An important reminder for this Trans Day of Visibility: If you cannot be out and visible right now for any reason, whether for safety due to the increasingly dangerous legislation being passed or for other reasons, please remember that you are still here, you are still real, and you still matter.

Every woman I have ever loved is still working out how to love herself. Has a closetful of ghosts and has been to a hundred funerals of the women she used to be. Wonders what wounds her mother carries that she will never know about. Hopes that the weight of the world doesn't eventually crush her, that she is strong enough to handle it all. Wishes a day will come when she can put it all down, give her aching shoulders a rest. Wants someone to truly see her and not make a feast of her kindness and dreams. Is forever hiding a secret hunger for what calls to her in the dark. Holds a universe inside her, but has been told to make herself smaller despite the paradox. Praise be that universes are not in the business of listening to anyone but themselves. Every woman I have loved has thought about it. The art of disappearing. To be here one day, and the next, like smoke, simply gone.

Different love languages:

  • Knowing someone's coffee/food order
  • "Saw this and thought of you" texts
  • Falling asleep on their shoulder
  • "Drive safe" and "text me when you get home"
  • Having nicknames for eachother

oh btw just in case nobody ever told you. just because your life looks different than you thought it would doesn't mean that your life is bad or wrong or disappointing or less than. sometimes things aren't good or bad. sometimes they're just different

Feminism isn't "Women vs Men"

Feminism is "Us vs The Patriarchy"

And "Us" includes everyone.

the patriarchy is the men btw.

No, it's not. The patriarchy is a system. Women can also enforce the patriarchy. Women can be and often are misogynistic and sexist.

Understanding the difference between a hierarchical system and individual human beings should be feminism 101.

Hey btw shout out to everyone with hooded eyelids, monolids, epicanthic folds, and other similar types of eyes. I promise you do not need surgery to “fix” your eyes. You do not need big open eyes to be beautiful! Small eyes are lovely, dark eyes are lovely, thin eyes are lovely, no matter what white Eurocentric beauty standards tell you! You are perfect with the eyes you were born with. Your ancestors look on you with love and see themselves in your face.
