Title: Dr. Fischer and a Genderqueer/non-binary ID'd individual getting top surgery?
Post by: Zerro on September 10, 2011, 08:48:42 PM
Hey there guys, I'm Charlie. :) I hope that this isn't too odd a question, but I'm non-binary identified and ever since I can remember, I've never wanted my, ah, excess chest tissue. I've always wanted them removed, and bind on a regular basis when I'm out of the house, but I've always found it hard to find stories of non-binary identified folks getting top surgery. :( I know it's not quite a common thing, but surely someone out there can help me out? I've researched surgeons online, and because I like the way her DI looks(not to mention the fact that I live not too far off from her), I'd like to go to Dr. Fischer for my surgery.

But I have a few questions:
-Have any of you had DI with her before?
-If so, can you share your experience with me? I've never had surgery before, and the prospect is terrifying, so any reassurance that I can get will be helpful.
-Would she be willing to take on a genderqueer client?
-As of this past year, how much has double incision cost from her?
-I don't see top surgery on her website, but is there a way I can get a consultation/how much do consultations cost from her?
-Are there any stories about genderqueer/androgyne/non-binary identified people getting top surgery?
-I don't really want nipples, I have no sensation/care for mine, so can Dr. Fischer just leave them off?

I'm sorry for all the questions, but I really want to be sure of myself when the time comes for me to pick a surgeon for sure and get the procedure done.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help. :)

I dont know much about this topic so I cant really help but I do think gender-queers can have top surgery,
I guess its harder to be gender-queer than ftm cause some place only do top surgery if you have been on T or are proved transexual and so on,
but sure nothing is imposible, it just to find the right place.
