👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✨ All kinds of women punching a hole in the unscientific idea that big women "can't be fit" and are "just automatically unhealthy"!

One day folk are just going to have to admit that the real concern that they have against fat people is them personally not being attracted... and SIT with that...and hopefully finally understand that the weight and shape of someone else simply ain't any of their damn business to mind 🤷🏾‍♀️

The trouble with marrying a writer

Patriarchy can only function if extremely rigid gender definitions and roles are observed.

Without conservatives' presumptions concerning how men and women look and what men and women are capable of (and therefore, how men and women are allowed to express themselves, and what they're allowed to do)?

All their excuses for why things have to be the way they are dissolves like cotton candy in water.

The very existence of trans people catapults the justifications for their pointless power structures firmly out of the window.

Even homosexuality doesn't threaten the structure quite as hard as transness does.

It's part of the reason why I'm glad to cheer on trans people.

Trans folk are real and they are valid.

Cultures around the world have accepted and honored transness in pre-colonial times.

And anyone trying to say otherwise, would have to deny literal decades of rigorous scientific research and study to do so.

If something can be destroyed by the truth, then it DESERVES to be destroyed by the truth!

…And honestly, when it comes to a poisonous structure like Patriarchy?

Good!

Destroy it and Good fuckin' riddance! ✊🏾✨
