blackbrownandpink: Happy trans day of visibility! I’m posting this because I always feel a little guilt about the fact that I don’t look #transenough, and feel like eurocentric beauty standards and definitions of ‘woman’ and ‘feminine’ have poisoned me in too many ways to count. I write for those of us who struggle to keep from literally carving the vision of ourselves we see in the mirror out of us/ I write for the silence after someone yells ‘hey tr**ny’ when we’re talking in the streets, and no one speaks up to tell them they’re wrong/ I write for those of us who have leaped over every hurdle put in front of them, but are covered in bruises and scars from falling on the hurdles inside of…

katiescarlett-speaks: The pictures on the left range from grades 3-6. My life with my eating disorder and body dysmorphia began here, a horrible battle with self hate and hurt. Seeing these childhood photos this week wasn’t just nostalgic, it was sad. It allowed me to see the girl I forgot I was. So often as we grow up we don’t have proper perspective to se who and what we really are because the opinions of others are shaping our impressionable minds. What were the things that shaped me?

Bullying wasn’t the only thing that caused this, but it was big part of what spurred on this overwhelming self …

katiescarlett-speaks: This poem is about my struggle with living as someone Fibromyalgia and Mental Illness and the constant pressure we (can be applied to anyone really) endure living in a society that is driven by consumerism, industry, and productivity. It speaks to my feelings of seeking solitude and peace in a world that is constantly moving and refuses to allow any moments for recovery to recuperate for the days ahead of us. How can we help and love others if we can’t even take care of ourselves and help ourselves?
