dysphoria will trick you into believing that there is a large bump but there isn’t
your chest is flat
one binder is enough, never use more than one binder to bind your chest
if you really do believe that there is a bump and it is causing you distress, you may need to buy a new binder because washing/drying incorrectly and prolonged use can cause the binder to lose it’s purpose
100% of the time your binder is fine though and it is just your mind telling you different
if you see the slightest bump, you will think it is 10x larger and worse than it actually is, but it isn’t
dysphoria skews your image by heightening your sex characteristics
no one will notice what you are dysphoric about because often there is nothing to notice, dysphoria is just making you self conscious and distressed over parts that people would not take notice of
dysphoria is not your fault. you are not an inconvenience, crazy or being annoying for having dysphoria. it is a condition and you deserve help.
you may think your legs are super feminine, but they actually appear masculine in those straight jeans. no one notices.
you may have a high pitched voice, but so do many guys. there are cis men who actually sound like women and i know it causes distress, but you can deepen it.
you may have a baby face, but so do other cis men. they’ll just think you look young for your age.
Please stop giving away so much personal information about yourself.
It doesnt seem like it but your blog is visited by hundreds of people with hundreds of different intentions weekly (or hell daily if ur a popular blogger). And posting your height, age, gender, privileges, all of your triggers, gives away a lot of information that you may regret posting later on.
The internet is a very scary place. Full of people who could do you harm with that sort of information.
You all have to understand that nothing on the internet is ever truly deleted or gone. So you REALLY have to be careful about what you post and say.
A lot of you are keen to posting opinions online and as we all know on the internet opinions are going to anger a lot of people.
People could potentially track and harass you. It is a very dangerous world full of messed up people. And as minors you should all be very wary of who you trust online and think twice before you post something. Just posting “please dont follow if youre _____” isnt going to help from that.

Please stop posting your skype address.
I know it’s tempting to make new friends. And I know that faceless people are easier to talk to. But it’s dangerous. And we’re not trying to parent or berate you. We just want you to be safe.
Trust me.
Down the road you’re gonna realize you made a lot of dumb mistakes trying to be friends with the world. The world isn’t made of all friendly people. And I truly adore your optimism. I’m the same way.
But I’d rather you learn in a safe setting then after putting yourself in harms way.
Love,
the 21 year old side of Tumblr.
Signal boosting the hell out of this.
Protecting your privacy is a learned skill. It doesn’t come naturally, particularly on a media designed to allow you to connect with others. And we all want to connect with others.
But it’s an important skill. Gain awareness early, make good choices, do not put yourself in a position where days, months, years, or decades down the line someone will use your own data against you.
This is not about stranger danger, this is not about the older tumblr generation “not getting it” and adopting a helicopter parenting approach to their younger tumblr siblings’ online shenanigans.
This is about the older generation having experienced rapid changes in technology first hand and knowing that none of us can know what to expect next, that none of us can predict what uses people, businesses and governments will come up with next for your data.
We don’t know. You don’t know. And in many cases, they don’t know. Yet.
Look up the term “precautionary principle” on Wikipedia and aim to apply it. Protect your data, protect yourself, protect your future self.
For any of my younger followers.
And another big thing. The fact that you mutually follow each other means nothing. By all means talk to people but you’re NOT automatically friends. They’ve done nothing to earn your trust and you don’t know what they actually want. Don’t assume that everyone is automatically good and trustworthy.
I need all of my followers to see this. I don’t want y’all hurt.
These are great! These are all really useful methods of defending yourself and I actually learned most of these in my Krav Maga classes.
I would have to go up against people (usually guys) twice my size and could easily overpower me, but these tricks DO work and they don’t require a lot of strength.

Also, go for the eyes. Clawing somebody’s eyeballs is very effective.
Eyes are like grapes. Ears are like pull tabs. And if you’re going to grab his balls, girls - grab, pull, twist, and bring some home to mama.

just got off the phone with paypal and if you get an e-mail like this: it is FAKE. It’s sent from paypal@paypal.com, which is not paypal’s official e-mail address for things like this! (service@paypal.com)
Please don’t click any links and pass it on for other folks!
Anyway, here’s Paypal’s official support pagetalking about their security upgrade roadmap. And yes, people will have to make changes in order to have no interruption of service, and those changes will have to be in place by June 30, 2018. More importantly, those changes are considered the bare minimum in current internet website security, especially surrounding transactions. Here’s the official PCI compliance information on why(link). Paypal is changing because PCI compliance requirements are changing, so yes. You have to upgrade your website pay portal security.
Here’s the official list of things you have to do (source). Please handle this in order to prevent interruption to your shops.
