I was once talking with a friend about how I hated our beauty standards and I half jokingly said that I wanted to be an ugly girl to stick it to society and she said “yeah you are ugly fully seriously” like what the fuck? She ended up being a radfem txrf anywayyyy 🙄🙃

telling butch lesbians to “be ugly” when rejecting feminine beauty standards is nice but butchness is something that lesbians find beautiful and desirable so maybe instead of telling butches to accept that they are ugly in a het world tell them that they dont have to live in a world where they’re considered ugly. you dont have to accept being ugly bc you arent ugly to us.

One of the cool “inventions” of the 19th century were Geissler’s low-pressure gas tubes, very similar to today’s neon tubes. They soon became a toy to have at any self-respecting high society party.
