[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.

She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.

And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.

To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.

I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?

Then I realized I was the wife.

I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.

And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”

He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”

That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.

He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.

Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.

Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.

The cross was Him naming the price.

Praise the Lord.

For over a decade, I thought I had a male brain in a female body. In other words, I considered myself 🏳️‍⚧️ transgender.

Now, I’ve quit my gender transition, and have decided to go on a health and weight loss journey. I’ve lost over 40 pounds and I’m close to my goal weight.

With every pound I’ve lost, I become even more shocked that I managed to bind my chest for as long as I did.

The measures I took as an adolescent to ‘correct’ this gender incongruence have destroyed my upper body- both in form and in function.

I have a nerve injury, horribly flared ribs, damaged breast tissue, no positive sensation in the area, weakened skin, decreased lung capacity, severe left side back and neck pain…. Just to name a few.

Shapewear can hide quite a few of these things. But there are certain things that even multiple layers of shapewear can’t hide.

None of the trans adults guiding me and other known minors online about how to bind our breasts in secret, told us that any of this could happen to us. The most they said was to not bind with an ace bandage specifically, because then you can crack a rib. Everything else, the said, was safe if you do it no more than 10-12 hours a day. Years later, that number changed to eight hours.

Why? Because they’re making it up as they go along.

What they did not warn me or my peers about was that all breast binding done for a gender affirming purpose is inherently unsafe, and even more so when it is done by someone whose upper body (breasts, lungs, heart, ribs, spine etc) are still actively growing.

Because the trans community is still overwhelmingly buying into the notion that things like breast binding can be done safely for months or years at a time, without any evidence supporting their claim, kids are still getting hurt.

If the blatant lies that were told to me as a 12 year old girl in 2011/2012 weren’t continually peddled by online & irl trans communities, I would have nothing to speak out about.

But truthfully, breast binding is one of those practices that everyone still thinks is ok to lie about the harms of.

Parents are still buying their daughters breast binders thinking that they are “safe and reversible” or that these medical devices used for post surgical recovery are somehow “just pieces of clothing.” This includes parents who are already concerned about the medical harms of gender transition, but think that breast binding is a good compromise. It is NOT. It is actively hurting your growing kids.

Gender clinics promote these practices as being safe.

Schools still give out these dangerous medical devices to children without their parents’ knowledge. These are all big problems.

Take my story as a cautionary tale. Using multiple layers of shapewear, I might look ‘normal.’

Underneath it all, my left scapula aches before sending tingling sensations and then numbness down my left arm, whenever I stand or walk too long, or whenever I use a small shoulder bag. I’m almost 27, and I need a neck brace just to sleep. I cannot take deep breaths without pain. My ribs constantly feel like they’re hooking onto things underneath me when I’m lying on my side. That is in fact a very painful experience. There is no positive sensation in my chest and the entire area is deformed.

Gender affirming breast binding is NEVER harmless, nor does it cause damage which is easily reversible, or which is reversible at all. Most of this damage is not ‘a broken rib that will heal on its own.

It is done with no end in sight, and not under the strict supervision of a doctor monitoring the patient (as they would be in the case where a maximum of six weeks of binding is the post surgical recovery protocol).

It’s time that we all take the harms of gender affirming breast binding seriously. Not one study has shown that it can be done safely.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH GOAL IDEAS FOR THE WEEK.

I know the feeling of telling yourself every week, "this is my week of intentionality and extreme growth in my spiritual life."
And by Saturday when you reflect, you're like, "what really happened?"

Here are some ideas for you.

When Paul taught grace, he quoted Genesis, Psalms, and Jeremiah.

When he taught righteousness, he quoted Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Zechariah.

When he taught the liberty of Christ, he quoted Genesis.

One of the things they kept telling us at ante-natal appointments close to the day of delivery was “Once the water breaks, start coming to the hospital”.
But they did not mention that between the breaking of the water and the delivery of the baby were...

[Temiloluwa Ola @ptemiloluwaola]

Friend, push. Push in prayers. Push in asking for what you need. Let them say No and then ask another.

The water has broken that is why you are pressured- nothing can stop the bringing forth now.
