Trans Listening Circle at Boston University

I know that for a lot of non-binary and transgender folks, swimming can be a pain (especially with a lack of gender neutral swimwear). It’s hard to want to go to a pool or to the beach and enjoy all that it has to offer without having to force yourself into swimwear that isn’t necessarily comfortable.

Just today, a company by the name of Outplay opened its doors for people looking for gender neutral swimwear! For a limited time, they’re having a pre-order sale—up to 60% off!

There are two different types of swimming binders available, and they come in both high and low binding compression:

The Swimmie mid drift binding swim top (pictured above; navy and white) is cropped, like a sports bra, allowing your mid section to be free. 

Here’s an example of a model, named Melo, wearing the low compression Swimmee binder and Tomboier shorts:

The Flatsea full-coverage binding swim top (pictured above in solid navy) is just like a swim tank! No more wearing a sports bra under a tank top!

Here’s an example of a model, named Alex, wearing the low compression Flatsea binder and Boi shorts:

The bi-colored Tomboier shorts (pictured above in navy with a white band) are a pair of swim shorts that can be paired with either swim binder of your choice.

The Boi shorts (pictured above in solid black) come in only solid colors and are longer than their Tomboier counterparts. The shorts can be paired with either top of your choice.

If you have any questions, please e-mail the Outplay company at [email protected].

if you are on hormones, you will have to pee 24/7

you are so god damn beautiful

tucking is hard the first time, but it gets easier

you don’t have to tuck if you don’t want to

there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to be trans or to transition

YOu ARE GORGEOUS

you have to learn to love yourself, it will save your life

don’t let the rough times with dysphoria dictate how you feel about yourself on a daily basis

you need to acknowledge and cherish the things you like about yourself

know that you are fucking beautiful

drink like eighteen gallons of water a day

pay no mind to people who are ignorant

HONESTLy, SO PRETTY

bras are very sweaty

never feel like a burden for being you

tell yourself that your beautiful everyday

try to find positives in your life, they will help you when everything seems like it’s crumbling

wow, you. are. HOTTTTT.

patience is so important

there are going to be good days and bad days

your nipples are really going to hurt

no

like they will really hurt

if you are seeing a doctor for hormones etc, always be open and honest with any questions or concerns

you are as ***flawless as beyoncé and don’t let anyone tell your differently

you don’t have to be feminine to be a woman

don’t compare yourself to others

you are valid, you are worth it, and you worthy, you are important.

you are not alone, ever.

I hope this helps some people the way it helped me.

After giving this same advice about affirmations to a few people in the past few months, I thought I would put this together in comic form.

Masterpost of the first ten queer heraldry posts!

Individual posts: bisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality, aromanticism, L.G.B.T.Q.+, intersex, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid, trans.

I tried to dig up as many resources and tutorials as possible from old master posts and normals posts as a lot of people have been complaining about the lack of resource posts for trans women. If you have anything to add please go ahead
