FLAT is where it's at

This is a podcast for and about flatties. None of us said, "Man, I wish someone would cut my boobs off.", but since cancer came along and we didn't want foreign objects shoved into our chest cavities, we find ourselves livin' the flat life. Or, maybe we DID choose implants and found pain and disease there, so had them removed and we're livin' flat now. Or, maybe we found that we had a gene that made us very likely to get cancer, so we preemptively had our breasts removed. Some of us had a unilateral mastectomy and chose to remain flat on one side.  However we got here, we find that being flat comes along with very specific problems, weird situations, and wonderful freedoms. Here we discuss them all. (That said, I do have trans friends who HAVE wanted their boobs cut off, but different circumstances, different situations.) If you are flat and feeling alone, you can find support on facebook. The groups Flat and Fabulous, My Flat Friends, and Flatties Unite offer a huge group of supportive sisters. They have helped me tremendously. Also, GREAT resources for information and support for going flat can be found at https://notputtingonashirt.org/ and at https://www.flatclosurenow.org/

Non-flatties are welcome, too! We NEED the general population to understand our situation. You can also find FLAT is where it's at on instagram. Thanks for comin' by! And to learn more about me, you can visit stephanieastalos-jones.com

Re-visiting Kimberly Bowles

Feb 19, 2020

Kim talked about the private group on FB, Mepitel Film For Mastectomy- Support. 

You simply need to ask to join. She just wants to make sure you are not a provider. All folks interested in learning more about it are welcome. Much of what else Kim talked about can be found at her site Not Putting On A Shirt.

She also specifically named Flat and Fabulous, Breastless and Beautiful, Fabulously Flat, and Fierce, Flat, Forward (for explanters). I'd also add Flatties Unite and My Flat Friends.

Now, here are some lovely pics of Kim. Here's one from the Cosmo article taken by Stephanie Strasburg.

 

 

And here's one taken by Charise Isis for the Grace Project.
