Every Time I Shave My Legs I Imagine How Many Radfems Are Having Panic Attacks Over It.

This photo made my day. Solidarity with #GiselePelicot and all survivors.

I think this discussion came about from a man advocating for a return to handwashing clothes for climate conservation purposes. This is where I get problematic because messages about how small I need to live my life and how much energy I should save the planet by exerting my own and doing things manually will forever fall flat for me.

Respectfully, I will be utilizing every convenience and purchasing every energy-saving machine, gadget and gizmo. I think I would need to live 3 lifetimes to approach the energy consumption of even a moderately rich North American. Therefore, I will be CONSUMING. I WANT TO EAT THE WORLD. And I love how I need to give up hot showers and handwash clothes but nobody can be arsed to stop wars where energy is being used to make trillions of weapons to be dropped on infants. And yes people with say "B-but you have a personal responsibility"- sorry idgaf. I will pick up litter and recycle and not buy stupid plastic shit on Amazon, use one water bottle at a time and buy well made designer clothes that last decades instead of fast fashion- that's me doing my part.

empowerment does not and should not mean “what makes me feel good.” empowerment is what gives you power, i.e. knowledge, autonomy, liberation. gaining knowledge doesn’t always make you feel good, it can be the most exhausting, terrifying, distressing thing you’ll experience.

this post sucks ass lol how tf do people keep saying this shit and having it get 10k+ notes

Okay I answered my own question:

I couldn’t find the link that goes with the above image, I reverse image searched and only found twitter posts, not the article it supposedly comes from. Advocate.com does have an article (link below) which lists the transgender people killed in 2024, but has nothing about the trans-identified males currently serving a prison sentence.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation also has a report on the above (https://reports.hrc.org/an-epidemic-of-violence-2024) of the 30 reported deaths, 3 were trans men (female) and 1 was a nonbinary afab person (female).

So, really the statistic is more like

Trans-identified males killed in 2024: 26

Trans-identified males serving a prison sentence for a sexual offence: 609

Advocate.com

Here are the 30 transgender Americans lost to violence so far this year

The epidemic of fatal violence against trans people in the U.S. continues.

For me it’s about having the freedom to touch my own skin.

I stopped regularly using makeup earlier this year, it wasn’t really a conscious decision, just the way things turned out. Anyway after I’d been makeup-free for a couple of months I ended up wearing some makeup for an event, and it wasn’t even a lot of makeup compared to what I’d worn previously. But almost immediately I became so conscious of my face, I didn’t want to rub my eye for fear of smearing my eye makeup, or to eat too quickly for fear of ruining my lipstick.

I only wore the makeup for a few hours, and it was honestly so mentally draining having to constantly monitor myself.

So anyway, I’m hoping to keep up my makeup free journey into 2025! Wish me luck!

Reblog this and add a reason you dont wear make up

I’ll start 😊

There are no ingredients listed nor do make up companies answer to any type of health standards
