Older women, women with weight changes or visible disabilities, or transfolk of Lemmy - how has the male gaze changed for you? - eviltoast

Hello ladies (current and former) of Lemmy (current) - I’m curious how your experience of the male gaze has changed as you moved in and out of young-woman-hood.

How has your opinion of being seen changed through this process?

    Top level comment was deleted, but I was 220 at 5’ before I lost weight and I was still very mobile, hygienic, and wearing cute clothes. Maybe they deleted because they didn’t want to talk about what else was going on.

      It was quite a personal comment, and it seemed likely to get only moreso. I don’t blame them for deleting it.
