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.
Very cool, thanks blink!
This is nice to see, although I'm also more excited by these guys hips :D
KamTheMan - You're welcome, glad it helps somebody else too.

Yep, yep. "Hey! He has hips!! Now I don't feel so crappy about mine!"

That was VERBATIM what I said in my head when I saw that third pic. Awesome. Thanks for the link!
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.
