okay so, I’m making a post about my body-image and if you’re not interested in that keep scrolling.

So I’m a queer-bodied person, I have no preference in terms of pronouns and don’t identify with either gender in any actual sense. However, my body-type is very feminine, I have a bust-waist-hip of 37;27;38 which is a pretty solid hourglass type deal. On the other hand I’m pretty slim and have narrow-shoulders so with the right combination of a sports bra and certain clothes I can become more comfortable.

I am read as a male nearly half of the time in social situations even in situations of continued contact people will call me young man and sir and this makes me feel good. However when I mention this to anybody who knows me they give me strange looks and inform me that I am very feminine and cannot possibly understand how I could be read as male so often.

There have been days when I leave my house and an hour or two later buy an entirely new outfit in order to be more comfortable and appear less feminine. When I try to discuss this with people other than one or two close friends I am told that I am being ridiculous, that I have a wonderful body and I should not be wasting it as such. When I came out to my mother as a lesbian she told me that would be fine as long as I never decided to switch genders and overall does not understand the concept of trans* people. I’m going to start actively dressing as a male when I feel as such to the point of binding my chest and wearing a packer but the case being that I am not male-identified it is difficult to find individuals even within the queer community who I feel comfortable discussing it with. I guess the point herein is that I need help, I need somebody to talk to about this thing in particular because I need some sort of validation of the things I am feeling and the internet is normally a good resource, so thats it, thats the whole story.

signal boosting because I am not so well versed in issues regarding this particular spectrum of the non-binary

because well my transition was like being hit with a train

help my friend out yeah?
