I see so many well intentioned women talking about how modesty is important when it comes to men's objectification of them. Like, they will condemn men's lust, but say, "but we have to do our part too." I just need you guys to understand that there is literally no amount of clothing you can wear to keep men from sexualizing you. It sucks, but it's true.

I dress very modestly by the typical conservative Christian standard... Loose clothing, long dresses/skirts, nothing low cut, etc. Usually the only skin I expose is my forearms, neck, and face... But I am not exempt from being sexualized. I can't tell you how many times I've heard stuff like, "it's so hot when women leave things up to the imagination" and "I love your librarian/teacher vibe, it's so sexy." Men sexualize nuns and muslim women, who are completely covered. No woman is exempt from this.

Why is this important? So you can stop blaming yourself for men treating you like sexual potential instead of a person and hold men accountable for their own willful inability to control themselves.

To the Christian women, you are not responsible for men choosing to lust after you. Lust is a choice. I am same-sex attracted, and when I find myself attracted to a woman, I simply choose not to fantasize and lust after her. Men are capable of the same, they just like to shift blame.

As a Christian, I dress modestly as an act of humility more than anything else, but I know there is nothing I can do to control the sinful actions of men. Please stop blaming yourselves.

So modesty is now something that I admire and it took forever bc as women, we’re often taught that showing our bodies off and wearing provocative clothing is “eMpOwErMeNt”. When in reality is just another way men get to get a view without having to commit, surpass our standards, and treat us with respect. When you think abt it, the world only encourage women to dress this way and if you do the opposite then you’re a “prude”, “a slave to religion” or even “that you’re insecure”

It’s sickening 🤮

Modesty is a beautiful thing.

Modesty is sexy.

Modesty is how you treat others.

Modesty is your mindset.

Modesty is your speech choices.

Modesty is your clothing choices.

Modesty is even how you treat yourself.

Biblical modesty is beautiful.

Men should be modest too.

Modesty isn’t boring.

You are much more than the skin you choose to show.

Don’t let others tell you ladies otherwise 🩷🤝🏾

Luv y’all 🫶🏾🫶🏾

I've been thinking about modesty from a specifically trans lense lately. I was taught that modesty indicates shame, that modesty means you're simultaneously ashamed of being human and having a human body, but also that you are "purer" because you adhere to a hegemonic idea of modesty. Frankly, I just don't agree with this, and it was very much steeped in the idea of specifically christian ideas of modesty.

Before I transitioned, I felt very unprotective of my body because it never felt like mine to begin with. I didn't really care what happened to it, and while I was modest by other people's standards, I certainly didn't feel it. Once I actually started transitioning (and especially on testosterone), I've found that I'm so much more "modest" because I've become protective of my body. There's this stereotype that trans people start "showing themselves off" after transitioning, but I honestly feel the opposite. I'm possessive over my body and exactly how it acts and appears because I actually like my body, and it finally feels like mine. I'm honestly kind of selfish about it, and I think I've earned the right to be.

I made this post because I think this is an interesting topic, and I think it's interesting the ways in which we internalize the influences that be. It's also a reminder that no matter how you feel about things like modesty, you should adhere to what makes the most sense to you and what you are most comfortable with. There are pressures to be modest in this way or that way, but what truly matters is what you decide with your body and yourself.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #modesty #like i was looking into swim pants to wear under my swim trunks because i don't want people to be able to see my legs for example #like... they're MY legs not yours. get your own legs dammit 😡 (joking)#and i found i have no shame about myself since being more 'modest' because i do it out of self-admiration #and personally i have no ties to the hegemonic christian sense of modesty and what i was taught living in a *heavily* christian area #that's not to say i have an issue with christians and what they feel is modest but it's more specifically the shame surrounding modesty #the idea that being modest indicates that you're a 'better person' than those who sin (wearing short shorts or swearing)#that's not inherent to the religion from what i understand but i don't agree with it personally #and i do not believe that modesty (or lack thereof) is an indication of ANYTHING about a person #it doesn't tell you anything about their personality or their interests or what they think #it only tells you how they feel most comfortable existing or behaving and even then you often won't know the complexities of that comfort #i have an issue with the ideas about modesty but i use the word because it is easily understood and it is the language i have available #if there's a better term or word for sure let me know but i haven't been made aware of it 👍#ANYWAY. i just think it's interesting #and if you're experiences are different from mine i genuinely respect you for it and platonically love you #and i hope you feel beautiful/gorgeous/handsome/cool and i hope you are comfortable <3

What does the Bible say about dressing modestly, and in a God honoring way?

Well well well, if it isn't me, breaking Christian hearts. I've done it a lot (while being pagan, while being atheist, and now being Christian).

My problem, is that SOO many tradwives on here put looking amazing as their top priority, while calling themselves Christian. Girlies, imma be honest with you. You're full of shit.

I recently saw a post on how to dress nice as a housewife, and omg, literally the first line was to wear accessories.

First of all, it literally say in 1Timothy 2:9-10:

"Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works."

So, HOW to be modest?

A pretty simple question, yet still hard to answer.

1. Be gentle

2. Help people

3. Fear God

4. Be quite ("quick to listen, slow to speak" James 1:19)

(Most of the rules you need to follow, you can find in James' book!)

"Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."

1Peter 3:3-4

Also, a common misconception I see:

"Dressing modestly for you husband"

No!?!!!? You should dress modestly for GOD. If you're not married, you're in a relationship, OR you are married, your husband is not the one you should be dressing modestly for! It's God!

Dressing modestly is a way to honor God. Covering up is a way to show respect to him.

“...I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly...” 1 Timothy. 2:9.

Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent. Proverbs 7:10

The woman in this verse was associated with the clothes that she wore just like we are. Some people think it doesn't matter what you wear because people should look at the heart and not your clothes. Face it. Only God looks at the heart. Man is always going to look at the outward appearance. But we are to be careful in this area. You don't want to hinder the cause of Christ by what you wear.

There's a fine line between proper dress and dressing to be the centre of attention? The answer lies in the intent of the heart. A woman should examine her motives for the way she dresses. Is it to call attention to herself, and flaunt her beauty? A woman who focuses on worshiping God will consider carefully how she is dressed, because her heart will dictate her wardrobe and appearance.”

Does true modesty mean drab, shapeless, unfeminine clothes that make us extremely unattractive. Never! God loves beauty. He created beauty. As Christ’s children, we are free to delight in the beauty He gave us and enjoy colour, texture and creativity. Scripture doesn't condemn elegance. Modesty is dressing in a way that is beautiful, elegant and glorifies the Creator.

inspired by a post from @amagdalenewitch (link to post), here's some examples of veiling styles which are more discreet. Not everyone can veil openly and safely, for many reasons, so I hope these help.

I'd encourage you to look these up yourself to see forms of styling and tutorials on how to make or style them, if you're curious. also, none of these photos are mine!

-> bandanas

[ ID 1: Photo of a person with long, straight, brown hair with blonde streaks wearing a red bandana with white flowers on their head. They face away from the camera. /End ID ]

[ ID 2: Photo of a person with long, coily, black hair and dark skin wearing a black and white bandana on their head. They face right. /End ID ]

• coverage level: medium-high

• varies a lot on the style, bandana size and hair length

• works for a variety of hair textures

-> headbands

[ ID 1: Photo of a person with medium length, coily, black hair and dark skin, wearing a red and white twisted, fabric headband around their head. They face forward. /End ID ]

[ ID 2: Photo of a person with medium length, wavy, blonde hair and pale skin wearing a white crochet headband with dark blue flowers on it. They face right. /End ID ]

• coverage level: low-medium

• varies a lot on the style, bandana size and hair length

• works for a variety of hair textures

-> balaclavas

[ ID 1: A person with light skin wearing a brown knitted balaclava, covering their entire head and most of their face. They face forward, tilting their head slightly. /End ID ]

[ ID 2: A person with blonde, wavy hair and light skin wearing a yellow and blue knitted balaclava, covering their head. They face left. /End ID ]

• coverage level: high

• varies in material and style

• works for a variety of hair textures, but may need adjustments

• works better for colder seasons and environments

-> beanies

[ ID 1: Photo of a person with long, straight, dark hair and light-medium tone skin wearing a gray beanie, looking to the right. /End ID ]

[ ID 2: Photo of a person with long, curly, brown hair and medium tone skin wearing a knitted dark gray beanie. They face right. /End ID ]

• coverage level: medium-high

• varies a lot on the style, beanie size or thickness and hair length

• works for a variety of hair textures, but may need adjustments

• works better for colder seasons or environments

-> tips:

• many types of hats can also work and are very discreet, tho they don't always offer good coverage

• hoodies are also very discreet and are a good option if you need to cover yourself quickly as well

• you can combine different types of veiling for more coverage, like using a headband or bandana underneath a hat or hoodie, etc

• veil in the way that's most comfortable to you, but remember to keep yourself safe as well

• different materials and sizes can offer different results, keep experimenting if something doesn't work for you

My body is me.

It’s not a temporary home or a vehicle.

It’s not just a lump of flesh animated by my spirit like an old sock puppet animated by a hand.

It’s not an enemy to be fought, a temptation to be conquered, a shameful thing to be covered up.

It’s not God’s temple, it’s not his creation, it’s not his generous gift or a loan. He doesn’t get credit for making it, he doesn’t have any say in what I do with it, he doesn’t own it. He doesn’t own me.

My body is mine. My body is me.
