➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'

➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.

The answer is: the uterus isn't what causes your period, it is effected by your period. What causes your period and what causes trans women's periods is the same thing: the endocrine system.

HRT changes the sex of your endocrine system. Feminizing HRT makes it a female endocrine system, giving us a 28-day hormone cycle just like cis women. At the end of that cycle, the hypothalamus floods the body with prostaglandins. Those are what cause all but one of the period symptoms, because they make muscles inflame and contract. They are what make the uterus shed its lining, they are what cause intestinal cramps, they are what cause body aches, they are what cause headaches and migraines. The only period symptom not causes by the release of prostaglandins throughout the body is depression, and that is caused by your endocrine system simply not processing as much estrogen and from simply feeling like shit.

So, the only symptoms trans women don't get every 28 days is menstrual cramps, because yes we do not menstruate since we don't have uteruses. But migraines, depression, body aches, intestinal cramps, and the infamous "period shits" don't exactly add up to us having any better of a time. Except we have to pretend that we're fine and nothing is different because no one believes that we get periods, not even cis women.

Since endometriosis is endometrial tissue (uterine lining) existing where it shouldn't, it means those of us who have it bleed.

Just, it's internal bleeding.

if you copy a url by sharing on the website, the link will look like this

getting rid of tracking in these is easy, just delete everything after the question mark and you are golden

in the case for the app, its slightly more complicated

first you have to delete at. that appears before tumblr(.)com the other tracking shit on this one has a lot more info, so please, clean app urls. after the first set of numbers, there's a / you have to delete everything after it

a clean Tumblr url should look like this

This post could be referencing any number of things but is specifically about body odor. I've said before that I have hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). I'm so self-conscious about it that I shower every day (sometimes multiple times a day!) and wear deodorant and antiperspirant all over my body. This doesn't even help.

People's negative comments about how weebs/nerds smell bad and don't care about hygiene affect me and people like me. Yes, even those of us who aren't that into anime.

Before you tell me that hyperhidrosis is rare, so you don't want to stop making these comments on account of us -- I'm not just talking about people with hyperhidrosis. There are so many disabilities that cause issues with hygiene. I'm guessing there are an even larger number of people who don't have regular access to running water.

howard ashman was brought on to the little mermaid by his friend and composer, alan menken, to write the lyrics and really guide the story of disney’s first fairytale in thirty years. he would go on to win academy awards for both the little mermaid and beauty and the beast and be nominated for his work on aladdin. by all accounts, ashman was the driving force behind the stories of the little mermaid and beauty and the beast, and it was his talents that ushered in what is now known as the disney renaissance. he wrote beautiful lyrics and crafted stories about two young women, both of whom felt trapped and like they didn’t belong, even though they had people who loved them. they were both a little different. they didn’t really fit in. they didn’t want to fit in. they wanted lives and had dreams that were outside of the norm. they wanted all of themselves, all of their eccentricities and passions, to be accepted. and, they were willing to leave their homes and families to find that acceptance. he wrote about a young man who was trapped by a curse with a deadline. one that had robbed him of his youth and family and friends. a curse that was ostracizing—made people fear him. they feared what they didn’t understand. their fear whipped into a fury by strong men who demagogued his pain and suffering. he wrote of a young man who wanted to be loved, to be saved, but didn’t know if he deserved saving.

in 1988, in the middle of writing the little mermaid, howard ashman was diagnosed with AIDS. he told alan menken of his diagnosis the day after they won an oscar for the song under the sea, in 1990. howard continued to work on beauty and the beast until it’s completion, with disney staff and animators traveling to his home every day to work with him as he withered away. howard died march 14, 1991, four days after the first screenings of beauty and the beast. he was just forty years old.

when i think of howard ashman, i think of my uncle, who was freshly out and proud and scared and so so young when the AIDS epidemic hit. i think of how many friends he lost—people who should have been with family and instead died alone in cold hospitals. i think of my dad, who was a young resident at a hospital in north philly at the time, and how, over thirty years later, he still chokes up talking about the patients and colleagues and friends they all lost to a treatable disease while politicians laughed. i think of the young queer people who have so quickly forgotten their recent history.
