Book recommendation for yall! Found this in the library and checked it out bc I was a curious. It’s a really interesting look at the lives of women in the UK and the lesbian community, and has lots of chunks of stories from the various folks who were interviewed
The stories are very honest and very interesting! It has a lot of different answers to questions such as “how do people conceptualize themselves when they don’t have the language to do so” and is super insightful, I think a lot of it is applicable to non-UK folk as well
If your local library has it, definitely give it a read!

so i finally got my pcos diagnosis this year last year and i decided to look into online communities for people with pcos to see how people deal with a lot of the symptoms because the whole never ending period thing is really fucking annoying. and shaving all the time is really annoying. and having a five o'clock shadow is really annoying.
and i totally thought these communities and overall people with pcos would be a lot more welcoming and understanding with trans women. but they're not. specifically on reddit and tiktok, i've seen trans women who've attempted to relate to cis women with pcos be met with vitriol and loathing. it's very baffling to me. because i feel like if anyone could relate to having an unwanted ability to grow a beard caused by pcos, it would be trans women.
and overall there's a lot of self loathing within a lot of cis women with pcos. i've seen many refer to themselves are diseased and seemingly experience a lot of dysphoria from the excessive hair growth. on top of that, i've seen a lot of fatphobia being internalized and shared around in these communities. there's just so much self hatred from cis women who hate their bodies for their inability to conform to popularized beauty standards.
i have a very different view of having pcos from these people, so i find myself unable to relate to a lot of their experiences when so many people have such large emotions around having this condition. and those emotions and feelings are valid!! however, i just don't have any emotionally charge experiences with pcos outside of annoyance. it just makes my life a bit more inconvenient, but i don't find it all encompassing like so many people seem to
#anyway some of the best advice to deal with things like excessive facial hair imo have come from trans women and drag queens#and it's terrible how many cis women scorn any advice from trans women or drag queens. and are overall transmisogynistic#the moth talks about pcos#also this was partly inspired by a tiktok of a trans women calling another trans women delusional for claiming to have pcos#and i would like to point out that people without ovaries and cis men CAN have a pcos like condition. it's really interesting#and research might even suggest right now that pcos isn't actually caused by ovaries#but instead they contribute to the condition in some way or the effects of ovaries are just a symptom for people who have that anatomy#interesting stuff!!#but back to my point#the comments were filled with people ripping that trans woman apart for claiming to have what many consider the worst part of their bodies#and thanking the trans woman who made the video calling the other delusional for pointing out how horrific it is to claim to have pcos#but again with the fact cis men and people without ovaries can exhibit something very very close to pcos#i think it's entirely in the original trans woman's right to say she has it#and the large push back against that claim being from 1. a large amount of self hatred and disdain for pcos#and 2. ignorance and a lack of knowledge on current research#and 3. let's be real probably some transmisogny from the commenters of the tiktok#and also pcos as a name for the condition sucks#there are phenotypes for pcos btw#and only one phenotype has presentation of cysts of the ovaries#so all these people claiming that you need to have cysts on the ovaries (and thus ovaries) to have pcos are kind of wrong#but considering only part of all people diagnosed with pcos actually have cysts on their ovaries#pcos is objectively a terrible name

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)
the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)
all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)
you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!
and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!

For example, writing fanfiction in which a canonically lesbian character has a relationship with a man; writing about a canonically asexual character having sex; etc.
