Prom 2k14 with my girlfriend đ the best moment of the night was when a lesbian caterer came up to us and said âSeeing you two made my night. 10 years ago people like us wouldnât be allowed to go together. Thank youâ A memory that will last forever đ

âBig Clit Energyâ in multiple colors
here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through.Â
The Hubble Space Telescope has taken many spectacular pictures over the years, but this is one of its most well known images. It shows about 10,000 galaxies, some of which are nearly as old as the universe itself.

- practical actions that can be taken to fight internalized misogyny
Why: Are you a girl? A girlsâ night out. Going out with the girls. The cool girl speech. Do you like girls? This girl I just met⊠Why? Why do we call ourselves girls? Why do we refer to other women as girls? We are no longer children. Weâre grown-ups, out of our parentsâ houses, fending for ourselves, carving up a life and living our dreams and being depressed and sick, but also falling in love and walking in forests and meeting up for coffee. Weâre full human beings. So why do we keep calling ourselves children? Whoâs really afraid? Men? Weâre no girls, weâre full-blooded women. Calling each other girls infantilises us, destroys our credibility, makes us feel like weâre not in control, like we shouldnât be in control. Being a girl denies us agency, denies us power, makes us feel smaller than we actually are.
How: Start calling yourself what you are, a woman. At first it feels weird, a foreign word in your mouth, but bear with it. This feeling passes, it becomes easier, you settle into it. The womenâs team. The womenâs bathroom. Two women from downstairs came up the other day. Iâm attracted to women. The woman I love. Keep saying it. Youâre a woman. Youâre a young woman. Youâre an old woman. Youâre a woman whoâs eating chocolate. Youâre a woman dancing. Youâre a woman taking out the trash. Youâre a woman with short hair. Youâre a woman emptying your menstrual cup. Youâre a woman staring at the night sky. Youâre a woman curled up under your blankets. Youâre a woman walking on fallen leaves. Youâre a woman when itâs rainy; youâre a woman when the sun is out. Youâre a woman, not a girl. So are they; they are women.Â

I dunno man, I just think the constant harping about how trans men's bodies are ruined and infertile is, like, bad.
I'm less concerned about their ability to have babies than I am about them developing permanent disabilities, or being in constant pain, or becoming incontinent.
