we can build heaven together, i guess

Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.

Звери самые маленькие, 1927. Illustrated by Vasily Vatagin.

i'm an indigenous & heavily disabled intersex transfem lesbian!! and its a wonderful month :o)

BUT!! i am also in a really hard position right now. my girlfriend and i are both trans women, and we're really struggling this month. she was just wrongfully let go from her job and i'm only able to work part time as a janitor, so we're really having trouble keeping up with rent, bills, and medical supplies :o(. that's no fun on a month that's supposed to be celebrating us!!

SO!!!! it would help me so very much if you'd be willing to help me afford the medical supplies i need + our bills :o) thank you so much, even if you just spread the word! i hope you all have a great month too 💛💜💛
