if you’re cis you’re encouraged to rb bc i’m fucking TIRED of seeing him on my dash.
Um, In 2013 is was NOT common knowledge that ‘tr*nny’ was a slur- hell, it’s still not completely well known in society at large. Since then he’s definitely done some trans ally stuff. So I think blanket labelling him a ‘transmisogynist’ isn’t accurate. He has not been anti trans people– ‘tr*nny’ was commonly used in many circles back in 2013 and long before that in many communities, including the LGB community, drag queens etc- The early 2010s is when finally trans rights and thoughts on the word became more widely known and debated- but this was mostly known throughout the queer community- not society at large. It was fiercely debated around 2013 with people on BOTH sides of the issue. I means, there were the ‘Tranny Awards’ until 2014 when they changed their name. This is an unfair standard to wave around to someone’s one-off word use in 2013- back when it was NOT widely considered a slur.
white men literally join the military, go overseas, murder families, and put it under the illusion of “fighting for their country” and still say abortion is wrong lmao
i hope this is okay to add, here are some options for swimsuits and some tips!
gc2b sells binders in several nude tones, both long tank-style binders or cropped for ~$35. gc2b is a favorite especially among large-chested folks! their binders are safe to swim in, ONLY if you order one size larger than you would for typical binding, you can contact customer service if you need help with sizing.
outplay sells a few swim binders for around $50, which seem to have somewhat mixed reviews. they look more like typical swimsuits than gc2b, and there are options for high or low compression, but reviews suggest that this brand is best for those who are not large-chested.
underworks sells compression swimwear for $35-$100 with more of a surfer/scuba appearance and is highly rated.
danae is a company based in the netherlands that makes both feminine and masculine swimwear. Prices range from $35-$95.
leolines sells swimsuits made for trans women for $24-$80
easybeaver makes a couple (really cute) swim gaff bottoms for $24 each
swimsuitsforall and fullbeauty sell cute plus size swimsuits and coverups in many different styles and coverage levels
men typically wear swim/board shorts just below the hips/tummy, while women tend to wear them on the hip or at the waist
dark colors and bright or bold patterns can help to conceal or show off certain areas
swim skirts are good for concealing bulges
halter bikini tops with thick straps help to balance out broad shoulders and emphasize the bust
high-waisted bikini bottoms or bikini skirts emphasize the hips and give a curvier appearance
if you wear a t-shirt over your swimsuit or binder, white or light-medium colors will show through when wet, dark colors or black will not reveal as much. choose a t-shirt that is not too large so that it is still comfortable to swim in.
tank shirts are a popular summer style (target has a nice selection imo) that will cover some/most binders and looks good with board shorts. if the neckline is too low and does not cover your binder, you can take in the straps as much as is comfortable (shorter people will find this easier) either by turning the tank inside out and sewing across the top inch or so of the straps, or doing the same with a safety pin.
do not wear a binder that is not a swim binder swimming!! (with the exception of wearing a gc2b binder one size too large) splashing/wading in the water is okay, but you can hurt your lungs and ribcage if you exercise in a regular binder. a regular binder may also be stretched out or warped if worn swimming.
stay hydrated! especially if you are binding and out in the sun, you can get dehydrated easily.
wear sunscreen and reapply every 2 hours or as recommended!
Here are some resources for trans people, and this list has some specifically for Trans Women!
Also, don’t eve double bind when swimming, it’s even more dangerous and restrictive to do.
open and raw communication with your partner may be uncomfortable and feel so ugly and vulnerable but it solves soo many problems in the end
The idea that was sold to us of “love is effortless and you should communicate telepathically with your partner” is false. Love is awkward as hell. It’s A LOT of straight up talking and realization of your self - your own needs. It’s important to make those needs heard. Do not deny yourself full love
that idea robs us of so much intimacy, the intimacy that comes with honesty and vulnerability and being known.
so I’ve not been on much for years, idk if any of my old mutuals are even still here. I’ve been homeless a few times, I’m currently homeless with my partner but we are doing our best to figure it out.
i got a lot of diagnosis that I’ll get into later, but it’s answered a lot of questions I’ve had my whole life, and some I didn’t even know I was supposed to be asking. it also inadvertently proves just how little my parents ever cared about taking care of me, or me as a person in general.
the good news, for now, is that I’m working on my physical and mental health, I’m send me safe, me and my partner are in love and we have each other. i have a ton of asks that I’ll get to soon, but for now, I’m temporarily back but I’m most likely moving to a new blog and scrapping this one.
I underreact in serious situations and then overreact in really simple circumstances like once I set my eyebrow on fire and I was just like ‘oh dear’ and then the other day I couldn’t open a can of coke and I screamed ‘I’m dying’, I just really don’t know.
how do you set your eyebrow on fire
I was sniffing a candle and it all went a bit tits up idk man it just happens sometimes
