Hey so this week I’m gonna try and do some self care stuff and I’m gonna try and post about my progress so that I remember to stay on track. Here’s some little things I wanna do each day:

Sunday: go on an adventure!!!

Monday: stop procrastinating on three things 

Tuesday: eat three healthy meals

Wednesday: have a movie night with tea and some kind of baked goods and a blanket and pyjamas and no makeup and just be comfortable and not stressed 

Thursday: go for a run, or if it’s rainy, at least get outside for a quick walk 

Friday: actually talk to someone about feelings/issues

** DONATE TO MY SURGERY FUND HERE **

Hi y'all!!

I’m Eli! Though on here I go by Gum or Gumrose.  I’m a 20 year old trans girl in college who’s in the process of medically transitioning (a frustratingly expensive process) and I’m hoping to have bottom surgery and a small amount of FFS (facial feminization surgery) by the time I graduate.  Both of these surgeries are medical necessities which will greatly reduce my dysphoria, and would allow me to be able to go through the world without being harassed, questioned, and having my identity invalidated.  

Bottom surgery specifically would allow me to change my gender marker on my ID (so it says I’m a girl) which would make my life a hell of a lot easier.  Additionally I wouldnt be nearly as afraid of going into public bathrooms or other women-only spaces, and would reduce a large portion of my dysphoria that often times is so severe I can’t leave the house.

FFS helps in similar ways - at the moment I can’t leave the house without makeup without the world seeing me as a boy, it’s a frustrating and painful experience, as well as one which defines where I can and can’t go. (no beaches, I have to pay close attention in case any place that I’m looking to go to might not be trans-friendly, public transit, etc.)   On a more personal note it’s hard to look in the mirror and see someone looking back at you who you can’t recognize.

I need your help

I’m a college student without the means to pay for these surgeries on my own, and unfortunately my family are also unable to help financially, (though they are loving and supportive) so anything you could give would be a literal and figurative lifesaver.  

If you’re unable to donate (believe me I understand) please share and spread this as widely as you can, that also is a huge help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. regardless of whether or not you can help, it means the world to me that people are taking time to listen to my story. Thank you for the love and support from the bottom of my heart, this means so much to me and my love is with all of you

-Eli

LISTEN UP!!!!!! NET NEUTRALITY ENDS APRIL 23RD

We put up a good fight…but now we only have 60 days to turn this around. There is still ONE thing we can all do!!!!! 

There’s something called the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that can be used to stop the FCC. We just need ONE MORE VOTE to win the Senate!!! 

For those who missed my last giant post a few months ago, last year, the FCC voted to repeal the Obama regulations designed to protect a fair and open internet. If these regulations are knocked down, providers like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon will have EVERY RIGHT to slow down internet speeds to those who aren’t on their more expensive plans. Even further, they have the power to censor and regulate what we see online.  MORE  further, they’d even have the power to slow down competitors’ streaming speeds, like Netflix, to make their own services more appealing. THIS SHIT IS NOT RIGHT!!!!! 

First thing you can do is to GET OFF YOUR ASS (OR ON IT IF YOU’RE AT A COMPUTER…) and take 20 seconds to sign this!!!! Second thing is to SHARE THIS CAMPAIGN WITH EVERYONE!!!

SIGN THIS!!!! https://www.battleforthenet.com/onemorevote/

PLEASE BOTHER!!!!! MINDSETS LIKE THIS CAN AND WILL STAND IN THE WAY OF WINNING BACK OUR RIGHTS!!!!!!!!
