Women are trained to value themselves by their appearance and simultaneously hate it. We’re too fat, legs too short, wrong shape, stretch marks from childbirth etc etc. And it’s so much worse if you’re trans, non white and so on. What do you like about your body?

    I’ve grown to love being tall and physically big. I like to stand up straight and take up space. I used to be self conscious about it, especially in school, and I wished I was delicate and waifishly feminine but I’m owning it now. Being made on a larger scale helps me feel powerful and confident. I am hard to intimidate and I can stand up to bullies.

      I absolutely love this! Tall women are often stooped over because society tells them they should be. You’ve seen how it makes you powerful and confident, a freaking warrior and you’re owning it
