TRANSITION NAOW

Welcome! We made this blog with the purpose of providing transition advice to those with nontraditional physical, social, and mental transition goals such as transIDs, xenogenders, plurals, therians, ficto/factkin, and more! We are very interested in body modification especially.

We want this blog to be as inclusive as possible, so we have no DNI and no public discourse stances as we feel it's irrelevant. Just because we offer advice does not necessarily mean we "support" that label or transition type; we believe conversion therapy does not work and people will continue to see themselves as they do and try to transition regardless of strangers' opinions, so they should have access to resources to make their transition safe and fulfilling regardless.

Requests are always open! This is a hobby for us so it may take us a while to get to yours. If we can't think of anything (which is unlikely!) we will still post requests so the community can comment ideas. We like to think we think very outside-the-box though and hope we can find something useful for everyone!

We are also trialing making shopping lists for beings with themes like clothes, transition items, food, and more! Please be specific in what category of items you want, and you can include a price range if you'd like.

No hate or discourse, we'll just delete it so don't bother ^-^

Please specify in your ask if you need image descriptions, plain text, easyread text, or tone tags in our response and we will do them!

FAQ and more under cut!

i was wondering if you could do (trans)neoculture tips? like both figuring things out and transitioning if possible-? sorry if it's an odd ask, i actually haven't really seen the label mentioned at all outside of the transid wiki . .

I haven't heard of this before and I wasn't able to find a lot of information so I hope these tips are helpful! if I've misunderstood something please let me know and I'll update this:)

- make a document to keep track of everything about your culture as you figure it out so you can reference and build upon it later! you could also do pinterest boards, music or video playlists, a website like carrd or neocities, or web weavings to help visualize it in different ways!

- culture spans many things, such as language, food, architecture, religion/other beliefs, politics, everyday behaviors, clothing, art, and social organization! it's ok to not have it all figured out, especially all at once. culture is also always evolving and varies from person to person, so it's ok if it's vague or not exact, too!

- the culture you grew up in probably impacted how you think of the world and culture as concepts, learning about many different cultures (existing or fictional!) can give you ideas and help you see things in ways you haven't considered before. you can also use your differences from the society you grew up in as ideas as well, like if you wanted to be around a lot of new people but it was expected that you would have a close-knit family as your social group, you could flip that expectation in your neoculture!

- have any interested friends help build and join your culture! you could also "advertise" it in internet communities to get other people involved! transID communities could be a good place to start, I know it's not really the same thing but you could draw some inspiration or community from fults!

Here you go! 🦢🪽🚑

- from the angel side, you could seek out wings from cosplay or ren faire websites, or wear clothing that is evocative of wings like flowy sleeves, a backpack/crossbody bag with wings, or a shawl. you could also get/make a halo headband or hair clip, or get a "halo" hair dye!

- if you are an angel in a religious way (if that makes sense 😅), connecting with your religion and praying as well as meditation can help you get into an angel headspace. you can also incorporate any lore about angels into your life, such as angel numbers, angel spotting phenomena, or angel signs!

- from the nurse side, you could try stereotypical nurse outfits like a nurse dress + hat or scrubs, maybe dress them up with angel themed clothes or accessories! you could also get prop or real medical equipment like bandage scissors, a stethoscope, oral thermometer, or pill bottles.

- if it's okay with the rest of your system and accessible to you, you could pursue a job in healthcare, even if it's not nursing! some more entry-level jobs include home health aide, phlebotomy, medical assisting, assorted technician roles like radiation tech, ultrasound tech, or CRNA. this could be affirming and also help with the urge to take care of others!

- you could also study anatomy or nursing textbooks if that side of nursing interests you!

- be caring and nurturing, check on your friends and family and see if there's anything you can do to help them out! you could also get a pet to take care of.

- try to be "soothing", speak in a soft and measured voice, try to stay calm in stressful situations, play soothing music, meditate.

Transprincess Tips ✨💐👑

- big poofy dresses, sashes, tiaras or crowns, pretty shoes, pretty or big gaudy jewelry are princess classics, but if you're a princess from a specific area/time period research their wardrobes!

- act dignified, don't let people insult you or try to make you do work that's beneath you. you could also learn royal etiquette (or not, you're the boss!)

- order around friends or family to do your bidding!

- princesses can be adults too, but many princesses are children and age regression may help you not feel so much responsibility from your station.

- throw tea parties, dinner parties or banquets, or royal balls for your friends!

- eat feasts! buy a whole cake or roasted chicken for yourself, or whatever food you like! some other princess foods might include finger sandwiches, tea, wine, soup, expensive desserts, bread rolls, grapes, or tarts!

Here you go! 🩼♿✨

- decide what you're using crutches for, whether there's pain or immobility in one or both legs, hips, back, etc. this will affect how you walk and what kinds of crutches you will use!

- if you're only using one crutch, most people use it on the side that has pain/immobility to take the weight off that leg and maintain balance. using a pair of crutches makes balancing easier and can help with pain on both sides as well as the lower back, but restricts what you can do with your hands and may make shoulder/wrist pain worse.

- buy some! cheap(ish) crutches can be bought from amazon or pharmacies without a prescription and can be adjusted to fit your needs.

- practice walking around in a private space before you go out in public, watch videos of people walking with crutches and try to copy them! if anything hurts, try to adjust the height of your crutches or their handles, or add more padding. try to walk on different kinds of ground too, concrete vs carpet vs grass vs stairs are very different and have different challenges!

- decorate your crutches with stickers or charms! you can also attach a small bag to carry items like your phone and wallet, or a cute wrist strap which could be either made for crutches or a phone wrist strap which will have more options but may be less sturdy.

With that in mind, any advice for transitioning into a Bernese Mountain Dog?

With respect, there was really no need for you to include that with your request. I explicitly say in my intro I don't support everything I post, because that's not the point of this blog. Conversion therapy simply does not work and no amount of "supporting" or lack thereof from strangers on the internet will make someone change how they see themself or what they want to be. I want people to be safe and know more about the world and themselves, and that cannot be accomplished by dismissing them for their identities even if they're inflammatory or uncomfortable.

I'm not going to fulfill your request because honestly I think it's really rude to say you think my blog is harmful and then ask me to do the work I do on that blog for you. This blog is neutral because I want beings like you to receive the help you need alongside people who do not have access to most other adjacent/similar request blogs because of DNIs and stigma.

Here are some resources I found related to your request so you can still get help from people you may not find harmful:

Here you go! 👾🚲🏫

- decide what time frame and area you want to be a middle schooler "from". for example, children growing up in the 2000's in England would have very different aesthetics, fandoms, and social experiences than someone going through middle school in the 2020's in the USA. you can look up "(era) nostalgia core" for ideas if it's more modern, for eras older than that "(era) childhood/youth" may get you better results.

- consume media appropriate for children your age (PG-13), or maybe think of watching movies/etc that are too "mature" for you as sneaking into something you're not really supposed to see.

- download schoolwork for middle schoolers and focus on "age-appropriate" chores like cleaning your room or laundry.

- if you like, seek out a caregiver. this may be easier for your age, many middle schoolers are mostly independent and only need to be checked on or have some chores done for them (like making dinner or grocery shopping), if you need more or less support than this that's also okay though!

- also seek out other transkids your age or similar to befriend!

- if you haven't started or completed puberty yet you could take puberty blockers to help keep your development at that stage

- middle school is a time of transition and the beginning/middle of puberty for most people so there's a wide variety of what middle schoolers' bodies look and act like! if you have a beard you may get euphoria from shaving it, this is the age when most people learn to shave and often do because their facial hair is not grown in all the way and is patchy or thin. if you have breasts you may enjoy binding them to appear younger, but kids this age can have breasts as well and may start wearing bras for the first time. in general this stage is characterized by awkwardness and fumbling as you learn yourself and the world around you!

Here you go! 🧚🎲🎱

- fangs, contacts, long nails with black polish, long black hair or wig, horn headband or hair clips, etc! I actually found this page which has a lot of good resources for trolls including Vriska, intended to be cosplay but you can obviously use them for your own nefarious purposes: https://homestuck.net/resources/cosplay.html

- carry dice, preferably 8-sided, you can roll them to decide actions or get some extra luck. do things in 8's, in speech, text, and actions!

- vriskas glasses (pre or post explosion), or yellow glasses to give appearance of yellow eyes!

- everything blue! curate a wardrobe that helps emphasize your Vriskaness, maybe have at least one outfit each for Aranea and Mindfang that don't overlap with Vriska's clothes to emphasize their own personhood if that is helpful for you. outfits that evoke God tier pajamas or her fairy dress are also good options!

- vivterms! fangs, pusher, frondstubs, how ever far you want to go with it.

- try roleplaying games, whether in person like D&D or online, or keep a journal like Mindfang! you could also join LARPer groups specifically themed around Homestuck or pirates!

- join communities with other Serkets or Homestuck people on tumblr, discord, reddit, or MSPA forums! (try to feel out a community's feelings on vriskcourse before becoming too invested if that's something that upsets you!)

- save images, comics, pages, and stories that characterize you in a way you like, and keep them somewhere so you can draw on them if you feel dissociated/not yourself or are upset by incorrect depictions.

I'm having a challenging time with this because I am strongly opposed to the idea that minors can't know or care about their genitals and sexuality, the average person starts having sex and thinking about kink before 18, etc. but I also don't want to distress people (and tumblr has a big culture of Tag Everything Or Youre Evil). I don't agree that, for example, explaining what hormones do to your body or what genitals look/function like is "adult content" because that is information that you should know in your transition regardless of your age. I will never use the mature content labels because of the age verification is going on around the world and minors deserve access to all information. However I have started to drift into more kink-related suggestions (mostly from people I know already and would be ok with it) and I do have minors following me.

Here you go!💐🪡🧽🧹

- the uniform! a maid dress, apron, headpiece, or skirt could help get you into the maid headspace, but isn't required! even just finding an article of clothing that you like (and is relatively practical) and designating it your maid uniform can help you gather the energy to clean and tell your brain that it is cleaning time!

- have a set time for cleaning and maintenance, either the time of day or length of time you spend. this helps your brain overcome executive dysfunction and fear of exhaustion by assuring it that you won't have to work hard for a long time. listen to your body and don't overwork yourself, wearing yourself out makes it harder for you to clean in the future and is just unpleasant! start with small increments and slowly increase it if you can tolerate it, even just 15 minutes of cleaning a day is good progress!

- get cleaning equipment that you like and makes you happy, whether that's cute patterns, good efficiency, or matching an existing aesthetic you have. also, if it's helpful for you, mobility aids and assistive devices like range extenders that help you clean and are cute can motivate you to use them and reduce the energy needed! you could also get objectum about it if you're into that! your mop and trash can are your friends here to help!

- watch cleaning videos, cleaning product reviews, and maid media. maybe keep notes on tips, products, and reminders that help you! you may also benefit from learning about spoon theory if you haven't heard of that!

- arrange your room to facilitate cleaning, such as keeping trash cans near where you make trash, keeping your cleaning supplies easily accessible, and rearranging furniture so you don't have to struggle to reach any areas. small changes like air freshener, fresh flowers in a vase, opening a window, and changing the trash can help your space feel cleaner and are good starts to doing more. if you're overwhelmed by the state of your room, try just cleaning one small area or doing one task. seeing progress will help your brain see that it's not impossible!

- if it helps you, seek out a friend to either encourage you to clean and be a maid, be a maid with you and help you clean up your room, or body double for you either in person or over the internet! you could also pretend you are being a maid and cleaning someone else's room, a friend or character or just not yourself, if helping others motivates you.

- your space is for you and should help you live, cleaning is self care and love. being a maid is committing to caring for yourself and your environment!

- if it is helpful you could have a BDSM submission mindset with it, even if you aren't doing it with a partner. there are a lot of maidkink posts on tumblr that can help give you ideas, and more traditional BDSM 24/7 dynamics can mirror maidness! affirm that you are being a good maid by cleaning, you are doing what you're made to do and doing it well, and taking care of yourself out of love.

Here's what I've got! 💤💕💮

- read and watch shota! I don't personally have recommendations unfortunately, but familiarizing yourself with the popular medias and exploring could be a fun experience!

- join shota lover communities on places like tumblr, reddit, and x to interact with other shota lovers!

- show your pride (while not making yourself a target)! you could get stickers/keychains/etc of the shota symbol or of specific shota media you enjoy, just be careful where you display it and around who. you could also use more ambiguous symbols/media like BL, cutesy fashion, or anime with shota/similar characters!

Here you go! 😺🌌🛸

- lime green hair dye, maybe an antennae haircut or hairstyle like tiny pigtails. black eye contacts or small/fun shaped black glasses. maybe paint your nails green or black and/or sharpen them into claws! fang teeth prosthetics like those made out of fake nails could be useful too!

- accessories! I actually found a lot of cute gnarp gnarp ears/antennae, paws, tails, and fursuit heads/masks on etsy! some more subtle choices include fingerless gloves that are green and/or have paws on the palms, alien shirts, alien, spaceship, or kitty jewelry, shoes with paws on the bottoms, or paw socks. you could also get a gnarp gnarp friend like the build-a-bear or ikea alien plushes to join you!

- talk like a gnarp gnarp! use words you see in memes/images of gnarp gnarps or other aliens (bogos binted?), or make up your own way of speaking! you can practice in private to get a feel for it. you could also post on the internet in gnarp gnarp language and provide a translation beneath (or don't!).

- learn more cat or alien-like movement, like pouncing, rolling around, bouncing off objects and walls, batting toys around, and jumping. you may also enjoy quadrobics! you could also do activities like trampolines, bouncy castles, or anything else that helps you feel like you're in zero gravity.

- practice pet regression or petplay, focus on playing, exploring, and interacting with this strange new planet as a gnarp gnarp space cadet! you could also buy cat toys to play with, alien-themed or not.

Here you go! 🌀🐦🪩

- The simplest thing to do is buy a pair! There are a lot of options online. If you're looking for something more realistic/similar to insect or bird wings I would look into places that sell renfaire cosplay pieces (though these can be pricey). If you want something more stereotypically "fairy" or cheaper, I would look at costume stores (you could also modify some cheap ones from a costume store to look nicer/more your style).

- If the idea of buying wings to wear makes you dysphoric it may help to think of them as prosthetics or decorations for your wings!

- If you want to be more subtle or don't want people asking too many questions, I would recommend a shawl, cape, or cowl in the right color/pattern! Raver shops seem to have a lot of butterfly capes/shawls (and a lot of them are very sparkly or light up if you're into that), or you could seek out something crochet on etsy or another platform for more texture (or hand make it if you have the ability). These items can also cover your wings while reminding you of their weight, rather than representing your wings directly.

- Coordinate outfits/accessories to accentuate them!

- Meditate, learn to be more in tune with your body and your wings. Feel them flutter, brush into things, or fold down. If they come and go, take notice of why and maybe encourage them to stick around! Past life meditation and daydreaming of when you had your wings can also help.

-If you end up wearing wings, it can help to notice the space they take up and how your movement changes to accommodate them, you may even start to change your movement when you're not wearing them!
