#female positivity
I have never seen a single “ugly” or not amazing girl. I know this is an nb/mlm/nb acc but I think solidarity is important :)
Straight girls are valid and beautiful
Bi girls, lesbians and girls who like girls in general are splendid and amazing :) aro and/or ace girls deserve so much love and attention
Girls who are questioning are lovely and powerful
Trans women and girl related people should honestly rule the world /hj
Girls who don’t use labels are super rad and valid too!
Masculine, androgynous and gnc girls are incredible btw, y’all get all my love <333 same with feminine girls :)
Also pssst! Neurodivergent and neuroatypical girls: you rock too! Your unique experiences don’t reflect your value as a person! You can and deserve to find happiness, even if the journey to do so is different for you than your peers :)
Chubby+fat girls, you deserve so much more love and respect than society offers.
Girls, if you’re seeing this, you rock, you’re amazing, you’re strong, you got this :) let’s build a better world together
Also i stg if I see a single one of you saying ur an exception/j but please don’t do that bc I mean all girls and girl related people :)Anyway ily now go be urself and do things that make ye happy bc u deserve it (yes, you. Don’t deny it or you will catch these hands /j)
**do not derail**
(Will be making edits as time passes)
Girls with bumps in their noses! Girls with strong jawlines, girls with strong brow ridges or bold eyebrows!! Girls with thin lips or small eyes :0 bald girls, skinny girls, plus size girls, muscular girls, tall girls, average sized girls, short girls, girls with stretch marks, skin conditions, girls with big noses! All girls who don’t fit the societal beauty standards! I see you, I love you
*feel free to add on, just don’t derail. Mens positivity coming soon*
Mid sized girls are lovely, I know y’all are often forgotten about
BIPOC girls are so precious, you’re all important and you have a place in this world
Hey, disabled girls, you go through so much. Your struggles are real, you’re worth loving and respecting
Hey girls who use xenoidentities/microlabels, you’re so cool! I think it’s amazing that you use these to express yourself/your identity. The same also applies to those of multisexual identities (Eg: bi, pan, omni, ply, etc)
Girls who like collecting, girls who don’t
Girls who like sports/outdoors activities, girls who prefer to stay inside
Girls with paranoia or anxiety or unhappy obsessions/obsessions that get in the way of your happiness/ability to function, I know you worry. I know it’s hard. I hope that someday soon you’ll have peace of mind
Girls who are broken hearted, you’re so strong. You’ve gone through a lot I’m sure but you got this! You can do it /g
Girls who need encouragement, I love you. You’re doing great :)
Once again this applies to all girls, feel free to add on but don’t derail!
Keep discourse away from this post!
As a trans man, a lot of the gender euphoria I experience in private is built off being gross. When I see my hairy legs, when I smell my BO after airsoft, when the sweats I wear around the house dip to reveal my boxers. I love it so much. My transness isn’t ever going to be “pretty” and I adore that.
leg hair is gross? natural body features that all men and women have and experience are… gross??? comfortable clothes are gross?
huh. you know I’ve never met a man who thinks his leg hair is gross. seems to me they don’t even give it a second thought. but I’ve met hundreds of women who think their leg hair is gross though. interesting. you ever think you maybe ur just looking for an excuse to exist naturally and comfortably, because men are allowed to do that and women aren’t?
Hey it’s almost like cis men and trans men have different experiences. But that makes almost toomuch sense
huh i wonder why that it is. i wonder why the experiences of males and females are sooooo different. sure wish we could do something about that
i love how this is literally just classic gender norms. men get to exist in a natural, “gross” state whereas women need to be “clean” (aka hairless, exfoliated, cleansed, yada yada). but now it has a progressive twist, because FTMs get happy being in their natural state and conflating it with manhood, further perpetuating the idea that body hair and BO are masculine traits.
and OP never did answer badmiffy’s question. why is body hair gross? and why do they equate manhood with being comfortable with body hair? hmm
What I find interesting is how much I relate to OP yet I am a woman who is now confident in her natural gender non conforming presentation. I used to have dysphoria as a teenager, it was a dark time of my life and it didn’t evaporate in a snap of fingers. Fast forward now and not living with my mom who criticised all the clothing options I desired and forced me to wear somewhat “feminine” clothes by simply being the ones she bought me made me more and more confident in buying clothes in the section for men.
It took years for me to even get boxers (only happened this year), as the damages my mothers did on me are numerous and deeply ingrained. So what does this leave me with ? I’m very satisfied in how I look every time I look more masculine, I have no doubt it is the same sentiment OP describes as “gender euphoria”, I see myself. It’s just … ME. It’s the authenticity I was so often denied even though as a child on holidays I could often have that. This includes letting the hair on my body grow, it’s been maybe three years since I haven’t shaved my legs ? This I have to thank radical feminism for.
Seeing my legs and my whole body like that is freeing, in a strange turn of events it’s also that same hair that makes me think “woman” in my head. This is womanhood to me as in “I don’t look like a permanent girl child, women have hair, I’m not giving in the porn culture conception of us being hairless to be tolerated”. I used to hate even the though of being called a woman when I grow up, this was linked to my internalised sexist views of what a woman could do and look like. Turns out as a woman I can smell after efforts and it’s bearable (I prefer the smell of a deodorant though, as well as being a courtesy for other people living in my vicinity, hence why I use one daily), I can wear boxes and the baggy clothes I dreamt of when I was a kid, I can wear a growing number of clothes that aren’t in the woman section of the stores and it makes me very happy to wear these, and you know what was the more telling thing I learned in the past year and a half ? When I came out over the phone to my mom, which wasn’t something I even knew I would do five minutes prior to it, the one thing she told me was that she knew because of my clothes when I was younger. She was accepting and that was very new for me but this specific sentence stuck with me because it’s telling. She didn’t want to buy me the clothes I wanted, forced me into an in-between uncomfortable state (I tried my best to not be feminine with what I had) because she suspected her daughter was a lesbian and she was homophobic about it.
This was a long addition to this post but basically, this experience is a female one. A man will never know what it feels like to enjoy this much wearing clothes associated with masculinity, it feels like finally doing something you couldn’t do your all life despite having the capacity to, because you’re a human and not a feminine creature. All these traits you’re listing OP, I am proud of as a woman, this isn’t euphoria to me, it’s freedom.
yexn:
you know what’s really gross to me?? when parents (esp mothers) of butch/gnc women and girls act like not being able to force their daughters to wear dresses is some big loss. you know what you can do instead? help her pick out a suit. give her money for a haircut at that fancy barbershop. let her dress how she wants, and don’t throw a fit when little suzy turns out to be a tomboy, because feeling like your parents are disappointed in you is the worst feeling in the world.
edit: terfs keep rbing this and saying it sounds “terfy”. first of all, this post is about butch and gnc women, not trans men (“dysphoric females” or what ever bullshit term you call them lmao). second of all, trans women can definitely be butch or gnc, because they are women. i can’t stop terfs from rubbing their shitty hands all over this post, but they’re all assholes and can go choke lmao bye
also terfs don’t touch this postop is a terf block and stay safe
character development !!!!
omg
Beautiful, organic
Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing women out there!
Women in power as they should
