Trans advice for POC

@transpocadvice / transpocadvice.tumblr.com

Hi my name is Danny. For now I am the only one on this advice blog but who knows if that will change in the future. I made this blog for the sole purpose to give Trans POC the chance to ask their questions to someone who is actually a person of color.

Im trans but am in the midst of learning about my ancestry. Im confused on if west asians (namely georgians and armenians) are considered poc or not?

From what I've been reading it would seem that Georgians are predominantly white with some asain heritage. As for Armenians from what I've read those also could be people of colour. It really depends on the remaining parts of your heritage. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a more clear answer but it's a fairly big discussion from what I've been reading!

If anyone else knows more about the subject feel free to help me out!

Hi . I am not trans or a poc . when i was younger i said and did alot of things that would be seen as insensitive today. I never mean to hurt anyone. my question is how do i fix what Ive done/ show my trans poc friends that i genuinely love them? i was like 13 and under when i said/did these things but i still feel remorse even now that im 20.

Did you do it to them? Or were you just ignorant like everyone else at 13? If you did it to them apologize and keep educating yourself on everything that concerns them but if you were 13 and you didn't know them you dont need to apologise to them. Just try to keep educating yourself and to be better than you were at 13.

Hello! I’m not trans myself but am seeking advice for a friend. Their name was Mykaela but now wishes to be called Kayleb. I’m wondering if I should call Kayleb he/him she/her (Kayleb used to be) go with they/them or wait until they tell me. Only thing is I don’t want to offend Kayleb by calling Kayleb and pronouns without knowing. I’m still learning about trans people and people of LGBT community (raised catholic) but I’m trying to change my ways. Thanks for any help you can offer

Hey! It's good that you're looking for answers! I would suggest just asking them because then you'll know for sure what they want you to use. It's not dumb or stupid to ask especially when they change their name. Just be polite and don't disrespect them.

hi hi hi this isn't so much about trans advice but racial advice: i'm a white teen but i'm a very passionate ally of poc. i was mortified the other day when my african-american friend called me out for an incident regarding the earrings i was wearing. they're in the shape of "get out of jail free" cards from monopoly and i had earlier made a joke about how my white female face served as a get out of jail free card. was it insensitive of me to make the joke? i apologized fast but i'd like to know

I mean I would've found it funny and be like yeah that's true but I can imagine it coming over as an insensitive joke especially with how things are today in the modern world. Be sure to know which jokes you can make with your friends and which aren't because you can never be sure how they feel.

The first Bionic penis update

DONATE TO THE BIONIC PROJECT AND WIN!

The first 24 hours of the Bionic Project went amazing, cracking the $1000 mark!!!

So a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that has donated so far!

But we REALLY need to keep the momentum going if we want to see the Bionic become a reality, as the subsequent 24 hours have seen donations peter out to juuuust  a smidge under $200.

As I’m sure many of you, who have already donated are also realising, it’s really tough to get others to part with their hard earned cash, even when it’s a project they believe in and would love to see become a reality. It’s hard! We’re not exactly a cashed up community.

Hence I’ve decided to drop the $1500 fundraising goal to win any existing Transthetics product down to $1000.*

So please, share your unique links in your Facebook groups, Reddit forums, Tumblr posts and Twitter feeds! Let’s keep the momentum going!! And if every one of you that reads this post gave just $10, we’d have this fundraiser licked!!

So please, if you want to see the Bionic become a reality, put down $10, or $5 or $1 and then do your darndest to win yourself any existing Transthetic product by spreading the word!*

DONATE TO THE BIONIC PROJECT AND WIN!

* After you donate, you will be issued a unique link to share in your social circle. Anyone who donates through your unique link will count towards your total fundraising tally.

So I’m sure you guys are wondering

“Mom what is this thing, why’d you reblog it, how does it pertain to me”

Great question.

This is a prosthetic penis. Not a packer. Not a dildo. Not bottom surgery. If it really does come to fruition, this will be a prosthetic that’s a penis, and is much cheaper than bottom surgery, and actually WORKS. You could pee from it, get erections (something bottom surgery doesn’t provide).

And the fact that this post only has 58 notes is a CRIME. This is a trans run business, and while the person in charge words things very very awkwardly (they seem to be a rather awkward person in general), this thing could save so much money and alleviate so much dysphoria. Please @ people with this, any big trans blogs you can think of.

Bottom surgery has a high risk of complications in most places and a having a safer alternative is super important!!!

!!!!! As a transmale bottom surgery has always terrified me with the price and complications that come with it, it’s a goal I knew I’d never get to reach because the surgery in itself is so expensive even with my insurance coverage. Please spread the word, this could help so many other transmales finally achieve their goal in a safe and low risk way!

Hey yall trans masc people get yo self a dick

So recently I've been questioning whether or not I'm a transman, I don't know if I feel dysphoria. I know I have a discomfort for my body and when my femininity comes out I feel kind of uncertain about it. When I put on a dress I start to cry and my chest hurts and I can't stop and the idea of living as a girl gives the same reaction. Am I really a man?

I can't tell you who you are but I can tell you that what you're experiencing is gender dysphoria

Packers, STPs, and Dildos: A List for Transmasculine Folks! 

This is an incomplete list, and there are more options for packers/STPs/dildos/etc out there! If the link doesn’t work, just google the product name because most of these are sold in multiple stores/websites and send me an ask so I can fix the link. The list comes from this post.

Packers

STPs

STP Packers

Pack n’ plays and dildos

Pack, play, and STP

Make sure you read multiple reviews before you buy a packer, because some companies are scams or just shitty. Three companies to avoid are below:

  • Don’t shop at packer locker (It’s a scam and I personally lost $15 dollars from them that I never got back and others have lost more)
  • Don’t shop at The Ultimate Prosthetic (This is also a scam and people have lost hundreds of dollars and never recieved products)
  • Don’t shop at FtmConnect (the owner is racist and the packers aren’t even that great anyway)

Hey, so I'm a transmasc. Native person, and I can't cut my hair. I dance at pow wows so it's really, really long. Do you have any tips for long haired dudes? I've tried a lot of things but since I'm still figuring out if I want to start on T I don't pass.

Hey, so I'd say look on Google for stone ways to style it more masculine? Like Google on male long hair styles and see what pops up! Maybe it'll help!

Yo, I've been lurking on the blog for awhile and I had a question I can't seem to solve. Hoping you might have some advice? I'm trying to find masculine hairstyles for ftms with kinky hair. A lot of ftm hair advice is clearly not applicable to my hair texture and idk what styles would look masc and let me keep my afro longer than like 0.2 inches. Like, my stylist giving me a pixie cut would take some serious magic and my sideburns aren't gonna be short & square no matter what you do lol. Help??

Avatar

I have 4c type hair myself so I know how you feel lol What I do is just google black men hair styles or african men hair styles and numerous suggestions pop up! It will also help to go to a black barber or at least someone who is used to working with kinky hair. I hope this helps a little!

A transgender woman exclusively breastfed her baby, thanks to induced lactation
As the world rang in a new year on Jan. 1, two medical professionals quietly announced they had made what was once an impossible dream a clinical reality.
www.romper.com|Christina Ann-Marie DiEdoardo

Two medical researchers have announced that their work in medically induced lactation has had an incredible impact: one of their patients, a transgender woman, was able to breastfeed her baby, serving as the child’s exclusive food source for six weeks and supplementing with formula afterward. 

The case is especially significant because the patient was taking HRT at the time and had not undergone any type of gender confirmation surgery. A carefully-developed combination of medication and breast pump use made it so the woman was able to produce enough breast milk to sustain her baby.

While trans women have experimented for years with methods to induce lactation, usually using drugs like domperidone on a DIY basis, Reisman and Goldstein’s case report, published in Transgender Health, is the first time medical professionals have worked toward the same goal and published their results in a medical journal.  
To Madeleine Bair, an undergraduate at UCLA and a trans woman, that’s not surprising.
“Medical issues that affect trans people are often understudied or ignored completely,” she tells Romper. “Mt. Sinai is doing a lot of interesting work, as is Dr. (William) Powers out of Michigan.“
“But I find that studies like this are the exception to the rule. So, most trans health care ends up being crowdsourced from other trans people,” she says. “We educate each other so we can empower each other to take back our own medical agency.”

This is huge news with amazing implications for queer and transgender families everywhere. Truly, science rules.

me and my friend are working on a fantasy story and as we are both white i need advice about a character. please forgive my ignorance! SO, the main characters love interest is decidedly going to be trans but its under debate weather or not to also make her a poc. im all for the diversity but i fear we might accidentally portray her in a racist way when her first language isnt english. any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated!!

I don’t know the story or what it’s going to be but its not automatically racist to make a person a person of color and it’s also not automatically racist if their first language isn’t english. I need more details on your story to see if it could be racist but be careful to not overstep your boundaries as a white person. Always ask advice of those who are actually of that descent so you have multiple voices talking about your character not just white voices. I hope this helps

Hi! Latino trans guy here! I really love this blog. Do you have any advice for coming out to classmates? I recently came out to my closest friends (and everything went very well!) but I'd like to come out to my classmates so they can use my correct pronouns and name. I don't want to do a full explanation as I did with my friends and I don't want to look like an attention seeker either, but I want them to understand it so I can be more comfortable around them.

I am so sorry for this awfully late response I’ve been so busy! 

You could just explain to them that yes you’re trans and these are your pronouns and name and that you just want to be yourself! Hella proud of you for coming out!
