fun fact nonbinary ppl with boobs, nonbinary ppl who like their boobs, and nonbinary ppl who want boobs are cool and valid and just as nonbinary as ppl w flat chests and deserve to have a good time all the time
please reblog this its important
Non binary does not equal vaguely masculine
I saw this on fuckyeahmixedbeauty and didn’t see anywhere where I could reblog it and believe me I looked. This image is not mine but I needed it on my blog.
Don’t talk shit about people’s teeth. Seriously.
Speaking as a major dental hygiene enthusiast…
Great-looking teeth come from two things: luck and money (which is also a function of luck).
Regardless, don’t be an asshole. Not even very attractive teeth look good on those.
I’ve NEVER seen a post like this and I’m thrilled TBH because I’m very insecure about my teeth and there is literally one reason they are not nice and that is money so I’m literally down for teeth positivity
Two of my front teeth are chipped in ways that I constantly get self-conscious about. Please don’t mock people’s teeth.
every time you ridicule a nasty person’s appearance there is chance it’s going to reach a vulnerable person who sees themselves in their features
This. It really frustrates me when someone is being problematic and then people start attacking their looks. Like go ahead and call out the person for bad behavior all you want but when you start making it about their appearance you become part of the problem.
The massive downside to meaningful action on climate change is that if global warming is false were left with a clean environment and a sustainable economic model. What a bummer
masculine trans girls are as beautiful as they want to be. beauty isn’t everyone’s goal. if cis girls are allowed to wear baseball caps and jerseys and jeans, so are trans girls. short or buzzed hair doesn’t stop you from being a girl. it’s cool to be a cis tomboy, which means it’s cool to be a trans tomboy. anyone who says you’ve gotta be hyper-feminine to affirm your gender? they can go get fucked. you don’t have to conform to gender roles. you don’t have to be beautiful. you are you, and you are a wonderful woman.
“stop forcing your sexuality onto characters!!!!!!!”
……. u do know that immediately assuming that a character is straight is also forcing your sexuality onto a character……..
how to radically improve ur experience on tumblr.com:
i noticed that alot of LBGT kids feel like they have to tell their friends and family that theyre LBGT. even if theyll be rejected
and i want to remind u all that nobody is entitled to knowing your romantic, sexual or gender orientations. nobody. you have no moral obligation to share that information if youre not comfortable with doing so
youre not “lying” by not telling people or “hiding”. cause its honestly no ones business but your own
you come out on your own terms when you feel safe and comfortable doing so!! or you can come out to a few trusted people if you want before telling a larger group
dont feel like you owe that information to anyone ok??
Also if you’re mentally ill and someone with dpd tells you that you’re their depended & you can’t handle that, you aren’t ableist. Don’t let some asshole try to tell you you’re ableist for not being able to handle having to make every decision for another person.
You’re also not ableist if you can’t handle being imprinted on by someone with a cluster b personality disorder
It’s like anything else where you just need to communicate it. It’s also perfectly fine if you’re initially okay with it and then realize you can’t handle it! It’s not a fun conversation to have, but all you can do is communicate that you can’t handle that, and do what you need to in order to be safe. As someone with DPD, I would much rather you straight up tell me, so that I can work on trying to cut the dependency, than to find out after the fact that someone I care so deeply about was messing themselves up for my sake.
It’s not ableist, it’s not bad. You are not bad. DPD and cluster b personalities can be a LOT to handle as a depended or someone who is imprinted on. You always, always have the right to say no.
This is such a good addition thank you so much
this goes for any relationship where the person is relying on you even if it’s like, a healthy amount of reliance, because if you can’t handle that you need to set boundaries and you can also like, make it a more mutual thing… or just period like if your friend comes up to you w some heavy shit you can just say “i can’t handle this right now i’m sorry”
hey kids
you know why I like redemption narratives? because a redemption narrative says: no matter how broken or wrong or bad or stupid or ridiculous or harmful or sad or terrible, you can atone.
there is still a road back. it might be rocky and steep, complicated and messy. walking it may take all your life. you may lose your foothold, slip and fall back into the abyss, but the wall is still there. the ascent is still there. hard is not the same as impossible.
you are never too far gone. you are never beyond saving.
No two women have the same experience. All feminism is founded not on actual essential unity, but on political coalition and affirmation of shared political needs and goals.
Race, culture, class, birth assignment, religion, and countless other factors mean all women experience womanhood differently. Excluding trans women because we have a different life experience misses the point that all women have different life experiences. This idea isn’t even new, its not even specific to trans women, its literally the point Crenshaw and Collins and Mohanty and countless other woc and third world feminists have been making for decades now.
acne on your back and chest is perfectly normal and okay pass it on
Listen up gaybies, because this is important:
It’s that time of year again and you’re going to be seeing a lot of post going around warning young straight girls away from much older men and boys that take a sudden interest as if this is a problem unique to cishet people.
You may think you’re more mature than your straight or cis peers. Maybe you are. And you may also feel like there are no romantic opportunities for you with people your own age. This might also, unfortunately, be true at the moment.
But I’m telling you right now you have just as much reason to be wary of much older people taking an interest in you and I would be very, very careful with them.
I know it gets better feels like bullshit. I know no one wants to wait around for a perfect fit when they feel alone or misunderstood. But you deserve a supportive and healthy experience as much as your non-lgbtqia+ counterparts.
Please take care of yourself.
‘It’s just a word’ is a fairly common protest when I point out problematic language. It’s frustrating, because the truth is that language, power, society, and structural discrimination are deeply entwined. As someone who has studied linguistics and social information practices, I can absolutely speak to the fact that language is a powerful and insidious tool for keeping people down, whether it’s hissed at you by a passerby on the street, or spray-painted on your house, or used jokingly by your peers, or used to describe you in legislation, the language that describes and defines us has consequences that ripple through our lives, right down to our bones.
The flip side of this is that when you’re aware of the power of words, it becomes important to be able to take control of that power by self defining and reclaiming language. People get weirdly upset at ‘made up words’ for gender and sexual orientation without understanding the history of criminalizaing, pathologizing, misinterpretation, and discrimination that the ‘normal’ words carry. We are aware of this power, and we’re using the power of language to self-identify. Apparently that’s very threatening.
“it’s only a word” - so, it won’t be a big deal for you to stop using it, right? Right?
