These Joyful Photos Celebrate The Beauty Of Trans Women

“assuming autistic people don’t know what things like sex and romance are is infantilizing and ableist” and “let asexual, aromantic, and aroace autistic people exist in peace” are two opinions that can coexist and some of you really need to Know

my mutuals..... all very sweet and cute even if we haven’t spoken.... my followers....... so nice and lovely even tho I am a dumbass..... very good vibes

Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because women are not allowed to just be. this goes double for trans women.

We talk a lot about consent, and that’s a good thing. We talk a lot about autonomy, and that’s a good thing. We talk a lot about privacy, and that’s a good thing.

But we talk mostly about all of that in respect to sex, and relationships, and it’s important to remember this applies to other things, too.

If someone says, “don’t tell anyone I got this new job,” and you then tell people, you’ve violated their consent, their privacy, and their autonomy.

If a friend says, “I don’t like it when people touch my hair,” and you keep touching their hair, you have violated their consent, their autonomy, and their privacy.

If a coworker asks you not to tease them about their new boyfriend, even if it seems like gentle and friendly fun to you, and you do it, you’ve violated their consent, their autonomy, and their privacy.

People remember these things, and they hurt. Not as much as sexual assault, obviously. But those small violations of your wishes, those instances of disrespect, still hurt, and they can add up.

Consent doesn’t just apply to sex. Respect the wishes of others.

I hope every dark skin black girl is feeling flawless and beautiful today because y'all are.

Hey, quick tip for messaging your neurodivergent and/or chronically ill pals:

If they do not respond to you right away or in a little while, please do not keep spamming them with messages until they respond. They could be dealing with a flare up or might be focused on something else atm. Texting and messaging people can also take a lot of energy, especially when we’re in pain, and if you keep adding message after message you’re making it more difficult for us to actually get back to you because you keep giving us more that we have to respond to.

I know it can feel this way, but when we temporarily “ignore” you (and I use that word very loosely) this does not mean we suddenly don’t love or care about you. We’re just fatigued, in pain, experiencing a mental block, etc. and we need extra time. Just give us a little breathing room, we’re already suffocating.

Neurotypical and able-bodied people are highly encouraged to reblog this, just don’t clown.
