Thank you! I'm so glad this is helpful. I definitely have had times of feeling invalid in my identity as well. The good news is, as I'm sure you know, you don't need HRT to get top surgery! Do whatever feels right to you and screw what other people think.

I th I ughti was the only one thinking this exact thought

I know one trans man who don’t wanna have testosterone he’s German and his name is Luca Finn check him out he’s cool

I'm glad this was helpful! Good luck with the rest of your recovery!!

Yay! Happy coming out to yourself!! Best of luck on your journey.

Yay, I'm so glad it helps! Good luck with your journey!

Hey Maia! Yay! I don't remember specifically but I don't think I started working out my chest for at least three months after surgery. I started biking regularly 1-2 months out. It just depends how you feel I think, because I went super easy on myself and tried not to push it.

Thank you! Good luck with your process! I told Aaron about your comment and he was happy :) maybe I'll have him back on soon but the pandemic and our work schedules are making that difficult.

The Queer Nerd yeah these times are crazy! Yay to Aaron being a guest on your channel haha!

Thank you!

So glad to have helped! I was in your exact position a couple years ago.

Awesome, I love Maine :)

Cool cool! I can get to work on it :)

Thank you! About $3000 with insurance.

hey dude, fyi it can be super damaging to your ribs and chest tissue to bind with bandages, so if you're unable to get a proper binder right now, I'd suggest trying to find some good tight sports bras instead. I hope that you can be safely out soon!

Hey, I agree with Maia - sports bras are way safer even though they suck sometimes. Bandages are pretty dangerous and also way less comfortable. Someday you will be able to get the care you need! Until then, stay strong and good luck.

I don't have any information- anyone else have ideas? Good luck

It in Europe but Thailand is amazing I’ve heard.

Not formally, but I definitely have some control over my voice that I've developed over the years.

My family has been very supportive! At the very beginning, they didn't know anything about non-binary people so it took a lot of educating. But I was very lucky that they were always open to learn and loved me along the way. The whole process of me coming out, changing my name, having top surgery, and eventually taking testosterone unfolded over 5+ years and we had many conversations along the way about what I needed and why. Now my parents in particular have become great allies, even talking to people at their workplaces about trans inclusion. So my biggest piece of advice would be to be patient with family, though it can be really hard sometimes!

Nope! Zero T
