Eh? sports bras don’t make your breasts flat, stretched and saggy. Whereas binders do. One of the negative effects is that the breasts look cosmetically awful after binding - flat and saggy. Thus, of course, intensifying the girl’s “dysphoria” about them and reinforcing the desire to remove them.
Just one more of those supposed “reversible” interventions that actually makes it more likely that girls will want a mastectomy and negative body image much more entrenched.
So much of all of this is bound up with girls’ anxiety about the aesthetics of their bodies and how they match up - or don’t - to social standards and norms. If you’re not “pretty” it’s easy to decide your anxiety about your body is because it isn’t the “right” body. And then when binding makes your breasts look awful, it makes things ten times worse.
Anyone advocating these things for kids is SO much a part of the problem. What you want is for girls to feel bad about their bodies, and tell them that that’s right, they should. And to assuage if they should adopt this restrictive device that makes them look worse and intensifies their feelings. It’s not a treatment; it’s part of continuing and entrenching the negativity and the mental distress.
It’s the very opposite of body positive and accepting and freeing. I’d go so far as to say it’s actually quite evil what you’re doing, @MishyJDI . You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to make young girls, children, hate their bodies and feel even worse about themselves, rather than grow and recover and learn to like themselves and their bodies instead.
