What if there was a place you could go online to peruse interesting, creative and well-articulated descriptions of other people’s gender identities? We’re all different, we’re all complicated, and we’re all super beautiful. Let’s write about it, because someone might read it, connect with it, and…
camila-andrea asked: Ryan and I have a crush on you!
YAY!
That makes my day. I have a crush on both of you too.
Anonymous asked: I have this really weird hobby of (late at night) finding random tumblrs by typing in cliche words/phrases, mostly I am severely disappointed with what I find, but tonight I was in luck. I have a challenge for you from this random- anonymous- cowardly- internet -creeper (me) Don't take a photo of yourself or look into a mirror or anything reflective for a month. Feel free to post this question and say anything mean and condescing you'd like. ( like why did I was my time) Cheers!
I’m assuming you’re offering me this challenge because you think I can’t do it, or that it will be difficult for me.
I’ve spent months at camp, months travelling south america, mirror-less.
Yes, I post photos. I don’t do it to pick up. I don’t do it because I have some vain need for people to see how beautiful am (this, by the way, is what you’re insinuating with your challenge). I don’t need the internets approval to feel secure about how I look.
I feel that by posting my photos, I’m contributing to a collection of images of gender-variant people, living their lives the way they’d like to, looking the way they’d like to. When I look at other people posting similar photos, I am encouraged. I feel less alone.
Please, don’t write to me anonymously again. What would I find on your blog? Maybe it’s time for you to stop offering shitty self-help to people you know nothing about, and focus on yourself. That might be a better use of your time.
