Kate also DM'd us and said, sexualized as I looked older, ogling everywhere.
And this is what Ruby sent in to us as well.
So we heard a lot about how you responded then to this kind of feeling of shame and feeling like you're growing up and people are perceiving you in that way.
Tia said, so much shame and embarrassment from puberty has been carried into my adult life.
I literally used to pray my boobs wouldn't come in because I was so ashamed.
And Harriet said, I had boobs really early on and felt shame about it.
I used to strap my chest down and wore jumpers.
I want to shout out like all the people as well who'd like messaged us and said like, yeah, what you've been talking about Dee.
being assigned a gender at birth growing up going through puberty and feeling like you don't belong in your body going through that experience as well and being perceived in that way and your identity being like chosen for you at that point I can't even imagine like the layers of uncomfortable and shame that you would have to go through there and like yeah we heard a lot of people were like strapping down and that's what people like you know non-binary people do a lot of the time and
Even people who aren't non – I know quite a few people who are not – who aren't non-binary and they still strap their chest because they're just like, I just don't identify with this part of my body.
It's interesting hearing a guy have a similar experience of like women as well being like damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of thing.
Like he's like, okay, so I'm getting all this pubic hair and I think I should trim it.
But then I'm kind of seen as like maybe like metrosexual or something.
And it's such a like, oh my God, you cannot win.
And we actually had a voice memo about this from Heidi, who was a dancer and was really ashamed of her pubic hair growing up.
I just I was blown away hearing her say at 14 getting laser.
I remember first getting laser when I was maybe 18, 19 maybe.
