You don’t have to tell them 👀 old people are very stupid abt gender and likely would not notice so long as you continue to show up to holidays with andro or masc presentation

The lion sympathizes heavy, his parents are very transphobic and if he somehow found a way to medically transition, they would most likely lock him up in his house and never let him out ❤️‍🩹

This lion becomes a lioness to return home so his tuition is paid for, they don’t know they also paid for the wig I wear home to trick them

the lion relates to the potential lioness, as the lion was a lioness until his grandma died

if the lioness is anywhere near philadelphia, she should look up mazzoni center. it’s a queer health clinic that offers informed consent hrt on a sliding-scale pay basis, so it’s never unaffordable, and it’s very easy to start getting the care you need.

I never told my grandpa bcos he’s old asf and has memory issues. He’s not a problem but the amount of explaining that would have to happen just isn’t worth a few years of misgendering by one person (for me personally). He asked me if I was lesbian when I first cut my hair but there have been no questions or discussions since

Me, topless at the beach with scars from top surgery and a literal beard: My grandpa: it’s crazy the changes I’ve seen in public policy during my lifetime. When I was a kid, women were notttt allowed to be topless in public

hey you should google and call mazzoni center in philadelphia, it’s a queer health clinic that does informed-consent transition care, i.e. hrt, on a sliding-scale basis so it’s never more costly than you can afford. i get my estrogen there and it rocks.

or if calling is too big a leap (and, man, i remember how that felt) they do what’s called youth drop-in enrollment days? wednesdays between like 4:30-6:30 iirc, call them and clarify, you just walk in, fill out an intake form, and get set up with a doc through them that’ll help you get access to transition care.

speaking as a lioness who worried about those same things before i transitioned, the lioness should consider that the half-life she’s living in the closet rn isn’t really much of a life at all, that the effects of estrogen don’t really even start to show until a few months in, and that grandparents tend to be woefully unaware that you’ve done a transition. i have Tits now and my grandparents just think im a gentle man. whatever. they don’t need to know.
