Found this post thanks to @kasdeya@cryptid.cafe who posted it three years ago on her old timeline. Somebody boosted it on mine today and I knew I had to post it here.
⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER:
THIS IS A WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY & SPACE
See "Rule 1: Women only…
Trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them."
I love how much less I care now. It is a certain freedom that is so incredibly….relaxing. Knowing deep down that how I look is completely separate from what I want to do releases some deep internal misogyny that was holding me to task for being “ugly”.
Yeah, it was a rocky road for me, but I’m really happy now that I genuinely DGAF.
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I see youngsters doing their own thing and not complying with patriarchal expectations :-)
