Transona: When you’re not even aware you’re trans yet, but you invent characters that are “you but as a guy/girl” and use them in every role playing game and every single fic you write

When we talk about being fat-positive and we say, “weight is not an indication of health,” I will reblog it. But I want us to also say, “health is not an indication of value.”
I could be at any weight and I will never be healthy, because I am chronically ill. Someone might be chronically ill and fat, or they might be chronically ill and not fat, and it really doesn’t matter.
When you make it about health, you’re saying health is the pinnacle of human achievement, and you’re shitting on those of us for whom health will always be a pipe dream.
Oh Oh
Okay, real talk guys. Coming from someone who’s been held up as an example of “weight is not an indication of health”, this is so SO critical.
Because guess what? I’m chronically ill. I don’t talk about it a whole lot, but I’ve got a pacemaker (from inappropriate sinus tachycardia/ autonomic dysfunction treatment), I’ve got Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, newly diagnosed adrenal insufficiency and am in the process of figuring which autoimmune disorder I have. I will be on steroids (among other medications) indefinitely.
As much as it may look different on the outside, I will never be anyone’s traditional definition of healthy, no matter my weight.
Remember this, and please, please, repeat it as often as necessary to take it to heart: “Health is not an indication of value.”
just learned that my “pupil” is a muscle and that means that fact about your eyes dialiting when you see someone you like actually means that you’re subconsciously and uncontrollablely flexing at your crushes whenever you’re seeing them
[id: an edit from that superman learn how to count book, lex luthor has the ace flag over his head and the text reads “When no one was looking, aces stole the colour purple. And that’s terrible.”]
i want to add, it’s specifically violet that’s a symbol of love between women. bc of the flower appearing in Sappho’s poetry, it’s been a gift that you give to a girl to tell her you like her for centuries. the purples on the bi and ace flags are just different purples, they’re not meant to depict violet at all.
