  • I think it’s safe to say that the doctors who perform such procedures inform their patients about all the possible consequences of the surgery. I also think the patients do quite a bit of research on their own.

    If you really want to convince others of this, then I think you would need to (possibly) get a medical degree, gather lots of data and then write a medical research paper. However, I don’t think that’s what you want.

    Why do you feel a need to dissuade others from having such surgeries? Why not live and let live? To each his/her/hir/xem/[your favourite pronoun] own?



  • I’m also questioning / exploring my gender. The only method that makes sense to me is to try to take small steps / experiment away from my agab and see what I think of them. Creating a 100 % perfect proof of my transness from imperfect recollections and biased hindsight seems like the wrong approach.

    One existentialist article that resonated with me argued that ultimately, being trans is a choice and we can’t be sure before we try. We can make wrong choices and that’s okay, too.

    How would you feel about trying out a non binary identity and see where that takes you?
