Binding and Tucking Both Suck/Without Compromise/On the Outside
I understand that
Surgery
Is the recommended fix
But what else can we do
Besides bind, squeeze, and tuck our flesh?
I personally
Believe in the
Men have tits
Philosophy.
The some women have
Bulges truthism.
Haters gonna hate, obviously.
Also it makes me anxious as fuck
So I get it, alternatives are kind of
All shitty.
Tape sucks, binding sucks
Surgery is expensive as fuck
Meanwhile back at the ranch
Trans women do all sorts of things
That can negatively impact their surgery options and results
Or general sexual health
Regardless of their medical goals
I used to feel that
Non-binary was the solution
To most woes.
A quest of self acceptance
Exactly as you are without help of
Intervention that you
May or may not be able to afford,
Financially or health-wise
Not everyone is a candidate
For sex reassignment surgery
Not everyone is a candidate
For top surgery
What do we tell these people ?
To bind
For their entire lives ?
To tuck
For an eternity?
I often wonder what the point
Of all this “trans activism”
“Trans education” is
If there are no resources
For trans people
That don’t involve
Changing their bodies, surgically
Or otherwise.
All of these resources
Focus on the
“Holistic health”
Of looking the way you feel inside
What if instead we all just
Accepted each other without needing
To compromise ?
There are no easy answers as I know
How fruitless it is
To try and console someone who feels
Betrayed by everything on the outside.
