there's a horrible irony in the fact that I could never tolerate chest binders before I got top surgery bc they were a sensory nightmare for me in a way that outweighed dysphoria. but! ☝️ now I have to not only wear chest and abdominal compression, I also have to wear EVERY OTHER COMPRESSION, every day, in complicated layers so when I take it all off at night I feel like the fucking lindworm
it is still sensory hell, I just can't opt out of it anymore bc of the direct impact on my symptoms/pain levels if I don't have it on 😭
