I am 19-21 years old, Canadian, a witch, a furry, and ND! I love to write, draw, and play video games! I’m a big fan of fantasy and historical fiction, particularly the golden age of piracy stuff. I’m also into superheroes and mafia fiction!
But they’re slow!!
last year i filed for asylum on the mistaken impression that it would get me healthcare among other things. this system is built so everyone who enters it fails or dies. it's as bad as you've heard.
all of the work the government should be doing is outsourced to a single NGO which is made of like 10 people and entirely reliant on private donors. so no it isn't helping me get the medical tests i need and has no intentions of changing that.
i'm not allowed to work until possibly as late as mid-2026, and the cost of living in my city is increasing rapidly due to the local economy revolving around airbnb and tourism scams.
perhaps needless to say, i'm working hard in the coming months to keep my options open as i explore what to do next because i know i'm making important changes soon.
so i'll significantly scale back last month's goal, which we reached btw :)
make 2023 the year i get off tumblr welfare

Hey everyone! We need HELP
U
My family and I are a queer polyamorous group that are currently attempting to flee anti-trans violence in Texas! We had to sink a lot of money into getting approved for an apartment in New Mexico where we have at least a bit more protection and can still (at least barely) afford to live there! We are struggling to make the amount that we will need for our move-in date at the end of January
We have been priced out of the Austin area by rising gentrification, and my wife has terrified for her access to HRT and all of rail safety. A woman was arrested simply for being trans not an hour away from us very recently, and at least one asshat high up in the state government has been trying to get a list of every trans individual in the state by trying to find out who all changed their gender marker on their ID. This was blocked, but with the increasing anti-trans legislation it feels like it’s only a matter of time.

If you cannot support monetarily PLEASE share this post!! When I saw every bit helps, I really mean it. Even $10 could feed one of us on the road or get us another few miles further.
More context from my original twitter thread:
Similar story from a couple months ago: there’s lots of kids in this neighborhood, and mine like to go gadding about and making friends and they all go across the street to the park to play. One of the older kids that Eris bonded with comes over to our house sometimes, and very recently this kid rolls up to our front yard while we’re going some garden work and asks do I like their new hair cut?
Looks home done, like you know, buzzed it in the bathroom mirror with a pair of clippers, which is exactly what I’m rocking too, so I say yeah, looks great because I think it does. And the next thing this kid does is say with chin stuck in the air, “I’m trans, you know.” And I can see the look on his face, expecting the adult to challenge, push back, or scoff, or maybe just blink ignorantly and say “what’s that?”
I smile and say, “cool, brother, same hat.” And my god the way his face lit up. Absolutely beaming. We fist bumped and he started chattering at me full tilt, not even about anything to do with gender but just talking. Because in that moment he was safe to be himself. Since then he’s got a full wardrobe change and a binder so I very much hope his mom is also being supportive, but he still likes to pop by just to chat about whatever.
Protect our trans elders and protect our trans kids. You never fucking know where you’ll find them, and what kind of impact you’ll have.
[ID: a Twitter thread by Kivan @/KivaBay reading:
I just had the most incredible experience in front of my apartment building and I have to share it.
There’s a little old man who walks up and down the street and says hi if we’re out there smoking cigarettes. I was outside smoking and he was walking past and said “good afternoon young lady!”
And normally I’d probably be too scared to correct a stranger but he’d said hi before.
No I said “actually I’m not a young lady, I’m a man” and immediately got nervous and try to explain my high voice and, uh, tiddy. “I have a condition.”
And this little old man goes “oh are you transgender?” And having painted myself into a corner I say yes.
“Me too,” he says
And I realize this little old man is shorter than me. And he’s got suspenders and a cute hat (hello call-out post for my fashion sense). And he’s smiling so warmly.
I am meeting a trans man elder and I don’t even have a good bowtie on!! WTF Kivan!
And he called me brother and said he was honored to meet me and hugged me and just after everything with my dad I can’t even begin to put into words how much I needed to see a little old man I could grow to be.
I’m actually crying right now because I just really really need that.
You’re all great, let’s protect our trans elders, and grow up to be the good trans elders for those after us. /end ID]
the beautiful thing about being genderqueer is there are no rules. genderqueer doesn't have a "look". genderqueer doesn't have requirements. you don't have to be 50/50 masc and fem. you don't have to be masc or fem at all. you don't have to get surgeries or take hormones. you define your genderqueerness. one's genderqueer status is determined completely by who they are as a person, and i think that kicks so much ass.
genderqueer is an identity as well as a form of gender expression, and there is no right or wrong way to identify as OR present as genderqueer. don't ever let anyone tell you you are or are not genderqueer, because there are no requirements. the entire point is that there are no rules. be free, go nuts
