There is a woman, Astrophysicist Sarafina Nance, who learned she had the genetic markers for breast cancer. She had a family history of breast cancer. She had to go through multiple doctors before she could get a double mastectomy because "what if you want to have babies and breastfeed them?"

What's more, multiple men complained on her social media account on her "mutilating" her body with the double mastectomy because they preferred natural breasts even though Nance was in a committed relationship with a guy and they never would have a chance. They wanted to ogle her real breasts and to hell with her health.

Do note, after breast reconstruction surgery, Nance's breasts looked absolutely fine, and she was even on the cover of whatever that magazine is that does the Swimsuit issues.

Women are often discouraged from getting breast reduction surgery. Doctors will trot out the "breastfeeding" line and try to guilt women into not having surgery because these often-male doctors feel that a man's needs (for ogling breasts and for father children) is more important than a woman's right to have a healthy life.

It's absolute bullshit. Women and transmen should be allowed to have breast reduction surgery without any societal issues at all. And a study in the Journal of Urology found 1 out of 4 men in this study reported decisional regret after penile prosthesis surgery. Yet there is no real pushback against men getting implants. Between 5-9% of women feel regret after breast implants. You don't see a huge pushback against women getting implants outside of the "naturalists" who "prefer" large natural breasts to ogle.

Our bodies are our own. We should be allowed to mod them as we see fit.

You shouldn’t have to be trans to get any sex characteristic-related surgery. It’s not a limited resource. Plenty of cis men get implants and cis women get breast reductions. From Colby Gordon today and Leslie Feinberg in Transgender Warriors (1996).

Okay so if I am a trans girl in a girls locker room and I need to hide my fake breast. What do I do?

Lee says:

If you're going to the swimming pool, you could change into your swimsuit at home and just put your normal clothes on top of your swimsuit.

Then when you get to the locker room, you can take off your clothes And just shower wearing your swimsuit then go right into the pool.

That way you don't have to get fully naked in the locker room, so nobody will notice if you have swim-friendly breast forms on under your swimsuit (and if you choose to take them off to swim, you can just leave them at home where you normally hide them).

After you finish swimming, you could either dry off thoroughly and then just head home and shower there.

Or you could shower in the locker room still wearing your swimsuit, then dry off and put on a coverup (like this) over your swimsuit to go from your house to the pool if you don't want to put on your street clothes over your damp swimsuit again.

If you do have a certain amount of privacy with the shower (ie nobody can see you while you are in the shower) then you can just bring your towel in with you and keep a change of clothes nearby so you can strategically cover yourself.

-

If you're going to the gym, you could do the same thing as the pool advice! Change into your workout clothes at home, then when you stop in the locker room you can just put on your gym shoes or store your bag and coat and then go into the gym, and you won't need to change clothes.

After you finish working out, if there aren't any private showers or private changing stalls, you could just go home a lil sweaty and change there.

If you can’t change in a private stall or in the bathroom of the locker room because there aren’t any available, you should try to face the wall and hold your towel around yourself for privacy while you're changing your shirt and bra. 

It can be kind of tricky to hold the towel around your waist while also changing, but you only need to do it when you’re pulling off your underwear and then putting on your swimsuit bottoms. Once you’ve pulled the swimsuit over your privates, then you can drop the towel.

It’s a pretty common thing to do since not everyone (Cis or trans) is comfy just changing with everythin out there in the public. There are cisgender women who wear breast forms after a double mastectomy, so if they are spotted that could be a good excuse to use if your chest is visible while you’re holding your towel over the crotch area.

I’d practice at home first to make sure you’re comfortable doing it- actually grab a towel and your bathing suit or gym clothes and try changing out of your street clothes into your bathing suit/gym clothes until you can do it without dropping the towel or getting stuck.

If you do choose to change your clothes there, I'd skip showering if possible and just use a deodorant wet wipe and take off the gross sweaty clothes for now, and shower when you get home. That way you don't have to deal with the crotch situation when you take off your underpants to shower.

But if there are private shower stalls and curtained off private showers, you might feel more comfortable than if there are big group communal showers with no privacy. Just put your clothes/towel right at the edge of the shower area within arm's reach so you don't have to leave the stall with nothin on.

-

If you're going to the locker room to change for gym class at school, you could try Avoiding the locker room.

When I was in high school, I brought my clothes with me and changed in the regular bathrooms instead. If you have them, a gender neutral bathroom is a great option too.

If you don't want to carry your gym clothes in your backpack all day, you can leave them in the gym locker like everyone else, then go in the locker room, grab the clothes from your locker, and take them to change in the nearest bathroom without even asking the teacher if you don’t think it’ll get you in trouble.

If you’re out as trans, you could explain that you're wearing breast forms and that you’ll need privacy to your gym teacher, and ask them to be allowed to change elsewhere, like in the nurse’s office bathroom.

Or you can tell your teacher it’s a shyness/anxiety thing if you are stealth and don’t want to out yourself!

But yeah, for school gym class locker room situations my advice would be to try and find a work-around so you don't actually have to change in front of the other girls in the locker room and can just slip off to change in the bathroom instead, and you can slip your breast forms in your backpack at that point if you don't want to wear them during the PE class.

Followers, any advice for anon?

Followers say:

dustiestsquid said: If you’re extra worried about dropping the towel add a chip bag clip to your gym bag. You can use you help secure the towel.

lotusound said: i’m not really sure if they sell it in foreign countries, but in japan we have towels for changing in pool locker rooms that has suction buttons or whatever you call them and you can wear it like a cape around your neck or waist. i haven’t checked yet but maybe try looking it up on amazon? i suck at explaining things so if you wanna know what it looks like search プールタオル (pool towel)

venomsbite said: Back in gym i used to put on the gym shirt over the old shirt and take my arms out of both sleeves, pull up the old shirt over my shoulders or to the point where I could get my arms into the arm holes of the gym shirt. Then, I’d pull the old shirt over my head

wasabicouscous said: You could also try wearing a skirt that day, and changing under it? there are towels that are meant to be worn as a cape/poncho that you can use, or you can sew two big towels together, leaving the bottom open and part of the top for your head. armholes are also recommended

bewilderthewayyoushould said: I used to be super self conscious in locker rooms (foreshadowing or what haha) and just changed in the bathroom stall and honestly, nobody really cared or even noticed. Bring a swaddle of things (clothes, swimsuit, other necessary objects), change in there, and put your stuff back in your locker. Ready to go. Also, being strategic about where you choose your locker - the quietest corner, or at the end.

angelofmusings said: If you’re just changing into clothing and not a swimsuit, you can put on a new shirt before taking off the old one, then take your arms out of both shirts and put the new shirt on by putting your arms between the shirts and then through the arm holes in the new shirt. Then take the old shirt off through the neck hole of the new shirt. It only really works with t-shirts but it’s a really useful trick whenever you want to change shirts in public.

ace-protaganist said: God, school locker rooms. The death of every trans teen. My suggestion is to wear a tank top and/or under your clothes, that’s what I did. It might be slightly hotter, but changing over it is really easy and quick. The main goal is in and out as quick as possible.

I Thought Fashion Week Would Be a Joke Until I Was Moved to Tears at a Chromat Show

I arrive to New York Fashion Week in a cab because I do not want to walk in heels to the subway, but also because I figure this is what a model would do. New York Fashion Week feels like the glamorized idea I had of New York before moving here: that of taking a cab to some fabulous event, getting stuck in traffic, telling your driver “actually, I’ll just get out here,” and then daintily darting across a cobblestone street in heels to Mr. Big, who is waiting at the top of some sort of staircase. As it happens, seven years in New York have rendered me a cynic, and I know that cabs are too expensive a habit, heels are simply impractical, and I would have married Aidan.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

But for my first NYFW, I decide to live in that idealized New York. As I get out of my cab and daintily dart across a cobblestone street in my Jeffrey Campbells, I wonder: is this what New York is like for hot people?

As I am wont to do, I quickly begin to feel like a fraud. It starts when I realize I have mistakenly shown up very early, and am going to have to kill two hours thinking about what a fraud I am. I leave the flurry of fashion folk— a sea of sheer black dresses, lime green pantsuits, and geometric head pieces that look like Tinker Toys— to the comfort of a five dollar Narraganset.

Everyone is “dressed to the nines,” which is a phrase I have never understood because nine is not a very big number. If we are using this very impractical scale, I would say I am dressed to the sevens. I am wearing a black mini skirt, a black crop top, and a white blazer. White. Suddenly I realize it is after Labor Day, and I am wearing the forbidden color. This is the only rule I know about fashion, and I have broken it—like a fraud. But by the end of the second Narraganset, I shake it off by reapplying my lipstick in the bathroom mirror and earnestly saying to myself out loud, “actually, you look hot tonight!”

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

I make my way to the line for Chromat and learn I am sitting in “A-1”— the front row. The floor is filled with people who seem to have all gone to high school together, and Whoopi Goldberg. The music is loud like the end of the world. The lighting is blue and different blue. We are packed tight in the seats, but I am afraid of touching the woman sitting next to me for fear that her outfit, which as far as I can tell is gold rope and a tan duvet cover, would simply unravel. I cross my legs to make space, and am warned that the photographers may tell me to uncross for them to have a clear shot. I do it only because I will take any excuse to not cross my legs.

Admittedly, as a comedian and a cynic, I am expecting to find this all to be some big joke. And don’t get me wrong: to my left is a man with a belt and chain feathered crown who makes me want to give up comedy and move to a citrus farm on the central coast of California. But to my surprise, I am genuinely moved by the Chromat show.

The show, in Chromat’s words, “is inspired by wet t-shirts. We wanted to reclaim the experience of hiding under a giant T-shirt at a pool party (when ur too embarrassed to be seen in swim) and make it a garment to wear proudly.”

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

I think about myself as a little girl, wearing my dad’s t-shirt over a swimsuit at a soccer tournament pool party, feeling like a fraud. What I would have given for that girl to see Chromat’s cast of models with different bodies, skin tones, abilities, identities, and bangs, in swimwear that made them all look hot. A pink and red two-piece with a pleasant amount of underboob. A white crop top with “sample size” written across it. Mama Cax in a scooping black cover up with a neon green top. These women and their fashion pieces make me feel like maybe there is a space for me too, whether it is in a pool or at NYFW.

I am told that cheering does not happen in fashion shows, which in my mind makes them tonally identical to a Supreme Court session. But as Ericka Hart, a sex educator and activist I admire, walks the runway proudly zipping down her one-piece to reveal her double mastectomy scars to a cheering crowd, my cynical New York heart and I well up.

Cancer survivor who opened local shop for other patients now looking for buyer after cancer returns

SMITHVILLE, Mo. — After beating cancer twice, a Smithville woman opened a store to service other cancer patients and survivors. But now, Kathy Dibben’s cancer is back, and she’s trying to sell her store.

Dibben open Absolute Dignity in 2017. The store sells undergarments and bathing suits made for women who had mastectomies and wigs, scarves and hats.

But Dibben can’t keep the store open anymore because of the physical demands of the job. She fits women for wigs and mastectomy bras, but she experiences great pain when she lifts her arms and stands for too long.

“For so long, so many of my family have wanted me to close the store, but I’m kind of hard headed,” Kathy Dibben said. “The facility is actually what’s kept me going.”

Over 12 years, Dibben serviced more than 1,500 clients. She’s selling the store because she wants them to get continued care for their cancer-related needs.

“They come in and say, ‘Kathy has made them feel whole,'” said Peggy Schroeder, Dibben’s friend and a volunteer at the store. “That she makes them feel like a woman again. She inspires them. She gives them hope. She is there, showing cancer is not a death sentence. It’s a life sentence. She shows us how to keep doing it.”

Dibben opened Absolute Dignity when she had trouble finding a swimsuit that could hold her prosthesis. At the time, she was a two-time breast cancer survivor and had undergone a double mastectomy.

“I wanted it to be a full line store without feeling like you were going to another doctor’s appointment,” Dibben said.

She also had colon cancer in 2010 but didn’t need treatment. She had 18 inches of her colon removed.

“Then in 2014 the breast cancer from 1990 metastasized to my bones. They told me at that time they had no cure, but they had treatment and the typical survival was one to three years,” Dibben said. “I said that’s what you told me 24 years ago.”

It’s been five years, and Dibben is still fighting and still working in her store despite the cancer’s progression. It’s in her full skeletal system, liver, pancreas, kidney, lung, breast and brain.

She didn’t respond to chemo after brain radiation, and doctors stopped treatment. All she gets now are pain killers through an IV.

Dibben is getting palliative and hospice care. But her biggest concerns are for the women who shop at her store. She’s been getting a lot of help from her friend Peggy.

“She is phenomenally strong and stoic,” Peggy said. “She does not complain. She just says well I had to be at work to help my ladies. And that’s what she does.” But fitting women for mastectomy bras and wigs is physically too painful for Dibben. She can’t lift her arms well, gets back pain and tires easily. So, she’s selling the store.

“I’m not checking out soon, but I do need something with the facility,” Dibben said. “And find a home for my ladies.”

Dibben posted about the sale on Facebook. She’s sad to see it go because the women she’s helped have helped her.

She and her loved ones have hope for her health and hope for the future of the store. They’re confident they’ll find a buyer to help so many women battling cancer.

“Her customers have called and said, ‘Oh no, you’re dying,'” Schroeder said. “And I said, ‘No, she’s living.’ And she’s showing me how to live. And I think that’s pretty awesome.”

Dibben is looking forward to the day she finds a buyer so she can spend more of her precious time with her family.

Three Reasons You Need Breast Reconstruction

Following a mastectomy, many women may decide to undergo breast reconstruction. This is when the breast or breasts are recreated either with implants or with tissue from other parts of the body such as the tummy or legs. If you have had a single or double mastectomy or a lumpectomy, this is a big decision to make. However, there are many benefits to this procedure. 1.    Balance in a Bra and Swimsuit If you had a single mastectomy, wearing a swimsuit or bra can be uncomfortable. Some women may choose to wear a prosthetic to help balance the chest, but this can be difficult to wear while swimming. If you have a breast reconstruction, your new breast is carefully constructed to match the size and shape of your existing, natural breast. This makes wearing a bra and swimsuit much more comfortable. 2.    Confidence in All Clothing With a breast reconstruction, you can feel confident wearing any piece of clothing. The reconstructed breasts look natural and allow you to wear any style of shirt or dress without fear of it not fitting properly. 3.    Reshape Breast After Lumpectomy Some women have a lumpectomy performed instead of a mastectomy. After the lumpectomy, your breast may be very unbalanced. Breast reconstruction can reshape the breast to help it look and feel more natural.   If you have had a mastectomy or lumpectomy, a breast reduction can help you feel confident in your appearance.

Lingerie Store Ordered to Remove Window Display of Plus-Size, Disabled Models

A lingerie store told to remove a window display featuring models of different sizes, colors, and abilities is being celebrated for its refusal to back down.

Photo: Getty Images

Livi Rae Lingerie in Kennesaw, Ga., is famous for its diverse selection of merchandise, which fits women with various body types, including those recovering from mastectomies or who have prosthetics or other disabilities. Owners Molly Hopkins and Cynthia Decker even star on the Lifetime reality television show Double Divas, which follows the duo’s attempt to revolutionize the intimate apparel industry with their tagline, “No bust too big or small, we fit ’em all.”

Photo: Facebook/Livi Rae Lingerie

So this past Valentine’s Day, the owners launched an in-store ad campaign featuring models Tisa Edge, a woman of color; Stacey Shortley, who is in a wheelchair, and Marie Layne and Bubble Bordeaux, both of whom are plus-sized. “We wanted to show people that they didn’t have to have perfect skin, bone structure, or bodies to feel beautiful,” Decker tells Yahoo Style.

A spokesperson at Westwood Financial, the Los Angeles-based property manager of Livi Rae Lingerie, tells Yahoo Style that the matter is under “investigation,” but Decker insists, “We’ve never had to clear an ad with the management property in the past. We were told the ad is in ‘poor taste,’ but no one has explained what that means.”

Meanwhile, Twitter has erupted with support for the lingerie shop, and the hashtag #NoShameLiviRae has taken off.

Lack of diversity is an ongoing issue in the fashion industry. According to a 2016 spring diversity report by The Fashion Spot, of the 422 models featured in 236 campaigns included in the study, only 21.8 percent were women of color, and 1.6 percent of the women were plus-sized.

However, the intimate apparel industry seems committed to broadening its beauty standards. In November, British clothing company Curvy Kate Lingerie released the Scantilly collection as part of its #TheNewSexy campaign, and it starred models who were transgender, in a wheelchair, suffering from alopecia (an autoimmune disease that leads to baldness), and who had a double mastectomy.

In January 2016, Aerie — American Eagle’s lingerie line — hired a curvy 19-year-old model in a promise to feature “real” women with “real bodies” and no airbrushing. And Ashley Graham, the first plus-size model to appear on the covers of American Vogue and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, launched a lingerie line for the Canadian brand Addition Elle back in October.

As for Livi Rae, the advertisements are still on display — for good. “No, we’re not taking the ads down,” says Decker. “Our message of diversity and acceptance is much too important.”
