man as much as I understand why we bind/tuck and that it's not a bad thing if I could wish one thing upon the world it would be for everyone to get so much more normal about men with boobs and women with bulges (and everyone in between w whatever secondary sex characteristics). bc it sucks. it's uncomfortable and can be super super damaging even if you're using the best methods in the world.

and ofc it sucks from cis society but I think I have even more beef w people in the trans community that push this idea that if you're not binding/tucking you're not Serious about being trans.

#just some word vomit ig #bc this is my first summer in YEARS not binding #bc I finally got top surgery #and being outside in this heat/humidity just reminded me how fucking bad and hard it was w a binder #like it would hurt to Breathe sometimes and that's just... normal #which sucks. you rarely get out of long term binding without rib or back problems #I don't know As Much about tucking but afaik it can be even More dangerous #and uncomfortable #which isn't do demonize binding or tucking it just sucks that we're Expected to do it
