‘Cis’ girl to testosterone and a double mastectomy (scheduled, at least, if not yet performed) in one year:
Dysphoria also tends to be like 'if you give a mouse a cookie' - like, pre transition when I'd dress masc id think 'huh I don't like my boobs in this'. So I got a binder. Then I started thinking about how small my arms were, so I started working out. Which... muscles are nice.. But then if look in the mirror and see a boy, and became aware of how my high voice was keeping me from passing. Before I knew it I was on t with top surgery scheduled, frustrated my facial hair wasn't coming in. But a year before I'd never even thought about my facial hair, or my voice or my body hair or my face shape - I was busy thinking about my boobs, and even then through the lens of 'I, a cis girl, just wish I had smaller titties'
This thinking pattern is so predictable that any of us who are paying attention could have guessed where it was heading from the start. Someone isn't asking these young people the right questions. And coincidentally, it's the same people whose livelihoods and reputations depend upon alleging that an ever-widening focus of body dysmorphia is a sign of "knowing yourself."
Ladies, choose your oppression -- Either lean in to your sexual objectification or run from it. Whether you're trying to downplay your features because you don't want to be sexualized or play up your features because you feel sexualization or being "pretty" has some value, you're a sexual object FIRST. Women learn from the time we're little that others' view of us and use for us is more important than our needs and wants. You haven't escaped your objectification if how you're viewed (passing, etc.) is more important than your needs for unrestricted movement, breathing (both of which are restricted by binders), and the ability to grow and change naturally over time. Binder or push-up bra -- it's all about women being objectified, it's all misogyny.
