transition according to your own needs, and create your own transition timeline. you are not transitioning "wrong" or "late" if you come out later in life, or if you are not out or on hormones by your 20's. you are allowed to take time and assess which parts of transition suit you, and which don't. it's okay to take it slowly if you want to, it's okay to take actual years to make decisions.
it's okay to also move quickly through transition, as long as you know it's right for you, and you've done research into how it can affect your long term health, if you are choosing HRT and other medical avenues of transition. for some people, the dysphoria is so unbearable they have to get their hands on HRT as soon as possible or they may not make it to the other steps of their transition. this is okay, too, just be sure to practice as many harm reduction practices are you are possibly capable of doing- avoiding frequent binding while your body is still growing can help you in the long run, for example.
regardless, it's okay to transition at any rate or pace, you're not transitioning "too late" if you transition in your late 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and beyond. it's okay to admit you feel trans if you're very, very young, it doesn't mean you'll "grow out of it"- there is no order to the steps in which you need to take to make yourself comfortable- it doesn't matter if you start by diving HRT first after doing research on how it will affect you, or start by switching pronouns and working your way up. transition how it feels right for you.
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.

it's cold and we can't afford the £10 a day for heating or the new, increased price of the dry cat food we buy. we also need to make up the rest of our rent again (like £110 lmfao)
anyone of any gender or identity can use whatever pronouns they want. trans men can use she/her, trans women can use he/him, nonbinary people don't have to use they/them or neopronouns, genderfluid people don't have to alternate pronouns, anyone can use they/them, it/its, ze/hir, xe/xem or neopronouns, cishet people can use whatever pronouns they want. anyone can use whatever pronouns they want
pronouns are not locked or tied to genders. destroy the binary in your mind that dictates that pronouns have an assigned gender, presentation, or identity. they don't. the only thing a pronoun set means about you is that you like to use those pronouns. have fun, be yourself
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)

My roommate and I need to get out of the moldy place we are living in. We intend to sue our landlord after but we need to get somewhere safe, and stay fed until we can do that. We have money for long term housing and dental surgery but can't take out of those things as it took us over a year to save anything for them.
I had made a post for this, but didn't make much progress, and a lot changed in two weeks including some unexpected urgent costs. Now our original goal is no longer accurate. This goal covers transportation needs, food, and finding somewhere else for a little bit. This is urgent bc I have reason to think our landlord may try and physically remove us if we cannot afford to leave.
I'll do art for anyone who gives $50+ just message me at my art blog @theartistrans

If anyone else out there knows what it's like to live without family after cutting out abusers and having no connections or help, please consider helping out. I live in Texas as trans non binary person of color and I'm at risk of getting evicted after being unemployed for two months and not qualifying for unemployment. Luckily I have a job now but I wasn't hired soon enough and I owe my apartment complex 1900. My cashapp is $aleahberroa please if anyone can help, I have no family near me to offer support and I have no where else to stay. Thank you

Hey y'all, I'd appreciate anyone from the UK signing this petition to allow trans/nonbinary kids to stay closeted from their parents if they're out at school. It's obviously very important that children be able to keep potentially dangerous information about their identity away from their parents, and explore it safely in a school environment.
If it reaches 10k votes the government must respond, and 100k means they need to debate it, but any votes are good for raising awareness and profile.
If you're not from the UK please share this so others see it
