No porque no exprese la feminidad (hegemónica) significa que soy menos mujer.

Crazy Idea:

All females should be able to safely exist shirtless when the situation is necessary or comfortable. We should be able to do this without being sexualized.

I have nothing but the utmost love and respect for my sisters who have had mastectomies, but I am side-eyeing the hell out of the many, many women I see lately talking about getting top surgery just so that they can be shirtless outside.

Listen up, friends. We should fight for a new world, instead. We should fight for spaces where the female body can embrace as much freedom as the male body is regularly allowed to have without gross sexualization. We have the right to bare chests. Liberating yourself from the mindset of “not being able to be shirtless” because you have breasts might just be the best thing you ever do for yourself. Your breasts don’t hold you back from this experience - society’s expectation for what those breasts mean is what holds you back. It’s not physical, it’s cultural, and every Woman deserves to be able to to be bare chested without being in danger.

The Tarantula Nebula

You can never escape creepy crawly spiders, not even in the endless vacuum of space. One hundred and eighty thousand light-years away, the Tarantula Nebula is waiting for you to fall into its starry web.

Oh, am I taking a lot of shirtless photos lately? I’m mostly just asserting the normality of the naked female body. It’s gotten real hip and trendy in our community right now to talk about “not being defined by gender.” I understand the sentiment; we’ve all been fed a lot of shit about what it means to be female, to be a woman, for so long that it just seems to be inherently true instead of fabricated by patriarchal society. I can understand wanting to stand strong, be seen, and say “these assumptions do not hold true for me.” The problem is, when that’s framed as the individual being “not defined by gender” or simply not being female, it throws other females under the bus. It says “I am not this way, but this is true about women, so therefore I am not woman and not defined by being a woman.” I’m gonna stand here instead and say that I manifest my own reality, but my reality and manifestation are not in any way limited by the fact that I am female. I refuse to conform to these bullshit expectations the same as I refuse to throw the female sex under the bus by claiming separation from my sisters. I see the strength in all of you, I see your determination and perseverance and willpower. I stand with you, in solidarity, always ✌🏻️

⛅️ Tips For Letting Go of Performative Feminity ⛅️

learn about your external body. look up the functions of leg and armpit hair, and pores, and brows. You're less likely to want to strip away these aspects if you know their purpose.

Also look at the potential harm that high heels, bleach, etc. can cause to your skin, hair, psychology, and general health

donate, recycle or throw out potentially harmful products such as razors, wax strips, cosmetics, heels etc. I would recommend getting rid of one thing at a time, and easing yourself out of it

find pictures or videos of woman without any cosmetic treatment or at all. Notice the ways in which they are beautiful and important without regulating their appearance

practice remaining mindful whilst self grooming. If some part of your practice is exhausting to you, or you don't know why you do it, or it's solely for other people and not plesant, give yourself permission to discard it

say something kind and supportive to yourself in the morning when you look in the mirror, before you've gotten ready.

learn to embrace change- from fluctuations in your skin to the tangling of your hair to the arrival of your period- you are an organic being, and are not supposed to always look exactly one way
