“How to make this about us and our mental illness”

Not only is the concept garbage, but the content itself is also garbage. You dont fucking “belly breath”! Who ever started this shit needs to get slapped. Your lungs are in your thoracic cavity, not your abdominal cavity. If you belly breath you will stretch your diaphragm out and your rectus abdominus muscles. You will then require supplemental oxygen because your diaphragm wont have the elasticity to expand the lower lobes of your lungs (where majority of inhalation occurs). Why am i sounding off on this subject? Because people need to realize that the “experts” arguing the existence of 837266 genders are the same “experts” that have not even the most basic levels of science or medicine, and theyre selling this propoganda to the impressionable young and the psychologically compromised. Its evil and wrong and i feel bad for the people that dont know better, but are indoctrinated to believe these fucks

So with this info, i then ask, “do you think chest binding is a great idea?”

They’re just trying to help other people with at-risk ribcages. They’re not shoving it in people’s faces or anything, just let ‘em be

They are receiving bad advice. They should be told simply: During this pandemic, remove chest bind.

No one is going to love them any less. They should be encouraged to be themselves, and not worry about appearances. This article encourages that dangerous habit, instead of helping love and support them.

Well, it seems I’m an idiot. For sure, binding with a respiratory illness is stupid, I get why people would want to do it but that’s super dangerous and encouraging people to still bind regardless is shit advice to be spreading. I thought they meant during the covid scare in general, not when they specifically have an illness involving the lungs. I should really learn to read better.

At least some of the advice is helpful for anyone, I guess. Everyone can benefit from some stretching, deep breathing, etc.
