variablejabberwocky: vastderp: Sarah Robles is the strongest woman in America. She’s beaten every other competitor, male and female, to become the highest-ranked lifter in the USA. She’s an Olympian at 23. She could lift your entire nuclear family and throw them, and she lives on 400 bucks a month because for some mysterious reason she can’t get endorsement deals. C’mon culture, stop being fucked up. Strength is beauty and Sarah Robles is a role model with no exposure. Chasing your dream and being powerful = feminine as all fuck. EDIT: There is now a fundraiser to help fund her journey to the Olympics! http://www.indiegogo.com/loveforanolympian reblogging for fundraiser info

Long post? Try submitting your question instead.

I'm Elle, and I am the person behind More Reasons You Shouldn’t Fuck Kids, a blog on my experience as a survivor of sexual abuse.

I am a Transgender, Lesbian, Taiwanese American, disabled, Appalachian, no-wave Feminist, and eating-disordered poet from Berea, KY. My life has been a big mess, and that’s okay.

Pronoun preference: she, her.
