Pride’s over everyone! It’s now illegal to be gay again.

    Well of course the societal perception is the fuckin, "child birthing hips" meme but like, how true is it actually that say, cis women have a wider pelvis than trans women? Also "hips" tends to vary, whether it's "pelvic width" or "the widest point at the top of the femur" which is a whole thing.

      hormones don't affect bones once you're fully grown so it's probably true shrug-outta-hecks

        A little fat on the hips and thighs and butt goes a long way though, and you can definitely get that after your bones are done doing bone stuff.

      All my cis woman relatives have wider hips than me (in relation to the rest of their bodies), and this happened to them during puberty. Trans women who transition very young also often experience hip growth like this.

      Skinny hips aren't end of the world though. I usually hide mine under skirts and dresses and poofy pants that make me look like a Toriyama character.

        unreasonably sad and off topic

        Why couldn't I have transitioned very young :cri:

          yeah...

          There's always a younger youngshit, and I'm really happy for them for having an environment where that is possible, but also kitty-cri
