Girl (2018)

There are many resources online about the dangers of binding for FTM guys, but far fewer that address the dangers of tucking.

This film, based on the youth of trans dancer Nora Monsecour and made in collaboration with her, features a young trans girl character tucking with tape in order to pass as a young woman. It is good to see that a film is drawing attention to MTF struggles, and the daily practice of flattening your groin, which can sometimes be very painful.

As an alternative to tape or bandages, I would recommend LeoLines underwear, available through Etsy. There are many reviews by trans women who recommend LeoLines panties and padded bras, and the underwear is so cleverly designed that many women report not even needing to tuck beneath the panties. (Also, as the designer of these products is a trans woman, all the marketing is aimed at trans women, and not crossdressers.)

Please do not flag this post. It is an educational post, intended for transgender girls who may watch this film and be encouraged to tuck unsafely. It is not explicit.

From the perspective of a trans woman whose closet friend is a trans man, I found this post to be extremely valuable information to have.

Very glad you found this post helpful, friend! I’m a transgender man myself, and I have noticed that many online resources are directed at FTM guys like me, whereas information about tucking for trans women is pretty rare to see shared on trans blogs. I can’t speak from experience, but I do want to put in the effort to support my trans sisters :)

You ladies are strong and go through so much more than us cis girls.  Please be careful with your body.  It’s the only one you’ve got, it’s beautiful, and we love you.

I feel like a pilot in a malfunctioning plane.

Spiralling..

Spiralling..

Down and down and down.

I have my plans, I've been over it again and again and again.

And yet even when I'm yanking at the controls, I'm still spiralling down and down and down.

My thoughts scream at me like the passengers.

Trying and trying and trying to stop.

And yet I still go down.

Down.

Down.

Down.

Until I hit the ground.

decided getting emotionally attached to people is out, feeling absolutely nothing whatsoever is in

I think for the first time I just realized how truly traumatized I am. Normal people don’t think or behave in this way. Their brains don’t tell them that they deserve to hurt, or remind them of their constant feelings of unworthiness. Their insecurities don’t make them panic and shut down.

Wow I wonder what if feels like to live like that.
