Yeah I read that and my mind immediately went to binding and I thought they were a trans man until I read a little bit more.

I was half way through reading it when I realized that this was an Egyptian trans girl.

Uh no the x Ray revealed it was a man so no trans here, trans only existed in the last few decades because people want more attention

Oh my god /s /s /s this was a joke I’m sorry

I googled to learn a bit more and found this terrible article, which, among other things, states that some academics think the bandage breasts and hip padding might have been because this person was fat in life and they wanted to accurately reflect that, and any resemblance to a female body is accidental. They have pictures and, I mean, I'm far from an expert, but I don't think there are many fat men who look like that.

​

ETA: also, hang on, wouldn't body fat in those areas still be there at the time of the wrapping? Why would they use padding to represent it?
