Normalize using small words with aac.

Normalize not bullying or making fun of someone who is verbose when able to speak but isn't when using aac.

Normalize being patient for an aac speaker to type.

help a broke transmasc get their T?

my insurance stopped covering HRT and it's about $200 for the doctor visit to get my testosterone prescription refilled.

I'm disabled and can't hold a job. I'm living off of food stamps right now with no income.

I really hate to be making this post, but I don't see any other option for me to afford my T right now.

anything helps, even just reblogging this post. and thank u if u have read this far.

p4: them sitting, knees to their chest, with a worried expression. the tablet lays on the floor next to them, and the caption reads "Using AAC isn't opposed to verbally speaking / It's opposed to isolating myself, to staying quiet"

p5: them lying, curled on the floor, hands covering their face. it's captioned "My mouth doesn't let me say much these days / I don't know if speaking will get easier or harder"
