Happy Pride Month everyone!
This month is especially important to folks like me so allow me to introduce myself to the new folks on the neighborhoods here!
Hi, I'm Melrose, I'm a transmasc pagan mother of a young cis son. I love to do art, toy with AI and help people better understand what being transgender is like as well as providing support to my peeps! I'm neurodiverse (AuAdhd) and a trauma survivor. Rock on people! ❤️ :transpride: 🏳️‍🌈

To be in the know, there's a ton of misinformation spun up by hate groups and religious groups nation wide, and I took in the unofficial shield to help my folks find safe states for residential living as well as other resources for those in domestic violence situations. If you want to help people in really threatening situations there's a coulple organizations I can recommend donating to or offering to volunteer with!

rainbowpassage.org/
rainbowrailroad.org/
Both of these organizations are dedicated to helping transport families that are in dangerous states to save states or sanctuary states for children and adults that are transgender that need to receive transgender care. These organizations are in dire need of support both in volunteer services as well as donations. Every little bit counts.

If you're unfamiliar with the situation right now, there is legislature across the country that is basically trying to ban our existence. Something that everyone deserves is to live a life at home with their own bodies. Dysphoria is a condition That leads one to basically hate the body they were born with and want to change it to adapt to the gender that they identify with the most.

I personally am transmasc but I identify as a demiman. What this means is that I do have some feminine attributes, but I am preferable to being a man in identity. I don't mind being called a she her or he him. They is is a comfortable Middle ground if that's okay, but that's my preferred pronouns. I'm in the process of transitioning. I'm in my mid-40s and the only reason I didn't transition sooner is because my birth family had traumatized me into the closet.

@PaganMother I am your ally. I chair a hospital community advisory board that works with trans patients & community. I have found that most people who are trying to legislate trans folks out of existence have never met anyone who is trans. I've gotten to know dozens of trans folks through my work & they're just... people. All sorts of personalities & professions & views. Just. People. We need to do better.

Happy Pride! 🩷🤍🩵 🏳️‍🌈

@Sheree Thank you so much for standing up for us. It's hard and emotionally draining for a lot of us to be able to do it for ourselves.
