Commissioned by @silverclawz! A young genderfluid person is insecure about how skinny they’ve always been, despite their best efforts, and decide to hire a personal trainer to help them tone up. Please reblog and leave feedback!
You’d always been lean and tall, which was fine when you were a little kid. As you aged and hit puberty, though, and you didn’t develop… anything… anywhere… you started to feel self-conscious about your body. Seeing your ribs and spine sticking out against your skin was alarming, and you got called into the counselor’s office more than once in school with concerns that you were suffering from some sort of eating disorder. Anyone who knew you knew you had no such problems: you easily consumed twice as many calories than average for your size and still gained nothing.
You identified as genderfluid, so the androgyny was nice, but a little bit of squish wouldn’t have gone amiss, either. You were already in your early twenties and you were still shopping in the teen section. Adult clothes had to be altered to fit properly, and you just couldn’t be bothered to do it.
