this year marks 5 years since getting top surgery, some reflections on the evolution of my relationship to my body: i never thought i would have the relationship i have now with my body, one full of fierce love, deep care, cherishing each roll, and trying to find neutrality on hard days. i spent so many years hating it, starving it, envying others bodies, judging my soft body, trying to force it into a mold that it will never be - as if my worth was reflected by the space my literal body takes up!! f**k that s**t for real. that’s the white supremacy, colonialism, and capitalism talking. on days i struggle, where the intrusive nit picking thoughts about my body are so loud, or im bombarded with weight loss glp1 BS, i thank my body for being JUST as they are. and i tell them i see them and I AM ENOUGH!!!! it is a gift to be in my body, and an act of resistance to love and care for it so deeply especially in a world that tells trans people we are not enough, we don’t deserve to be here. f**k that!!! we are so worthy, we are enough for simply just being. these photos capture that essence, an ode to my body and the earth that will always holds me. hug your body for me, tell your body you see them, you love them if you can, they are doing so much for us🌀
