non-binary person like me, learning to feel content in my body – and embracing my breasts – was revelatory in accepting my gender identity.But for weeks after I came out, the dislike of my breasts intensified – weighing on me both physically and mentally.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that I should want to get rid of them, and that I was somehow betraying my identity by accepting them.This is because the narrative around trans and non-binary bodies focuses on dysphoria.
Time and time again, we see headlines that are either negative or focus on a singular issue, like trans or non-binary folks having surgery or de-transitioning.The constant link to looks impacting identity and vice versa is a difficult narrative to engage with.
