hi everyone :)
i joined this site a week or so ago. i came out as trans (male) in 2013, started testosterone in february 2016 and had top surgery on friday the 15th of february, 2019 :) it's been such a long journey. the vast majority of my friends have been incredibly supportive, but some other people in my life have not been so great. my parents have changed so much over the past five or six years. at first they didn't accept me at all, but after seeing how my mental health started improving as i started living as male and then medically transitioning, they realised that this would actually make me happier. they are now so supportive that they helped me pay for surgery and my mom is trying to advocate for gender diverse people at the school where she works.
it is such a relief to have had surgery. my very first thought upon waking up was to check my chest and make sure it was flat. the second thought was to look at the clock and worry that i had spent longer in theatre and would be charged more than the quote i had been given ;D i stayed one night in hospital and am staying with my parents for a while, still have drains.
