This attitude that any disagreement between a woman and the trans community makes the woman a terf is infuriating. It makes me angry and less likely to feel welcoming towards transwomen when transwomen (and their misguided allies) call afab women TERFs if we dare to object to changes in society driven by transwomen tha…

I’m not trying to make a case. All I am saying is that this a complex issue where both the rights of trans women athletes and the concerns of cis-women athletes are valid.

Was LeBron James or Lisa Leslie on your HS team? That’s crazy.

I 100% believe these girls who were born as boys identify as female and are trans.

The further you get from cultural beauty mean the smaller the pool of people that will find you attractive, but with as connected as our world is we shouldn’t have to worry that we are too whatever to be attractive to the 2 available people in our village. I don’t think fundamentally being competition bodybuilding is…

Yeah, agreed. I don’t think people want the first option (muscle covered by fat) but a lot of women don’t want the kind of pronounced muscles you get from being extremely lean and weightlifting, either. There’s some mythical sweet spot, where you’re “fit” but not too ripped that I think a lot of women shoot for. Of…

“Generally what people mean when they say ‘I don’t want to get bulky,’ they’re referring to the look where you have a good amount of muscle on your frame but you also have a good amount of fat covering it.”

I think a contributing factor is no one talks about is that steriod use is pretty much required if you want to get as ripped as some of the pro crossfitters/fitness women out there. You don’t just start lifting weights and wake up looking like Christmas Abbott if that’s what you’re afraid of.

Seriously with this title? Come the fuck on you guys. Do better. Do you actually believe Netflix said to Old Navy “hey go find some white employees to have in the background” of Queer Eye?  

Ehhhh. I’m sure control is the root of it for a some, but a lot of people want to paint weed like it’s as casual as having coffee and that isn’t the case for everyone. Heavy drinking is a reason to end a marriage IMO, I don’t see weed any differently. Some people’s personalities suck when they’re high, or they just…

The Neverfull may have full Basic (TM) status now but there is a reason LV sells the ever living fuck out of those bags. High Quality, durable takes fucking everything. Also see far more status chic Goyard bags. 

One year when I was a young kid my dad, being an early riser, came pounding on our bedroom door saying we were going to be late for the bus. We all freaked out and ran downstairs. It was Saturday, April 1, and he had made pancakes. How is this hard, internet dipshits?

Amen. My body was imperfect before kids, even less perfect after them, and now I’ve lost a breast - one of the parts of my body I’ve always loved and felt good about. I find it incredibly ironic that if I get reconstruction, they’ll take the part I’ve always felt the worst about, my stomach flap, and make that into a…

100%. I got my “post-baby body” (read: a body with *gasp!* stretch marks & saggy boobs) at age 11 when puberty ran my ass over like a mac truck going 150. I went from normal kid to looking like a 32-year-old who had 4 kids in less than three months, because not only did my body mature, my face did, too. I’ve had…

Insulin resistance, hormonal issues, and thyroid issues also come into play, so for some people it really isn’t. 

The idea of “healthy at every size” is not that a specific individual will be equally healthy at any size. The idea is that weight alone is not a good general indicator of health as one person’s healthy weight may be another person’s concerningly under- or overweight. Alas, “It is possible for people to live healthy…

“I didn’t read the post!”

really though. so much of this body positivity stuff is fucking weak. some people do it well, but if i see another weight loss picture tagged “body positive” instead of “diet culture positive” i’m gonna fucking scream.
