Gc2b is having a 15% off binder sale for pride month starting today !!
If you’re looking into buying a binder for the first time, they have (in my experience) some of the most comfortable and flattening binders you can get and they’re on the cheaper end at around $30-$35!!
just a heads up, this particular sale only runs from today (june 1 2018) through the weekend (june 3 2018), as specified in the promotional email i was sent.
but i can personally recommend gc2b from experience, they’re great and make really comfortable products. and they’re a trans-run company! trans products for trans people by trans people. it’s GOOD. GET YOU A BINDER.
theres so much value in finding a label that fits you but sometimes i feel like misleading amount of emphasis on it. you should focus and do what makes you happy and comfortable, and discover what you want, before worrying about putting a name to it. and i say this as someone who desperately wants some sort of label for myself. but what im trying to say is you dont need a label in order to do something! if youre a woman wanting to have relationships with women, go find some gals! then worry about whether youre gay or bi or what. theres some taboo around “experimenting” but theres honestly nothing wrong with experimenting in a healthy way. this is especially true with gender shit. you dont need to decide if youre trans or not in order to change your name, try different pronouns, and dress differently! you dont need to know if youre a trans man or not to start binding or cut your hair or taking any steps towards transitioning
this is me rambling but hell you dont ever need to know your sexuality or gender to do stuff, just do whats making you happy n call it a day. labels are great but dont get too caught up in them if its giving you anxiety and stopping you from taking steps n doing things that make u happier and healthier

for anyone whoikindamaybewanthertositonmyface:
Okay this is for all my fellow trans women out there who happen to still suffer from the problem of having a five o’clock shadow, who want to hide it with minimal make up.
Okay so you pretty much only need two things. Well, three if you count the brushes.
But make up wise, all you need is, a liquid foundation slightly paler then your own skin, and blush.
And then basically all you have to do, you put the foundation on over your whole face, then instead of only putting the blush on certain areas, cover your whole face with it.
The result will be a natural skin tone that no one will be able to tell is make up without looking at you up close, that will completely hide the stupid five o’clock shadow. :D

your body is your body, and if you don’t love it now, that’s ok.
you do what you need to love your body. exercise or don’t, stare in mirrors or don’t. shave or don’t. just unapologetically work towards loving yourself.
and if you want to get surgeries done, for whatever reason, then who cares. it’s your body, and if it takes a surgery to love it, then that’s ok.
if you can get to the point where you can be happy with your body, that’s all that matters.
for some people it’ll only take a few months, other it can take years. your body is only holding you, it’s not your life force. you are so much more than skin and bones, and once you realize that, then it’s a lot easier to love your body, to love yourself.
i love sapphic positivity and try to keep my messages positive so those who follow this blog can feel safe and happy. however, i just need to tell all of you that it’s completely normal to feel frustrated, lonely, and sad at times about your situations. sexuality can be confusing, relationships can be messy, and people can be heartless.
This is a shoutout to all my hairy sapphics! This applies to my hairy bi, lesbian, pan, poly, and a-spec women, girls, lunarian, and woman aligned people!
If you’re hairy because you’re trans, or intersex, then you’re especially lovely! If you’re cis and you’re still hairy, then I love you too.
Hairy sapphics are excellent!
I love you all

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”
more cis feminists should have this mindset
one of the first examples that she uses to introduce her point about how perception by others can shape a person’s performance actually uses a trans woman. it explains that as a certain trans woman became to be seen as a woman more and more frequently, the ppl arond her eventually started viewing her as being ill equipped for tasks that they did not bother her about pre-transition. eventually she even found herself underperforming in these tasks herself.
whats the name of the book
Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine
I knew it was this book before I’d finished reading the first two lines. Honestly this book is indispensible if you want to debunk any gender determinism people claim is science. I can’t recommend it enough.
She’s written a new one! It won the Royal Society prize for science book of the year, and it’s called Testosterone Rex, and it is excellent.
(Bonus: it’s making old white men really really mad.)
(Bonus bonus: I am myself a neuroscientist, and the old white men mentioned above – who are not – could not have missed the point harder if they’d actively tried. Which. Maybe?)

you know who’s cool? butch trans women. butch trans women who don’t pass because they’re butch, butch trans women who have been told they aren’t really trans because they’re masculine, butch trans women, all of them, ever. very cool and good people.
anyway now that we’re on the topic i just wanna say all my love goes to wlw who are terrified of having sex with girls bc they think their bodies are gross or not attractive enough and who always feel like they gotta compare to their partner aesthetically (esp us fatties)! you’re sexy and your girl will love every single inch of you!
You do not have to be thin to deserve/receive love. You are beautiful, you are strong, you are kick ass. Your being fat is a beautiful thing, find someone to love all of you. There is someone who will.
lesbians who don’t shave? perfect, flawless, amazing
