The 'Bad Guy' singer used to wear baggy clothes because she 'wasn't strong enough' to show her body and any negative comments would have destroyed her back then.

AceShowbiz - Billie Eilish doesn't feel "like a woman." The 21-year-old Grammy winner has claimed she doesn't feel "feminine" or "desirable" and has to train her brain to believe she is a "pretty girl."
"I've never felt like a woman, to be honest with you. I've never felt desirable. I've never felt feminine. I have to convince myself that I'm, like, a pretty girl. I identify as 'she/her' and things like that, but I've never really felt like a girl," she said in a candid interview for the Power of Women issue of Variety.
The "Your Power" singer became known for wearing baggy clothes and hated it when people suddenly "sexualised" her when she showed off some skin. She said, "I wasn't trying to have people not sexualise me. But I didn't want people to have access to my body, even visually."
"I wasn't strong enough and secure enough to show it. If I had shown it at that time, I would have been completely devastated if people had said anything. Maybe my not really caring about being sexualised is because I've never felt desired or desirable."
She continued, "I have big boobs. I've had big boobs since I was nine years old, and that's just the way I am. That's how I look. You wear something that's at all revealing, and everyone's like, 'Oh, but you didn't want people to sexualise you?' You can suck my a**! I'm literally a being that is sexual sometimes. F*** you!"
The "Bad Guy" hitmaker added that it's a one-sided thing as women don't comment on men's bodies in the same way. She said, "Nobody ever says a thing about men's bodies. If you're muscular, cool. If you're not, cool. If you're rail thin, cool. If you have a dad bod, cool. If you're pudgy, love it! Everybody's happy with it. You know why? Because girls are nice. They don't give a f*** because we see people for who they are!"
