Hey guys, im reposting this since it's a new account, but essentially i live in a neglectful home, and im currently unemployed and im disabled (i have confirmed adhd, i also currently suspect i have ocd), and im therefore very poor and unable to afford basic necessities. I am very poor and unable to afford medical treatment or food or other things.
My mom doesnt take care of me at all (she has always been very neglectful of me), my family has mostly abandoned me and none of them help me. I live with them in the same house but they dont want to help me beyond that. They dont pay for my food or any other basic necessities. I cannot afford basic necessities like food or cookware on my own as i do not have an income without donations. Please help me. I need donations desperately. Please.
“Maintain yourself, find your community who loves you for you and who wants to celebrate you. Being yourself as you navigate the world in a way that’s safe and authentic and good to you is going to help in the long run. Know that you’re loved and supported, that time goes on and more people will see us for who we are as we continue to advocate for ourselves.” Aaron Philip
Google has removed two websites providing “DIY” hormone replacement therapy used in gender-affirming care from search results at the request of the UK government, according to legal letters viewed by 404 Media (@404mediaco).
Given how many trans folks rely on information acquisition via search engines, espeically early on in transition, because they allow natural language queries, increased restriction to information sets a concerning precedent.
Dr Manabi Bandopahyay became India’s first transgender college principal when she took up her post at Krishnagar Women’s College in 2015. She has often had to struggle for acceptance in her career but has succeeded nonetheless.
