Queer neurodivergent transmasc in housing situation

Hi! My name is Rain. I’m a 24 year old transmasc from the western suburbs of Chicago. Right now I’m in a bit of a situation and I could really use signal boosting.

I started testosterone on June 12, 2023. I’m living with my mother and younger brother right now but ever since I began medically transitioning, my mother has gotten very harsh with me and is now heavily “suggesting” that I need to move out. She is telling me that I need to move in with my dad, and while I’m presently on better terms with my dad, I’m afraid that living with him could bring back some of the toxicity and abuse I faced living with him as a child. Therefore, I have no choice but to find somewhere else to live, and fast.

I average 30-35 hours a week working at Target. Working more than that there on the long term is very dangerous because I am mentally ill and neurodivergent and prone to burnout. Affording a place will be a challenge. I will need at least one roommate who is safe for me to live with (preferably one who is also LGBTQ+). I do not feel comfortable leaving the Chicago suburbs due to accessibility to medication and resources in the area as well as Illinois’ legislative policies regarding trans people. I do not think I can afford to live in Chicago itself, and I risk losing my father’s support (which has been crucial to getting me this far) if I move to a place he does not think is “safe”. I do however believe it is possible that I can simply transfer to a different Target store if I need to. My therapist has recommended that I check out the Oak Park area as a possible destination.

Basically, I need advice, possibly roommates and living situations, and possibly financial aid if it comes down to it. Right now though, I’m most focusing on the roommates and living situation so if you or someone you know lives in the area (especially Oak Park!) and are in need of a roommate, please reach out to me through DMs or Discord.

Thanks for reading and boosting!

Support for gay relationships dropped drastically among Republicans

A majority of Republicans now don't believe that same-sex relationships are morally acceptable...

LGBTQ Nation

as everyone warned

@redstarovermoundcity @socialistexan @meanmisscharles @dirhwangdaseul

The drop among Democrats is also concerning.

Are gay nerds on this website aware and angry about the fact that Alexander Siddig wanted to be an elf in LoTR films but he was denied because he wasn’t white

Hobbits in the books have explicitly black members. But when a Maori actress tried out for the part peter Jackson rejected her because his vision of the lord of the rings is aryan

Except the orcs, they can have dreads

Happy disability pride, but are you normal about people with visible disabilities and deformities/differences?

Do you think the actor with marfan syndrome who always plays the horror monster is scary? Do you judge your classmate with cerebral palsy who walks with a limp and always has? Do you still stare at the double amputee homeless vet you see downtown? Do you avoid eye contact with your friend’s kid who has Treacher-Collins? Do you ask a sexual partner if their hidradenitis flair is an STD? Do you ask for censorship when the scarred guy in your discord server posts photos? Do you compare the girl at the beach with pectus excavatum to “looking anorexic?” Do you ask if your fat disabled friend really is disabled or they instead just need to lose weight?

Congratulations, you might be ableist. Yes, you yourself might even be disabled as well, but if you think these ways, you are ableist.

Autism: I need this specific routine to be followed for me to be in peace and working

ADHD: I need extreme flexibility and opportunity to work on what i want in different days

AuDHD: Okay, so, i need… A general routine, like, okay, i cannot funcition without a routine, right?, But after two (2) days, i cannot function with this specific routine, i need a little change, but if it’s too much change i will literally cry right NOW

Reminder that next month is Disability Pride Month. Don’t overshadow it with your Gay Wrath Month please. Disabled people are always ignored and told to stay quiet, and I’m so sick of it.

What the fuck is this??????????

Folks: you CANNOT censor trigger tags. When you block a tag, it doesn’t block other “spellings” of it. Writing it as “r@pe” or “r4p3” means that someone who has “tw rape” as a blocked tag will still see that post because you didn’t wanna say the word rape. You are hurting people. Do not censor words, because people do not have those filtered out.

And honestly if you can’t even write the word rape to protect other people then you probably aren’t old/mature enough to be on this website.

today reddit bumped off third party apps, Elon decided you can only read 600 twitter posts a day(!?), and YouTube is banning adblockers

tumblr, held together by hope and spit, presumed dead by many, really is one of the last decent media sites left standing
