Tumblr post from thatgirlwhokeepsreading: So stay with me here, but fun ballet fact: part of the reason you're supposed to start ballet young is so you stretch and hold your joint in certain ways regularly enough that your body grows different. You know how men who do ballet look only sort of muscular but then like lift a whole ass person? Their muscles are trained to lie flat like that for flexibility, they don't bulk up. Girl in your class who always stands in turnout? It's likely not just habit, her joints probably sit like that now. I started ballet when I was six and stopped after three years. I then took a break for three years, and came back and did jazz ballet (which has most of the same body mods but without turnout) and tap for another couple of years. And every physio who works on my body looks at my feet, hips and calves and goes [alt text continued from previous image] So like ~cis opinion~, but I really don't have a lot of time for people getting feral about trans kids actually transitioning or going on blockers or even (when they're old enough for it to be relevant) hrt.
