I'm afab, nb and have a very androgynous look, but with wide ish hips that kind of give me some mild dysphoria since puberty. How do you deal with a part of yourself you cant change? Any tips?

That’s understandable, and I can relate in a different way.

My ribcage is huge, and my waist is too small so my pants don’t stay up. I think “this isn’t the shape a person is supposed to be!” a decent amount.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with it too. I just have to keep reminding myself that people do, in fact, come in many different shapes and types.
