I hope curves help, I think they will. Also hoping they come soon (but somehow also not in an obvious way)

There are some general differences in xy/T and xx/E rib cages but they're very minimal and human variation is enough that there are lots of cis women with bigger rib cages than plenty of cis men. I completely understand dysphoria isn't rational, I have writing dysphoria and that's not exactly rational lol, but I dunno about a rib cage being clockey. I've never thought of it at all and I've seen a lot of rib cages (at work).
I mean, you can get barrel chest but that's like decades of COPD or cystic fibrosis and then, yeah, it gets biiig but that's gender neutral. You ever seen someone with barrel chest? It gets big. The pictures always show a man but that's cause boobs kinda hide it lol - women can get barrel chested too. Ribs are pretty pliable to change over time, also fun fact they regrow! Which is kinda spooky.

I could have sworn people talked about how T makes you get a bigger ribcage, and that effecting how boobs grow in? Otherwise its whatever, its just knowing mine is big (like most of me, bigger then most men's) and thinking that will effect how I look when I start presenting fem.
I don't have either of those issues, but that's interesting.
I'm not actually too upset by it right now, but thank you for replying, I always appreciate it a lot.

Really? That’s actually really comforting. I’ve always thought my ribcage was too big but maybe it’s actually proportional and just seems big because I’m taller than the average woman 🤔
Also yeah ribs regrowing is kinda weird. Like why ribs and nothing else?
