(me on a first date) and what do you think of the inherent intimacy of surgery? have you considered the love someone must have to put their hands under your skin and hold the most grotesque parts of you and put them back together nicely? is anyone really closer to you than that? we all get uh a little enamored on the surgery table don't we haha. wait come back

when cis people talk about my pre-trans self its he/him and my name. when i talk about my pre-trans self she's a young girl and i killed her and dug her grave with my bare hands and one day i will lie down with her again and our bones will intertwine. you understand

officially identifying as some guy. you wouldn't try to gender just a random guy, would you? i'm literally just some guy. unbothered. serene. living my life. what's gender got to do with it? nothing! just let a guy live!

"nonbinary ppl are trans/included under the trans umbrella" "actually, nonbinary ppl prefer to not be referred to as trans" hey did you guys know that all nonbinary ppl are different and that some might call themselves trans but others don't and neither experience trumps the other and both are true and valid? wild, i know

"When people talk about gender-affirming surgery using words like “mutilation,” that's not very nice. Is that how you think about people who've had surgery for other things? It's a disgust reaction, and I do not take disgust into account as a legitimate point of discourse. I don't have to entertain it and I'm not going to. It's a waste of everybody's time, it's knee-jerk, it's not grounded in reality, and it's not useful. And it's a squeamishness about medical intervention. I think the idea of making legislative or cultural decisions in and around [that] is laughable. Your squeamishness is not what the world turns on; it doesn't matter."

thinking of girl/woman and boy/man as different genders actually makes so many trans experiences make SO much more sense. like, the trouble for me very much showed up in the transition from ‘little girl’ to ‘young woman.’ I was always ok with the former- it was the latter I couldn’t get comfortable in

[im-a-goddamn-cat]

sometimes it really feels like neutral ppl, androgynous ppl, and/or ppl who're not men or women in any way aren't welcome or included in trans spaces. everyone talks about things in terms of transmasc and transfem completely leaving out terms like transneutral, and associates medical transition with the binary genders. ppl constantly leave out non-aligned nb ppl when talking about trans stuff and medical transition and even when they are included, it seems like it's implied that everyone is either transmasc or transfem or that nb ppl who medically transition must be men or women in some way. it really feels like just the same old gender binary but trans man and trans woman inclusive. not everyone is transmasc or transfem, and not everyone who wants to medically transition in some way is a man or a woman and i really wish some ppl would realize that.

A new study published online in the journal JAMA Surgery on August 9 surveyed 139 participants, all of whom had gender-affirming mastectomies at the University of Michigan between January 1, 1990, and February 29, 2020. Researchers found that the median satisfaction rate among respondents was five on a scale of 1 to 5 (the higher the number, the greater the satisfaction, the study explains), and that their medium regret score was 0 on a 100-point scale (again, the lower the number, the lower the regret). In other words, the overwhelming majority of respondents were highly satisfied and regret was vanishingly rare. In all, the study’s findings indicate low patient-reported long-term rates of regret and high satisfaction with the decision to undergo gender-affirming mastectomy.
