[TW] I HAVE STRETCH MARKS!!!! :D

[TW] Stretch marks

I'm so happy about this OMG OMG OMG!!!! I have such a hard time gaining weight and since it was going down I assumed I needed to eat more, but it looks like I was losing muscle and gaining fat? I don't know any women around me who likes hers but I think they look soo cool! Like a nice pattern on my skin. :)

congrats!🥳

one thing I'd like to recommend is to moisturize as while the stretchmarks are a great indicator you probably don't want them to last

anyways again congrats! I'm happy for you!!🥳🌻
- Second this! I have a fair amount pre-transition when I was more active and involved in fencing. Sooo wish I had taken better care of my skin health (or more taught about the consequences).
  
  Congrats to OP!! 🙌
- Thank you!!😊 They are still small but with the way things are going they might get bigger :D
- And if they do last, you might have EDS! Zebra is our mascot for a reason 😅
I wish I could be a tenth as happy as you seem. I'm stuck with just gross ones from just a horrible relationship with food all my life.

I've never said this before, but we should put a TW on this. I didn't want to read this rn, and wouldn't have if I'd have known. (I thought it must be some other thing that just was being called stretch marks or something)
- Oh gosh I'm so sorry! I'm going to put a TW in the title.
  
  Thanks, ur not at fault, im a bit sick this morning and probably am an idiot is all.
Cis-het guy here. I really like stretch marks. I think it's something that appeals to my monkey brain (even though I really don't want kids, haha)

I'm happy for you and you should be proud of them for multiple reasons!
you're not alone in liking em, i think they're cute. and congrats!
