fat trans ppl deal with a lot of shit and its so sucky because some people will only support skinny trans ppl bc thats all they can conceptualize and accept when trans ppl in actuality come in all different types of bodies
if u dont support fat trans ppl the way u support skinny trans ppl u need to rethink what kind of “ally” u are.
As a fat trans woman this is so true even within the trans community. I’ve had so many other trans women invalidate me, be dismissive of my issues and experience, and so forth simply because of my size. It’s really fucking disappointing to run into.
Y’all should check out the works of Rakeem Cunningham! He photographs a lot of diverse and beautiful people, both cis and trans. As a gay trans man myself, they really help to reassure me that there are gay men beyond photogenic cis twinks and bears. These photographs are from his series Body Pride:
These are from his Trans Professionals series:
Also, check out Jess T Dugan’s photographs of trans and genderqueer people:
As a trans photographer, Jess Dugan is basically my role model. Her photos of elder trans people, To Survive On This Shore, is amazing.
😍😍😍
Her editing is unparalled by any other MUA on YouTube.
Her IG is @ wvrthy and her youtube channel info is on there. She makes and sells her own highlighters.
She deserves more subscribers
here’s her shop! she makes highlighters and other makeup meant to show up on all tones of skin, and her highlighters are incredible. just look!
support her! she’s got awesome other colors, too, besides the gold and the ones in that swatch. my personal favorite has gotta be the pinkish one she named “aphrodite”!
just look at these!!
if you can afford to, give her some business!
If there’s a live action steven universe movie, we just found their make up artist.
Fake Punk: I don’t care about catching coronavirus
Real Punk: I should take precautions to help protect the oppressed groups who are vulnerable to this epidemic like low-income households, homeless people and people with disabilities.
This isn’t “punk” it’s just being a good person
Contrary to what many people would have you believe, being a good person despite societal pressure not to be is kinda what punk is about

We need to do more than sign a petition. Don't shut up about this.
how to tell if your “friend” is not being a friend:
- every time you talk about a problem, you have to spend time convincing them it’s a real problem
- you have to convince them that your feelings are real and justified
- you have to explain to them, more than once, to stop saying things that genuinely make you feel awful
- you have to be understanding of their point of view entire time, but that doesn’t work both ways, they don’t do it back
- you have to be understanding to the point where you accept that they wont ever see your point of view
- if your problems make them uncomfortable you have to stop talking
- they compete with you and try to prove you that their situation is worse no matter what you struggle with
- they try to convince you to get over yourself and to not think of yourself too highly
- they make you feel like your opinions, actions or emotions are stupid, and like you should be ashamed for expressing anything to anyone
- they pick up on your vulnerabilities then use them against you in critical times
- they say things they know will hurt you, to get to you
- they hurt you to prove their point and think it’s legit reason to cause you pain
- they talk down to you, act as if you’re not capable of making good decisions, scare you into not doing as you wanted, make you feel inadequate and inexperienced in comparison to them
- they don’t care if they tire you out with their problems
- they don’t care if you’ve already given them more than you comfortably can give
- they don’t find you worthy of their compassion and care
- they don’t think you’ve deserved their attention or admiration
- they neglect you and then come back to you when they need you
- they act as if it’s normal for you to spend much more energy and time on them than they do in return
- they expect unlimited compassion, kindness, energy, time and care from you, and act as if it’s the least you could do for them
- they don’t even consider going that length in return
- if they forget, even for a second, that you’re a human being
they’re not to be trusted.
