Nails by Nic: Accio! Harry Potter House Pride Manicure
If your heart is feeling empty and you want others to help you fill it, don’t buy into that story! You are never empty. If you feel sad or disconnected, that’s an indication of how much love and desire you are full of that you want to share.

Sometimes a trip to the mall is necessary. Maybe you need to try on 18 pairs of the same pant only to find out that somehow in your absence from retail your body type has been discontinued.
We’re inching closer and closer to breaking the record of reported murders of trans people that was set last year. Every time it seems like we’re finally falling behind last year’s pace, another trans person is murdered and we’re right back in this awful situation again. Rest in peace and rest in power, Skye.
Grieving a friend lost to suicide in childhood, the effects of harmful compulsory masculinity, and looking around at a life that could just barely have been imagined then.
The Absolute Worst Thing A Boy Could Ever Be
Barb’s style is “I’ve got really strict parents who don’t let me wear anything too scandalous but I read Vogue religiously.” We only see her in two outfits, but they leave an impression. Barb isn’t afraid to play with patterns; the first time we see her, she’s wearing a plaid blouse. Who does that?? Barb does, and it works. She’s also all about embracing her femme side with lots of frills, pink, and perfectly swooped bangs. She’s everything I wanted to be in high school but wasn’t. Barb’s outfits look effortless — like she just threw something on and didn’t take every single item out of her dresser that morning before deciding on a mediocre pair of leggings and a t-shirt.

WE DID IT!!
OUR Restroom is a real thing, because of you.
Last night we completed our fundraising campaign and exceeded our goal by over $300, and we are so, so excited! We cannot thank you all enough for your support of this work, and for your belief in and commitment to creating safer spaces for people of all genders.
This success will affect real, actual changes in businesses across this country and, eventually, throughout the world. What’s more, seeing the capacity to fundraise for this initiative signals how many of us are ready for these changes, are aware of the need for collective, driven work to ensure that they happen.
Stay tuned (you can follow us here on Tumblr, as well as on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!) as we work this month to launch our website, and as we begin to do outreach to more & more OUR Restroom ambassadors!
HELL YES!
