β€œThe animosity towards #transgender women in society is rooted in the perception of #masculinity as "strong and natural" and #femininity as "weak and artificial" (Serano, 2019, as cited in Brogaard, 2020, p. 94).
Internalized #misogyny can be experienced by cisgender and transgender women alike due
to the fact that all women are survivors under the #patriarchy, as they have faced specific
challenges as a result of being women in a society that devalues everything related to their
gender.”

Really love the colors used here, it blows my mind when I try to analyze or imagine how I could have come up with that on my own. I would like to understand his process or his system.

I'm sort of tired from work so maybe tomorrow I won't think that this girl carries all that is good and true about humanity under her little sun hat. All the flowers probably appeared when she did, like she has that kind of effect on the natural world. 😁

I feel them resting in the space between my boobs.
My three gold chains.
They sit lightly, rising and falling with each breath. Not fancy, but fine. Feminine. Their only purpose to bind me more securely to myself.
