#revolian positivity

[revolian-positivity]

Whatever you’re going through, know that it takes time.

It takes time to reach the destination, but you’re on the road, heading into that direction right now.

It takes time to reach the top, but you’re making your way up there right now.

It takes time to find happiness, but what you’re going through only gets you ready for that.

It’s never all over- remember you were once happy, and you will be again. Just keep your head up and move forward.

Don’t let Billie Eilish’s sudden change of style make you think that girls who are “tomboys” or more boyish are just going through a phase that they will grow out of when they “become women” and “embrace femininity”.

Also, don’t fall victim to the narrative that wearing baggy clothing as a woman means you are insecure or “hate yourself” or your body and you will wear revealing clothing when you “learn to love yourself”. That is not a positive message for young girls. Believe it or not, you can love your body and yourself and wear baggy clothing and not have a very sexualized or hyper- feminine style. Don’t let a society that sexualizes everything tell you otherwise.

When someone tells me, a revolian, that a man cannot have long hair and he needs to cut it short

[revolianposts]

“Girls are naturally more beautiful than boys”

Girls are expected, by society, to remove all their body hair, wax their moustaches and eyebrows, wear makeup, have long shiny hair, be skinny, wear pretty and “matching” clothing and by doing that they end up looking more beautiful than men who don’t do all these things. That’s it. There isn’t a biological element to it, it’s all social constructs. Nothing physically stops men from doing this as well.

[revolian]

Dear straight cis men:

-you are allowed to wear makeup

-you can have long hair and pretty colors in it

-you can do your eyebrows or have a skincare routine

-you can have a flamboyant fashion sense

And you can do all of the above and still be masculine and your sexuality is valid. Please don’t feel compelled to conform to social norms- break the chains.

You aren’t less of a man for not being “tall enough”.

You aren’t less of a man for not being “very muscular”.

You aren’t less of a man for liking makeup, having long hair, being sensitive, gesticulating.

You aren’t less of a man for being a revolian and not conforming to the stereotypical idea our society has of masculinity.

You’re still a man and you’re probably gorgeous too. You go, boy!!

Hi! If you say straight boys are not allowed to be fragile or cry (or break gender stereotypes) we can't be friends!

Some tumblr user which I’m not going to name because I genuinely feel sorry for her, recently stained the name of Revolianism by calling us terfs, and then she said we have a “pride flag”, even though that is impossible because we are not LGBT in any way shape or form and don’t want to intrude either, we just have a flag to show positivity for us, which she decided to hate on, and on top of that, she said that only girls are revolians 😂 (just so you have an idea about how informed she really is). Thoughts and prayers 😔🙏🏻

P.S if you can’t see her post it’s because she blocked pretty much anyone who ever posted in “revolian” or “revolianism” hashtags because she didn’t want us to be able to defend ourselves. A real brave legend.

Look, I’m all for male positivity. You don’t have to be tall, muscular, strong, bad boy type BUT if you say things such as “long haired men look like women!” or “guys who wear makeup are gay/look like women” or “short haired girls are ugly/ all short haired girls are lesbians” then yeah, you don’t deserve any positivity, because quite frankly you’d rather be sexist, bitter, bigoted and jealous.

And if you are jealous of revolian men or hate revolian women- then yeah, no positivity for you. Sorry, I don’t make the rules, common sense does.

If you know any revolians, tell them how special they are right now.

It takes real guts to go against all expecations and battle all the stereotypes just to be yourself in a society that manages to discourage anyone who is different.

Being invalidated everyday is certainly not easy and being told that “once you grow up you will end up conforming to these gender stereotypes you dislike right now” is really discouraging for any young person.

So, spread some positivity and compliment a revolian today.

Okay, but if "tomboy" is a bad and offensive term/concept then what other single word/term can be used to describe specifically masculine gender-nonconfirming straight women and girls? Which can be claimed by them as a positive word

Revolian is a thing on some Tumblr blogs, but any other ideas?

[revolian-positivity]

Sometimes you need to realize that you’ve survived the toughest days so far.

You went through some hard things, but you kept going. And that makes me proud of you. You’re a fighter, not a loser. You never lost a battle, you survived through all of them. And that’s a win.

[revolianposts]

“Positive” by being a bigot? Lmao just say you hate revolians and go

straight tomboys are the dollar store version of butches

[revolian-positivity]

You are NOT worthless.

You are NOT unloveable.

You are NOT a burden.

So maybe you didn’t find that special someone yet, maybe you failed your driver’s test, maybe you failed an exam, maybe you feel like you have no friends, maybe you feel betrayed. That will all be fixed in time.

Just because you might see other people around you who seem like they got their lives together, that doesn’t mean that you’re doing something wrong.

You deserve to be happy and you will. Do not give up on all you achieved so far just because you compare yourself to others. Everybody has a different path.

There comes a time in your life when you realize that a LOT of your social interactions as a woman are heavily influenced by whether or not you are perceived as being conventionally attractive.

Hello, I’m just a simple revolian and I’m here to tell you that masculinity doesn’t strictly revolve around how physically strong you are, how many girls you get, how tall you are, how well you “keep your emotions to yourself”.

Masculinity can also mean being sensitive, being attentive, loving fashion, having long badass hair, being brave enough to open up to others about your feelings and not give into the pressure of being “macho” just because “that’s how a man should be”.
