Wandering the trans-dimensional highway

Why I love my Hair Stylist

	I was about 10 minutes late getting there, but she called me to tell me she was running late too. I waited 10 more minutes on her, before she arrived. We hugged when she came in, and then we went to the back.
	On the way, two women were sitting talking, and as soon as we started walking back they got dead silent and just stared at us. I just smiled at them and kept walking, but I was shattered on the inside. After about 10 minutes I asked her if she was sure it was OK if I came to this salon.
I'd been going for months, and never had a problem. I think she either told someone she thought she could trust, and it spread like wildfire; or I wasn't looking my best one day and they could tell. Either way, I didn't really care. (I don't hide or deny who I am, she knows that, and if someone asks me about it I proudly tell them I'm trans. I just don't tell everyone I meet because I don't believe it's any of their business unless I tell them, and I don't like to make it the topic of every conversation. =P) I thought I was safe going there, though, and that it wouldn't be a problem. This is the conversation that followed:
Stylist:	What do you mean by OK?
	(I motioned her to come closer, and started whispering)
Me:	The two women who got really quiet and stared at us when we came in made me feel uncomfortable. I wasn't sure if...
	(She could see in my face how much it bothered me)
Stylist:	The client and other stylist we walked past?
	(I nodded)
Stylist:	Oh, don't worry about them. They're just REDNECK ASSHOLES!!! (Raising her voice on the "redneck assholes" part, to where they could hear)
Stylist:	It's OK, they looked at me too. They're just ignorant, and haven't seen pretty girls like us before!
	(I couldn't help but smile really big, and she was too)
Me:	OK, I was just making sure. I didn't want to cause any problems or anything.
Stylist:	You're fine darlin', I wouldn't work here if you weren't allowed to come here.
	She sat me in a dryer chair, turned it on, and walked off. After about 5 minutes she walked back past me with this look on her face, like she was super pissed. I'm not sure what happened, and I didn't ask. It was probably nothing, but I like to think she went to tell the other stylist off. =) Even if she didn't, what she said made me feel really good. =) Good enough to ask her to do something a little different with my hair! =)
Wow, it's People like her that give me hope, I haven't really had to deal with those sort of situations, mostly because I live in a pretty rural place and there aren't really a lot of services around. I just hope that I can find people like her to support me.:

Please Signal Boost! Queer Trans* Teen needs a Safe Place to Stay

dearjimmoriarty:

Eva needs a safe place to stay in Connecticut after being kicked out of squir house.

The few offers of space squee previously had have fallen through.

If you or someone you know is able to host squir until squee can get back on squir feet, please contact squir here.

Note: Since Eva is a minor, it would be safest for everyone involved for squee to stay in Connecticut due to laws on hosting people under 16.

Studies have shown, that, indeed, introverts are more likely than extroverts to express intimate facts about themselves online that their family and friends would be surprised to read, to say that they can express the “real me” online, and to spend more time in certain kinds of online discussions. They welcome the chance to communicate digitally. The same person who would never raise his hand in a lecture hall of two hundred people might blog to two thousand, or two million, without thinking twice. The same person who finds it difficult to introduce himself to strangers might establish a presence online and then extend those relationships into the real world.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts, by Susan Cain (via warukatta)

Describes me exactly, I got internet in my house around 14 yrs old and I almost immediately started connecting with trans people and coming out online, whereas I didn’t come out to anyone in my life until I was 18. I’m not an exhibitionist in any sense of the word and I’m still learning to be totally comfortable with my body around other people, but online I’m more than happy to post all sorts of pictures.

I seriously need to get back into reading those stories, one of my favorites is I believe the second one in there “The Statement of Randolph Carter” just because I read it late and night and it really freaked me out!!!

meganphntmgrl:

Okay, guys. I cannot believe I fucking have to do this, but this is kind of an emergency and I have NO OTHER OPTIONS.

I need money. Fast.

I just discovered that I’m being replaced in the job I announced that I wanted to eventually leave like, this week. I don’t even know if I’m being paid again, I have approximately $300, and hahahaha THIS IS A LIVE-IN JOB I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO FUCKING DO.

My PayPal address is meganphntmgrl@gmail.com, I will take ANYTHING THAT CAN BE GIVEN, I am scared as fuck and I don’t know what’s going to happen to me since I am 2500 miles from my family. I have a job interview on Thursday but THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEE, and I am legitimately struggling with some major suicidal ideation right now. Please, PLEASE help me.

I woke up this… well, early afternoon, and when I checked my email I’d received another $70 in donations. Holy crap. You people are awesome.

I’m feeling a little less on edge right now because I’m going to have TWO job interviews this week, possibly three, and it sounds like I might be able to at least stay in this house a little longer until I find a new position even if the money still dries up, but since I’m going to have to eat and stuff still (and I ain’t too proud to live on ramen and coffee), I will still accept anything that’s given.

You guys are amazing. Thank you all so much <3

Keeping up the signal boost! If I get a job/place to stay this week, I promise I’ll do the honest thing and make sure everybody knows I’m okay and don’t need any more donations.

Fuck Yeah, Trans* Pride: Announcement.

fuckyeahtranspride:

I started this blog on May 9th, out of a pure thought that Tumblr just NEEDED another transgender pride blog, not really expecting much to come out of it, and not even a month later, I’m about at 500 followers. This is all so overwhelming, and wonderful. I’ve come to meet some really wonderful people who have either followed or submitted, and I want to say THANK YOU! =D

It would mean a lot to me to get over that elusive 500 follower mark, so again, I’m asking for help.

Please, give me a signal boost, a shout out, a promotion, ANYTHING!

FOLLOW, and SUBMIT! =)

dead-men-talking replied to your photo: black-hole-waltz: I’m thinking about getting this…

A couple things: 1.) Where are you planning on putting it? 2.) Are you 100% sure it says what you want it to say?

I assume that black-hole-waltz (I don’t want to misgender because I don’t know how they identify) knows that that it says “Serenity” because it is the logo for the ship Serenity from the amazing show “Firefly”!!! That’s why I said to go for it because I’d love to get a “Serenity tattoo to immortalize my undying love for the show!!!
