I highly agree with this.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I am all for breaking the heteronormative mold and rising above oppression. But one thing that I do idolize about that time was the fact that, for some families (including my great grandparents), a family, dog, vehicle and mortgage (not rent!) could be supported with one person’s income. Of course, this varied person to person due to the fact that there were many other intersectional factors at play, but it was true for some.
Nowadays, in most places, you’re lucky to get a half-decent house or a reasonable apartment with both partners in a relationship working multiple jobs, and even then they have to worry about food and bills, nevermind transportation and pets.
This is why we need a wealth tax and some serious redistribution.
Maybe the fertility rate for The United States wouldn’t be so dismally low if we had an economy the could support single-earner households.
Home Mothers & Working Mothers are both valid.
you can do either one and still love your children with all your heart~

If my femininity within the context of my own life threatens you to the point that you feel the need to attack my life choices, maybe you need to reevaluate why you feel so threatened by traditional feminity. Because it’s not like I’m asking you to live the same way I do.
I’m just asking for the same freedom you want, to live in a way that makes me happy.
Now that sounds like one peaceful life!
I just want a nice home. A nice home to clean, decorate, & make warm, welcoming, & safe for not only my family & I, but for those in our lives. A home that people look forward to stepping foot in, not dread.
I want a husband who is not only my best friend, but my soul-mate & provider. Who I know always has things under control. Who makes me feel safe, like he'll never stop loving me. Like I can always depend on him. Like he'll never hurt me & I'll never live in fear again.
I want children. Children that I can care for, love, & play with all day. Children that will always know that mommy & daddy always have their best interests at heart. Who know mommy & daddy love each other just as much as they love them, so they can grow up with a healthy view of what a relationship should be. Children that I can tuck in at night after reading a story to, after having given a nice warm bath & can chase around the house or out in the yard during the day.
I want a nice, big kitchen that I can cook & bake in. A kitchen that always has food waiting to be eaten that I made for those I love. They'll never have to worry about going hungry. None of us will.
I want pets that we can play with & brush & give treats & new toys to. Pets that will settle down with us at night in front of a fire in chilly evenings & will be a part of our family.
I want a garden. One where I grow food to use for recipes. One where my children are free to learn how to use their hands to dig into the soil to plant their favorite fruits or vegetables.
I want a calm, loving life. I want to settle down. I don't need to travel the world. I don't need to be famous or rich. I just want simplicity. But for some reason, it feels like asking for that is what's known as too much nowadays.
Trans identities are welcome here! Trans people are people, people!

incase it wasn’t clear - i am and my blog is anti-terf 👍
Oh my, I believe this qualifies as “relationship goals” <3
I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it.
It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.
Canary, she/her, they/them. 23, wlw. I created this blog as an oasis from the toxic parts of the tradfem community on here, and I hope that I can inspire others unlike me and provide a haven for those like me. Asks are open, but if you have a problem with me or something I posted, please read my About page. Hopefully we can avoid some drama this way. Feel free to send the ask anyway, but be aware I might redirect you to my about page if I explain my stance better there. I am always looking for ways to better myself as a person. Please enjoy your stay.
