Please don't make me take it off, I'll die. 😉

Seriously, blocking is hard. Idk how ya'll do it.

I joined a women's roller derby league and it's the most fun I've had in a sport, ever! My teammates are super inclusive, kind, and treat me just like any other gal on the team. I love them all so much and I never would have met them had I stayed closeted. It also really works out my hips and lower body, while keeping a slim waste and avoiding anything shoulders which has really started to give me euphoria about my body lately.

My boobs are starting to fill in finally too, my partner noticed I had underboob the other day and I couldn't stop staring at myself in the mirror while giggling!

A bunch of my partners friends donated some clothes to me too, which really helped fill out my closet. Most of them fit me really well, and accentuate my body shape in a way I didn't know I could feel good about.

All in all, I'm 6 months in and couldn't be happier with my choice to transition, but it helps massively that I: A. Live in a blue state and B. have an incredible partner and support group who want nothing but to see me thrive as a woman.

Thanks for asking!

"Not all straight..." "Not all men..." "Not all cis..."

When does this become an issue with generalization and stop being an issue of covering up/defending shitty, toxic behavior within a community?

The more marginalized your intersectional community, the more discrimination you face from that community.

For example, jf you think it's tough being a woman in the united states, try being a black woman. And if you think that's hard, try being a black trans woman.

At some point, you just lose community entirely, as that becomes a privilege for those less marginalized.
