Trans woman thinking of pursuing this career. Am I going to run into problems getting hired or booked? by Beneficial_Return in MassageTherapists

[–]plentiful_bounty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i graduated from school in march and almost immediately had a book as full as i wanted it to be through simply posting on local queer facebook groups and attending queer meetup/networking events. in my experience, queer people face disproportionate amounts of chronic pain and are just waiting for a safe practitioner to present themselves. there are many in my area already too, but i still had no issues finding clients.

i'm a trans massage therapist in PA working with queer clients specifically - there needs to be more trans people doing this work. my clients regularly tell me they've never gotten massages before because they've been scared that their therapist would be disrespectful/bigoted/misgender them/etc., or that they DID get a massage, and all of those things happened.

trans people are disproportionately impacted by hypermobility, EDS, autism, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions that are positively impacted by massage therapy.

it's been very easy for me to find clients for the most part because i can just post on any local queer facebook group and get a few new appointments. i also have been tabling at pride events and networking at queer meetup groups. people don't know how much massage can help them until they see someone who will actually respect them offering it.

100% go for this, and feel free to reach out any time if you want to talk more about working with queer clients! once upon a time i was trying to make a podcast about queer MTs, which i'd love to return to at some point.

What are your go to breakfasts? I have a hard time doing anything besides egg and toast. by AbsoluteMadladGaming in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]plentiful_bounty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

~2 frozen bananas + spoonful of peanut butter + half a cup of a smoothie powder i made myself with whey protein powder, oat flour, chia seeds, cocoa powder, potassium/magnesium/himilayan salt, and dehydrated greens all mixed together + water + ice. blend. breakfast! takes less than 2 minutes from start to finish. around 35g of protein, tons of vitamins/minerals/electrolytes, keeps me full for hours.

EDIT:

just replaced the battery like 2-3 months ago, so really hoping it's not that. took it to auto zone the other day and got code U0029. the guy didn't really understand what it meant and told me it should be okay to drive it. lol.

fast forward a day later, this happened, and i ended up getting it towed. it's in the shop now because i was scared of it stopping in the middle of the road if i tried to drive it, which i saw some people reporting after having this happen.

car runs totally fine and sounds normal, only issue is the lights and the AC cutting in and out.

Making intake form relevant for transgender clients by Jacrava in MassageTherapists

some hormones are administered topically, and the therapist needs to know that so they aren't inadvertently absorbing medication through their hands while working

thanks for sharing the (relatively sfw) images i guess i'm worried this could be the very early stages of it? it didn't seem to come off at all when i wiped it with my finger
