💙 5 Tips for Taking Care of your Trans Self 💙

Many of us will spend these next few days with folks who either don’t know much about, or don’t respect, our identities.

In order to combat some of these issues, we’ve come up with these 5 handy tips for protecting yourself from uncomfortable interactions through the holidays. It’s a bit of a mixed bag—some of it might really work for you, some might not, and some might need a bit of tweaking to work properly. The most important thing is for you to put yourself first, do what you can to stay safe.

Hopefully, though, with the right set of tools, we can make the holidays easier to navigate.

And if at any time you feel you need someone to talk to, QLife will be open over the holidays from 3pm to midnight every day over the public holiday period. You can call them on 1800 184 527, or find their online chat by heading to qlife.org.au.

[Image ID: a graphic image with a pale pink and blue gradient background. The text on each image reads as follows:

Image 1: Surviving the silly season. 5 tips for taking care of your trans self these holidays.

Image 2: Safety First. You are entitled to bring people into your gender identity or sexuality whenever this feels safe and good for you personally. If this is the time – that’s excellent.

But for some, revealing our truth can compromise safety, stability and maybe even connections to family that you might value. If this isn’t the right time for you, you don’t have to sacrifice yourself for some cis/hetero family member’s enlightenment. If you have other supportive relatives you can trust who may be around, reach out to them with your concerns beforehand to ask for extra support around antagonistic family members, and to help in situations that might be distressing to you.

But ultimately do what’s best for you and will keep you safe.

As Twenty10 is closed over the end of year break,

As Twenty10 is closed over the end of year break, we'll be sharing some little thoughts, ideas, and resources that might come in handy for folks trying to navigate this time of year💖

The end of year holidays may or may not leave many of us feeling great around this time of year. Some folks might feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, sad, or frustrated.

Just know that you are not alone, and that not everyone needs to buy into this Judeo-Christian capitalist hype 😉

[Image ID: 7 graphic images with a pastel pink green and yellow gradient background, some illustrations and text on top. The text on each slide reads as follows:

Image 1: Surviving the Silly Season. Some thoughts for LGBTQIA+ folks on end of year holidays. A guide by Twenty10

Image 2: Don't swallow the hype. For many of us, the things represented by this holiday period is emotional, painful, and triggering. And for others it's a fun time to reconnect.

Reflect on what's important for you at this time of year - and if you don't want to participate, that's great! You're not alone.

Image 3: Stay active! Getting enough exercise, oxygen, and fresh air are really great things to do - and a great thing to achieve!

Depending on your energy it might be simply spending more time in a different part of your home, or doing a little rearranging!

Image 4: Start new traditions! If Christmas isn't relevant to you, or holds painful associations, create your own way of enjoying this well deserved break in ways that suit you.

Hang out in a park, take some time to look after your plants, or see friends you haven't seen in a while!

Image 5: Be aware of your family dynamics. Sometimes surviving big holiday periods can be about finding ways to shorten or eliminate experiences that make you feel bad, especially when you're around family and even friends.

Be aware of how your family and even friends affect you, and consider how you can actively take some "me time" breaks to reconnect with yourself, your interests, and the things you love.

🎈 7 Tips for LGBTIQA+ folks to party safely thi

🎈 7 Tips for LGBTIQA+ folks to party safely this season🎈

The silly season is often a time of get togethers, parties & lots of expectation to celebrate! That being said, some things to consider as a young LGBTQIA+ person:

If you’re going out on the scene (or anywhere), here are a few things you can do to help you and your friends stay safe.

And if at any time you feel you need someone to talk to, QLife will be open over the holidays from 3pm to midnight every day over the public holiday period. You can call them on 1800 184 527, or find their online chat by heading to qlife.org.au.

[Image ID: a series of graphic images with a bright magenta yellow and purple gradient background featuring various illustrations and text. The text on the slides reads as follows

Slide 1: Surviving the silly season. 7 tips for LGBTQIA+ folks to party safely this season

Slide 2: don't forget covid is still about! Covid-19 is still circulating out in the community. Consider whether you need to wear a mask, take a rapid antigen test, or skip out on busy events based on your own personal health and those around you.

Slide 3: be aware of your intake. Take care to know how much you're drinking/taking, how, and what you're taking.
If you have questions about their effects and what may happen when you drink or take more than one drug at a time, talk to a Youth Worker or check ReachOut.

If you have questions about a friend or family member’s drug or alcohol use, you can call the Family Drug Support Help Line 1300 368 186 (24 Hrs).

Slide 4: be aware of homophobia and transphobia. Unfortunately in the context of increased hate and bigotry, it's important to be aware of possible hate, homophobia, and transphobia when you're out on the street and in clubs.

Communicate with pals where you are and what your plans are. If you're moving betwen venues, try not to do so alone - get some friends to come with you.
