Feeling inadequate about my body because of the trans ideology

Hi everyone! It's my first post on this forum because I'm so desperate to find at least some support and to feel seen, I feel like I'm the only woman in world who has this issue and it's so distressing, and since this forum is one of few gender critical ones, I'm here.

I want to say in advance that I have nothing against trans people, I'm fully supportive of them, I think they're people that deserve love and help. But this doesn't align with my feelings about my body. I've always been a little different from other women. Not completely masculine but tall (5'8), fairly straight body type, with moderate body hair. Also I have tuberous breasts which make me feel like I'm not womanly enough because I want to have a child in future and I want to breastfeed but tuberous breasts can be an obstacle in longer breastfeeding. Those all features make me feel less womanly. And it's so upsetting. But what makes me even more self conscious and sad is that I share some common features with trans women. And it makes me so sad when people compare women like me and trans women who are biologically males. I feel like my womanhood is fragile, that I am not that different from a biological male that takes HRT. I'm so scared of voicing this opinion because people would go "why are tou disgusted by the fact that you abd trans women share similar features? Trans women are women!". But I'm gender critical. So for me it's actually all backwards. It's that the fact that a male can realistically change his body to look more like mine and my unconventional features being used to prove that trans women are real women too that makes me so distressed. To the point I actually don't consider i have breasts, even though they're moderately sized and noticeable, I just feel like I'm not me.

I'm sorry if I offended someone. I'm just so sad and upset about how i feel about my body. I hope at least one wan here feels the same. I don't feel seen at all and everything on the internet makes me feel bigoted. Thank you!

It’s lovely that so many ‘new’ and ‘first-time’ posters find the courage to start threads here. Just heart warming.

My thoughts too.

Wait you thought i was a TRA or a man? I'm genuinely so confused by this thread. I got defensive, yes. But it's because I'm a petty insecure person.

I just now think someone got suspicious of me because i mentioned i thought it's impossible to find my breasts attractive. And breastfeeding. That's because those are legit concerns. I handled it badly and i sincerely apologised but some of you people shouldn't be so harsh either. I told I'm studying so I'm very busy. I can't just go find a job and find a friend i can trust in a week. And my family doesn't speak of such issues. I still don't know what you all mean and who do you think i am. I asked you directly and you just mocked me. No shade.

Honestly.

The irony is that men who think they’re women and have the op generally have normal looking breasts. Because they’re literally fake.

Op - you’re fooling no-one

BeeHive909 · 16/10/2026 23:12

Can you not have implants if it bothers you at much ? My god mum was the same as you 5’8 slim and no breasts and she had surgery about 10 years ago. Best thing she ever did and her confidence is sky high now

Not going to lie, I have no idea what a tuberous breast is. Is it shaped like a potato?

More like Dahlia tubers perhaps?

I'm super scared but at the same time i kinda want it. But I think that before doing something with your body that isn't concerning health, you should treat your mental health. So I'd try counseling first. If it doesn't help, maybe I'll woman up and do this 😆

Or work on building a healthy self image, and being accepting of oneself and your body as it is via therapy.

How would you be able to identify a TRA lurker when this is your very, very first post on here?
Hmm

Oh op. You’re embarrassing yourself now. But I understand why. You’re not ‘a native’ and you have tuberous breasts

Can i just report this thread for deletion at this point? You all are just mocking me. It's obvious that the smallest things are actually the most difficult like prepositions and weird collocations.

Also thank you for mocking my boobs too
