spreading the bpd plural mike agenda

I’m in the club of that, if Mike wheeler was AFAB, whether he’s a trans man or she’s a lesbian, they would probably develop an eating disorder

we can already see in the show that Mike has some disordered eating with his anxiety

and, it’s not a necessity by any means, but I could definitely see that being increased if he/she was AFAB just do to the culture that ppl who are socialized as girls have to grow up in

she would feel like she can’t “truely” be a girl in some aspects (liking other girls/Willow, most of her interests being perceived more so as masculine) so she would feel pressured to “look more like a girl.” So not only would she restrict her eating due to anxiety and the loss of control in her life, but she would also restrict in a desperate effort to still fit into social norms in some way.

he would feel like he’s in a prison, he hates his curves, hates his chest, and hates the fact he bleeds every month. That paired with all the other effects of a loss of control in his life, he feels like restricting his eating is one of the only ways he can re-gain some control. After all, if he doesn’t eat enough, there’s gonna be no fat to go to his chest or his thighs, making them smaller, and there’s a chance of his period stopping all together (he’s ignoring the fact that means his organs are already shutting down)
