recipe makers NEED to stop framing vegan food as “healthy food” and assuming that the vegan cook/eater requires caloric and macronutrient breakdowns on every recipe or food review. fixating on notions of “health” (read: weight loss) when it comes to veganism not only nullifies the ethical commitment the lifestyle implies but also assigns a new, wildly unethical and dangerous social imperative of body punishment instead. this creates a deadly environment for vegans with EDs, as well as others whose class/disability/ etc contexts require them to consume processed foods.
The imbrication of contemporary “plant based” culture with diet culture/antifatness is stripping bodily autonomy from marginalized people who want to follow their ethical commitments, but cannot do so without putting their lives in danger.

The trangender community on Tumblr is single-handedly not only repairing my relationship with social media but actively helping with the unhealthy beauty standards I have put myself up to.
For the first time in my life I think my body hair is sexy, my deeper voice is womanly, my tiny boobs are cute, and my short hair is butch. Like...the Agressive transbody positivity on here is healing my soul on God.

Do you guys ever just lazily touch your curves and body? Stg its so nice, it really makes you appreciate the soft parts and the lumps and bumps in a whole different way. So soft and nice and comfy and some parts are firm or muscly or juicy and its just all in all a good experience
10/10 would recommend

I feel like it’s not unrelated that the fashion industry has suddenly hugely embraced trans women at the same time that many designers are going back to extremely thin models (this time, mixed with plus sized models, but gone are the size ~2-6 models we’ve had for a little while) because you can have a trans woman, even on estrogen, be much much thinner and more sinewy without being severely ill than you can a woman. But of course it’s all being sold back to women as the main demographic. Not only can the male body allow for a much lower body fat percentage, but can also be much taller and with longer limbs. Karlie Kloss was known for being one of the tallest models ever at 188cm/6’2. 6% of men are that height or taller. Women are not only now being sold this look, but female models have to now compete with it.
Anecdotally, take Brittany Manson, a trans woman who is currently a very popular model, on social media

Compared to literally Kate Moss, one of the most famous examples of heroin chic, “skinny taken too far”.

Both are undeniably very thin, but even just when comparing their thighs alone, anyone can see how a thin trans woman looks far different from a model who was known to use coke and harsh diets.

Are you guys capable of creating aesthetic art of beautiful women getting eviscerated where they aren't super hyper skinny or would that be too grotesque for you

I'm combining this into one big womanhood thread lol.
I've mentioned this to men and they are always like "you yhink about how you look every day? that's sad." and they just don't understand that it's not EVERYDAY it's almost every minute.
I have recently been having a lot of stomach issues that have really impacted how I can exercise and it has further destroyed how I look at myself.

So lately the cargo job has been putting me in the envelope sorting station. Which is fine! I love to sort things, and I'm getting good at holding things under the overhead scanner so that they scan right away.
But it means I haven't been physically active for a couple weeks. Which was extra fine when I was just returning from being sick. My weight went up a little, but whatever. I noticed myself getting a little squirrelly, because I need to physically wear myself out pretty often so that I can function. Talked to a manager and he said sure, I'll be moved for my Friday shift.
Well, today my period has decided to hit like a freight train.
Listen. I know mine have never been super bad compared to many people's experience. Through middle and high school I had a few bad ones, but mostly I took ibuprofen for two days out of the 5-6, and I carried on with life while feeling gross.
Becoming active changed so much! Almost all the pain went away, the bleeding cut down to 3-4 days, and I still felt like myself the whole time.
Today it's all back. My chest has been sore for days. There's a deep ache spider-webbing through my lower back, around both hips, down my tailbone, and through my stomach, to the point it feels like my belly button is cramping. There's so much blood. My whole body tensed up so tightly while I slept that I ache everywhere. I feel like a small wounded animal as I lie here waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in.
I know this is well within normal experience. I just need to whine about it first.

this is semi related to food posting but ummmm if you’re going to reblog yummy food to your blog it’s probably worth checking if the username of the source makes some joke / comment about being fat or food for “fatties”… like the kinds of assumptions that that makes about fat peoples’ diets are actually dangerously bigoted and should under no circumstances be engaged with. Repost the pic if you want but don’t partake, even passively, in rhetoric that causes such immense harm and actively gets people denied healthcare.

I realized something while clothes shopping with my fiance yesterday....
I'm no longer afraid of my body. I look at myself in a mirror, and when I see somebody fat, I don't cringe or look away. I actually found the fit of the couple dresses I tried on very flattering! I wasn't bothered by my tummy or arms. I thought, for the first time in a LONG time, that I looked good.
I don't think I'll ever feel entirely at home in my body (yay dysphoria! /s) but I think I'm finally as close to it as I can get. I feel... Really content and proud of myself for it. I never thought I would get this far!

I have gone to more than one class on how to get used to recognizing photoshop (super helpful when it comes to cultivating a more realistic understanding and acceptance of the human body) and I want to do an ai one next, take off the next filter on my glasses.
