thank you so much for posting this and your vulnerability. i completely relate to everything you’ve said. peace and blessings to you ✨💛

I resonated with all of your thoughts! It’s comforting to know that there are other people that share the complexity & layered feelings that come with top surgery. I’m looking forward to having a flat chest, but like you said, there’s a lot of fear & internalized transphobia to deal with. Then I feel guilt because I’m like, if I really wanted this procedure, I would only feel confidence & excitement about it…but like…change can be hard. Even if it’s right for you. Anyway, I’m still waiting on a scheduled date for my surgery, but I’m sending you safety during yours 🤍

This was such a helpful and validating video! I'm having surgery in the spring and listening to you talk about and work through the same concerns that I personally have means so much. It made me feel...not alone. Thank you❤

Thank you for sharing where you’re heads at with honesty. Major surgery is a big scary deal even if you do want it. I resonated a lot with your worries about future parenting and what may look like. In the end, your body should feel like home, however that is, and when you get to a place where it does, life only blooms from there. Best of luck on your surgery 🧡

Sending you good vibes and good will.. I hope everything goes well for you. I totally understand the fears and the complex emotions that you are going through and I hardly hear this perspective on surgery and the anxiety around it.. I'm really grateful Being on the waiting list is hard and I'm thinking ahead of myself so I don't know how intense these emotions will be..

This is something I've really really been struggling with, thank you for talking about it and validating these feelings.

As a black non-binary trans masc person who is currently living with homophobic transphobic religious parents I would love to hear how u deal with unsupportive parents and how u are navigating those feelings. I have not come out to them but I plan on starting my transition when I move out. I fear their disappointment and also losing them as well. It’s a lot and it’s something that is always on my mind. Luckily I have my gf who is the first and only person I have come out to, she is really all I have. The only one who knows me for who I am truly and loves me and supports me no matter what. I already to decided to live my truth and be happy no matter what but ik it’s easier said than done. I love your video please keep bringing up these topic they are so helpful and there isn’t enough content out there like it. So thank u!

i'm so sorry your familly is not supportive. I just wanted to say, you seem like a good person and i've happened to see a few of your videos lately and they feel good, even when you're talking about your "negative" emotions, it's inspiring to watch you process them. I also looked at your small post-op video and i just wanted to congratulate you on doing it, even tho you had fears and anxiety, you knew what you needed to do for you and that's admirable. I hope your recovery goes well
