Master list.

So glad to see us on this, thanks! :)

Master list of all the "our __ experience" lgbtq+ blogs

These are all the active and inclusive/friendly queer blogs I could find. If I listed any that are exclusionist or otherwise bad or are just inactive, please let me know so I can remove them. This list is intended to help queer people find active and inviting communities to participate in and feel safe in. If you know more feel free to add them in the reblogs and/or tell me them so I can add them. Please spread this around, I worked very hard on compiling this list, and this may help people find the community for them here on Tumblr.

I wanted to share some good news :D

Germany will allow anyone to change their legal gender (THEY EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE NON-BINARY AS A LEGAL GENDER) after November 1st and they made it easier to get gender affirming treatments!

I sadly don't currently live in Germany, but its neighbour country, Austria. Our laws are like the old German laws, very convoluted. I have to talk to 3 different mental health professionals, one of them for 6 months (which takes an eternity).

BUT! I might get the chance to move to Germany when I start going to university in 2 years and get treatment there :)

German prescriptions carry over to Austria, so there is a high likelyhood I could bypass the entire nonsense of our current system B)

Doing it the legal way in Austria would require me to convince both of my parents, get put on waiting lists and a whole lot of other stuff I do not want to do and would probably actually take longer than just moving to Germany.

There is also the chance that we just straight up copy Germany's laws (which is what I am really really hoping for) which would make my life sooo much easier.

Conclusion: WE ARE SO BACK AND THERE IS HOPE!

(this turned into somewhat of a ramble midway through. sorry for that)

-Ray

Hey kiddo!!! That's amazing!!!!! I hadn't heard that news about Germany but you're so right, there is hope! There's always hope, and it's really heart warming to see positive news and progress!

I really hope you get your goals, and I am so incredibly proud of you. I hope you have an amazing day- and please don't apologise for rambling! I love hearing from people, and my inbox is always open to your rambles!

The Cass Review demanded clinicians perform child abuse (placebo HRT and conversion therapy) for acceptable studies on transgender children. As someone studying trans research (who was also a trans kid), I'm disgusted. We must reject all calls for abuse in gender medicine. We have 100+ years showing that HRT works!

If your review cites Lisa Littman & Kenneth Zucker as legitimate sources in 2024, you have no authority to speak about trans issues OR evidence-based medicine. Their studies have been so thoroughly debunked that they're a great example of using weak evidence to draw conclusions.

hi! I'm a genderfluid demigirl(I think, I'm still figuring it out) and I'm trying to pick out a new name to possibly go by. I've thought about it beforeee but I've always ended just going with my given name bc I just kept coming back to the conclusion I was a girl(I'm afab) but now I'm starting to accept that I'm genderfluid and a demi girl who uses all pronouns but mainly prefers she/they(it's hard but I'm getting there :D) and I'm wondering what to change my name to! I have ideas, like Nova, Riley, and Lennox which are still kinda binary names/girly names, but they sorta feel right, even if I felt more masc that day! I just wanted to ask and see which one you thought was nice! :) or maybe do you have any more androgynous name ideas?

Hi my beautiful-gendered person <3

Those names are all really awesome! I think my favourite is Nova, but all three are brilliant. If you are looking for more gender neutral names, I recommend nature names as they aren't normally gendered and there are some pretty cool ones. In the end, it's just whichever one makes you feel most comfortable. Happy name choosing!

more of a serious question, but I was doom scrolling on TikTok, and there was this person (thetruthaboutwo) and after watching several pretty eugh videos, I have a question

so, I fall under the trans umbrella. I use neos and they/them. I do not care if you put me under the trans umbrella or not and say i'm something else or whatever. but, because i'm not ftm or mtf, I have a question

Do you need to have dysphoria to be valid? is saying "if someone says they're trans, then they're trans" a harmful thing to say?

Hi my funky-gendered individual!

No, you don't need binary dysphoria, or any dysphoria to be trans, you are trans if that's how you choose to label yourself, but no one can put a label on you or take it away from you.

Some trans people (binary or not) experience no/hardly any dysphoria and others experience loads, and that's ok.

Oh btw neos are awesome, are there any you prefer to others? And pleaseee stop doom scrolling <3

uh. hello.

i'm a trans guy living in france, but i'm moving to california in august. this means a whole new school. new people to be around. it was already kind of hard to properly transition at my school here, but having to do it at a whole new place sounds complicated and i'm not sure how to go about it, especially what with my mother not being the most accepting and all. should i send in an email before the next school year starts? should i let them deadname me and then have to talk to every single teacher at the end of each class to explain? and about blending in. i'm not sure how i can do that, either, but that'd probably be unrealistic.

anyway. good to meet you. have a nice day.

-🫀🍰 (he/him)

Hi there :)

It's hard to know how to go about this one. It really depends on how unaccepting your mum is. The good news is that california is legally accepting, so not the worst place to move to as a trans youth.

Try and check whether your mother will email the school, if not, try and email the school yourself as long as you feel safe enough to do so. Good luck with moving and hope it goes well for you <3

Sorry for the vent but it’s so hard wanting to date as a gay trans man pre everything

I present femininely because my parents don’t approve of my transness but I’m out at school, and I want to date but the other transmascs around me are either younger or already dating someone. I know that even when I introduce myself with my pronouns and say outright hey I’m a trans guy, people still end up reverting to she/her.

I don’t want to date anyone who’s only attracted to me because they think I’m a girl, and it’s all just ugh. I hate it here

-Alex

Hi Alex,

I'm aroace myself, so probably not the best guy to give advice about this. That being said, I'd recommend checking out @punkspacepirate's blog.

teenage trans guy here with a burning question (btw crazy ive never seen a blog like this before. you are doing wonders)

what should i resort to for binding if :

a) i have rib damage and breathing problems due to my inexperience binding and lack of research

b) have tried transtape with terrible results

c) physically cant bind with sports bras due to previously mentioned lung issues

i cant afford top surgery. im not even out to my family as a trans man, and i know i dont have to bind to be able to pass but its getting increasingly harder to be in public and pass as a man. thanks for your help if you end up responding to this 🏳️‍⚧️

Hey there dude, welcome and thanks for your support. I try and get through all of my asks, but I am doing full-time school at the same time too, so sorry for any delay in responding. Since you seem to have not seen many of these style of blogs, I'd recommend @our-transgender-experiences @our-transmasculine-experience @our-trans-punk-experience and @our-queer-experience .

This is a difficult ask and first let me take a moment to warn people against unsafe binding because of this.

Now for my advice to you - don't double down on the bad binding practices - no duct tape I REPEAT NO DUCT TAPE - I suggest trying to create an overall boxier, angular less curvy silhouette - this can be done by working out, particularly chest and other upper body exercises - or by layering clothes that have structured fronts (tshirts with large laminated design panels, utility vests, jackets with big chest pockets) Also, I wouldn't completely write trans tape off, it's a skill you can get better at with a little practice :)

it honestly feels kind of like my whole life is on pause while i’m waiting to be able to transition medically. like i’m kind of just… waiting. for my life to start again until i’ve finally transitioned. is that a common trans thing??

Yeah, I get that. It can suck having to wait a few years to be happy in your body and to feel like yourself, but it will come.

In the meantime, try to express yourself as much as you can by socially transitioning, for example getting new clothes or a gender affirming haircut. Stay safe out there, you'll be able to medically transition soon I promise! <3

Can you give me some advice as I'm questioning my gender yet again.

So basically, I'm an AFAB teenager, and up until about 8 I went with girl [and was very feminine], then 8 til around a year or two ago, I didn't really care cause it just didn't matter to me. Then I identified as demigirl, then genderfluid, and now nonbinary, and I was just considering starting to use he/they pronouns when I started to get stressed about gender. I feel dysphoria sometimes, and I was so upset when I got my period and stuff, though I don't know if that was just not wanting to grow up. I don' understand women, or why you'd want to be one, but occasionally I feel more fem, but I don't want to be a girl. If I could have been born a boy I would've, and if I ever think into the future, I'm only happy if I think of being a man. Sometimes i don't feel dysphoric saying 'I am a woman' and sometimes [usually] that feels so wrong and stresses me out. IDK,I'll probably just stick to being non-binary, but I also want to be a man, and I wish that I'd been born one. Also,i've been quite depressed lately, and I've hated myself since I was 11, however, because I only started questioning my gender a year or two later,it can't really be connected to that, can it?

Hope you're doing good, and thank you for taking the time to do this.👍

Hey there anon, thanks for sharing your experience!

I don't know your brain so I can't tell you a specific label, but I can try give you some possibilities. From what I've understood, you are NOT a girl but occasionally feel more feminine, you feel non binary and also male at the same time.

Have you heard of bigender before? One of my friends is a bigender guy, meaning that he has two genders (male and non-binary).

Another one of my friends is aboy (agender boy) which means that it doesn't have a gender but wants to be perceived as a boy.

You could be a demiboy (someone who partially identifies as a boy), or genderfaun (fluid between multiple genders, but never female/feminine)

Or you might be like me! I'm a transmasc person. This means that I am a very masculine non-binary person, but not male. I use masculine and neutral terms, but obviously that is completely up to you.

About your period, being upset about your period definitely counts as dysphoria, you are not just afraid of growing up. If having a menstrual cycle becomes too distressing for you and you are in a situation that allows you to do so, I'd recommend that you look into ways to stop your period.

Hope this all helps a little, happy gender hunting!

howdy! I have a question. So, I recently discovered I was non-binary, and using she/they wasn't cutting it anymore.

I use they/them, but also neopronouns? I just hate binary pronouns (she/her and he/him). is there a name for this?

As well, I am comfortable with the terms "girlfriend" (romantically)

and "madame" and "sir". but really that's it for more "binary" terms. is this still being non-binary?

I'm not sure about terms, but I think you could say that you use they/(any) neos. I'd recommend having a look at some terms like aporagender, neutrois, maverique, xenogender, outherine, transneutral, and agender if you are interested :) But yes, as long as your experience of gender is outside of the traditional gender binary, then you are under the nonbinary umbrella. Hope this helps and if anyone knows more about this, please let me know <3
