The one where Mama Mish gets interviewed – Part 2

One of the things I love about women’s bodies are the imperfections. The scars, the stretch marks, moles, freckles, curves, our minds and the way we see the world, and the list keeps on going. Its why I am still so attracted to women even to this day. I wasn’t worried about perfect symmetry, I just wanted my body to be balanced and fill my malformed breasts to an appropriate size for my massive frame, and you know what? The Dr did just that. I went to an appointment with a Dr who listened to me and what I wanted. He could tell by our conversation that I was doing the right thing and up until they put me to sleep to the moment I stood in the surgery today for a follow up I was treated like the woman I am with care and concern for my needs.

I stood there topless in my bathroom looking in the mirror. Yes I have a tummy, and yes I have stretch marks, I have scars that have left me feeling unattractive for years, I saw every flaw and every unique feature across my body that told many stories. But I looked at my body and I thought how feminine I looked. I saw how beautiful my imperfect body is now that I look balanced and don’t care about the flaws saying fuck the stereotypical standards because I love myself and I am such a beautiful woman with her own stories to tell.

Thank you Dean for seeing this and helping me share my story XO

*** We know that sometimes it can be hard to know who to talk to if you are experiencing a mental health crisis. If you do not have family and friends living nearby or a strong local support network it can be hard to get through difficult times on your own. Whether you are in a crisis or you just feel down and need to talk to someone, it is important to know that help is available at all hours of the day and night.

There are many free mental health hotlines and mental health online support services across Victoria, which provide crisis support, information, resources, counselling and therapy to people of all ages.
