#Bearded Ladies

The other day I had such a brainwave about PCOS by the way.

Have you guys ever noticed how bearded women in movies about or pictures of old circuses/freak shows are usually fat?

I watched something with a bearded woman at one point and had the random thought "Why are they always depicted as fat? Is that because it's associated with masculinity?" But THEN! I REALIZED!

It's PCOS!!!

PCOS can make women develop facial hair, including full beards! I actually even know a trans man who didn't need HRT for his transition because his PCOS made his voice drop and his facial hair grow enough for him to comfortably present as masculine to his satisfaction. So probably most bearded women in reality had PCOS. And PCOS also often causes weight gain and/or diabetes!

I looked it up and I was right! Which makes me look at the trope and phenomenon in a whole new way. I kind of wish it'd come back in a more positive way in media a little. And that it'd become more common knowledge that cis women can look this way naturally.

@k1ranishf4 is right, @amagnificentobsession.

Girlhood is a spectrum.

I’ve been thinking (surprising, really)

And I’ve come to the conclusion that Bildad the Shuhite and Nanny Ashtoreth give off the same vibe on very different ends of the spectrum

It’s like:

If you don’t like you don’t deserve

me at my me at my

1827 Edinburgh Crowley is in the center of it all

Something like this

*vine boom* girlhood is a spectrum.
