Both cofounders are antiblack racist to local Texas trans folk. Beware of them if your a black trans person.

Under The Umbrella RGV is racist.

M2F here. I have been shaving for my entire life since puberty. Within the last few months I noticed that the shaving quality doesn't satisfy me anymore.

Other hair destruction methods like laser or electro or waxing are out of question for the time being for several unrelated reasons.

Could you please recommend me the best shaving razor? Preferably the one where I can change razors and keep the main device. My hope os that it would leave zero (dead zero) length right after the shaving.

Thank you!

I found this good explainer from Gender Justice and wanted to share. Are there any similar resources you send people who are asking about trans people in sports (in good faith)?

i went to the secretary of state to get a license in the state i currently live in. they asked me if i wanted to change the gender marker on my license from F to M because, well, i look like a man and my license said F. im assigned female at birth but have transitioned and look 100% man. i said sure. they said do you want to do the selective service, and i asked if im required to since im changing my gender marker to M. they said “yes?…”, and ive had a long ass day and want to go home. so i did it. i just looked it up on google, and it says that selective service is based on gender assigned at birth and not current gender identity. was the worker misinformed? did i just sign up for something i thought was required, but isnt? can i become exempt from this, as im assigned female at birth and transgender? i thought the US military didnt want my ass anyways. thanks

My name is Patricia Black, and my wife Davina and I are proud members of the LGBT+ community in Indianapolis, Indiana. Recently, our state has become increasingly dangerous for transgender people, especially after the BMV’s new policy refusing to change gender markers, even with a judge’s approval. On July 2, 2026, I was rushed to the hospital with extreme heat exhaustion, verging on heat stroke, and am now in rehab receiving daily physical and occupational therapy. Our home had inadequate cooling, with air conditioners failing one by one, leaving us in unsafe conditions. Davina will not let me return to that house after almost losing me, so we are moving our cherished belongings into storage and staying in a budget hotel while I recover.

We are seeking support to::

1. Purchase a gently used Subaru Outback, which will make transfers from my wheelchair easier and help us relocate to Rochester, NY—a sanctuary city in the sanctuary State of New York, where Davina was born.
2. Funds will also help cover the costs of
3. a U-Haul trailer
4. Hotels,
5. food for the trip,
6.  survival expenses while we search for permanent housing.
7. Our income from SSDI and a caregiver stipend is not enough to cover these needs, and we have not been successful in finding emergency relocation grants so far. This is the hardest decision we’ve ever made, but our safety and well-being must come first.

Any help you can give means the world to us. Your support will help us find a safer, healthier place to call home and give us hope for a brighter future. Thank you for reading our story and considering a donation. If you cannot donate, Please share with others.

I will be getting fat grafting done on the 24th of this month on both sides of my chest. I have two big sunken in parts of my chest because the doctor who did my top surgery and messed up three times took too much fat and couldn't fix his mistakes (Don't go to Tobias Long in Reading PA). Has anyone else had deep sunken in parts of their chest fixed with fat grafting and does it work?

I grew up in a religious household where being trans was not accepted. I faced public humiliation from my mom, constant messaging that I was sinning, ridicule from family, and bullying at school. I was also heavily sheltered — raised to believe the outside world was evil and dangerous, that I could be harmed or killed. That fear shaped me deeply and is something I still carry today.

I was also an undiagnosed autistic person which made navigating relationships even harder.

In my 20s I moved across the country without telling my family — I told them I was going camping. I was afraid they would try to stop me. Around the same time I began transitioning and changed my name entirely.

My family found out through social media. My mom reached out saying they would have supported me, but when I visited it was a painful experience of misgendering and deadnaming in public — the same humiliation I'd experienced as a child. We argued and stopped speaking. She passed away before we reconciled.

After she died the rest of my family became distant and I didn't understand why until recently. My sister finally told me that leaving without saying goodbye and changing my last name made the family feel abandoned and hurt.

I've been carrying guilt about this for a long time. I had no idea how much it hurt them — I was just trying to survive and find freedom. I've since apologized and my sister and I are on better terms.

I've realized that leaving quietly has become my pattern — in abusive relationships and difficult situations since then. I think it comes from a lifetime of not feeling safe enough to be direct. I'm working on understanding that about myself.

Was I wrong to leave the way I did? Does protecting yourself from people who've hurt you make you a bad person? I'd love to hear from others who've navigated similar situations with family and found a way through.

How do I use this app I wanna meet some

So I am coming to Transfest in Provincetown. But there’s barely anything about this festival on social media. It makes me feel like it’s not a real thing and I’m getting scammed. Has anyone actually been to this?
