We are at $13/60 for the first appointment

My first therapy appointment is set for TOMORROW at 1pm, and you can help me finally have queer/neurodivergent/trauma friendly and understanding therapy and mental health care.

Can you chip in just a little bit? https://ko-fi.com/kitcaelsto

Me: and in an abusive work situation that I'm trying to escape. (Having good mental health will help with this as I find self-employment) Thank you so much!

Content warning Beta requested for paranormal erotic romance with transmasc hero

I just want to clarify first that people can absolutely use whatever terms/labels that fit best for them, and that definitions of said terms/labels can vary from person to person and that's totally fine - so if anyone reads this who has a different experience or definition to what I'm about to say, that's completely valid!

So what do people define as gender nonconforming, particularly in regards to trans people and transitioning?

I'm an afab trans guy - I also ID as bigender, and my second gender is acegender. I've been on T since April 2018, take progesterone to stop my periods, consistently dress in what is traditionally viewed as men's/masc clothing, and am typically read as male. However, I've chosen not to have any surgery and also don't bind - which means I have a visible chest.

Would this be classed as gender nonconforming?

On the one hand - …

Content warning notes from "Can the Monster Speak? Academy of Psychoanalysts" Paul B. Preciado

I've been out as nonbinary since 2014 but recently starred identifying as transmasc/demiboy. I'm using he/him/they/them with my closest friends. All of which are supportive so far (I still have a few to talk to about it).

Does anyone have advice on asking and correcting people to use my preferred pronouns? I'm talking about people I'm not close with, like old work colleges and stuff.

I have ptsd and get very anxious when asking people for anything, really. I also have some really bad experiences when trying to come out in the past. It took me years to start binding again after an ex freaked out when I showed intrest in it.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm feeling like I'm being a nuisance a lot of the time and keep invalidating myself. 🫠

A warning for my , (and ) siblings who need to use binding, along with those in the various fandoms who may use binding to protray a character whose gender is different to their own.

Looks like GC2B is sadly closing its International (UK) store, (https://www.gc2b.io) and that's frankly gutting.

The site says it's going to be eventually closing its International store, but will be keeping its U.S. store running.

If you need binders and like their selection, now's the time to order some.

I've used them in the past for a transmasc family member, and I've ordered a few binders in my time for purposes. It's sad that the change of policies in Europe is causing this.

Spread the word :(

Email from GC2B. To Our International Customers, It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing the closure of our International Store, gc2b.io. This decision did not come easily to our team and has been under consideration for some time. With the onset of major international geopolitical shifts, an ongoing global pandemic, and financial inflation, our International Store has become unsustainable for us to continue to stock and maintain. While we were previously able to find short-term solutions to continue to meet the needs of our international customers, we have now come to the unfortunate decision to close gc2b.io
