Tumblr has a lot of awful crap but sometimes it has great stuff too.

Additionally two of these (cis) men have curvy hips. These are both things I'm self-conscious about and this post helps me, so I'm linking it in hopes it'll help someone else here too.

Cool link. For me, it's good to see a reminder that both cis and trans bodies are diverse. Sometimes hairy sometimes not, sometimes muscular sometimes not, sometimes curvy sometimes not, sometimes scarred - and all are valid.
I do tend to have that "ideal" image in my mind of how i'd like to look (muscles and a hairy tummy someday pretty please??) so it helps to remind myself that truly, i am just as valid today without those things as i will be if they happen.
Also: potentially useful, plausible explanations for scarring, for those who don't wish to out themselves. Good stuff to know.
