article: Due to the increasing amount of information about transgender people, you may have already heard some information about what being transgender is. Transgender people have a gender that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth. For example, a girl might have been thought to be a boy. Gender is determined in your mind and heart, not by your anatomy. If you really feel like a girl, you are a girl. It's just that not everyone knows it. Some transgender people compare it to being born in the wrong body. Others feel comfortable with their bodies. For example, a trans boy might say that because he is a boy, that makes his body a boy's body. If the label of "boy" doesn't seem right, but "girl" doesn't fully fit either, you may be nonbinary. If someone is nonbinary, their gender is a gender that doesn't fully fit "male" or "female". While there are many nonbinary genders, here are some of the more common ones: Genderfluid people may switch genders from time to time. For example, maybe that means being a boy yesterday, a girl today, and agender tomorrow. Demiboys/demigirls only partially fit the label of "girl" or "boy." Agender people have no gender. Some people don't totally understand what it means to be transgender or nonbinary, and come up with a lot of silly ideas about them. Oftentimes, transgender or nonbinary people are said to just be gay; however, these are not the same. Being gay means that you get crushes on people of your gender, and being transgender means that your gender doesn't match your assigned sex. If you feel like you're a girl, you're probably transgender, not gay. Of course, transgender and nonbinary people can be gay or bisexual, as well. You can be a girl who likes girls, or a nonbinary person who likes girls. There's nothing wrong with that, either. Imagine yourself in 10 years: being a man and being called "him", being a woman and being called "her", and being nonbinary with a different pronoun such as "they" or "sie." Which one sounds the most comfortable, fun, or exciting? Try looking in a mirror and saying, "I am a [boy/girl/nonbinary gender]". Which one feels best to you, and feels right? It is okay to be a guy who likes feminine things, if that's what you turn out to be. Whether you're a boy who likes pink or a boy who likes to cross-dress, that's okay. You don't have to match narrow gender roles. You don't have to be 100% traditionally feminine in order to be a real girl. Some girls like baseball, superheroes, and wearing pants. If you think you're a trans girl, this doesn't invalidate your gender. Take as much time as you need to in order to figure things out. There's never any rush to know who you are. As well-meaning as other people may be, you are the only one who can figure out who you are. Don't let somebody else tell you whether or not you're a girl, nonbinary, or a boy - only you can know what your gender is. Even the people who know you best can be wrong about how you feel inside.

Put your shirt in the water for 3-5 minutes. Remove your shirt from the bowl and gently squeeze out any excess water. Fill another large bowl with lukewarm water for rinsing. Add 23 tablespoons (3044mL) of white vinegar to the rinse water. Place your shirt in the rinse water and gently stir it for 1-2 minutes. Repeat the rinsing process without vinegar."
article: Even if the care label on the shirt does not say that it's dry-clean only, it's a good idea to test the material and make sure it won't be damaged by water. Take the corner of a white towel or washcloth and wet it slightly in the sink, then gently dab the shirt in an inconspicuous place, like the armpit or under the collar. If any color comes away on the towel, your shirt should be dry-cleaned. Be careful not to rub the silk with the towel, as it may damage the fabric. Make sure the bowl is large enough that you will be able to submerge the entire shirt once it's full. Keep the water tepid or a little on the cool side. Look for soaps or detergents that are labeled "mild" or "sensitive," as they will typically have a lower pH. Silk is very delicate, and harsh soaps can be harmful to the fibers. It's also a good idea to avoid any added fragrances or dyes. Gently stir the shirt around in the water with your hand, being careful not to rub the fabric. Do this for a couple minutes, then let it sit. Make sure your shirt is not in the water for more than a total of 5 minutes. Squeeze the shirt in your hands until it stops dripping continuously. Be careful not to twist or wring it. You can empty the original bowl and use it again, but make sure you've rinsed any soap residue out of the bowl before you fill it with rinse water. This will help neutralize any leftover soap, and keep the residue from damaging your shirt. It will also help neutralize any odors that may have been in the shirt. Again, be careful not to rub or wring the fabric as you swirl it in the water. This should remove any soap residue left in the fibers. Remove the shirt from the water and gently squeeze out any excess moisture, then place it in a clean bowl of water for a final rinse. You can add a few drops of hair conditioner to this rinse water to keep the fabric soft and add a pleasant smell.
