Honestly when I hear people say “not receiving gender affirming surgeries will make me feel suicidal” I hear the same thing as if someone said “if I don’t get a nose job I’ll feel suicidal”

It’s a physical insecurity that wouldn’t exist in a vacuum. I’m sorry that you were influenced to feel this way, but surgery will not fix something that is rooted in self-hatred. If you change it with surgery, you will find another insecurity to fixate on within a week.

Also, can we talk about how rebranding gender affirming surgery as some life-saving procedure is just promoting and glamorising a very misogynistic and corrupt industry.

👑🩰MOVIE THERAPY👑🩰

-In this post, I want to mention the lessons I learnt from two beautiful movies - Queen and English Vinglish. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these movies!!!! Both the movies start with women who are timid , stuck in their past , trying to please others , lack self love , dependent on others but in the end they become independent, confident and develop self love. Isn't that wonderful ?

Let's start from Queen movie starring Kangana Ranaut, Rajkumar Rao and Lisa Haydon. It's about a girl named Rani who was dumped by her fiance and she decides to go on honeymoon, all by herself

1) If they leave you, it's not the end of the world.

Rani's fiance dumped her just before the wedding, ofc she was heartbroken and locked herself in room . After that she decided to go to honeymoon, all by herself! She went to the same place where she was supposed to go after her marriage - Amsterdam , Paris . I know it hurts , when a close one , whether it's your fiance , boyfriend, girlfriend , best friend etc leaves your side with/without any reason. As once a wise women said , you lose people who aren't meant for the best version of you . Even if they leave, you have to enjoy your own company and continue with your own life . Vijay aka Rani's fiance cancelling the wedding was a blessing in disguise . Also if they left without any reason or if they were just embarrassed by you , they didn't deserve you at all .

2) YOU ARE COMPLETE ON YOUR OWN

Yes , here is a spoiler from the movie , Rani doesn't end up with any new guy or gets married to her ex fiance. Infact , she becomes independent and free. You are whole on your own. You are complete on your own , you don't need anyone to complete you. You are a queen/king and will always remain one ! You can be happy on your own. You don't need anyone or their approval.

3) Have fun with friends , don't judge each other

Rani met VijayLaxmi , Olexander or ( Sikander🐵) , Taka and time. Their friendship was perfect example of "opposites attract " . However , despite the differences, she never judged them because she knew they were good human beings , deep inside .

4) A make over is never a bad idea !

A makeover can make you feel confident in yourself. The way you present and take care of yourself also shows how much you love and respect yourself. So wear a pretty pink dress and straight your hair or maybe curl them , whatever you like ! Also REMEMBER YOU ARE DOING IT FOR YOUUU!!!!!!!🧁💖

5) Step outside of your comfort zone

Why?? You don't grow in your comfort zone. Rani stepped out of her native country and tralleveled all alone to a country where she was supposed to go with her ex fiance. Remember Great things never come from comfort zone.

6) Free yourself

Be independent. Love yourself. Respect yourself. There is a scene in the movie where Rani rejects her fiance when he comes back while they play a beautiful and meaningful song in background . That scene represents Rani's walk of liberation. Rani finally became independent, learnt to love herself and be her own person !!

7) " Thank you " - Rani, Queen 2013

Rani thanks her fiance when he comes back to her. No, she doesn't take him back . She finally realized that if he didn't cancel the marriage, she would have never become her highest self which was confident , full of self love and independent. It was truly a blessing in disguise. Say thank you to all those hurtful past experiences, those experiences made you wiser. Say thank you to all the people who left you at your worst because they made you realize that you only need one person and that's YOU !

Lessons learnt from English vinglish , starring Sridevi . It's about a woman named Shashi who didn't receive any respect from her family peers for not knowing English. She was also timid and often mistreated by her daughter and not appreciated enough by her own husband.

1) Step out of your comfort zone

Shashi went to New York inorder to attend her sister's wedding but she couldn't speak or understand English. She went to a country where she didn't know how to communicate with anyone. You must get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

2) Turn your weakness into strength

Shashi was mocked by her own family for not knowing English. She took English classes and learnt English. She was committed and determined to learn English so she succeeded . She gave a meaningful speech in English too which shocked her daughter and her husband whereas some people were proud of her - her little son , her other cousin Radha , her English teacher and class peers. Later , her family also felt bad for mistreating like and they developed respect for her . Also please respect your parents , don't humiliate them for not knowing something or anything. The scene where Shashi cried because her daughter disrespected her were so painful to watch .

3) Don't allow others to degrade your hobbies / Job

Shashi was never appreciated for her being good at making sweets and her buisness was going pretty well but she never got the appreciation she deserved and was degraded by her own husband for being called " entrepreneur ". If you like something and if it is beneficial to you too , then don't care what others are saying , even if it's someone from your family.

3) Self love

Shashi summarized it in few words which hit hard so I will just end this post with her quote

" When you don't like yourself, you tend to dislike everything associated with you . New things seem to be more attractive , but once you start loving yourself , the same old life begins to feel new and good "

-Shashi , English Vinglish , 2012

Still ducking hilarious to me that Zoro & Sanji began their beef because they thought the other was misogynistic and it came to a head of no return when Zoro felt his title of ‘Luffy’s specialest boi’ threatened by Sanji’s comment

BUT THEN!!!!#Zoro takes Sanji’s WE + NEED + HIM (Luffy) SO DUCKING P E R S O NA. L DEADASS STRUCK THE LOUDEST DAMN CORE IN ALL OF ZORO AND RAISED EVERY #DAMN ALARM POSSIBLE #Aaaaaand ‘You just got here /you/ don’t know what Luffy needs’ MY GOOD FIRST MATE OF A MAN C A L M D O W N N N IT IS /NOT/ THAT DEEP #‘I know he needs my cooking’ SANJII NOOOOO DON’T FALL FOR IT #‘Like what putting two slices of bread together’ Oh god. oh no. we are never coming back from this (pure hilarious joyous disaster) Ever!#Roronoa Zoro #Black Leg Sanji #Monkey D. Luffy #One Piece Live Action #OPLA #One Piece #All jokes aside tho Zoro was right to make sure they didn’t go inside to aid their captain #They would’ve been more of a distraction than help because Luffy wouldn’t have been able to let loose as much as he did #Zoro’s a good first mate but also buddy my guy my dude Sanji does NOT want your job bud ain’t nobody want your job especially when Luffy #made it very clear /you/ are worth more to him than /food/#Somebody should tell Zoro that tho man could use the affirmation #But also…my guy…what were you so jealous so hissy so darn quick to b!tch for helpp ☕️🤧💀#Zolu #Ani Rambles #Luzo

GROWING OUT OF PEOPLES OPINION

Hi girls! Today, we are dedicating a post to learning how not to give a fuck (pardon my crude language) about people’s opinions. Now obviously if someone’s opinion has validity, take it to heart, but if it’s unfounded than this is for you.

Unfortunately, if you’re a girl living in this world, you will simply always be judged. Thats just the hard facts.

- If you aren’t “attractive” enough than you simply aren’t worthy of having a conversation with

- If you are “attractive” enough than most men just see you as someone to sleep with

- If you’re “too skinny” you don’t have enough meat on your bones

- If you’re “too fat” you’re dismissed as unhealthy and someone who doesn’t take care of themselves

- If you’re “too smart” you’re a try hard

- If you’re “too dumb” you’re an “airhead” or a “dumb blond” (if you are blonde)

and so forth…

There’s simply no winning when it comes to arguing on how society deems us. The only way you can truly win is to stop caring. Do things FOR YOU, change FOR YOU, never for others.

so much love,

a girl unfiltered 💋

Do you think Viserys had any idea about Rhaenyra's affair with Harwin before Jace's birth?

most likely, yeah.

after *whatever* happened between rhaenyra and criston to make him turn against her, harwin had become her new champion. at her and laenors wedding tourney rhaenyra gave her favor to harwin while laenor gave his to joffery. surely viserys mustve known *something* was up.

the show skips over most of their developing relationship, but considering we see harwin being so close with rhaenyra, baby sitting her kids while shes giving birth, attending their training, lyonel himself commenting on their closeness, im gonna assume it went down more or less the same.

i dont think viserys wouldve really cared though, because of the very important fact that they got together *after* rhaenyras marriage.

as we saw viserys doesnt really care if rhaenyra is fucking around, as long as 1. its not daemon shes fucking and 2. its no one else he sees as a threat. had rhaenyra and harwin gotten together before her marriage, i think viserys wouldve gotten upset about it, because then harwin *would* have been a threat, someone trying to "steal" his babygirl away from him. but since rhaenyra is married, all their relationship can ever be is an affair. it doesnt matter how much they love each other, they must keep it (more or less) a secret. and after rhaenyra started having his babies well, viserys doesnt give a fuck who fathered them because theyre *her* children.

#viserys isnt stupid or blind as much as the fandom wants to make him out to be #its a very willful ignorance #he WILL ignore his problems #and they WILL go away #<- viserys affirmations #last sentence feminist queen viserys 😌#viserys i targaryen #rhaenyra targaryen #harwin strong #asoiaf #asks #my posts

I feel like...

I feel in my anecdotal experience that the relentless and highly performative positivity and affirmation of intensely left-wing people is kind of the processed sugar of human affection

It’s intense, immediate, and good for a short burst, and it definitely feels good, but I can’t help but suspect that there’s no actual nutritional value there, and also that it is slowly lethal

#I'm thinking of all the very leftist/feminist women in particular but some men I've known #who are extremely kind to me out of the gate #but I always feel #or rather know #that I am only one or two moves away from vicious hatred #they accept you but they don't #I find that coffee shops and bars that take great pains to show that they are LGBTetc friendly #always have extremely happy and helpful and friendly employees #but there is also a strange terror or desperation there #I suppose it's not purely leftwing #right wing love is also intensely conditional #I suppose most acceptance and affirmation is fairly shallow when you get right down to it

Do you want an example of the law of assumption? The Love Witch (2016) by Anna Biller.

From the flashbacks and some hints in the movie, we get that Elaine was a plus size girl abused by her father and then minimized by her husband. She reached the lowest point in her life when her husband left her for another woman, and then she began to study parapsychology, through which she found witchcraft.

Then, through witchcraft she change her life; according to her own words, she says that she is into witchcraft because "I wanna have magical powers, but it's not as it sounds. It's about using your will to get what you want".

What is this? The law of assumption.

She got her dream body, and the movie never says how but we can see in the movie that she doesn't care for a diet, as she eat a huge sugar cake, drinks a lot of tea and isn't shy with meat or alcohol. She doesn't work for it, she just manifested it.

She just looked at some guy and she thought that guy is mine, and the guy walked to her and he was hers. Period.

She had this vibe of sexual, attractive and dangerous woman because that's her self-concept.

In the movie, we can see she paints and she sells some witchy stuff, but she isn't employed and she has a fabulous car, a marvelous wardrobe and the apartment she wanted. What is the first thing she tells Trish when she sees the apartment? "It's exactly my taste".

She has everything she wants just the way she wants it, and she goes around with a mindset of fuck my past, I am hot as fuck and I get everything want the second I want it. And she does. All the murders aside.

At the Gathering, we spoke of affirmation as recording over the old tapes patriarchy set playing in our heads to maim and incapacitate us when we were born female—tapes that for many women have been playing continuously and almost exclusively ever since. Operating on this assumption, we thought it was necessary for the message we record over those old tapes to be extravagantly positive, extravagant enough to drown out and drive out the loud, lying, over-learned message underneath. This meant that it wasn't enough to say, "I'm smart." To contradict with strength the feeling of stupidity with which patriarchy has so undercut our confidence, we encouraged one another to say things such as, "I'm absolutely brilliant!" Or, as one woman shouted, "I'm a fuckin' genius!" Our theory was that our ugly, destructive feelings could only be swept away by hyperbole, by superlatives, by very vigorous, very intense language. Words are congealed energy. By controlling our language, men have sucked our energy from us, the energy of our belief in ourselves. Using passionate, puissant words could give us back some of that stolen energy. "So let's use them!" I encouraged everyone. "The biggest, most vivid, most luscious, gorgeous, lavish, radiant, stunning words in any language to describe and heal ourselves."

And women did: I am riotously fun to be with! I am completely lovable just as I am! I am a hell of a leader! I am a brilliant star! I am absolutely gorgeous! I am in complete control of my life! I am totally self-confident! I am an incredibly important person! I am a winner!

Because we taught affirmation as fabulous accounts of our genius and beauty, some women worried about the literal "truth" of our statements. We answered that the feeling we were seeking by affirming ourselves is the truth. Whatever we must say to gain a true feeling was true. To say "I'm a genius," to affirm that, to insist on it, to shout it, may not make me feel like a genius, but it will certainly give me the feeling of being not stupid, perhaps even of being intelligent. And that I am intelligent, that we are all intelligent, is the absolute truth.

Since we knew the women couldn't get together often, we urged them to affirm themselves alone and in small groups. "Each one of us," I told them, "every morning when we awake, should go to the mirror, look ourselves lovingly in the eye, and brag aloud to ourselves about ourselves, something like:

"Good morning, Sonia. How did you get so beautiful? Did you practice all night? Just look at your lovely eyes, brimming with wisdom and humor, with all those gorgeous wrinkles around them. You look vital and healthy and alive—perfect! I'm so glad to be you! So brilliant and funny, playful, passionate, and dedicated. I'm proud at how well you've supported yourself and your kids for so many years in the insecure career of freelance feminist. You're something of a marvel, dear friend, and I love you very much. Never forget that you can always count on me, no matter what. Now go and have a wonderful day. No one ever deserved it more!"

I often suggested to women in other audiences during that time period that since we are the stuff myth is made of, we should create epics, sagas, legends of our victories, our gifts, our incredible lives; in speech and writing and song rhapsodize about ourselves. Just to show how easy it is to do, and to demonstrate how not to care what our paeans sound like to others (and to remind myself how marvelous I am), I occasionally took something I love about myself and mythologized it off the cuff right there at the podium:

"As women are wont to think of our gifts, I once thought of my gift to speak as something independent of me, something that was only using me as a vehicle. But no more. This gift is me, nothing separate. It is attached to my flesh, flows in my veins and arteries, with my blood infuses every organ, every muscle, every cell. It comes out of my life, out of who I was before I was born, out of the longings of my soul, out of the passion of my heart. I am a voice for women—for my sisters, my loves—who have no voice, to whom no one listens. From 5000 woman-years of rage to be free, my voice soars. When I speak, I speak out of the lustiness of my woman's body and mind, out of all women's richest womanhood combined. My whole soul is full of language to honor women's wondrous ways. When I speak of women I am a bird flying, a tree standing against the storm, a dolphin dancing in the sea. When I speak I am all women who ever lived loving me. I feel their smooth arms and tangled hair. I smell their lemony fragrance, taste the tears on their cheeks, kiss their sweet smiles. When I speak I am diffuse—all women of all times. When I speak I am one individual woman, a particular woman. When I speak, I know my name. I know who I am."

I believed then, and still believe, that since we have been so diminished, so inexpressibly smallened and uncreated by phallocracy, we have both an obligation now and the unparalleled opportunity to create ourselves, paint ourselves onto the global canvas with boldest, broadest strokes, most brilliant colors; to portray ourselves as giants, collossi—magical, incandescent, powerful almost beyond imagining—lifting the world out of misery in our hands mighty with love. Goddesses together.

-Sonia Johnson, Going Out of Our Minds: The Metaphysics of Liberation

(1h and 15 min vid, you can also listen to it on Spotify and Apple podcasts)

A very heartbreaking story about ShapeShifter, a detrans gay men who regrets his bottom surgery and talks about his tragic experience/aftermath. I feel so sorry for what the medical field did to Shape. I hope that his experience will share a light on the horrible state of gender affirming care in the USA as well as the trans socialisation.

To all my fellows who tie their sense of self-worth with how productive or how considerably successful they are:

Not everybody thinks the same way you do. Some people don't even consider completing a single task yet they believe the world owes them everything.

Stop being harsh on yourself.

Actually, getting tired of seeing religious debates on my dash

#I know I'm probably in the minority there #But I'm getting sick of Protestants calling Catholics pagans #And Catholics calling Protestants not real Christians #And both accusing the other of not understanding the Bible or Jesus Christ or God #Getting tired of feminists calling Christianity a patriarchal religion...#And some types of Christians taking the bait and kinda sorta affirming aspects of its patriarchalness #Nobody agrees on anything anymore and trying to convince other people you're right isn't Godly #Sorry not sorry #Especially when you drag name-calling and accusative behavior into your ''arguments''#Honestly kind of getting me jaded with organized religion as a whole
