There's a post on The Soup's facebook page about Courtney's boob job and you wouldn't believe the amount of disgusting comments, a lot of them from women. Makes me sad.
Lewis’ Law:
The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.
In this case that article wasn’t exactly about feminism but the comments on articles regarding women, women’s bodies, and women’s lives always justify the need for feminism.
Hey, I love your tumblr and I love Courtney so don't take this the wrong way, but in an earlier ask you said you can't be a feminist if you're transmisogynist or if you're not interested in intersectionality, even though I do understand where you're coming from I think it's also important to recognize why transwomen or woc wouldn't want to identify as feminist. There IS transmisogny and racism in feminism and I think feminists need to admit that so we can fix it.
I don’t disagree with any of this…
so…?
You can call yourself a feminist if you’re a transmisogynist and a racist. That doesn’t mean you ARE a feminist. Or at the very least, you’re a really terrible fauxminist tbh.
And again:
When I said that I don’t have time for someone who doesn’t identify as a feminist that was very broad. I don’t literally mean you must label yourself with the word “feminist” in order for me to speak to you. I mean that if you’re not for the complete equality of women and the right for women to do/be/act in anyway they want to - that’s when I have no time for you.
Well, because transphobic and racist and intersectionality-ignoring people call themselves feminists, it would make since why trans people and poc wouldn't want to associated with those people. It's hard to want to be a part of cause you're not welcome in, even if you hold the same values as the people leading the cause.
Of course trans* people and PoC should not want to associate with people who are transmisogynists and racists….
I think the huge point here is that though those type of “feminists” unfortunately exist, they’re not in the majority when it comes to feminism. There are bad seeds in everything you do, sadly.

Many woc and transgender people refuse to identify as feminists because a large majority of self-proclaimed feminists are transphobic and a few are only focused on white upper class women's issues and/or are blatantly racist, fyi. Just because someone doesn't identify as a feminist doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to them.
i guess you missed the part earlier where i said you cant be a feminist if you’re a transmisogynist or not interested in intersectionality?
I never claimed to be a feminist. My intention was to learn about your side of feminism, honestly. Apologies for any offence caused.
Thanks for the apology I guess. I never said anything about you being a feminist tho.
And idk man I don’t really thing there’s a “side” to feminism. There’s not my side and her side and that person’s side.
A person is either a feminist or they’re not.
(except why wouldn’t anyone be a feminist unless they’re a misogynist asshole i guess but tbh i rly dont have any time for people who actively say they are not feminists)
i think courtney is so beautiful inside and out. people pass judgement on her because they think she is just blonde hair and big boobs. but she is such a kind and genuine person, so thanks for your blog so that i can keep up with her (:
thanks for bein’ sweet <3
ta da!
Because those look good…
Breast implants are always quite swollen and hard when they are fresh. Patients need to massage their implants every day to help the implant ‘settle’ in the body. Eventually they will ‘drop and fluff’, which means the swelling will go down and the implants will become soft like natural breast tissue and settle into more of a ‘breast like’ shape where the top will slope like a natural breast rather than look so round and ‘pushed up’.
No breast implants look like fluffy squishy bouncy boobs after surgery - not for about two months.
