All trans bodies are divine.

This is a colorized photo of the first known trans woman in Switzerland to receive governmental permission to live as a woman. Adine T. (1878–1935) learned about new passes in Berlin allowing other trans women to dress how they pleased. Inspired by this knowledge, she went to a psychologist and obtained her own Swiss permit in June 1914!

Adine had an extremely supportive wife, who I also have to highlight. When Adine struggled to find a job after transitioning, her social worker told her, "You cannot expect the public to understand your special situation." Her wife was furious at the comment and made a written complaint against the social worker. She accused them of "plotting against [Adine's] freedom," adding "shame on you, and shame on you again!" Adine later attepted to change her legal name changed, but the government denied her request.

I'll be visiting Switzerland this summer to dig further into her history. More soon!

Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people don’t just “have pain for no reason” doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that “well some people just have pain for no reason” get a new doctor. That’s a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.

[kamorth]

I just wanna add to clarify the psychosomatic thing.

That word DOES NOT MEAN you’re making it up. It doesn’t mean you’re imagining the symptom. What it means is that the symptom ISN’T DIRECTLY CAUSED BY ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD NORMALLY CAUSE IT.

I fought to get a PCOS diagnosis for 2 and a half years. For the ENTIRE time I was fighting, I was dealing with 3 cysts that were not going away by themselves and eventually required surgery to remove. At one point close to the end of the battle, I suddenly went blind. I was visiting my parents and was standing on the veranda looking out over the tree we had planted in memory of my dog and suddenly I got one of the shooting pains that I was quite frankly used to at that point and my vision started to go dark. It was like the sun was setting while being completely hidden behind storm clouds but it was 2pm in the middle of Summer on a clear day. Within about 30 seconds I couldn’t see ANYTHING. I was 27 years old and I was screaming for my mother.

My mum raced me to her doctor (he was a 15 minute drive away as opposed to 45 minutes to the nearest hospital) and he quickly worked out that there was nothing wrong with my eyes and what had happened was totally unrelated to them. Then he said it was psychosomatic and I freaked out, yelling that I was NOT making this up and I definitely wasn’t imagining it. Very quickly he calmed me down and said he believed me and I had misunderstood. He explained that whatever was going on with my abdominal pains (he suggested PCOS which I hadn’t even heard of at that point) had been ignored for so long that my body was starting to do things other than the normal pain response to try to draw my attention to the problem. My sight going was my body basically jumping around in front of me going “HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME HELLLOOOOOOO??????”

He gave me some prescription strength painkillers and my sight started to come back as soon as they started to kick in. About 45 minutes after it started I could see well enough to walk around without help and within a day and a half I was back to normal. On top of that I finally had a scan booked to figure out what the hell was causing all the pain.

Psychosomatic symptoms are NOT imagined or fabricated or happening for “no reason”. Experiencing them DOES NOT make you a liar. It makes you someone who has been battling with something serious for so long that your own body has started to get impatient with you.

[oscarwildeboytoy-deactivated201]

I completely agree. Thank you for sharing this.

[antique-scarecrow]

Psychosomatic symptoms are literally your body flipping random alarm switches just to get any alarm blaring because you’ve been ignoring the regular ones

if you comment some demanding shit like this on fanfic writers’ works, you don’t deserve the privilege of getting to read fanfiction for free

After redesigning the packaging of the products to resemble the main ingredients of their formula, Uzon -a korean skincare brand- had a boost in sales. Gee, I wonder why🤔

Watching TikTok try and rewrite fandom history by saying fandom culture was created by teenage girls makes me eye twitch to an extent I’ve never felt it twitch before. The middle aged women printing out Spirk erotica to share with each other in the 1900s did not die for this!!!! How dare you erase our important historic moments!!! You would be nowhere without the 30 year old women who dedicated their free time to making these spaces happen. Put some respect on their names!!!!

[rivendellrose]

#this is true but 'in the 1900s' just murdered me in my chair#that's not incorrect but also that's WRONG

[koobiie]

yeah sorry your princess came back wrong :(

general consensus is - she is just fine this way, or depending on who you ask - even better than before!

[gochokeyourself-moved]

I love cnc because it’s just clingy, touchstarved, lonely angels who want to be wanted so bad they need it forced from them. They need to be needed, they need to know that I want them so bad I would hurt them for it. Violate them for it. Break them for it.

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

There’s something so uniquely terrifying about memory issues. I feel like my self is slipping away from me.

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

Here’s the thing I feel like a lot of folks don’t get: I’m not trying to forget what you said. Honestly, I really tried not to. I can’t control what I do and don’t remember—forgetting things just happens. It’s annoying for you, I know, but for me it’s distressing as hell and when you make a big deal out of it rather than just reminding me you make me feel ashamed. I’ll remember that, at least.

It costs you nothing to be kind to people with memory problems. Please. It’s scary enough without people treating memory lapses as a personal failing.

Hey, reblog this version instead, please!

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

some of you are not brats you just want to quip while you get your ass whooped like spider-man

[innumerable-voices]

I've written about this before but because the idea of a 'brat' is so widespread a lot of subs get given that label without anyone putting serious thought into if they deserve it. Treating someone who just enjoys banter like they're a brat will cause resentment and eventually a break in the dynamic if not addressed. Sorry to be serious on your joke post OP I've just seen this happen several times now.

[the-quasar-hero]

Honestly I miss the energy Tumblr had when the first Pacfic Rim movie came out. Everybody was talking about who they were drift compatible with and that was like a huge compliment. Ppl were drawing Kaijus, and Jaegers, naming ‘em. It was a better time

[ienactforcefem]

there are so many of you that i'm not satisfied to know just once. i wish i could live so many more lives just to know you again and again.

[ienactforcefem]

i love you, trans women.
