Honestly when I hear people say “not receiving gender affirming surgeries will make me feel suicidal” I hear the same thing as if someone said “if I don’t get a nose job I’ll feel suicidal”

It’s a physical insecurity that wouldn’t exist in a vacuum. I’m sorry that you were influenced to feel this way, but surgery will not fix something that is rooted in self-hatred. If you change it with surgery, you will find another insecurity to fixate on within a week.

Also, can we talk about how rebranding gender affirming surgery as some life-saving procedure is just promoting and glamorising a very misogynistic and corrupt industry.

if you don't want people to bind for years because of dangers to ribs and lungs, you should be advocating for easier access to top surgery...

Lmao as if top surgery doesn’t come with its own risks. You might as well say ‘shapewear isn’t good, so what women should get is liposuction :) ’. How about coming to peace with your body? Whatever happened to that?

I know I've talked about this before, but as somebody with Strong features who has been mocked for it, it really infuriates me when people bully others for changing their strong features through surgery instead of criticizing beauty culture, you know, a big issue as to why people with strong or ethnic features are often bullied or even discriminated against. When you bully people for altering their appearance through surgery, you may just be victim-blaming somebody. Beauty culture is the issue, not somebody using their bodily autonomy as they see fit.

#beauty culture #honestly i think one of the reasons people have stopped mocking me for my features is simply because... #...they were 'masculinizing' features and since i am a man people aren't as willing to 'call it out'... #...now that people have recognized my manhood i've noticed they're less inclined to call out the features they see as masculine... #...because it's like saying 'the sky is blue!!!!' and expecting people to be horrified and shocked #even in a post-beauty culture world 'cosmetic' plastic surgery would still exist #because it is an aspect of bodily autonomy #i have some Thoughts on this #(i will say in the first few tags that people have still pointed out my features but like. my dysphoria doesn't latch onto it anymore) #(and i've embraced that i just look Like My Dad and i always have and probably always will) #this was just inspired by somebody expressing that they changed their strong feature because of bullying/beauty culture... #...and people were making fun of *her* instead of criticizing and hating beauty culture for tormenting her for how she existed #would she have changed her strong nose if not for beauty culture? who knows because that isn't the world we're living in rn #but you can't just ignore how painful it was to have been TORMENTED for your NATURAL BODY #like that's honestly the lowest of the low imo #and i 100% support her decision because her bodily autonomy is *absolute* #without bodily autonomy you have NOTHING. if you do not OWN your body you own NOTHING.

i think if you're going to get big mad at me in my notes over a version of my post that you just made up then you should at least check to make sure that your complaint isn't the literal first thing i addressed in the reblog that for some reason isn't circulating anymore

#.txt #someone getting mad at me for Ignoring Eurocentrism on that post abt surgery and bodily autonomy #as though my literal first reblog isn't explaining that there's no clear and meaningful way to separate trans surgeries from cosmetic ones #as far as describing a relationship to racist + eurocentric norms goes - trans surgeries are formulated around those norms too! #and if u want a coherent politic of surgery that doesn't cede easy ground to reactionaries then u have to be prepared to tackle+ #+eurocentrism + racism whilst advocating for uncaveated access to body modification for all. anything else is a nonsense position. #what's funny is i didn't even say Don't Criticise Surgery: i said that the bottom line of yr criticism has to be bodily autonomy lmao

[fivestrandbraid]

‘You either believe in bodily autonomy or you don’t’

Sure but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t analyze the reasons people make the decisions they do like….

#I literally don’t care what people do to their own bodies but the cosmetic surgery industry definitely deserves criticism lmao

[watercreature]

guys seriously i cant believe we’re arguing about cosmetic surgery. there’s nothing wrong with your body! when we start acting like our bodies are play dough figurines to mould we disconnect from ourselves! they are encouraging insecurities to make money off of you getting these surgeries like i thought you guys were anti capitalist yeesh

#anti capitalist until you wanna look pretty #as if that shit is hand crafted to make you hate yourself and buy shit #you can say whatever you want about bodily autonomy like we need to have actually critical discussions about this #who’s wanting you to get cosmetic surgeries and why????????

@ testosteronejew on Twitter made a thread recently about her botched top surgery :’( the doctor responsible has no malpractice insurance so she won’t be able to sue but it was a life-threatening situation. truly horrible.

Image limit, I’ll put the rest in a reblog

I don't really like rammstein that much anymore but their new album has a song literally called "fat tits" which like yeah

#so far i'm not vibing with a lot of the album i feel like there is some.really good social criticism but mixed into #some stuff that feels like it's edgy just for the sake of it #but that's a problem i have with them in general #also it really really sucks that they talk about gender reassignment surgery in a song that is #about criticising cosmetic surgery🤔 #resi.txt

Always grounding talking to other women about bullshit misogyny in the current day, and once you rock the boat just a bit they find that it’s ok to speak their minds freely

Also can’t believe my roommate seemed genuinely surprised that individuals would transition for fetish-based reasons

#not that she can wrap her head around the fact that this friend is calling himself a woman now #but when you throw in the story that he would secretly cross dress and kept it from his girlfriend now wife #it does beg the question of when exactly did that line of thinking emerge #she does seem a bit startled though and confided that she wouldn’t be able to handle that if her husband did the same #just because she’s attracted to males… and he’d still be male at the end of the day… #also love how we had that conversation and then somehow ended up both criticizing cosmetic surgery haha

“Trans surgeries don’t happen…but also if they DO happen and you try to stop them as a parent…that’s parental abuse. And doctors will face no consequences for performing anything described as “gender affirming care” on a minor without their parent’s consent.”

Are you people insane?

Some of y'all try to be sooooo liberal that you literally circle right back around to conservative ideology and you don't even realize it

[gongenzaka]

There’s so many terfs and anti-SW on this one popular post about eating disorders/makeup/plastic surgery, and then people in the comments are upsetty spaghetti that some of us disagree with the post in the first place because we know where this shit’s going looool.

#grimmtalks #if you’re blocked and don’t know why I just went on a blocking spree because I don’t trust y’all with #this stuff. especially if I don’t know where you stand on certain issues. #also yes you should be allowed to have purely cosmetic surgery if you want it. #I don’t want to hear all the ‘if it makes you feel better sure but think critically about why it does’ bullshit one more time #you don’t want x y or z? #cool. but you don’t get to decide for the people that do x y or z #you talk about those people who want x y or z being manipulated into it? aren’t you being manipulative trying to stop them? #lol #also maybe I’m sensitive about this but that’s what happens when you’re bullied and manipulated for acting hyper feminine/effeminate #and that’s not even getting into the transphobia using the same sort of shit reasoning I’ve had to deal with #edit: one last salty addition- I saw someone on that post talking about how MEN using makeup and calling it empowering were part of the #problem or whatever and just #you do know men get killed for being perceived as too feminine right? #you know that feminine self expression IS empowering for a lot of men RIGHT??? I’m so tired ugh

astro observations

Accuracy influenced by entire chart.

🪻 Family member w/ a cap venus met his wife at her workplace.

- This placement is generally attracted to polite, well-dressed/groomed people. Partnerships work best when the partner has a steady plan for their future. Cap venus spouses generally are: reliable, humble, and hardworking.

🪻 Taurus Venus+7th H Venus may have relationships (friends, lovers, and business) with lazy people. (lazy is a harsh word but I can’t think of a better one)

- Ex 1. My taurus venus friend had a partner in university who was financially supported by their parents well into adulthood. This resulted in the partner having terrible work ethic. Their laziness resulted in unemployment and lack of ambition in career.

- Ex 2. This taurus venus had a partner who would ask to cancel dates to stay at home. They preferred to spend most of their free time gaming. Very much a homebody.

🪻 Aqua is a fixed sign and I’ve noticed aqua venus people have fixed types physically. And their “type” can often be physically different from them.

- Ex 1. Aqua venus man says he loves to date tall girls. He’s about 6 feet and has only ever dated women very close to his height. And right now is trying to rizz up a woman taller than him.

- Ex 2. The other aqua venus has only dated men from a different racial background than her. The type is “fixed” because the men are always the same race although different than her.

🪻Venus in 9th H woman ik is in a long distance relationship. I know it’s such a generic example of this placement but it’s accurate!

🪻 Gemini Venus friend loves a lil toxicity. Picking fights to get the other person riled up in a fun & loving way.

- This may be a negative manifestation of this placement. Because (generally) this placement is prone to get bored in long term connections. This does not mean that they don’t love their partner or they can’t have a forever relationship. It means partnership work best with partners who have a youthful energy. Someone who is as curious and clever as they are.

- This placement’s likely to have a spouse who is witty, a little devious in their humour but overall intelligent & respectable.

🪻 Not all libra risings have symmetrical bodies. If the ruler, venus is afflicted you may have some asymmetrical features. This does not mean you are unattractive.

- Libra rising w/ venus in scorpio & venus conjunct mars. She has asymmetrical dimples.

- Libra rising conjunct mars. She has had a prominent scar on the left side of her chest from a heart surgery she had as a child. ngl it looks badass. my scorpio venus is intrigued & wld love a scar like this.

🪻 6th H chiron can manifest as becoming extremely critical of oneself. I’ve noticed 6th H chiron people are likely to seriously consider & get cosmetic surgeries.

- Person A w 6th H chiron in gemini is open to their circle about having rhinoplasty (nose job). They aren’t ashamed and I’ve seen them give info and joke to those who are curious/interested. Ex: Joking that “you should try learning to contour your nose before spending so much”

- But Person B has 6th H chiron in scorpio. When they had their cosmetic surgery done, they only told those who it was necessary to tell. Like the people who would be taking care of them in their recovery. They have told me they joke to their social circles that they’re just a late bloomer to avoid speculation.

🪻 As a scorpio venus, it is nice to see our loyalty being constantly recognized and appreciated. However, that is such a generic analysis of this placement. Often people seem to forget that Scorpio deals with possession and power dynamics.

- Ex: Scorpio venus man asked for a one sided open marriage from his wife after she has their first child. This allowed him to see other women but she was not allowed to see other men (nor did she want to though). She was incredibly hurt but did not want to be a single mom. And she did financially rely on him as well. This is a negative manifestation of scorpio venus. Instead of loyalty, there were toxic power dynamics at play.

🪻 Ruler of 10th in 7th. I’ve noticed these people can mainly become known for who they are dating or dated.

Ex: This can manifest as having a partner who is more social or popular in their social circles.

Ex.2. It can be negative as people may gossip about your relationships for their entertainment.

🪻 Gemini 7th house can experience getting friend or sister/brother zoned.

🪻 Venus opposite Uranus indicates someone will suddenly end their relationship with you. This can be someone you’re dating, a friend or family. It may even be getting fired from a job since venus is connected to money.

Some may find that people repeatedly surprise them by cheating, leaving or ghosting. There may be some behaviour or pattern within yourself that you must confront for this to end. For others, it may happen once and it will hurt by at least it can be a lesson learned or karma cleared.
