🚨After 12 years of thinking I was born with a male brain in a female body, I now understand that I was born with an AUTISTIC brain in a female body. I then began to understand that I could cure my own crippling gender dysphoria by better understanding my autism. Instead of binding my breasts & pretending to be a man, I now meet my sensory needs with mild compression undershirts that don’t actively destroy my lungs, back, ribs, spine, nerves and breasts. I now intentionally choose to wear bras with a maximum of two textures, and thick straps that don’t twist as I move, in addition to the mild (full upper body) compression shirts because I know this is what I can tolerate. By managing the sensory needs of my whole body in all sorts of new ways, I no longer focus on the discomfort my breasts and 99.99% of bras cause me. As a result, my body is now a much more tolerable place for my brain to live. The only qualms I have now have with that part of my body I used to hate so much, was the destruction I’ve caused myself in the misguided attempt to fix an unacknowledged severe sensory issue (that as a kid caused me to toe walk and to compulsively pull out my eyelashes before it became fixated on gender) with an attempted gender transition. Happy autism awareness month!
