Celebrating trans and nonbinary beauty, in all the ways it shows up. We are wondrous, poetic, infinite beauties. Posted @withregram • @them To be trans and to have a body in 2022 is to be the baddest bitch at the event while concerned you'll be forcibly removed from the restroom. It’s to be surveilled, regulated, and scapegoated by those who don’t understand you, but also to be rendered invisible within your own community unless you have a six-pack, or demeaned for growing hair in the “wrong” places. And yet, to be trans and to have a body also encompasses the liberatory delight of uprooting these expectations, of planting new seeds and watching them grow together. It’s the community project of forging our own ideals, characterized by an unbridled abundance of fat bodies, dark-skinned bodies, hairy bodies, bodies with disabilities, and all the other forms that we're taught to shun. To launch our annual Body Week, @michaelxomichael asked 9 trans and nonbinary people to reflect on bodies, desirability, and revolutionizing ideas of beauty.
