#Naturism improves self-confidence & communication skills. Being #nude in #social situations can be a challenging experience for many people, as it requires a level of #vulnerability & openness. However, by facing this challenge & stepping out of their comfort zone, individuals soon develop greater self-confidence & communication skills. They also learn to be more #accepting of others & to communicate more effectively, as they are forced to rely on nonverbal cues & #body language. (7/9)

The #Quiet #Censorship of #Pride 2024: #BookCensorshipNews, July 19, 2024
This year’s quiet #Pride was not quiet because the world became more #accepting. Pride was less contentious because of the quiet/soft/self-#censorship of Pride itself.

#Denver #Pride brings out over 500,000 people: "It's just #accepting each other and having #fun"

Fascinating account of Springsteen's strategy to deal with periods of #darkness.
Not trying to find an obvious cause. "But a lot of times, you’re simply looking to name something that’s not particularly nameable and if you misname it, it just makes everything that much worse."
Instead #accepting the #shadow as a fact, and get through it. "This is something that comes; it’s also something that goes — and maybe something I have to live with for a period of time."
Great man.
#TransJoy is an #actofdefiance and #power
Everyone needs to see #examples of #parents #accepting their #trans #children, #trans #youth #graduating from #college, #nonbinary #people #working in their chosen fields, and #workplaces providing #supportive #environments.
They need to see #trans #people falling in #love, going on #vacation, having #children and owning #dogs. They need to #witness #trans people #hiking, going to the #gym and playing on #sports teams.
