my real opinion is that if you feel like you have to write a paragraph of apology on a public social media site because you were offline longer than eight hours, because you accidentally reblogged something, or because you’ve changed fandoms or anything of that ilk, then your experience online is not healthy for you. you don’t have to hold yourself to imaginary standards set by strangers that you’ll most likely never interact with. if it gets to that level, step away from being online. find yourself again and do things that aren’t digital validation. i promise you it’s a thousand times less stressful and better for you to learn how to manage your online presence properly.
If you have the means to donate gifts to toy drives or shelters, please keep the above tips in mind so you can help meet people’s wants and needs! 💓
Just gonna go ahead and plug one of my fave charities, since it has a lot of these elements and you can fulfill what kids asked for! Especially now that the holidays are coming around:
It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.
Transphobes talk about women like they’re Barbies. Have you forgotten the existence of cameltoe? Tiny boobs? Narrow hips? Broad shoulders? Why do you think choirs have altos and not just sopranos? What do you think female athletes look like? Do you think a woman that lifts weights and plays contact sports will look like a 90s supermodel? At what point in history did we collectively forget that human bodies have natural variability???
