My username is @veryobviousvulva, I posted this image of my older sister and I playing in the bathtub when we were children. Neither of us were old enough to have even grown visible sexual reproductive organs, yet this was removed three times and almost had my account deleted. Part of my trauma is that females in particular are sexualized way way way before they even understand what’s happening. I remember when I was 11, my babysitter told me men were starting to look at me “different” and I asked why and she said because of my “mosquito-bite sized titties”.
