help a queer latinx queer femme afford diabetes meds!! (please don’t scroll) Hey pals, most of you know me as Tai. I’m a 22 year old queer undocumented latinx femme and aspiring novelist, and I’m currently fucking panicking because my health insurance contract just ended. I have Type 1 diabetes, so my body depends on medication that’s vital to my life. I’m on a work visa that expires in a few months, and it’s the only documentation keeping me safe and “legal” in the eyes of the country. This year I’m hoping to complete my green card process so that I can reside in this country for good. My work contract from my last job also ran out and as an immunocompromised person, I’ve struggled to find safe work during this pandemic. I am not eligible for financial aid from the government. This is time sensitive. I’m just looking for support to help me with funding by diabetes meds. This is hugely time sensitive. Feel free to share this link with your immediate community! Any donations welcome, no amount is too small! Your help and support is greatly appreciated. 💖 kofi (preferred)

To every aspec: I am proud of you.
To aspecs who are out and loud about your aspec identities: I am proud of you. Keep on being true to yourself. You inspire us all.
To aspecs who can’t or don’t want to come out yet: I am proud of you. Take all the time you need. We are waiting with open arms to welcome you when you are ready.
To aspecs who don’t ever plan to come out: I am proud of you. To put your safety and comfort first is an act of pride in and of itself. You don’t need anyone’s approval but your own.
To aspecs who love being aspec: I am proud of you. Your joy is revolutionary.
To aspecs who don’t love being aspec: I am proud of you. It’s hard, but you keep going anyway.
To people who aren’t sure where they fall on the a-spectrums, or if they do at all: I am proud of you. It takes courage to find answers, and you are doing so well.
To the aspec reading this right now: I am proud of you. Wherever you are in your journey. I hope you are proud of yourself too because honestly? You are amazing. You make our community better by being in it. Thank you.
Being aromantic, asexual, or aspec in any amount does not make you inhuman, sick, or in need of treatment. You are wonderful as you are

this is something that’s been lost as common knowledge both since the drop off of anti-ace discourse and directly Because of it ever having been a thing in the first place, but in light of recent published bigotry pointed at aspecs (aces And aros) gaining attention I think this is something that bares emphasizing:
this reaction isn’t new, it’s something we’ve seen from conservatives for decades now.
a commonly accepted talking point is that conservative christians Must love aspec people, because they represent the theoretical ideal of abstinence. it’s something that I see even from spaces that Aren’t using it as a weapon against aspecs, and in a vacuum it makes sense as an Assumption.
but the thing it misses is that conservative christians do not think asexual and aromantic people Are Real. when they idolize abstinence it’s as a great sacrifice that one makes to defeat the Universal Demon Of Lust. and, more importantly, It’s Something That’s Supposed To End. you’re Supposed to get into a nice heterosexual christian marriage and have lots of little babies that you take to your nice heterosexual christian church, repeated ad infinitum.
and moreover, both christians and popular society In General see our ability for romantic love as The Thing That Makes Humans Human.
so you introduce the concept of people who Don’t experience either of those things and you get two reactions.
1: horror. the “this is a mental/physical illness that desperately needs to be fixed” approach. the idea is monstrous or pitiable but always revolting. they Believe that you live this way, but they don’t believe that it’s something that a “normal” human being could experience or that it’s something that someone could be Happy experiencing.
2: Suspicion. they don’t believe that asexuality or aromanticism Is Real, therefore it Must be a coverup for something even more revolting than is being lead on. it’s not unlike the idea that any feminine or non-threatening trait in a guy (Any guy) is Really just him trying to lure women into a false sense of security by Being seemingly non-threatening, and is therefore even More suspicious as a potential threat.
we’ve Always seen “well if he doesn’t want to fuck humans then I’ll Bet He Wants To Fuck Something Else” and pedophilia accusations/implications. they don’t see aspecs as Pure and Holy, they see them as a threat either to their understanding of what humans can be or as a wolf in sheep’s clothing trying to get away with something.
this is hardly even the first time that aspecs have been presented this way in published news articles or tv. the difference is that public awareness of asexuality and aromanticism has shifted, and with it the bigotry that was always there is being amplified.
that said, I think it’s important to emphasize that this isn’t new, considering the history of erasure ace and aro people have experienced when trying to talk about said bigotry.
I don’t necessarily think this post needs “evidence” (especially with the fox news article already linked above), but for the sake of illustration lets turn back the clock to 2015 for one of the examples I have saved [Link]
My dear lgbt+ kids,
Did you know „conversion therapy“ is still not banned in most European countries?
Conversion therapy describes cruel, abusive attempts to force someone to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. It has been proven to not only not work but also cause lasting damage and trauma and greatly increase suicide risks. The United Nations has qualified it as what it is: torture.
This official petition is calling on the European Commission to do three important things:
Ban conversion practices across the EU – by proposing a new law or strengthening existing ones.
Protect victims – by updating victim rights laws so survivors get the support they deserve.
Make sure all EU countries act – either by introducing a ban or improving weak laws.
SIGN THE PETITION HERE
They need 1 million signatures from EU citizens by tomorrow (May 17, 2025) to make the EU act. This is not just a symbolic number! If they reach that number, the European Commission is legally required to respond and consider turning it into law.
At the time of writing this, they have reached 915,945 signatures.
If you’re from Europe, please consider signing (it’s easy and safe). If you’re not from Europe, please consider sharing!
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
hello luv, can I get a rblog from you please? ty
Exactly.
I got desperate enough to deadname myself so that anyone’s Christian relatives will be willing to help.
For those of you who don’t know me well, hi. I’m styx, a disabled transmasculine person trying to get away from an abusive family and shitty home situation to somewhere I’ll be safe.
I’m not gonna share all my shit here because this is the internet, but I’m trying to raise money to move out and afford my medication.
I can’t work because of my disability and I am also selling tarot readings for fifteen dollars. I will link also my c*sh*pp; dm me for details or business inquiries.
Anything helps, blessed be.
hi, hello, hey there, i’m elio:)
i’m a queer trans guy of color and i’ve been struggling with money recently (as in can barely afford food kind of struggling), so, if you like gay fiction and have 5 bucks to spare, you can commission any short story you’d like, be that sfw or nsfw* (the price might go up if you want a longer work). you will receive it as soon as possible, which honestly probably means within 24 hours.
in other ‘news’, i’ll also be selling my 25 pound gc2b gift card for 20-22 pounds. you can use it in the uk/international store (it hasn’t been used at all, btw)
if you are interested in either or have questions, send me a message:)
regardless, thank you for taking the time to read this and it’d be amazing if you could help me spread the post, i’d appreciate that a lot:)
have an awesome day, stay hydrated<3
*don’t forget you have to be 18+ for nsfw content
I just signed up to offer mutual aid to other trans people in distress though the Trans Resistance Network (US focused). There are tons of ways to help, many of which do not cost money.
