If I had enough money to live casually and happily for the rest of my life, then it wouldn't matter, sign me the fuck up.
If you got enough money to live happily and comfortably for the rest of your life, but everyone who saw you immediately knew what fandom you are in and understood what that means, would you take it?

alicent + (lack of) bodily autonomy
"This felt like a baptism. Stripping the outer layer, and that f-cking collar [laughs]. Her getting into the lake on her own is embryonic, in a way. It’s weirdly a coming-of-age moment for Alicent—the start of the rest of her life, what she’s about to do, and the woman she’s possibly about to become." (x)
#alicenthightowerdaily#alicenthightoweredit#houseofdragonedit#hotdedit#alicent hightower#house of the dragon#i hope the vision is clear...#there's a lot of (interesting) discourse about alicent's arc this season and whether it did right by her or not#but i really appreciated this facet of the arc#it was a downwards spiral of like waning control and disillusionment and loss#but imo an upwards spiral of like reclaiming some bodily and mental autonomy (to a certain degree)#and that was painful but also worth rooting for and satisfying to watch#i think i'm still cheering for her abortion fjgkldjglkjdf#i could have waited for ep 8 to include the blue dress but i think the peak of this arc re doing what she wants with her body-#-that the climactic organ point of the arc was indeed the swimming so might as well#my gifsets

Okay, are belly button piercings "trashy," or do you just associate them with femininity, or women, or sex work and strike it down as inherently less worthy? Are 'tramp stamps' "trashy", or do you just associate them with femininity, or women, or sex work and strike it down as inherently less worthy? Is pole dance "trashy", or do you associate it with women, or sex work and strike it down as inherently less worthy?
These are examples, but I find it interesting when people link things with womanhood or femininity or - gasp! - sex work and then immediately condemn, scrutinize, and dehumanize those who even dapple a little in these things, even if it isn't for sex work or to "look trashy." It's funny how the feminine or woman is seen as trashy until proven otherwise, and it's shameful that people still hold the bias that women must prove their humanity by not "being trashy" or "acting like a hooker."
#feminism#look i'm not arguing sex work with people but it's funny that SWers are seen as less than human unless they have a sad story or they hate..#...themselves for 'stooping so low.' and it's funny that women bear both brunts of misogyny (sarcasm)#i'm saying this as a man who is also 'trashy' because i exercise my bodily autonomy every chance i get#just got my belly button done and i think it's a lovely body mod that can be so versatile#same with lower back tattoos!!! some of them are SO pretty in design and artistry#misogyny#misogyny tw#as i get older i realize just how deep the misogyny and policing of ESPECIALLY femininity and those who are/are forced to be/ect women#frankly a woman should be able to 'be trashy' or 'act like a hooker' and not fear for their safety or wellness#again i say all this as a man but i also want women* to feel safe and able to exercise the same bodily autonomy i do as a man

The radfem idea that trans men are "mutilated" or "poor little girls turning into gross disgusting men" or "a loss to all women" etc is so infuriating.
Our entire existence and expression should not be molded into what some radfem says is best for us. Bodily autonomy means that I am the expert on my own body, and I know what is best for myself.
My body does not exist to be fuckable or attractive to you. My body is my own and I will do whatever the fuck I want to it to help me live a comfortable, happy life. If I begin to look like a man, good.
#transandrophobia#transphobia#radblr seems to forget that bodily autonomy is an important think#and also that I am utterly disinterested in arguments over the beauty I'm losing#I don't give a shit if I'm fuckable to you#I don't want to fuck you#and I never will#I would rather be happy than attractive#+beauty is always connected to confidence in my personal opinion#and I am more confident when I am proudly out and trans

reproductive rights are directly related to trans rights
motherfucker if you're trans and you tell me you don't care about reproductive justice, i need you to fucking think for a second.
you are trans. the government wants to take away your bodily autonomy. guess who else the government wants to do that to? WOMEN/ANYONE WHO CAN HAVE A LITERAL BABY (WHICH INCLUDES TRANS PEOPLE!!!!)
dont tell me you "want to remain neutral" and "prefer not to get involved" when you are LITERALLY THE VICTIM HERE AND ARE BEING TARGETED!!!!

i told my physical therapist today about how i plan to get a xenomorph tattooed on my hip to highlight my hysterectomy scar, bc when i still had my reproductive organs i likened period cramps etc to having a live-in chestburster, then after surgery the complications that stupid lil ½" bastard scar gave me made it feel like i still had an alien parasite ravaging my innards... so the tattoo will be an homage to all it took to overcome that long painful history, as well as a way to honor my beloved monster wife.
then she shared a story about a close friend of hers who found out she had a tumor the size of a clementine that had been growing in her brain since childhood. it was safely removed & she's fine now, and she got a tattoo of a clementine slice behind her ear near where the tumor had been as a fun little inside joke with herself.
and i think about the long history of medicinal tattooing, and of people using ink to either cover or accentuate past wounds ranging from self harm to cancer to gender transition and everything in between and i just. i love how humans tell stories with our bodies. i love that we get to decorate the shapes that house our souls to reflect our experiences and celebrate our survival and carry what we find beautiful with us for life.
#ctxt#meatsuit renno#tattoos#to be clear i have some stupid ass tattoos with embarrassing stories behind them#and others where the story is just 'idk i thought it would look neat!'#but a lot of them do have something more behind them. whether it's the subject of the tattoo the time & place i got it or who i got it with#it doesn't have to mean anything. but more often than not it does. and even the 'dumb' tattoos are like#ways that i've reaffirmed my bodily autonomy & independence?#i feel more embodied in a body covered in ink. i take better care of the areas of my skin that are tattooed bc my skin is worth caring for#that's true always but it's easier sometimes when i feel like i'm curating a living museum. moisturizing artwork.#applying sunscreen to my life story made flesh#u know how it is

There is no sociocultural cure-all for having a habit of sticking your nose in other people's business and getting shocked and upset at what you find. Whatever you imagine about the people around you is strictly a you problem, and they haven't shoved your face in it if you were the one who got nosy.
#If seeing someone in lether makes you helplessly imagine gay sex‚ maybe this says more about you than about the leather#and to get excruciatingly real: if that does happen and it IS upsetting to you‚ those are intrusive thoughts and you need to seek treatment#I'm sorry but your symptoms and your trauma are your own responsibility‚ as unfair as it is.#You can ask your community to be mindful of your needs‚ but you're not entitled to restrict others' bodily autonomy.#Trying to force the general public to adopt a lifestyle you personally approve of is apocalyptically entitled behavior and also fascist#Figure out how to swallow your disgust. Getting upset is not the same as having been personally attacked. Get over yourself.

An Open Letter to the Single-Issue Pro-Life Voter
What do you want more: For abortion to be illegal? Or for fewer abortions to occur?
There’s a reason so many of the Left think that all single issue pro-life voters are obsessed with controlling women’s bodies: because most of your official allies are more interested in punishing people for their pregnancies than in doing anything that could actually be called pro life.
But I know many of you really DO want to save lives, to make lives viable. I trust your hearts—because I used to be one of you.
I argued against abortion with the best of 'em, not because I wanted to push my religion into law, or to control anyone, but because of my belief in that life should be defended, and my genuine care for the unborn.
I’ve learned a lot. Some of my positions have changed, and some of them haven’t.
I’ve faced the fact that one person has the right withhold their own bodily resources as a matter of course. Even after our own death, in the United States, use of our body’s lifesaving resources is not legal without our prior consent.¹
I’ve faced the fact that “risk to the life of the mother” is a reality that stalks every pregnancy, always present and recently rising in the U.S., and a person has the right to refuse that risk.²
I’ve learned more about the dangers of ectopic pregnancies, the primary drivers of late-term abortions.³
I’ve learned the truth about blastocysts and how long it actually takes before an embryo resembles anything more than a bacterial culture, and what a 6 week pregnancy really looks like.⁴
I’ve learned that abortion was not even considered an issue for American Christians until after the religious Right lost the culture war around the Civil Rights movement.⁵
But even without all those factors, this counterintuitive fact would have stopped me in my tracks on the way to the voting booth: The number of abortions INCREASES the more legal restrictions there are.⁶
I’ve never actually stopped believing that human life begins at conception (however fragile, alien, and fleeting—especially if it fails to attach to the uterine wall, as happens to an estimated 30-70% of fertilized eggs). Ultimately, though, that’s just my opinion, founded in philosophical thought experiment and ~vibes~ and nothing else—not even the Bible.
But even if it were an objectively true and proven fact…
I would still be less interested in jailing the people who disagreed with me, and more interested in creating the world I want to see: a fair and free society, where sexual assault is rare, sexual education is clear and honest, unwanted pregnancies are few, healthcare is robust and continually improving, and children are desired and supported—before and after they’re born. And yes, in this world, abortions are as rare as they are free of fear and shame.
We may not be able to create this whole reality right now, but what we can do is decrease the number of abortions, in ways that are consistently shown to be reliable.
I’m pro-choice now. And I never had to give up on caring about babies.
I’m not asking anyone to let go of being pro-life. But I am asking you to join me in allying with the people whose policies support life in all its stages. Which is proven to inherently lower the number of abortions.
One party’s leaders push against contraception. Against the sex education that leads to more teens waiting longer before losing their virginity.⁷
Against creating infrastructure that supports people through pregnancy and beyond, against supporting people in feeding and educating their children.⁸
The other party wants to support people in making informed and independent choices about their bodies—which statistically leads to more confidence in saying “No,” or “I’m waiting,” or “Not without protection,” to sex.⁹
They want to support peoples’ health and well-being.¹⁰
They want to create a future in which children are a real option, an option compatible with getting an education, with keeping your income, with food and housing.¹¹
They want to rebuild a financial landscape in which a single income could take care of a whole family.¹²
I used to feel jarred and confused by having to choose between bundled-together policies that saved the lives of the unborn but left everyone else to struggle in a lack of support callously dubbed “freedom”, and policies that promoted abortion access as an important freedom, but aligned with my values of protecting and uplifting life in every other way.
Now that I know easy access to safe and legal abortion lowers rates of abortion, especially when paired with education, healthcare, and financial stability, my choice is more obvious than ever. My choice, as it always has been, is life.

It's so interesting how I could get my ears pierced at a Claire's in under ten minutes, at age 8, without being harassed by adults who cry "what if you regret it???"
I did regret it, mind you. Hated getting the piercings, hated caring for them, hated wearing them- almost never did. I got an infection, my piercing holes closed but there's always be a little scar there, I still have pain in my ears intermittently. Suffering the long term ramifications of body mods at age 8 because my mom thought it'd be cute.
Nobody was there to explain the possible risks and benefits, I didn't have to go to three therapists and I didn't have to wait until I was 16 or 18 or 20 or whatever. Just walked into a mall and had my body permanently altered. But somehow that was fine.
#idk my ears are hurting again and i'm just fucking thinking about how maybe these arguments over 'bodily autonomy' aren't about#trans people's wellbeing or nothin.#this was commonplace in the early 2010s. like all the girls in my school had their ears pierced and the ones who didnt really wanted to#and how its fine that parents can do things to their childrens bodies that they might regret But Not Give Them Puberty Blockers GOD FORBID#this is a topic also relevant to intersex discussions re unnecessary surgeries on children#but im not intersex and i think someone else who is could connect these two things much better

#the kinks definitely aren't too extreme or anything#it's like. dubcon/noncon/s&m/kidnapping bondage/humiliation kink/erotic-leaning nonconsensual body modification/etc.#and they're more there to further the work's broader exploration of dehumanization/bodily autonomy/the transitive nature of identity/etc.#y'know the usual#but I worry I may lose a significant following if it's at all attached to my gen work :')#especially bc my friends tell me often and eagerly that I am absolute dogshit at writing smut bc I care too much ab what the characters are#thinking and complete neglect more physical aspects of sex unless they're expressly psychologically impactful/reflect on character dynamic#I'm asexual so the parts of sex that interest me are typically related to explorations of personhood rather than face value pleasure#anyways all this to say I already wrote the fic but I'm a coward who's too afraid of backlash to publish it without screening first for#potential consequences so here you go :')#ik I'm lame it's a real issue 😔
