In this hypothetical, the prosthetics are detachable, able to easily be modified or repaired, even customized for visual or fucntional preferences.
Getting them is about as safe as any other major surgery; certain amount of risk, yadda yadda. There's more details that would sway an answer, if this were something currently going on -- like the cost, can you sub out these prosthetics if they ever halt production, do you need medication to retain them, blah blah-- but, here? This is wish fulfillment. If you have something that hurts, or you wish you could just fix or swap out, you get to have it, just this once.

it’s weird how much lighter my life feels now. not that i don’t have any issues (because there are many in my life, as i am sure there are in yours), but they’re just so much more manageable than they were a year ago.
what’s more; i love myself now. i may not be perfect. but i am trying my best, and i can tell that i am! i see myself in the mirror, and sometimes i just examine myself, and my features, and i smile. i feel so much more authentic when talking to people, not worrying about how they view me, because i don’t have to anymore. i wish i could’ve told 15-year old me just how good it’s gotten so far, i know that he would’ve loved hearing about the shitty sideburns we’re growing out right now :’)

Your trans Alec fic is so good, makes me wish I could be a trans guy so badly….. like to just be a guy with a nice voice and good hair lol. I know it’s like not chill to appropriate identity but I’m with Aisha on that one, if cis people could get top surgery I would get it SO fast
oh buddy 😭... Well i'm the person to break this to you i guess. wanting to be trans is in fact a top all-time sign of being trans! and furthermore: you can be a trans guy if you want. you can do that. you're allowed. you don't need my permission, or anyone's permission, but permission granted to do whatever the fuck you want all of the time forever. go be a guy with a nice voice and good hair. nobody can stop you. the only qualification you have to meet to do that is wanting to do that! that's not appropriation it's just having a gender.

The whole thing of like, if you come out later in life you're going to go through a phase of being a teenager again is so true and I feel like I'm currently doing that. Like I came out as trans to my mom at 28 and started testosterone 6 months later, and I'm hopefully getting top surgery a month before my 30th birthday, and like. I'm watching Love, Victor (pirated, no money going to Dsiney) at the moment and getting so so emotional about it.
Like the episode where Victor goes to New York and meets a bunch of college-age queers and goes to his first gay night club got me SO emotional. I didn't really have a very exciting teenage or college experience - I really spent most of that time doing art. And I guess my queer experience is different in being (probably) autistic and (almost definitely) ace, so I don't actually think I WANT to go to gay clubs and that kinda stuff, but I also just have this FOMO that I've missed out on this kind of thing, and I want to experience it as like my true self, as a trans masc. But also like, I have to actually make queer friends to do that kinda stuff with and that's definitely the hardest part.

I hate getting so angry upon seeing a thin person come out and get top surgery and t within like a year or 2 of coming out. Like. Totally not their fault, really happy for them, mad at the system that prevents anyone over 150lbs from getting access to gender affirming care
