Protect queer kids!

i run a blog that recommends the best methods for things like tucking packing binding and padding/stuffing i also try to spread general safety resources for trans, gnc, and intersex, and queer people in general.

the plan is to put links for all my recommendations then have a link to another post that explains things like tips, safety, and why and how i chose what i chose for each recommendation. if you want to see all the notes use #notes And I’m always open for questions or requests I’ll do specific research on any items you ask about to answer whatever questions anyone sends. That’s the other main thing this blog is for, more then willing to answer questions and do research for you all.

status: everythings updated :) my grammar is messy but i did my best, ill probably be going back and fixing grammar at some point later.

Question for y'all: what would you do if you had $10,000 to make things better for LGBTQ+ youth in your community or school?

If you can dream it up, we want to help you make it happen.

Since 2022, we've awarded over $1.3 million in funding to 142 youth-led projects across the U.S., including things like gender-affirming clothing closets, regional LGBTQ+ youth conferences, student wellness programs and safe spaces, and inclusive arts and education projects.

And yup, we're doing it again.

With It Gets Better: Changemakers, we want to help you create a lasting impact at your school, your library, your local LGBTQ+ center, or wherever it’s needed most in your own local community. A downtown Pride mural? Education sessions at your local LGBTQ+ center? A Queer Prom? Let's do it!

You can apply now for a grant of up to $10,000 through May 5, 2025 at itgetsbetter.org/changemakers.

P.S.: Look out for upcoming live info sessions where we'll answer all your FAQs about the application and funding process. Can't wait to see your ideas. 💜

If you would like to be added to or removed from this list please let me know!

I tried to sort by the blogs' main purpose so people can easily find what they're looking for, but there's obviously some overlap. If you think your blog is listed under the wrong category please tell me and I'll move it.

Just finding these blogs was difficult and I'm only one person so if you run/follow any helpful queer blogs not on the list already let me know so I can add them!

Especially blogs in the sex-ed category or the political/activist/org category that aren't usa-based.

When trying to participate in any form of activism as a minor, it's going to be more difficult than it would be for an adult.

This is a guide to participating in effective activism as a teen!

And remember, your safety is always more important than being an activist. If your safety would be threatened, don't participate in activism unless/until you have ways to ensure you'll stay safe.

1, Get support from adults in your community!

If you can find a teacher or counselor who'll support the formation of a GSA club, a local politician willing to listen to queer youth, an individual adult activist or a local activist group that'll help queer youth, etc, it will go a long way.

Even if you don't have supportive parents, someone in your community likely will be supportive. It's just a matter of finding them.

2, Be involved in your local community!

(this goes with 1 but more in depth)

Get involved with your local library and ask if they'll let you host events there. Attend your school board meetings (if you live somewhere where they're open to the public). Organize trans clothing trades or other mutual aid projects. Find existing activist groups in your area and reach out to them. Or if these activist groups don't exist yet work on creating a group!

Activism on the local level is just as important as large scale marches and protests. And local activism is good at getting results that you can tangibly see, while large scale activism is more of a long game. Find out how you can be involved and help queer people in your community.

3, Stay informed on politics and legislation!

Be aware of what the laws (both nationwide and local laws) in your area are and how they affect the queer community. Know what your rights are and how they're protected. Know what you can do if your rights are violated.
