ok ive said it before but i really really recommend to every american possible that you try to get on medicaid if youre below the poverty line. i see people on here all the time with donation posts whos lives could absolutely be changed by medicaid.

you might have to jump through a few hoops to make sure you have all the right documents but you can even get it while homeless. pretty much the only requirement is that youre below the poverty line.

you can apply with or without disability plus there’s a good number of medicaid providers out there that will even cover trans expenses.

its absolutely worth applying and if you qualify theres a ton of other benefits you can get on top of that like foodstamps and free cellphone service. just find out where your local assistance office is and ask them what they can do to help you it will change your life

If it helps, here’s the federal website:

How to Apply for Medicaid and CHIP | USAGov

Find out if you qualify for Medicaid, low cost or free healthcare for low income families or CHIP for children. Also, learn how you can file

usa.gov

Yeah, my Medicaid insurance has been genuinely great and covered a lot of stuff for my disability like blood work and specialist visits. Generally government programs are kind of shit and annoying but Medicaid is one of the good ones. I also highly recommend SNAP (food stamps) if you’re struggling to pay for food.

Yep, this, and absolutely also food stamps. If you’re unemployed or underemployed you’ll most likely quality, and it’s amazing. You get a certain amount per month on a card that you can swipe at grocery stores like a debit card. It usually covers all human food, snacks, drinks etc except hot pre-prepped stuff, restaurants, and alcohol. Really lifesaving. And you can apply online! Just google “[my state] food stamps” or “[my state] medicaid” and it’ll take you to the website to apply. And sometimes it’s the same application for both.

“queer spaces are for everyone but cis men! safe spaces include everyone but cis men!”

okay

1. that will require stealth trans men to out themselves in order to receive help
2. that will require closeted trans women to out themselves in order to receive help
3. that will require nonbinary people who don’t “"look nonbinary”“ because they look too masculine to out themselves in order to receive help
4. it will also alienate transfems & trans people who were AMAB who haven’t realized they’re trans yet from spaces that could provide them a safe place to explore gender & sexuality and be introduced to the idea of being trans
5. trans people are eventually going to get uncomfortable with your hatred for cis men, because people who were AMAB are gonna wonder if you secretly hate them for being "actually men” and trans mascs are gonna wonder if you hate them for being men at all
6. people attracted to cis men are going to feel uncomfortable when they try and bring up their love for men including cis men or bring their cis boyfriends/partners/friends to your spaces
7. there are cis queer men & queer men who blur the lines between cis and trans and they have just as much a right to queer spaces as you do
8. ^ intersex men also exist including intersex cis men
9. there is never going to be a group of people who it is alright to blindly hate just because of circumstances of their birth or identity and every time you try you are going to end up hurting people. embrace compassion and nuance

edit: to be clear, “cis queer men” includes gay cis men, bi cis men, aro & ace cis men, etc. etc. & cis queer men who are verifiably cis are still very much queer

You aren’t faking if some days you struggle less than others. You aren’t being overly dramatic if some days are worse than others.

It’s normal for things to fluctuate and you are equally valid whether it’s a good day or bad day or somewhere in between.

Writing porn just for the sake of porn is super valid actually.

Smut and PWPs aren’t a fandom problem that needs to be solved. They belong here. They’re basically the backbone of fandom. Stop with your scarily casual purification talk.

this whole mutual thing is overhyped on this site. want to send me an ask off anon? do it. want to tag me in a post? do it. follower, mutual, or just random person who stumbled across my blog: I crave interaction and literally do not mind.

for-your-modesty-dude:

you know what? fuck you. i think its cool to have no labels, or cool to have more labels then you have fingers, and cool to just say queer, or cool to say “queer but theres more i can explain if youd like”, and cool to say sapphic because you cant figure out if you id as a lesbian or bisexual, and cool to say youre asexual even if youd “fit into demisexual” more, and cool to introduce yourself as a trans guy even if youre also complicatedly nonbinary. its amazing no matter. youre all cool. im cool. yeah.

I should be less worried about seeming annoying. plenty of people are annoying and they all seem to be doing fine

just saw a post where someone put “detrans dni” and like… hey we should be supporting detransitioned people bc if we don’t terfs will

sometimes you’re wrong about your identity and that’s ok like i used to think i was bi but it turns out i was wrong and i know ppl who thought they were trans but it turns out they were wrong and it should be ok and accepted that sometimes people don’t get it right on the first try
