[@alleswunderbarblala]

I feel the urge to clarify the “periods have tiny baby bits in it” part, just in case! Yes, there are tissue bits in period blood. That’s the uterus lining that builds up each month in preparation for a potential pregnancy. If there’s no pregnancy, out goes the old lining and those are the thicker bits and pieces one can see in period blood.

[@itakru]

Those can also be caused by too much blood passing through the uterine wall too quickly for the body to expel, resulting in clumps and "clots", which can be indicative of problems like PCOS. If you're passing large clumps on a regular basis throughout your period and it remains very heavy, as opposed to passing small solids for the first day or two, you should see a doctor.

Okay, so I can explain that drawing. Firstly, it’s just a drawing, so the proportions generally aren’t accurate. Think of our modern fashion drawings- they aren’t accurate proportions either. This is from 1894-1896, at the very height of the poof when it comes to sleeves. As for the teeny tiny waist- when women would wear these fashions, it was mostly an illusion. Tight lacing if corsets was pretty rare, generally only done by the Kardashian types of the day, abs even then only for events. Also, if you see a photograph and think “how is that even possible to have a waist that small?” Well, it’s not. They did alter photographs back then. See Bernadette Banner’s latest video for info on that. But the illusion comes from having padded busts, massive sleeves and padded hips. You don’t need to tight lace a corset if everything else is already making your waist look a lot smaller in comparison. And women back then were not shy about adding a bit of padding to make their bods look the way they wanted. At the time, it was more about shape than size- and that shape was actually accessible to a lot more women than what current beauty standards are. So don’t be too bothered by the drawing. It is already a little exaggerated (as all fashion drawings were and still are), but even then, it’s still mostly illusion.

[@shirukivondream1313]

the thing about the drawing with a corset is that the same reason that picture was drawn like that is the same as why fashion industry uses photoshop: un-real ideals. but also as an added side note; biggest reason why the waist looks so tiny is the proportions of the rest of the outfit huge sleeves, etc.

[@katherinemorelle7115]

Fashion drawings have been unrealistic proportion wise for a very long time. They still are. And as someone who wears similar styles (with slightly less sleeve poof) as my regular wardrobe- it really is just an illusion. I wear a corset to support my back (as I’m severely disabled from a degenerative spinal condition), but my waist measurement is maybe an inch smaller than without it? In some corsets, it’s actually bigger, thanks to the added bulk of the corset itself. And yet, thanks to padding and smart tailoring, my body looks like an extreme hourglass, with a small waist. It’s not because it’s actually any smaller, it’s just an illusion. But even photos of the time were also unrealistic and “photoshopped”, just like today. It was actually pretty easy to change the size of the waist, just like some people do now. Basically- the more things change, the more they stay the same.

[@renoirrr]

@@katherinemorelle7115 right? I paused the video and used my fingers to cover the sleeves and shoulders and saw that the waist is still "photoshopped" to fit the beauty standard, but without it that illusion tho. makes me double look

[@tulsiclarity3228]

@@AB-ez1eh yeah, but as the first part of the comment said, and multiple others commented, it was the unrealistic idea that all the fashion plates talk about. nobody actually looked liked that, and people of the time ( ca 1890s) knew that too :)

@@AB-ez1eh have you seen modern fashion drawings? They’re just as disproportionate, but now they emphasise ridiculously long legs and being super skinny.

The one at 1:42 is actually a fashion plate from the 1890s. Fashion plates were meant to display the fashionable silhouette at the time by exaggerating proportions to really get the point across. It’s not meant to be a realistic representation of of women, or what they looked like in the 1890s. Hope this helps.

[@John_Weiss]

I just wrote a reply to someone else about this, so: How much body hair you get and how fast your facial hair grows is totally down to genetics, partly inherited, partly luck of the draw. And it changes slowly over time. I'm cis and I didn't have to shave daily until my 40s. In my 20s it was only once a week. My chest hair isn't all that thick. And that's totally normal. Some guys turn into gorillas within 5 years of hitting puberty, others take a good 10 years to grow all of their body hair. So if you ever have moments when you wonder if T is even doing anything, reread my comment and remember that it takes time even for us cis guys. And congrats!

[@catpoke9557]

@@John_Weiss Yes, many people forget that T just causes a second puberty, so the amount of time can vary a lot and it will inevitably not cause immediately visible or audible changes. After all, puberty takes years.

The third pic (of the dress) is actually an Edwardian piece. The thin waist was the “style” of the time. This look was often achieved through corsets (rarely tight laced) and padding. In the drawing, the unrealistically small waist was probably less not understanding anatomy and more exaggerating the popular style. Still not an actuate depiction though, just a fun piece of trivia :)

hey, very quickly: that drawing of a "victorian" woman (around 1:40 ) wasn't trying to depict reality; instead, it was meant to be an exaggeration to show what the fashionable sillouette of the period looked like (big poofy bits at the chest and upper sleeves, that slims down towards the waist and lower arms, and a narrower skirt) They actually didn't mean to imply that waists would be that tiny in real life, and are also a perfect example of optical illusion used in clothing (by making those "puffy bits", the waist seems smaller in comparison) just felt like clarifying because unfortunately historical fashion facts aren't always that well known and can lead to some misinterpretation 😁❤️

The thing about corsets and Victorian women's clothing is, they did look like that, not because their waists were tiny or super squished, but because they padded out their hips, bums, chests and sometimes shoulders to give that hourglass illusion.

I'd disagree on the "don't explain people's anatomy to them if you don't have it" Plenty of people don't know about many aspects of their anatomy (not only when it comes to vulvas).

[@michaelschneider8201]

Logically speaking, there's only some actual point in shaving armpit hair, because if you do so, bacteria which feed on sweat and release the stinky gas will have much less space to live, so you will be able to wash less frequently and use less deodorant, which saves money. In all honesty, I admire the energy of women who have enough of stamina and time to shave all the other hair... I'm often too lazy to shave my beard lol.
