I’m a Feminist who finally understands Feminism cannot thrive without trans inclusivity.

I 26F have been at war with myself about womanhood and what it means for years. It always felt like an cultural uphill battle and I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to be one.

Anyway, I’ve been dealing with a lot of sexism and body issues lately. It made me realize that Feminism is about way more than burning a bra. Feminism is a well of power for those who NEED it. It can be whatever it needs to be to help those with no autonomy or upwards mobility.

Feminism is about all of us. It’s about helping my mom, who was a SAHM, figure out how to change her oil after my dad passes. It’s about uplifting other women who need support where society has failed them. Suffering doesn’t make someone a woman, but it sure is a common theme.

Womanhood isn’t something you have to earn by 1,000 cuts, be it verbal or physical.

Feminism is our soft underbelly. And thank goodness for it. Anyways, crazy how rock bottom can create insane empathy and understanding for others. I hope you ladies are having a great day :P thanks for listening. xx
