Smth I notice that makes me feel kinda different from other transmascs or ppl who have chest dysphoria/want top surgery is my dysphoria is more physical than visual
Most people I’ve heard talk about chest dysphoria seem to care a lot about how their body is perceived (by others or themself). They bind to make their chest less visible, they want their chest to LOOK as flat as possible
For me binding doesn’t do much. I mean, sure, seeing my chest is dysphoric, but putting one shirt over it so I don’t see the skin is all I need to not even rlly notice. Yet, I still get dysphoric even when I do bind or fully hide my chest because I can FEEL it. I know it’s there physically. The weight, just the meer fact it exists and is on my body is what causes me the most dysphoria, not whether or not it can be seen. How well hidden smth is doesn’t change whether or not it exists….
