I’m afab, nb and have a very androgynous look, but with wide ish hips that kind of give me some mild dysphoria since puberty. How do you deal with a part of yourself you cant change? Any tips?

    That’s a very good way of thinking about it. Thanks a lot.

    It’s weird that as some that can definitely “play up” both sides of the gender binary spectrum looks wise, my hips are something that has always bothered me. Even when looking/ feeling femenine. So, reframing it is a good way to go about it, I guess.

      That’s understandable, and I can relate in a different way.

      My ribcage is huge, and my waist is too small so my pants don’t stay up. I think “this isn’t the shape a person is supposed to be!” a decent amount.

      I’m sorry you’re dealing with it too. I just have to keep reminding myself that people do, in fact, come in many different shapes and types.
