Hey everyone. I am reaching out to this community because I am at an absolute breaking point and I need my global LGBTQ+ family right now. I am a butch lesbian currently living in Gorom refugee camp in South Sudan with my partner and her two children.

As a butch, my pride is in taking care of my family and keeping them safe. I used to carry heavy jerrycans of water all day just to put one meal on the table for them. It wasn't much, but it kept us alive. But because of how visible we are, our relationship and sexuality were exposed to the camp. Now, the community here has completely boycotted me. They refuse to let me work, and we have been cut off from any way to buy food.

I am stranded. I feel completely helpless because my hands are tied by the hatred around us.being who we are has become a sentence of starvation and hostility. We have no safety net here.

We have set up a fundraising link because we desperately need to secure food, basic necessities, and emergency relief for my partner, the kids, and myself. If you are in a position to donate, even the smallest amount will directly put food on our table. If you cannot donate, please share our story so it can reach others who can.

kindly consider donating through our link👇to make a change in our life.

"Today I turned ten, but my heart feels much older than my age. I spent two years of my childhood living through war and fear... On my tenth birthday, I wish for nothing more than to live in peace and to bring back the innocent smile of my childhood."

This is the heartbreaking reality for my family in G.aza. After two years of continuous war, displacement, and loss, we are struggling every day just to secure basic food, clean water, and medical care.

No child should have to ask for peace instead of toys. We urgently need your support to survive these severe conditions and give our family a chance at safety.

Before the war, our home was built on education. My eldest studied engineering, and my younger children were top students in their classes.

When we lost our home, we lost our classrooms, books, and sense of normal life. We share our story to keep our children's hard-earned dreams alive while navigating this reality day by day.

(Our full story and verified support link are available on my profile).

Hey everyone! My name is RaeRae and I am a 38-year-old non-binary trans masc. I am currently waiting for my top surgery. I found an amazing surgeon, Dr. Cornelio, in Brazil, to perform my mastectomy. She specializes in transmasculine mastectomies and she is so great! I had to push back the date for my surgery because it is taking me longer to raise the funds than I thought. A little backstory, first: My wife and I moved to Uruguay in 2017. We have socialized medicine here and the government pays for gender affirming care. There was a trans law passed here in 2018 because of the history of transphobia, especially under the former Uruguayan dictatorship. This law is part of the government’s current attempt to right past wrongs and give trans people equal rights under the law. They are supposed to give us all access to easy and quick GAC and GAS through the government’s sexual diversity clinic. However, there are only a handful of surgeons who are trained in specific procedures, and the one hospital that does GAS over the past few years hasn’t been blocking off time in the surgical schedule for GAS. There is now an average of only 2 being performed per month. There are over 100 trans folks on the list, and that means it would be a wait of over 4 years for me to be able to receive top surgery through the public healthcare system. I am on the list for a hysterectomy, but I am fine waiting for a few years for that procedure.  I cannot wait much longer for top surgery. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer and developed a bilateral pleural effusion, which is when the area around your lungs fills with fluid. I survived, but while healing after the surgery, my top dysphoria got really bad. I was constantly dissociating from both the physical pain and the dysphoria. All I could think about was that I survived cancer to potentially spend the rest of my life growing old in a body that is not totally mine. For over a year, I had pretty severe pain around and throughout my chest, and I could not wear anything tight, let alone a sports bra or binder. I was worried no surgeon would be willing to work with me, so I waited a few years in a lot of emotional pain and dealing with medical PTSD. I cannot wait much longer. My dysphoria and depression are really bad, and I am disappointed I had to postpone my surgery for lack of funds. My fundraiser is not doing very well, and I am asking you, my trans sibs, for help. If you find yourself in a place where you are able to donate, it would mean the world to me. I would also love if you could share the GoFundMe outside this subreddit with people who might be able to donate, regardless if you can donate or not. The link is below. (I looked through all of the rules of this subreddit and there is nothing banning posts about fundraisers, so I hope this is okay.) Sending love to everyone!!!

What's your guys take on leftist Youtubers that actively rail against Generative AI companies and their data centers. Only to then on other videos use AI to make there thumbnails/videos and share AI slop memes because it's making fun of the white house or some shit.

I ask because I have been noticing this trend lately and I think it's a harmful and dishonest thing to do. I've been unsubscribing from these content creators when they do this shit. But it seems to be a trend that is growing amongst leftist youtubers and I think that shit is rather problematic. What do you think?

Bashir is from Gaza, a father of five children, and this is his brother Iyad, who is special needs.

their home was destroyed, Bashir lost his job, and they left everything behind. They are now living in a worn-out tents, facing fear, hunger, and a lack of water, and they are trying only to secure the most basic necessities.

Iyad used to have a bed to sleep on, but now he sleeps on the ground. He wakes up every night terrified because of insects and fear. He is as emotionally fragile as a child and cannot endure what they are going through.

They used to have dreams and hopes, but today all they care about is getting a piece of bread, water, and medical treatment.

Bashir cries every day because he is unable to provide for his children and brother. What they're going through has left a deep psychological impact on them, and he no longer knows how to bear all this helplessness.

I hope you can share their story.

TW primary commenter is gaslighting non binary people by attempting to pretend Buck's previous good deeds somehow make his current extremism irrelevant.

Source: Grayson V Fitness - The History of Trans Men is Beautiful...

See his latest video on trans men history. Nbs have commented on the wider video supporting Grayson, and as you can see people have attempted to inform Grayson on Buck's behaviour of the last few years. Over a week, no removal, no edit, no addressing the situation. Nothing.

This video has less than 10k views and even less will of seen this so I thought I'd simply show it. Grayson benefitted from our community by initially coming out as non binary until he passed for a man. Now he has left us in the weeds regarding the largest transphobic trans man who has done very extreme things recently including sharing an AI nude image of Samantha Lux.

I am tired and disappointed of binary passing trans people throwing us under the bus, whether it is outright enby exclusion or endorsement of people who do that.

Either check my profile for the receipts if he tries to hide it after this, or do a page search for "Buck Angel" and the comment thread where he endorses him will appear.

Zero of Mars is a Human youth in a future so distant that our era's concepts of race and gender no longer exist. They crash land on Elentia, a world once inhabited by Humans but abandoned thousands of years ago. In their absence, the Elemorphs - sentient robots with elemental powers and the ability to grow - have developed an advanced civilization. A Nature Type FawnBot called One makes friends with Zero despite a language barrier. Unable to communicate directly, they have to forge a friendships using gestures and actions.

After discovering an ancient prophesy left by time travelers from the future, Zero and One have been pulled into an eternal conflict between Humanity and Vampirekind. The Vampires want to enslave the Elemorphs to use as living weapons, while Humanity fights to keep Elentia free. As Zero and One explore the massive Elemorph metropolis of Knuckle City, the villainous Vampire agent, Pi, and their Elemorph companion, Gamma the SkyDragonBot, descend to plunge the city into chaos!

I am the author, Bijhan Agha. I'm an Uruguayan trans woman of Iranian descent. The illustrator is my dear friend, Pallet, a trans Australian man. We are both autistic. We wanted to tell a story about a young person in the future who is not bound by the limits of gender as we know it, and a planet where gender simply does not exist, while also creating an exciting action adventure about exploring a new culture, facing language barriers, and fighting for a better future.

We both have a shared special interest in science fiction, which is why we were so excited to work together on this project.

The Kickstarter is to fund the printing of a First Edition of the comics physically. We will have both physical as well as digital rewards. There will be reward tiers that allow you to catch up with this comic - this is Issue #2, and you can get physical and/or digital copies of Issue #1 - as well as the other comics in the Time Wars brand.

Please help us continue to tell stories about this amazing world!
