A little wicked family time 🧙

05/12/2024

Navigating the holidays as a trans person can bring a mix of emotions — joy, anxiety, or even stress, depending on your circumstances and the dynamics of your family AND social circles. Here are some strategies to help you prioritize your well-being and make the holidays as affirming and comfortable as possible:

1. Set Boundaries Ahead of Time

Communicate Expectations: If you're spending time with family or friends, consider setting boundaries before gatherings. For example:

Ask them to use your correct name and pronouns.

Let them know topics you are uncomfortable discussing (e.g., your transition, politics).

Plan an Exit Strategy: Have a plan for leaving if things become overwhelming. Drive yourself, arrange transportation, or stay with supportive friends.

2. Prepare for Missteps or Challenging Conversations

Decide How to Respond: Think about how you want to handle moments when someone misgenders you, uses your deadname, or makes hurtful comments. Options could include:

Gently correcting them: “Actually, my name is [your name], and I use [your pronouns].”

Redirecting the conversation: “Let’s focus on something more festive, like [topic].”

Walking away if it feels unsafe or emotionally taxing.

Lean on Allies: If someone in your family is affirming, ask them to advocate for you in difficult situations so you’re not always the one educating or defending yourself.

3. Practice Self-Care

Take Breaks: It’s okay to step away from the crowd if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Find a quiet spot to breathe, call a friend, or center yourself.

Do What Brings You Joy: Incorporate activities that make you feel good, whether it’s watching your favorite holiday movies, baking treats, or listening to music you love.

Limit Exposure to Negativity: If social media or family interactions become overwhelming, take breaks to protect your mental health.

4. Affirm Yourself

Embrace Your Authenticity: Wear clothes that make you feel confident and aligned with your gender, even if you’re just spending the day at home.

Affirm Your Identity: Practice self-affirming exercises, such as journaling or looking in the mirror and reminding yourself of your strength and worth.

5. Prepare for Emotional Highs and Lows

Acknowledge Your Feelings: It’s okay to feel sad, angry, or disappointed if family members don’t meet your expectations. Allow yourself space to process these emotions.

Reach Out for Help: If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to seek support. LGBTQIA+-friendly hotlines and online communities can provide comfort and guidance.

Trans Lifeline: 877-565-8860 (provides peer support for trans individuals)

Trevor Project: 866-488-7386 (LGBTQIA+ youth support)

LGBTQIA+ Helpline through Alliance Health (NC-based resource): 800-510-9132

6. Find Strength in the Bigger Picture

Celebrate Your Journey: Remind yourself of the progress you’ve made in living as your authentic self. That’s something worth honoring, especially during the holidays.

Lean on Affirming Resources: Seek out trans-specific podcasts, books, or online forums that can offer inspiration, connection, and hope.

7. Know It’s Okay to Say No

If a gathering feels unsafe or overly stressful, it’s okay to skip it. Your mental health and well-being are more important than fulfilling others’ expectations.

❤ ❤ Remember, the holidays are about connection and joy—but that doesn’t mean sacrificing your comfort or authenticity. Whether you spend the season surrounded by loved ones or enjoying a quiet, self-focused celebration, prioritize what feels right for you. You are valid, worthy, and deserving of love and happiness. ❤
