(brainworms) anyone else feel like their weight is very gendered?
(brainworms) anyone else feel like their weight is very gendered?
I've been talking about this with my therapist but curious to hear what other people think. I feel like being overweight makes me look more masculine. I lost 60 pounds since last fall and I feel like it's much easier to see myself as feminine, though it's still not great, in part because I've still got like 40lbs left to reach my goal weight.
I think part of the problem is that I am tall with a fairly large frame, so the weight just makes me even more stocky and Tony Soprano-esque. Plus I've just come to associate my being overweight with being unattractive, and my concept of femininity is very caught up in my fear of not being attractive post-transition
Anyway 4 dollars a pound
