It’s been hard for me to be in my body lately. It keeps feeling like I don’t know what I’m capable of, which makes me feel strange and alien and displaced.
Today my love told me to do some flexing, and she took these photos. She told me that she wanted me to see myself the way she sees me. I’ve never felt so loved and cared for and understood in my whole life.
i hate how conservatives (and some „radfems”) frame detransition.
This girl used to be beautiful but now... she’s manly.. she’s strange, she does not fit in, what a tragedy!
i haaaate it.
On top of being incredibly mysoginystic, it does not adress other effects of transition, like health effects, and the things that actually pushed people to transitioning in the first place! It creates more problems than it tries to adress.
Who fucking cares how you look after being on T? I don’t. You have more body hair, a different fat distribution? Great! That’s not the reason people should be critical of transitioning!

I firmly believe that how feminist a book is is better demonstrated by its background characters rather than its mains
Tip for my followers:
If you want the large pockets of men's pants, but think you're too curvy to fit into regular men's jeans, try looking into men's joggers instead. They're wider in the hips, have the pockets you're looking for, and still come in all different types: jeans, cargos, chinos, sweats, etc to suit your style/needs.
Hope this helps someone :)
Medusa with the Head of Perseus, Luciano Garbati, 2008
These two galaxies are very far away, 12 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Great Bear. On the left, with grand spiral arms and bright yellow core is M81. It’s a spiral galaxy measuring in at about 100,000 light-years across. On the right marked by red gas and dust clouds, is M82, an irregular galaxy.
The pair have been locked in gravitational combat for a billion years. During each close encounter, gravity from each galaxy has insanely affected the other. Their last go-round lasted about 100 million years and likely raised density waves rippling around M81, resulting in the richness of it’s spiral arms. M82 was left with violent star forming regions and colliding gas clouds so energetic the galaxy actually glows in X-rays.
In the next few billion years, their continuing gravitational encounters will finally result in a merger, and only a single galaxy will remain. Image Credit & Copyright: Dietmar Hager, Torsten Grossmann
P.S. I hope everyone is staying safe in quarantine 💛
