(from sometime in 2022)

Somewhere in my head there’s a whole Ted Talk I wish I could give on the effects of purity culture causing afab people to be so afraid of (and feel betrayed and endangered by) their own bodies that they not only wear loose clothes and take measures to reduce their appearance and hide their features but ALSO force postural changes over time as they develop, until they ultimately have multiple areas of abnormal movement patterns + muscle group imbalances that show up as distinct biomechanical adaptions and lead to pain and injuries long-term.
