Yes yes yes a thousand times yes.

I'm so sick of being honked at, whistled at, sexually harassed...I want to lose enough weight in my chest and hip area that I look boyish more than anything.
They're not gonna stop. Trust me.
I thought no one would be interested in me but that wasn't the case. It was just different type of guys that were into me instead.
I found it bizarre.
 
I have so much to say about this omg
First of all I was since ever a bit of a weird person; I liked to be alone, do arts, read etc etc. But then people wanted me to hang out more with them and they started dragging me with them and I started to change. Also because I got a boyfriend then. I opened up to be a rather body positive person, I was okay with porn, people being attracted to me because of my body and I wanted to have bigger boobs and shit.
BUT: The old me came back LUCKILY. I started to hang out by myself again because I was kind of tired to be always hanging out with a bunch of other 15 year old girls who only talk about boys and twerking and curves and made me feel shitty for being rather "flat". However, I started thinking more and more and reading biology related stuff (since I discovered my passion for medicine and the human anatomy). I came across an article that said that women with bigger breast, ass etc are considered attractive by men because it's a sign of fertility.

Lets summarize: Being fertile means you are ready to reproduce. So you are fat to be able to reproduce. Guys get boners, not because they like you; but because they're feeling the urge to produce offspring, because their animalistic instincts are telling him that you are fat enough to let some stupid fetus take substances of your body. It's so bestial.

And when I really thought about this I swear I started feeling more and more uncomfortable... Even now I feel like throwing up because this seems horrendous to me.

I want to live for myself, I want to study, I want to learn, to be successful, to have brains, to be artistic, free, elegant.
I'm not an animal, neither will I accept this animalistic instincts people still have! I can think.
And I don't want someone to feel like I'm fat enough to make this bestial act. I don't want to have kids. I don't want to live for them or to give them my life. And I won't change my opinion. I've never wanted kids and I will never want to have them.
I want to live for myself, move to other cities whenever I feel like it, be independent.
My life and body belongs only to me.

That's why I want to keep being thin. I will be elegant, pure, nearly childish, simple... But I will have galaxies in my head, tons of books and informations, fantasy. I want to impress the world around me with my knowledge. I want people to be able to like me for who I am, what I know and not for what I am outside.
I want to be pure and invisible outside so people will see my ideas, take me seriously.

And it's not like I don't want to have sex. In fact, I do! But I want to do it with a person who fell in love with my words, my mind, my soul. Someone who thinks this is a pure thing of love and is not completely driven by crazy hormons.
And I want to be thin, no matter if boys won't be attracted to me, because I what I want, is a man that's more than just a dick.

I hate it when boys say they'd like to f me because I know what's going on in their minds is just "wow dem boobs, dat ass!! bang that bitch!".
I wish they'd want to because "wow, this girl is an artist. I want to make love with the human that has written so many beautiful poems, maybe sleeping with her will feel like a poem too."

You may say I'm a hopeless romantic but I have to admit that yes, I am, and being skinny will help me to find myself again if I'm ever lost.
Being skinny is for me something that has a deep meaning, something that comes from my soul.
love this more than words can say! be carefull your gonna turn me gay LOL jk!
 
I'm not very good at expressing my feelings about this. I agree, in a 'I want to be seen as a person' way rather than being anti-sexual or wanting to regress back into childhood. My puberty was delayed and my body isn't very 'womanly' (both as a result of malnutrition), and although at the beginning I didn't intend to stop myself from being sexualized, being seen as non-sexual is just a part of me. The delayed puberty meant that my body was still childlike even when other people my age were grown adults, so in that way I kinda had an extended childhood. I'm just comfortable like this, so I resist changing. I am defined by my non-sexy, childish body, like I am also physically defined by my dark hair and eyes and my race and my height, etc. Having it completely change now, at age 20, would freak me out.

That's the main part of it, though I think my sexuality also has an influence. I'm gay but living in a very heterosexual society, like most people. Men express attraction to women, and vice versa, and that's all okay except really awkward if you're not straight. I accept that guys will find me attractive, and I can deal with some of it, but it just seems easier and better if I avoid it completely by appearing as a girl. It makes guys being attracted to me less likely, and also makes it seem as weird to other people as it does to me.

i love that i dont even have to wear a bra most of the time lol most people would be like uhh you should get them done and im like nooo thanks! dont want them dont need them! no offense if you do have a larger cup btw but just saying that should not be considered the norm, i never had them past an A cup but im perfectly fine with mine! :)
 
it's kinda weird, I don't want to be seen, but when I am seen I just want to be sure I'm not seen as disgusting. I don't think much about whether I'm sexual or not but if I knew someone was thinking about me sexually I'd be uncomfortable

It gives me terrible anxiety just thinking my body can be even a little bit sexualized. It makes me feel violated. But, I guess that just goes along with me wanting to be perceived as a cute little girl. And, how wrong is it to want to fuck a little girl?
When I was walking my dog, wearing baggy everything, a crusty, old man yelled "Hey, sexy!" I nearly had a panic attack. I told my mom about the situation and she just laughed and said, "You're growing up. Some people are going to think of you that way."
And, I'm just thinking WhatnononononononoonooButI'mnosorrynotmeokaythanksmovealong.
Also a plus to losing weight, in my case anyway, you look more androgynous along with looking pubescent.
Wow. It's messed up that she laughed it off.

So I'm black and am not attracted to black guys. At all. The majority of black and hispanic guys I've ever encountered have liked a "thick" woman. I'm little in the middle but I've got much back (and boobs), so they're always yelling at me out of their cars "Yo, Ma! What's good?"

I friggin' hate that shit.

I don't care if guys honk or whistle, it's just the ones who scream at me who bother me. So that's why I'd like to be a lot smaller. Just to avoid those types. Also, I'm engaged to a white guy and there's this weird... animosity when black guys see us together. Some have said I could do better, should find a real man (a black man), have said I hate my race. I think it's jealousy, so I guess if I could make myself smaller and less appealing to them, we wouldn't get so much of that treatment anymore.
It's jealousy and their unnecessary inferiority-complex.

Oh you sound like me. I went through a very sex-posi *~I'm so progressive porn is cool~* phase too. Then I woke up. My phase ended quickly as I saw how disgusting raunch culture is and how much of a parasite it is in people's brains. It's everywhere and it makes me so depressed. I want to think other things. I want to see beauty in life. Everyone is so primal, but I want to be in a dream world where everything is perfect and people love without the pretence of "those big tits!! Nail all the girls!!" I do believe we are JUST animals but we are animals with the capability to recognize that we can be more than that.

I dunno. I have so much in my mind and heart that just gets overlooked.

But I guess like you, people just consider me a hopeless romantic.

My favourite is when I try to explain that I don't like being sexualized, and I get the response, "oh...were you raped? Is it 'cause you were raped?" WOW, NO?

Or, "oh I'm sorry I called you sexy would you rather I call you beautiful?" DEAR GOD idk which is worse. I would rather you not call me anything and not look at me or talk to me or think about me.

And then when I say, "I don't want to be beautiful" I always get, "you mean....society's idea of beautiful. You want to be edgy and alternative, I get it." No, I want to be no one's idea of beautiful you ignorant fuck. Why do the normies think all my problems are caused by society? What is with this obsession with society? I don't fucking leave my house how would I know what the hell society is up to?

I feel you guys. I'm sick and tired of being seen as a sexual creature. I really take care of my inside world. I care about my education, being a better person, about beauty and justice in this world. I need love in my life, not lust. I want to be loved and desired for who I am.

In the past I had this phase when I used to embrace my sexual nature and be proud of it, but guys take it the wrong way and all they see is a banging object.

Now I just want to look really asexual, get rid of my massive boobs so people would see behind my appearance, that I have this world inside me to offer instead of boobs and pretty face.

Me three. I can't help but feel disgusted at how animalistic all of that seems to me. We are animals, yes, but we are rational animals, that is the difference.
 
I feel like stuck between both sides. Part of me wants to be beautifully slim and sexy and attractive and I want guys to notice me and girls to envy me... but I don't want anyone to pay any attention to me! I hate the idea of guys looking at me in a sexual way simultaneously, and I want to disappear so I honestly don't know which kinda side I'd fall on
 
My mom would always comment on my chest saying it was too pointy or sticking out too much and that I should cover up, always making me feel slutty, I made sure to lose weight and become flat and now I hate breasts, I never want them back.
And now of course she says I look too flat and that girls should have some curves.

Oh please.

This, definitely. There's a difference between being related to as a sexual person, and being treated as a sexual object. And sexism causes that difference to fall along gender lines.
True. It irks me when people try to make it out as if it's a level plane that occurs regularly on both sides. And I love your username. So friggin' clever XD
 
I'm phobic of being sexualized. I have never been raped (as people assume, but my body has been touched in unwanted ways by unwanted people). Where a lot of you would prefer to be/childlike, I just would like to be pure. And stop in aging where I'm now. Eternal 16. When I feel like I'm being sexualized (staring, touching, commenting, complimenting etc), my first reaction is panic. And then I get really nauseous. I wanna run away or hide or become invisible. And i wanna bathe or shower for a very long time. Wash it away. I'm not asexual. Not at all. But that part is very very very private to me. Something that can only be between me and one other person. By choice. But I get attention from people. Sometimes too much.But it's not by choice, and I wish it just went away. I don't wanna be looked at. I in a way feel that "they have no right to look at me/comment/touch.
 
i don't want people to think anything about me in regards to my body except for "thin" or "nothing" because it's the best thing out of all the things someone could think.

i was living with this guy for a couple months who would always talk about women's bodies like objects basically, like women walking on the street outside the car window and it was really triggering.
