Ice Girl's public thoughts.

 Pain binds with every breath 🫁

The memory of my mother trying to brow beat a surgeon to remove my breasts over my crying protests is etched in my psychology.

That moment solidified my knowledge in my Intersex condition and changed my life.

My family's disappointment in my natural body increased by societies disgusting treatment of females is the root of my own insecurities around my body.

I have seen how I am treated when the F42's are on full display I do not perfer it so bind most days in public.

I wear binders intentionally as tight as my body can tolerate. Sometimes even breathing causes mild pain and I can see bruising on my ribs when I take them off.

Recently I had my binder on for 17 hours working as an EMT the job called for me to stay later then is usual.

When I got home simply taking it off was enough to make me shutter in pain the bruises made my body so tender my girlfriend trying to touch my body caused me to wince and recoil in genuine pain.
