Trans women are women! Trans men are men! Nonbinary and genderqueer people are valid! Intersex people exist! My life would be severely lacking without all of my friends under the umbrella of trans identities and experiences. I see you, I love you, I treasure you. Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
I haven’t been using tumblr much recently, but for those who do follow and haven’t read it on other social media, I am now working as a measurer for a Hong Kong tailor and acting as a tailoring agent, specifically helping LGBT+ people and women in the UK (London) who have difficulty getting clothes that fit them.
Right now I am working pro bono, and since I am not taking any profit (and therefore don’t need to factor in tax), this is an opportunity to get MTM clothing at much cheaper than possible otherwise (since I don’t charge anything but have access to industry prices).
Those interested, shirts are between 20-50 pounds, suits are anywhere from 100-400 pounds, depending on tailor and material. Doesn’t include shipping, alterations, and other logistics stuff like fit guarantee and so on.
Here are some photos of clothes I’ve gotten from the HK tailors. Not all of the mare from the tailors I will be using, and it took quite a few fittings and commissions to get the fit how I wanted it, but should give some indication as to what can be done.
Anyway if you or anyone you know might be interested shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to answer any questions. I’m also happy to help as a stylist/consultant in general for dressing in menswear and buying suits, alterations, and so on, which might not be readily available.
I’m happy to give general advice and potentially help those overseas to get shirts or even suits made, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you don’t live in the UK/London either, but I will have to make it clear that without a fitting with someone who is experienced, it’d be more difficult to get a suit/jacket that fits very well.
Coming soon:MyTransHealth, an app connecting trans people to knowledgeable, reliable and affordable healthcare providers.
19% of trans people have been refused healthcare because of their gender identity. 50% of trans people have had to teach their doctors about trans-related medical care. 28% of trans people have been harassed in medical settings. This app is desperately needed. Follow them at mytranshealth.
I AM CRYING HOLY SHIT. This is so important. You know I’m serious because I am actually using these things called capitalization and punctuation. You guys. Please. Please boost the hell out of this. It means so much.
*SLAMS THE SHIT OUT OF THE REBLOG BUTTON*
omg pls make this international / not just US-centric!
We won’t rest until every trans person on the planet has access to safe, affordable, and reliable health care.
The intent of anti-trans “bathroom bills” is not to make trans women use men’s rooms, or to make trans men use women’s rooms. No one really wants that. No one is even trying to pretend that things would be okay if we used the “correct” bathrooms but still dressed and acted like ourselves.
The intent of these bills is to drive trans people out of the public space entirely.
