to all my gnc lesbians: mothers are often the people to make us feel the worst about ourselves when they question our identity, the way we express ourselves, and our presentation.
But I want you to know this: you are beautiful. You are handsome. You look good with short hair. Your shaved head is rad as hell. You don’t have to be feminine. People do love you. Your bodies are your own and they’re beautiful. Your hairy legs? Exquisite. Hairy armpits? Cool as shit. All the lumpy parts and the parts that others call ugly I’m telling you they’re perfect. Because they are.
People often hate the things they can’t understand. They can’t categorize us so they put us down. Try to force us into an acceptable feminine box. But we don’t fit in their boxes. It’s ok to make your own box.
When others put you down remember you are handsome and you are loved. Remember you’re not alone and I’m right there by your side.
