comfort places

Crazy Idea:

All females should be able to safely exist shirtless when the situation is necessary or comfortable. We should be able to do this without being sexualized.

I have nothing but the utmost love and respect for my sisters who have had mastectomies, but I am side-eyeing the hell out of the many, many women I see lately talking about getting top surgery just so that they can be shirtless outside.

Listen up, friends. We should fight for a new world, instead. We should fight for spaces where the female body can embrace as much freedom as the male body is regularly allowed to have without gross sexualization. We have the right to bare chests. Liberating yourself from the mindset of “not being able to be shirtless” because you have breasts might just be the best thing you ever do for yourself. Your breasts don’t hold you back from this experience - society’s expectation for what those breasts mean is what holds you back. It’s not physical, it’s cultural, and every Woman deserves to be able to to be bare chested without being in danger.

Binding Damage

I bound my breasts almost full time for around 2 years before I had my mastectomy. As a result, my lung capacity is reduced and the muscles around my ribcage are still much less strong than they were before I began binding, even though it has been over a year now since I have worn a binder or even a bra. I even bound ‘safely’ using an Underworks compression vest in the correct size, never with ace bandages or any other methods. I still can’t take a full, deep breath like I used to. 

Does anyone have any tricks to regaining lung capacity and strengthening the rib/chest/abdominal muscles after binding? I’m not sure how to increase lung capacity itself or how to exercise the particular muscles that have been effected but I’d like to regain some strength if possible. 

i hate how conservatives (and some „radfems”) frame detransition.

This girl used to be beautiful but now... she’s manly.. she’s strange, she does not fit in, what a tragedy!

i haaaate it.

On top of being incredibly mysoginystic, it does not adress other effects of transition, like health effects, and the things that actually pushed people to transitioning in the first place! It creates more problems than it tries to adress.

Who fucking cares how you look after being on T? I don’t. You have more body hair, a different fat distribution? Great! That’s not the reason people should be critical of transitioning!

I saw a post a few days ago that inspired this, but I couldn’t find it again so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, daily reminder to love your body and boop your body dimples/cellulite dimples while you’re at it.

Set goals and chase them down. Love and challenge your body. Be relentless and gentle. Stay Determined!!
