so i can wake up and not immediately feel disgusted by myself
so i can go to sleep comfortable
so i cannot be constricted every day by binders and still feel like it isnât enough
so i can wear clothes and feel like me in them
so i can shower and be able to look down
so i can not feel weighted down whenever iâm not binding (or even double binding on bad days)
so i can know what freedom is
so i can run and swim and bang on my chest like a goddamn gorilla because iâll be free
so i can be happy without always having to feel like thereâs two humongous weights hanging from my chest
and, most importantly: so i can have sick ass scars and walk around without a shirt on
a list i made because my mom keeps trying to gaslight me into thinking iâll be making a mistake when i turn 18 and immediately get surgery asap
