For years now - since about the age of 13 or so, in fact - I've been amazed at the level of ignorance and cluelessness some female-bodied people in our society express when it comes to said female bodies. Really amazed. Because most of this ignorance is sexual, and therefore directly related to the sex of their bodies:

How do you masturbate? What's a clitoris? Do I have one? Where is it? What's an orgasm?

Etc.

I have asked myself and others where this level of HUHWHAT? comes from. Don't these people read books? Magazines? Do they read at ALL? Do they have any curiosity? How is it possible to even reach the age of 15 and not know these things...let alone 17, 18, 19, 24....?

At this moment, however, many of these people are probably one-up on me.

There is a good chance, you see, that most of them actually know their correct BRA SIZE. Or are closer to knowing said bra size than I am.

It's a bit difficult to pretend superiority when you've just discovered that for a few years now at least, you've been underestimating your bra measurements by AT LEAST two cup sizes. That for years now you've somehow convinced yourself that your 30C bra was pulling apart at the seams despite the most minimal usage because it is TOO BIG, and not because it is TOO SMALL.

And that right there folks, IS NOT MADE OF WIN AND RAINBOWS.

At least now I know why it's been hurting so much more to bind in recent years. And why my binders fall apart much faster.

OMG I HAVE TEH DUM.

GAH.

Eh, my mom rocks!

Okay, so I've mentioned I need a new binder. My mom offered to take me shopping for a Barbie doll to use as a subject for Photography at school. (It's supposed to represent "something I used to be" - I chopped his hair off and dressed him in Ken clothes to show how I played with my toys as a kid, which pretty much defines my childhood. Oh, yeah, now the Barbie's transitioning, too. I got attached to him. His name's Andy. Not much has changed.) I asked if we could try getting something to use as a binder, too. She said sure.

Huh, whadaya know, she thought I meant school binder. Serious miscommunication problem, here.

We got that all straightened out. As it turns out, we couldn't get me a binder at Wallmart b/c
1)Of course, since I live in Canada, prices on stuff like back braces, etc. are twice the price in the U.S. and my mom didn't have the cold cash on her. (She thought she was buying a Barbie and a school binder, remember.)
2)There wasn't anything that looked truly useful in Wallmart, or anyplace else. It should be mentioned that Wallmarts in Canada, my mom tells me, are a lot smaller than the ones in the U.S. (Cultural differences again. *sighs*)

So we ordered through Sears. *laughs* My tummy trimmer should be here Thursday. Yay!
