This week, we discuss the intersection of purity culture and how AFAB folks tangle with body image upon entering and learning to navigate the scene. What can the pressures of idealized body image do to a person? And how can we start to reject the false standards of beauty taught to us through media and social reinforcement?

Please note that in this episode, we used the terms "male-bodied" and "female-bodied" but have since learned more and are changing our language to "AFAB" and "AMAB" in future discussions moving forward!

Here's an article on purity culture! --> Purity Culture and Its Effect on Mental Health (verywellmind.com)

**TRIGGER WARNING** We will be discussing purity culture, referencing rape culture briefly as it is correlated to purity culture, and discussing the impact of distorted body image & body dysmorphia.
