we need to figure this out now can yall please tag where ur from (if ur american please for the love of god tag the country i dont know what a connecticut is) and whether or not you have a dryer + think having a dryer in your house is like a normal thing
okay so far what weve learned is that every american has a dryer and posh british people think every british person has a dryer
#polish#absolutely not#you mean like a dryer for clothes right? bc ye we do have like hair dryers obv.#but the only time i've seen an electric dryer was at some bullshit student appartement that was just a normal one divided into the smallest#rooms possible so no way you could dry your clothes normally + you're living with like 5 strangers#it was also extremely expensive#things like that are becoming a norm slowely tho and its terrifying tbh#god i hate landlords#but no we dry our clothes like god wanted us to on a suszarka

getting teary eyed thinking about gerda gottlieb's paintings of her wife after she transitioned
thing is, for a lot of these paintings it wasn’t “after” lily elbe’s transition. there was no after to it. the one op posted was painted in 1928. this was 2 years before lily legally changed her name and began undergoing revolutionary gender affirming procedures. unfortunately she died due to complications of an experimental uterine transplant in 1931.
up until that point, during the day lily continued to dress in masculine clothing and even attended galleries showing gottlieb’s paintings of her. which was kind of iconic. she got to stand in a room full of people who were marveling her beauty, not knowing she was right next to them. it must have been such a cute little secret for them as a couple.
here’s gerda and lilly together
not to mention that for most people there is no real “after” to a transition. especially for these trans historical figures who had to balance identity and safety at all times.
i think having a wife paint these portraits must have felt really amazing for lily. to be able to see herself through the eyes of someone who loved her. i’m very much seconding op on the getting teary eyed.
here are some of my favorite gottleib lily paintings
