    I don’t care if I lose a thousand followers overnight, but if you think “tranny” or “shemale” are remotely acceptable ways to refer to a transgender person, please unfollow me.

    The number of notes on this pleases both my ego and my fragile faith in humanity.

    Adding on, “extra hole boy”, or “pussy boy” are equally abominable ways to refer to trans men.

    Dont use Shim, shehe/heshe, chick with a dick d*ckgirl or c*ntboy either

    and if you use “it” to dehumanize any trans person i will personally come to your house, break down your door, and piss on everything you own

    ‘Sissy’ and ‘trap’ are also utterly reprehensible…

    Also if you call a trans woman futa I will kick your fucking teeth in

    Please yes, im fucking sick of people looking at and consuming futinari culture and think that’s what we are

    is it okay for a person who is not trans to reblog this?

    Given the fact this is a legit list of words that trans people don’t want to be called/don’t want to hear, I hereby decree this post may be reblogged by everyone who wants to spread the word that these words are NOT ACCEPTABLE.

    As somebody who literally had to tell one friend that “tranny” is a slur and “fem-boy” is not what you call a trans woman, I agree with this hardcore

    vaginal hygiene & health - an introductory crash course



    pass this on to spread knowledge whether you have one or not, #save-a-coochie

    - the vagina is the tubular ‘internal’ sex organ that some people have.
    - the ‘vulva’ is the set of external sex organs that people with vaginas have. it includes (but not only):

    • pubic mound 
    • labia minora and majora (inner/outer ‘lips’)
    • clitoris and clitoral hood 
    • vulval vestibule (found in between your labia minora)
    • urethra (where you urinate from)
    • vaginal opening

    -vaginas naturally contain a balance of different bacterias. this bacteria protects the vagina from external bacteria and fungus, provides natural disinfectants and maintains a healthy vaginal pH of 3.5-4.5.

    -vaginal pH varies from person to person, day to day, depending on your cycle, your diet and many other external factors,

    -all vaginas have a scent. all of them. no two people smell exactly the same, and you shouldn’t expect your vagina (or anyone else’s) to smell fruity or floral.

    - if your worried about your scent, you can place perfume or an essential oil to an area around your vulva but not on it. some places like between your thighs or on your lower stomach, for example,

    -your body secretes natural fluids called discharge. discharge is how your vagina self cleanses. it is completely normal and vital to healthy vaginal function.

    -discharge can vary in amount, color, texture and scent depending on your cycle. each person is different. if your discharge is unusual or abnormal to you and your unique body - visit a doctor if possible.

    -abnormal discharge can be green, grey, very yellow, smelly, itchy, chunky, etc.

    -abundant discharge can be annoying. you can remove excess discharge in your shower by inserting one clean finger into your vagina, moving it from one side to another and ‘scooping’ the discharge out. repeat as needed. this reduces the amount of discharge found on your panties and in turn, reduces vaginal scent.

    - dead skin cells and oil can build up between your clitoris and your clitoral hood, so it’s important to lift your hood up and rinse thoroughly so it doesnt harden. 

    -washing your “external” vulvar areas such as your public mound and outer lips is okay, though some may find skin here more sensitive.

    -don’t douche. you may think it helps but it only masks any problems while causing more. douching throws of your flora, alters your PH and forces bacteria into your cervix.

    -water and a soft, clean wash cloth is all you need to clean your vulvar areas that contain a mucous membrane. you do not need to wash these areas. applying soaps or cleaners to these areas removes of natural necessary lubricants and bacteria. this may cause irritation, inflammation, major discomfort and dryness. some amount of moistness should always be present.

    -a vast majority of vaginal washes, even those touted as hypoallergenic, still contain dyes and fragrances which are known irritants. read the label.

    -while Summer’s eve is a lesser of evils with a PH of 3.0 - 3.5 (still not quite correct), it is still a cleanser. vaginal washes are used to cleanse “bad” bacteria from your vulva. they also wash away the “good” bacteria needed to maintain a healthy balance.

    -castile soaps (like Dr. Bronner’s) has a pH of about 8.9. these are not suggested.

    -never insert any cleansing agents into your vagina.

    -the information above applies to any gels, deodorants, perfumed products and wipes, too. these can all disturb your natural balance.

    -while they still pose a possible risk of irritation, unscented baby wipes are the lesser of evils regarding “freshening up”.

    -pay attention to your irritants and triggers. different people, different reactions

    -everyone has different stances and different methods that work for them. if you aren’t experiencing vaginal discomfort or odd changes, you don’t have to discontinue certain product use. i do, however, recommend a trial period of leaving these products alone due to their effects on your vagina.

    -allow your vagina to breathe. keep too-tight clothing to a minimum. cotton panties are the best option next to not wearing any at all.
    rotate the washcloth and towels you use to clean and dry your vagina.

    -urinating after masturbation or sex reduces the amount of bacteria in your urethra wiping ‘front to back’ keeps rectal bacterial away from your vagina.

    -naturally, food alters your vagina. balancing your diet in general and including things like pineapples, strawberries, yogurt, soy (the list goes on!) can influence your pH.

    -beverages like water, cranberry juice and pineapple juice are also proven to improve vaginal health, and may even improve taste.

    -adding a probiotic supplement can increase the amount of “good” bacteria called lactobacillus-your vagina.

    -the less ideal your vaginal balance/pH is, the more vulnerable you are to infections and STDs.

    -when it comes to internet home remedies, your mileage my vary. try everything with caution and research thoroughly.

    cheers! your vagina will thank you.

    Please don’t be an immature 12 year old and be like “ew that’s about a vagina I’m not reblogging that that’s gross!”
    It is literally a body part
    It needs to be kept healthy
    People with vaginas need to understand how to keep them healthy
    Just reblog

    this means so much bc no one ever taught me this shit so bless u if u reblog this

    Always reblog

    reblogging bc too many people aren’t taught how to correctly do this shittt

    Also to get your vaginal ph back up in the case of thrush, (which happens and is pretty much normal, so don’t worry when it inevitably happens) chop up some cucumbers and lemons and add them into a jug of water and drink it over time. Trust me, this is more effective and a lot more preferrable to drinking apple cider vinegar.

    )O(


    ALSO IMPORTANT: if you think you have a yeast infection, please go to the doctor or Planned Parenthood if you can, before using an OTC medication. It is easy to confuse bacterial infections with yeast infections. If you treat a “yeast infection” and it turns out to be BV, you will make your BV exponentially worse by killing all the yeast in your vagina. Take it from me, YOU DO NOT WANT THIS.

    Recurrent BV can really ruin a person’s sex life, so if you suspect you have any kind of infection and you have the means to so, get it checked out by a professional first.

    Thank you for making this and all the people reblogging this! I was never taught and had to piece things together on my own. One post covering everything helps clarify even more so.

    Hey so uh

    Look i know tumblr went insane about an hour ago but i just got some literal life or death news and i need some help?

    A lot of help. Im not kidding about life or death.

    Some of you know that I’m sick. I have a primary immunodeficiency, which means i dont make immunoglobulins. That means no t cells or b cells. And those are the cells that fight off the things that make you sick.

    Yeah those.

    My body doesnt make them due to an illness called CVID. Common Variable Immunodeficiency. Doesnt sound terrible but in all actuality its incredibly life threatening. Especially when you’re like me and on the absolute worst end of the spectrum.

    So, how am I alive? I get blood products. Every 3 weeks I have a needle put into my chest and an immune system from other people is given to me. Its not a fun process and the side effects are horrible but its literally the only thing that keeps me alive.

    So whats the problem?

    Worldwide shortage. Not enough people giving blood so not enough antibodies and immunoglobulin from people. Theres not enough for almost anyone and I was only just told today.

    I can’t get my treatment.

    Im not exaggerating. This could literally kill me. I get hospitalized for minor illnesses because they are NEVER minor for me. Everything is a threat. Anything could kill me if not handled fast.

    Please. Please i am begging you to donate blood. Tell your friends to donate blood. Spread the word to DONATE BLOOD.

    Because if this isnt fixed, myself and people like me are going to start deteriorating. Going to start dying. Very soon.

    Please signal boost this. Please donate blood. Please ask other people to donate blood.

    I dont want to die like this.
