried my makeup off. I went to Facebook and posted “I wanted to go for burgers at _____ but I guess Dysphoria wins today”
About 20 minutes later, i got a call from a coworker. “Hey I’m pulling up and parking now, what do you want?” And about 15 minutes later she arrived at my door with a bag of food.
She told me my outfit was cute and offered to take me places if I had errands i didn’t feel safe doing alone. I took her up in that twice.
Another cis coworker took me to torrid to buy my first cute underwear. Another cis coworker went with me to the courthouse to get my name change done.
It’s like, 1-2 hours out of your week and something we’ll remember forever.
