A post about body acceptance.
I was severely traumatized right through my childhood in various ways and am now in therapy for #CPTSD. Just one of the issues was constant bullying about my body by other pupils at school and by the #gym teacher who all called me #fat.
I thought I was extremely unattractive through childhood, and then puberty hits and suddenly I had #hair. Back then to be attractive men were supposed to be completely hairless on their body so my insecurities were compounded.
It literally took me to middle age before I started to accept the body I have. I still want to lose some weight (I’ve put on 20kg in the past five years) but finally I don’t mind the look of my body too much.
Part of that has been increasing body-positivity in the #LGBTQ community, I thank my chosen family for that. Still a work in progress but I’m getting there.
