I was thinking the same thing and wondering who was responsible for that decision.
She sounds so non-human that I thought it was a deepfake. Holy shit that woman is creepy.
Binding is super-dangerous and so many young women have no idea.
"Stop worrying about binding, I'll cut them off anyway." completely ignoring all the other health complications, Jesus Christ.
Is it just dangerous in the way Victorian corsets were or does binding have its own set of risks outside of that?
That woman was not sober when she made that. My guess is patients have been having second thoughts after doing their own research/asking literally anyone else for advise.
Corsets are actually way better for you than binding. They get a bad reputation from the hyper-cinched-waist trends, but daily wear corsets were as comfy (if not more so) than a modern bra.
Corsets aren't dangerous but binders are. Binders compress the chest, corsets are worn around the waist.
I was thinking more of Victorian corsets. Victorian fashion - hell, Victorian England itself - was terrifying. A stiff wind catching your massive skirt could just carry you out to sea. Just existing in your house, with its arsenical wallpaper, could make you sick and kill you. Also, pregnancy corsets.
What upsets me most about this whole thing is that I know that having big tits sucks and sometimes you just want to lop them off and be done with them. What gets me so MATI with people like Dr. Mengallagher is that I could absolutely see myself getting caught up in this shit if it had been around when I was younger. Puberty sucks. Everyone has to go through it and be uncomfortable with their bodies for a while. Cunts like Sidhbh Gallagher offer a cure-all. "I can make you comfortable in your body."
There is something about this video in particular. This is like seeing beyond the veil to witness the archon speaking to the hylics.
They irreversibly damage the growth of growing breasts, see 'breast ironing' which is a practice in parts of Africa where the women encourage doing this to their daughters on the onset of puberty to deter predators. It's in the name of protecting them but they absolutely deform the tissue and the breast ends up saggier than it should have been. As well as generally fucking up the breast tissue itself, you'll get nerve issues and problems in the surrounding arms and lymph nodes because everything is compressed under the covers, ligaments, blood vessels. Compress the blood vessels, you cut off blood flow. I think of it like a similar sort of mechanical issue as people getting bed sores on the side in contact with the mattress but even worse because, you know, it's the ribcage.
Which also makes sense why Shibby would encourage people to do it. If they have damaged breast tissue anyway, might as well cut it off, right? You'll never have "beautiful" breasts even if you keep them, so just cut them off!
It's got such a laundry list of 'side effects' (more like the direct effect) that I forgot about the respiratory issues too. It horrifies me how modern breast binding has sprouted up in the Western world to go completely, completely unchallenged, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember any purely European society that had this specific practice. Hell, indigenous Americans didn't do this. Yet here we are in current year.
wow I never noticed but has she had a stroke before or something? Or is this just Irish dysgenics?
Roald Dahl was right again.
Working fine for me, and thanks for sharing it over here!
