Accepting myself

[Justagirl💃]

The one part of acceptance that is a tough pill to swallow is "body image". 
Even though I have fully accepted that I have breasts and curves (Transitioned), I'll never have a "Barbie" body. It isn't nor was it ever in my future. 

When I was presenting as a guy still, it was my boobs that caused me great concern and I slowly moved past that to acceptance. 
Now presenting as female, my boobs are more than welcome and the extra weight on my hips and obvious effects of old age that haunt me. 

Body image is a tough one, but by working at it everyday we can overcome it. 

If everyone looked like GI Joe and Barbie, the world would just be weird. 🙄

There is nothing wrong with identifying as "non-binary" 😉

The pronoun thing is IMO a made up controversy. 
In times past most folks simply didn't care. 

TicToc and the like has brought this up to the surface and quite frankly its a fad that will pass. 

Call yourself whatever. 

Just don't expect people to know right off. 

I have known several women who are 'cis" or whatever you want to say who sound and look male. 
But are mothers and have husbands. 
Same with men. 
Extremely feminit but also married with children 


I personally am finding many multiple differences in my body that point to female dominance, but I still be male. 

it is, (as some hate hearing this) what it is. 

Enjoy what you have.

Have had many thoughts re body image since growing a ‘pair’.

Have helped my self to a lot of positive aspects since retirement, gym, yoga, rowing, meditation. Also in no small measure this site has been helpful

Much to my surprise I think that stress ( the chronic type ) from the job had a huge effect on my life. OR nurse of the high tech type robotics, microscopes, and type A surgeon personalities at university teaching hospitals

This new comfortable settling in feeling is a source of joy

Acceptance… it has arrived in a manner of speaking and so has the first real bra yesterday Will report later on fit and feel later after AM yard work is done

Also what the wife says when she sees it
I believe I have grown into a D size lately  and I’m noticing different things. Such as  arms bumping into breasts and sports bra not giving enough support and more. Later

Nope it gets returned to Elomi

The cups are a bit big
Otherwise I liked the side panels that removed the golf balls from the armpits

We will see re the Torrid that still has yet to arrive that Birdie spoke of
