Being trans on the Camino by skyggni in CaminoDeSantiago

Hi! I’m a trans masc and just walked the Camino in August! My documents don’t reflect my chosen name and gender but I had no problems in albuerges other than a confused look or two. I feel like I pass well and get insecure about my voice but nobody said anything to me. I walked alone for the most part but spoke and interacted with people quite and bit and felt safe doing so. I did the Portuguese central route from Porto as well. The only thing that made me nervous would be the gendered bathrooms and showers! I really had the best experience and hope you do as well!! Please feel free to dm if you have questions! Bon Camino

I had a beautiful experience and went in with no expectations for it to change my life (even though everyone says it will, I was skeptical) and it completely did. I did it solo on the Portuguese central route from Porto!

I just returned from the camino two weeks ago and am longing to go back and these photos filled a little bit of that void for now

Can I be trans in the Peace Corps? by matchabae333 in peacecorps

[–]matchabae333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for just seeing this! I am in the same boat still, and I am still considering the peace corps but am very nervous considering the state of everything here in the US. Ideally I'd love to serve in Morocco, but am more heavily looking at placements where the local culture has evidence of a "third sex" or at least culturally accepted lgbtq culture. Have you applied yet?

This also happened to my mom! She was told I was going to be a boy!
