i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are

and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy

I have a friend who is an agender trans man who grew up with the (frankly starvation) standards that are all so often forced on women and his growth was INCREDIBLY hindered. He has been told by doctors that due to malnutrition, he is about 4 inches shorter than he could have been (he was told this was an estimate, of course) and that he would likely never make a full recovery, even if he was to start eating completely healthy portions immediately and do it consistently for the rest of his life.

To me, this mistreatment should absolutely be considered femicide. It is abhorrent and the fact that it is so normalized that most people don't question it makes me sick to my stomach.

I hope this is the exception and not the rule, but when I used to volunteer at the local soup kitchen, some workers gave women less food than anyone else and if they were pregnant, they would get the same servings as cis men, which is still not enough when you are eating for more than yourself.
