Tumblr media
[ID: Four illustrated people stand facing one another at the bottom-center of the page. They are of diverse heights, races, and clothing, and some hold different sports equipment. Three people are standing, and one is using a wheelchair. Three lines of all-caps text above the people read "This is a nationwide movement to end transgender sports bans by playing sports." End ID.]
Tumblr media
[ID: Black text fills the page, reading "As transgender athletes, we have been forced into silence over an issue that affects us personally: our participation in sports. There are some who believe that simply being transgender creates an unfair advantage, others who say that is not the case, and many who do not know what to think. While opinions are divided, what is a fact is that transgender athletes are being unfairly discriminated against through these bills. That is why throughout the summer, we are inviting everyone, regardless of your identity, to play sports with us at Let Trans Athletes Play events across the country." In the bottom right corner, a small illustrated femme person sits with a skateboard in their lap. End ID.]
Tumblr media
[ID: Black all-caps text covers the top half of the page. It is a quote from QYA volunteer and athlete Xander Grey, who uses he/him pronouns. Text reads "I've been told I can't compete because I refuse to wear a female swimsuit. It would be amazing to be a part of a community that celebrates and uplifts me rather than refuses to let me compete. I've been so many firsts in my community and I hate having all that pressure put on me. For once, I'd like to be a part of a bigger first." In the bottom left corner, three people of varying heights, races, and clothing face each other. One is using a wheelchair, while the other two stand. Two people hold sports equipment. End ID.]
Tumblr media
[ID: Large white all-caps text at the top of the page reads "LTAP Overview." Below, there are four quadrants, each with an illustration. In the top-left, three people of varying heights, races, and clothing face each other. One is using a wheelchair, while the other two stand. Two people hold sports equipment. Below them is the word "sports." In the bottom-left there is a person with blue hair holding a sign that says "I love being trans." Below them is the word "protests." In the top-right, a person with purple hair holds some toys. Below them says "games." In the bottom-right, a person with red hair holds a pamphlet that has a trans flag and binder drawing on it. Below them says "learning." End ID.]
Tumblr media
[ID: Large all-caps white text at top of page reads "get involved." Two smaller white all-caps subtitled read "host an event" and "attend an event." Smaller black text below "host an event" reads "We're looking for organizers and organizations to host Let Trans Athletes Play events across the country this summer! Visit our website (queeryouthassemble.org) to learn how," and text below "attend an event" reads "Regardless of if you're an athlete, non-athlete, transgender, or cisgender, we encourage you to attend an event near you. There's something for everyone, regardless of athletic ability!" End ID.]
Tumblr media
[ID: Black all-caps text covers the top half of the page. It is a quote from QYA art consultant and former athlete Jesse Young-Paulson, who uses they/he pronouns. Text reads "Even considering the competitive nature of the games, being able to see other people like me on the field was a moment of radical inclusion and visibility—the type of visibility where you don’t feel hypervisible, but seen for yourself and part of a queer sports community." At the bottom of the page are five people, of diverse heights, races, and clothing. One person has visible top surgery scars, and holds a ball. Another person holds a progress pride flag. End ID.]

Hello, my name is Kaleo Mendes. I am a transgender person (transmasc), and I have been undergoing hormone therapy for approximately 3 years. Right now, I am experiencing rib pain due to an injury caused by wearing a binder. I confess to you, I can't take it anymore.
I live in Belém (Amazon) - Pará/ Brazil. I have been receiving care through the public health system (SUS) for years, here, transgender individuals need to wait for 2 years to be referred to the gender affirmation surgery queue.
However, the place where I was being treated moved to another clinic, and many medical records were lost due to administrative irresponsibility, forcing me to endure two more years living with the discomfort of chest dysphoria and all the painful injuries I incur from binding.
Believe me, I don't wear a binder because I want to. Flattening my chest is infinitely less suffering than the psychological pain of not doing so. I need help. I constantly feel short of breath, experience heat to the point of dizziness, my ribs are injured, and I have tape burn marks. My posture is ruined, and I have no desire to leave my house...
Tumblr media
How can I work, study, and continue my life with physical and mental health in this condition? Currently, I am pursuing a specialization at Federal University of Pará and I have faith that I will progress to a master's degree (waiting results). However, the anxiety of exposing myself in public spaces while feeling uncomfortable with my appearance has hindered me and affected my performance.
Previously, I tried to start a fundraiser to raise funds for my mastectomy, but before reaching the total amount, my dog developed cancer, and I had to pay for her medications (fortunately, I had the support of a friend who sponsored her treatment).
This meant that I decided to talk to the people who supported me at that time (I knew all of them) and ask them to redirect those funds to save her life. I was devastated, but I put it aside and decided to endure the binder for a while longer.
But now, all of this has become IMPOSSIBLE. I genuinely NEED help; I just want to have the minimum of health and comfort with my body. Please, if you can help me, I beg you... my mental health has been deteriorating even though I am already taking psychiatric medication.
I don't think I can continue in this condition... I want to give up. This is the link to de BRL CAMPAIGN:

I am not a scammer; I am just one more transgender person begging for help to stay alive in the country that kills the most transgender people in the world. That's who I am:

Hogwarts Legacy and the Limits of Liberal Allyship
Seeing the conversation around Hogwarts Legacy has confirmed my belief that the bandwidth of conventional American politics is so small, and can't encompass literally any action that challenges the status quo.
For those who don't know, Hogwarts Legacy (HL) is an upcoming AAA Western RPG where you play as a created character in the Harry Potter universe. It's gotten a lot of flak due to its ties to JK Rowling (JKR). She still gets money from anything in the Harry Potter IP due to her contract negotiations. The issue with JKR is that she doesn't believe that trans women are women. Due to this, a lot of folks, especially those in trans communities are asking people not to play the game.
The issue comes in when people are not only going to play the game but are loudly playing it. People revel in the fact that there are those who "are mad" that they're playing a game.
But, it's so much more than that. Just because people have such a strong affinity for Harry Potter, they feel like they can't help but play the game. While I've never really engaged with the IP, from what I do know, that shit did not age well in most regards.
The simple fact is, if someone from a community is like, "hey, can you not do this thing that enables people to harm me and people in my community"? Our answer should be yes. There should be no argument. Why is this an issue?
It's an issue because of the prevailing politics of the day. As I mentioned before, this is American-centric, but neoliberalism is worldwide, baby. It affects all of us.
In the liberal conventional thought around social issues, supporting marginalized movements and ideologies is only acceptable within a certain range of actions and contexts. It all ends up being performative, due to a very shallow, mostly aesthetic analysis.
Like, anything that makes them uncomfortable is too far, and any dissent from the community is asking too much.
While liberals see themselves as being more progressive than conservatives, it seems that the extent of their allyship is the yearly rainbow flag logo shit. Both groups inherently uphold the structures that exist (which cause the need for there to be such strong allyship in the first place.)
To bring it back to HL, if people want to play the game, I don't agree with it but like, I'm not gonna smack you over the head. It just proves the point to a great degree when they feel the need to not only buy it (instead of 🏴‍☠️), but to tell these folks that you're going to. They're upset because people don't seem to care about their issues, especially when a lot of LITERALLY genocidal things are happening to trans folks.
The whole thing just feels very scary. How many times do we have to go through historic moments before people start to see the patterns? I really hope that people start understanding that allies don't mean shit. Folks need accomplices.
If you want to know how to help, find those communities in your locality and get involved. Send them some bands, like the amount that you would've spent on the game if you were to buy it. Show up, in real solidarity. We have to protect each other. This kind of shit does not end well for marginalized people in general (bigotry will always try to envelop more and more people). Stay safe, and stand with your community. Here's a link to learn more.

Just realized I'm mentally spiraling which means I'm probably going to quit this job sooner than I hoped. Hopefully I get something lined up sooner rather than later but mental health is bad right now.
Hi, I'm a disabled queer trans man who needs help with house bills, house repairs, groceries, car repairs, medications, medical bills, and vet bills.
Any donations will be appreciated. PayPal: sallenj276 @ yahoo.com
Please reblog.
