Hello….. I’m A Bit Nervous Because I’ve Never Really Interacted With Radfems As A Dysphoric Person

I refuse to be ashamed of letting my body hair be visible. Someone says “you don’t shave your legs?!” I say “Of course not.” Especially if a man says it to me. I’d say “Why, do you?” Fuck that. I will not pretend it’s my problem to exist in my natural state. I will make sure people know they’re the ones in the wrong for trying to make me change.

Dropping some unneeded body fat and building muscle 💪🏻

Do you ever just sit there and wonder how different your childhood would have been if you weren’t raised in a homophobic family?

me age 12: oh god i missed a two millimeter spot of hair when i shaved i guess i’ll go to the beach in five layers of clothing so no one notices

me now: Hello friends it is i Bigfoot #confirmed

look at andromache and quynh’s costumes in the old guard. because we should totally talk about it and how these characters aren’t sexualized one bit during the entire film. no breast plates. no thigh high slits. no bare midriffs. just warriors wearing clothes designed to protect them in a fight. clothes that represents their character, their origin, not designed to please the male gaze. this is why we need more women in the industry. the old guard is directed by a black woman, produced by women, and has strong lead female characters. support.

High-resolution images of Pluto taken by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft.

The plains on Pluto’s surface are composed of more than 98 percent nitrogen ice, with traces of methane and carbon monoxide. Nitrogen and carbon monoxide are most abundant on the anti-Charon face of Pluto (around 180° longitude, where Tombaugh Regio’s western lobe, Sputnik Planitia, is located), whereas methane is most abundant near 300° east. The mountains are made of water ice. Pluto’s surface is quite varied, with large differences in both brightness and color. Pluto is one of the most contrastive bodies in the Solar System, with as much contrast as Saturn’s moon Iapetus. The color varies from charcoal black, to dark orange and white. Pluto’s color is more similar to that of Io with slightly more orange and significantly less red than Mars. Notable geographical features include Tombaugh Regio, or the “Heart” (a large bright area on the side opposite Charon), Cthulhu Macula, or the “Whale” (a large dark area on the trailing hemisphere), and the “Brass Knuckles” (a series of equatorial dark areas on the leading hemisphere). Sputnik Planitia, the western lobe of the “Heart”, is a 1,000 km-wide basin of frozen nitrogen and carbon monoxide ices, divided into polygonal cells, which are interpreted as convection cells that carry floating blocks of water ice crust and sublimation pits towards their margins; there are obvious signs of glacial flows both into and out of the basin. It has no craters that were visible to New Horizons, indicating that its surface is less than 10 million years old.

Enough of the thin, conventionally attractive sex goddesses. Enough. Stop reducing multifaceted goddesses to sex alone. Stop reducing them to beauty. To homemaking. To some appeal to the pathetic, predatory tastes of men.

I want to see sex goddesses who are powerful and brawny, strong of arm and broad of shoulder. I want to see goddesses of beauty who are round like the moon, goddesses of beauty with short hair and a square jaw and scars. If she is a goddess of war, why do you depict her as frail and thin, unable to defend herself? She may have power beyond the physical, but why do you assume she would stoop so low as to allow herself to wither away to the skeletal thinness men find so attractive? (Hint: it's only attractive to them because it makes her helpless, easier to control.) Why do you dress her in lace and lingerie? If she is a goddess of beauty, of desire, she has no need to strip herself of her clothing to draw the eye. Put clothes on her, treat her with respect, don't degrade her to some sex object for the male gaze. Why put her in heels? Why cake her glorious countenance in filthy makeup? She has no need of such contraptions, and neither do you.

I want to see goddesses that do not appeal to the eyes of men, goddesses who do not bow to their whims and desires, goddesses who are strong like an oak and tall and powerful, goddesses who are dressed practically.

If you choose only to depict these goddesses as weak and delicate things, you choose to invite her wrath, for you are denigrating her.
