You can tell if you go vintage shopping. In the 1960s the average dress size was a size 12 (US 10, EU 40), now it's a size 16 (US 14, EU 44), and men's waists had an average size of 34" but are now on average 37". Fashionable clothes for young people, which is essentially what everyone wants to buy when vintage shopping, were made for very slim people because younger people tended to be more in shape.The vast majority of people, including black Americans, were slender up until the 80's or so.
This does result in hilarious seething in the hambeast pin up community because if they're lucky they might find a hideous old lady dress that they'd just about fit into, but nothing they want to wear. This is doubly pronounced with troons who want to wear vintage but have to contend with the fact that 20th century women's clothing just will not accommodate a 21st century man's body, unless they're willing to put on a frumpy polyester grandma outfit.
I have a range of nice vintage clothes I wear because I take care of myself and so fit into them
MATI. Planned Parenthood doesn't just offer abortions, it offers a range of women's health services like sex education, contraception, pregnancy testing, breast exams, prenatal care, STI treatments, pap smears etc. etc. Even with abortions, part of the point of legal abortions is it prevents desperate women going to a shady back alley abortionist and dying from complications.Twitter troon: "tbf at least on abortion I can cut some slack - it's a moral disagreement on where to draw the line between murder vs not murder. but a trans support charity getting shat on like that is actually demonic esp when researchers now are actively isolating genes to later study"
But no, you can cut some slack on trying to shut that down, but not Mermaids. A charity that doesn't even provide treatment (let alone "isolates genes") but just hosts social clubs for trans kids, runs a chatline and then does workplace training and campaigning. Feeling uneasy about Mermaids influencing government to let them push more kids in the doors of The Tavistock Centre can't be "a moral disagreement", nooo it has to be "demonic".
