Take the U.S. trans survey (ends December 5)

Are you a binary or non-binary trans person aged 16 or above who lives in the United States or a U.S. territory? The U.S. trans survey is the biggest ever survey of trans folks in the U.S—providing an updated and expanded view of the experiences of transgender people across a wide range of areas, such as education, employment, family life, health, housing, and interactions with police and prisons.

>>This link takes you straight to the survey.<<

>>>Here's a FAQ<<<

Here's king Elliot telling you why it's really important to add your voice and experiences to the survey:

THIS IS OUR TIME: BE HEARD, BE COUNTED. 🏳️‍⚧️ The U.S. Trans Survey is the largest survey of trans people, by trans people, in the United States. The USTS documents the lives and experiences of trans and nonbinary people ages 16+ in the U.S. and U.S. territories. USTS reports have been a vital resource, including the reports on the experiences of people of color and reports by state. In 2015, nearly 28,000 people took the USTS. A lot has happened since then – and it’s time to conduct the USTS again in 2022. Help us continue to be the largest, most diverse sample across all identities. Please spread the word to ensure that people of color, older people, those who live in rural areas, immigrants, Spanish speakers, those who are HIV+, and others hear about the survey. More than ever, it's important to ensure that trans voices will shape the future. https://www.ustranssurvey.org/ - @transequalitynow #USTransSurvey #InstaGay #TransgenderPride #Genderqueer #Nonbinary https://www.instagram.com/p/CluiTaVpjWa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Experiencing gender differently than others around us can be daunting, and at times it might be hard to imagine how the future will be when so much is happening in the present. Sir Knight is a pillar of strength and beacon of hope in our community, not only as co-founder of BlackTransTV, but through his impactful work as a revolutionary, public speaker, and creator. He has been featured in Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, and Timeout Magazine, Viceland and HBO, and made history walking the runway for MarcoMarco, along with Kris Harrington at New York Fashion Week.

Sir speaks and advocates for people of color/difference with an extreme focus on the inclusion of Black and Brown queer and trans folks in the fight for human equality. Sir co-founded BTTV as a platform to gather, connect, uplift & inspire Black trans folks as well as to provide an educational tool for all people to learn about the Black trans experience. We lift up the profound impact of Sir’s message in supporting the all of warriors in our community.

The fact that I need to post this is breaking my heart. What is happening in America is tragic. The GOP is rolling back healthcare protections and allowing for employers to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community. This is a devastating blow to our community. Please, please VOTE this coming election. It is more important than ever!!! #vote #transequalitynow #lgbtqequality #lgbtqrights🌈 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcCkiUJi66/?igshid=11pe07wf8o0my

#Repost @humanrightscampaign ・・・ Thank you @USCG Commandant @admzukunft for standing strong with the talented, driven, and capable active duty trans service members who deserve the opportunity to continue serving the country they love. A trans military ban would cause great harm to the readiness, morale, retention, and recruitment of our forces at home and abroad and HRC is glad to see leaders stand up and speak out on this issue. #transequalitynow #transequality #trans #protecttranstroops #protecttransmilitary #lgbtq #transrightsarehumanrights #semperparatus #coastguard

I’ve noticed a pattern. When I’m pissed off at @realDonaldTrump (which is a lot) I try to channel my frustrations into creativity and make a shirt. We raised $462 for the @ACLU in the last couple of weeks with the #ShePersisted shirts. This newest shirt raises donations for @TheTrevorProject -- they focus on suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth. It is in response to the action #DonaldTrump took on 2/22/2017 rescinding the rights of transgender students that allow them to use the bathroom corresponding to their gender identity (read more in the #NewYorkTimes http://ow.ly/zV09309hADO). This is unacceptable. Transgender rights are human rights. All children and teens deserve to be in a learning environment free from bullying, harassment, and violence. They need to know they are worthy, accepted, and they belong. We can't leave them to fight alone. Protect trans boys Protect trans girls Protect gender non-conforming & non-binary kids Protect intersex kids #ProtectTransKids! You can find the shirt at Teespring here: https://teespring.com/protect-trans-kids-shirt #ProtectTransStudents #TheTrevorProject #TrevorProject #SuicidePrevention #TransYouth #TransgenderKids #TransKids #TransgenderRights #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQ #Trans #Equality #TransEqualityNow #LetThemPee #Education #Bathroom #HumanRights #CivilRights #Transphobia #Transphobic #NotMyPresident #Bigot #BloodOnYourHands #LGBTQRights #Tshirt #TransShirt #teespring (at United States)

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANS REPRESENTATION FROM JESSE DIAMOND

Introduce yourself!

I am a 29-year-old NASM certified personal trainer and transgender man. In a few weeks, I’ll be moving from Portland, Oregon to Virginia. I’ve participated in a lot of different sports, but right now I’m an avid, competitive powerlifter.

Do you plan on competing this year?

I plan on waiting at least until 2021 before I compete in powerlifting again. My first competition was in 2014, so it’ll feel good to be back on the platform again.

Who is your role model?

These are the transgender athletes that have really inspired me over the years.

Chloie Jonsson (@chlojonsson)

Schuyler Bailar ((pinkmataray))

Janae Kroczaleski (@janaemariekroc)

Kinnon Ross (@skinnin_kinnon)

Scott Percy (@fluffy757)

Tommy Murrell (@tommythetrainer78)

What's one of your favorite memories from growing up?

When I was 7 or 8 years old, my grandparents took my sister, our cousins, and I to the lake. I didn’t have a swimsuit with me, but my grandfather let me swim wearing only shorts. I didn’t know at the time, but the reason I was so happy was because I was experiencing gender euphoria. It felt so affirming to be able to swim shirtless.

How does your diet impact/support your training?

Because I’m a strength athlete, I typically maintain a high protein diet to optimize muscle recovery. I typically perform best when most of my calories are coming from whole, unprocessed, or minimally processed food sources.

Are there any black fitness entrepreneurs you’d like to promote?

Yes!

Tommy Murrell (pronouns he/him) is a NASM personal trainer with 8 different specialty certifications under his belt and a Bachelors degree in Physical Education. He is an Amateur Bodybuilder & Loves inspiring people to do their best. Tommy has worked with both cisgender and transgender clients with a variety of different fitness goals.

Ilya (pronouns he/they) is a Physical Therapist Assistant and Ace Certified Medical Exercise Specialist. He is also a grassroots organizer and educator whose work centers gender, racial and healing justice. Ilya decided to merge their love for restorative based movement practices and community advocacy to create Decolonizing Fitness, LLC which is a social justice platform that provides affirming fitness services, community education and apparel in support of body diversity.

As a trans athlete, what are your thoughts and opinions about competing in mainstream sports & competitions? Do you feel there is an unfair advantage?

I dream of a world where trans athletes have the freedom to compete in whatever sport and for whatever organization that they choose. Every athlete, regardless of their identity or how they were born, has their own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to competing. It feels unfair to penalize or exclude athletes based on gender identity or whatever medications they might take. I think it should be the responsibility of each competitive organization to write policies that promote inclusion within the sport.

What are your thoughts on trans men representation and the lack of it in many areas?

The lack of trans masculine representation in the media is one of the reasons why it took me so long to come out as transgender. But I think it’s so great that we now live in a time where some of us can be ambassadors to our community using social media. Not everyone has the privilege of being out, but those who do have that privilege can use their visibility to help educate others about us.

Why is it important for Trans Actors to play Trans Roles in Hollywood?

In my opinion, one of the problematic aspects of cisgender actors playing transgender roles is that it perpetuates the idea that we are “ just playing dress-up”. When a transgender woman is portrayed by a cisgender man dressed in women’s clothing, that’s the perception some cis folks get of trans people; that trans women are just cisgender men dressed up as women and trans men are just cisgender women dressed up as men. This way of thinking is invalidating to our identities. A lot of cisgender, heterosexual people won’t go out of their way to educate themselves about the LGBTQIA community. If cinema is one way we can reach those people, then trans folks should be the ones telling our own stories.

What are things you learned about yourself after you transitioned?

Transitioning has taught me about the importance of self-care and patience. Sometimes it feels like having a 2nd or 3rd job when you want to transition medically because it can be time-consuming, confusing, and stressful hard work. It can take weeks, months, or even years to figure out how to get the financial or insurance coverage for one’s transitional needs. You have to take care of your basic needs and learn how to be patient when it comes to physical transitioning, so I’ve learned to apply those skills to my everyday life.

Did you feel that you had to rediscover your personality as a man when you transitioned?

Yes, absolutely. Testosterone changes you so much physically and mentally; my perspective on a lot of things has changed and now I find myself processing emotions in different ways than I did before starting HRT.

How are you feeling after phalloplasty?

I’m feeling quite relieved now that the process is over. Even though I only had two surgeries performed, I’m content with my body and feel grateful to be fully healed. My surgeon, Dr. Jens Berli, did an amazing job.

Could you provide some advice for people that want to transition but are afraid to?

You’re not alone; I imagine just about every transgender person experiences some level of fear prior to coming out. We live in a world where trans people are constantly misunderstood and mistreated, but it’s a lot easier now to connect with other people in the community and to find resources for yourself than it has been in the past. It’s ok to be scared, but don’t be too afraid to ask for guidance when you need it.

How is your mental health going?

Lmao always a work in progress! I’ve been doing a lot better now that I’m fully recovered from my surgeries and have clearance to workout again.

One piece of advice that has followed you into your future?

Don’t be afraid to seek out help. Every day is an opportunity to learn and grow; it’s ok to utilize outside resources or to ask for help in order to reach your goals.

Can you please provide us a list of organizations that help Trans Communities?

@theokraproject

@blacktranstravelfund

@bravespacealliance

@transequalitynow

@transjusticefp

@pointofprideorg

Do you have a final message?

Tough times make tough people. Whatever you’re struggling with right now, one day you’ll be stronger because of it. Don’t give up on yourself.
