In the last two days at work, three people have actually attempted to use the correct pronouns for me And my mom is starting to know more stuff about trans identity and me being ftm. She even knows what a binder is, now (and not to put it in the dryer).

Today I came home with a headache and whined to my mom about it.

And then she's like, "maybe you should take off your boobsmasher."

BOOBSMASHER. I love it, hahaha.

(She pronounced it boob-smasher, but boobs-masher seems equally appropriate and hilarious).

BOOB
SMASHER


I'M DYING.

LOL


Your mom sounds like she's putting in a good effort to learn! That's fantastic! I hope it keeps getting better for you.
I'm going to try to explain to my mother what a binder is when my new one comes in, in a week or so. I'm assuming she'll want to know what it is, since she tends to hover around the boxes I open since the curiosity is overwhelming for her. xD

I propose that we refer to binders exclusively as boobsmashers from now on.

  I SECOND THAT MOTION SIR!


I wish my family was like this, thats just freaking awesome!

although, i have similar experiences but not so much as being trans related as it is for my tourettes. but We all get a good laugh out of the funny things that come out of my mouth, so i guess i can only win in one area but thats alright!

MY ROOMMATE ALSO CALLS IT A BOOBSMASHER! 

It's such a great word!

I love all the great weird and random things that people say. Orangaline, my mom's ex-bf had Tourettes, they used to be hilarious together. Glad you have people to laugh with about it!

Is it bad that I expected the joke to be about you suffering from 'manflu' and this was further confirmation you are trans?

LOL

I call bras boulder holders. I believe I hate them as much as your boobs masher. Thanks for bringing a bit of levity to the group today. We need a lot more of that sort of thing!

Cindi

And now I have Otto Titsling stuck in my head.

Thank you.  Sincerely.  Thank you.

I prefer masher, personally. Lol. Either way your mom sounds cool.
