You look great! Thanks for sharing. I would love to hear more about your feelings surrounding being non binary. I am older, but very accepting! I have only one other NB person in my life, and I am not comfortable asking them questions. I know you can only speak to your experience. Please share if you want. Thanks.
Hi! I identify (and always have) as nonbinary because growing up I felt like my body should be more guy-like even though I was born female. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't imagine myself as a man or a woman. I am happy being neither completely male nor female physically and having people close to me use gender-neutral language for me. I had dysphoria about certain parts of my body and how people perceived me. After medically and socially transitioning how I wanted, I don't feel any gender dysphoria over who I am. It is important to know that there is a lot of diversity throughout nonbinary people's experiences. Some people feel very dysphoric about their bodies. At the same time, some are only uncomfortable being perceived and expressing themselves as the gender they were born as and want to focus on social transitioning. This can be considered "gender non conforming" instead of nonbinary, but some prefer to use this label to define their gender. It can be hard to ask questions, but I really do recommend trying to better understand the person you know by first asking if they are comfortable sharing more about their experience so you can better understand and support them. As long as you have not been against who they are, I'm sure they will be happy to hear you care.
@@wolfibird Curious as to who told you, or encouraged you to feel that gender non conformity is something that should be medicalized? You think you're unique in not feeling that your body didn't match how you feel in your mind? Ask any old person. Every single one of us look in the mirror every day and wonder where the hell is that 25 year old person that should be staring back at us. It's the human condition. Life is much easier if we just accept ourselves the way we were born.
It looks good I could not do that I did not even bother to ask. I got the double incision. My skin and everything was stretched from many years of binding. I was not big but it was all stretched too much. They did a good job on me. I grow lots of hair so that covers it some.
Thank you, i appreciate this very much! This was definitely helpful. I think keyhole would work well for me, so i will discuss it with my surgeon and see if he agrees.
Thanks!!! I am so stoked for my first summer post op. I feel like I really get to start living and summer has been a season I have dreaded in the past, but now I'm loving it. Swimming and tanktops are great.
I have always been uncomfortable with having tissue on my chest because it felt wrong for my body, and it impacted the way others could see me. Before I developed a chest, I knew I wanted a flat chest forever. I tried to hide it and find ways to make it go away since I was 10 years old, and when I came out as nonbinary, I began using chest binders and tape to make my chest flat. Even with these resources, I was restricted in my life because of my chest, which I did not want. Swimming, working out, and spending time with other people was hard. I knew I wanted top surgery since I found out that it existed when I was 12. I did a ton of research so I would be aware of the process and the long-term healing. When I finally got it, I was instantly relieved of all the anxiety and dislike for my body. It was like day and night for me to no longer have something on my body that hurt me for so long. Now that I am healed, I am so happy and more confident in myself and my gender identity because I look at myself and see who I want to see.
helloo. just saw your other videos and i wanted to ask if you're still on a low dose of t? if that's the case, are you taking it plus the female hormone blockers? i would beyond appreciate a video on your medical transition regarding the hormone therapy you've been going under. i actually went last year to a doctor and asked her about the posibility of a low t hrt but she shut me off inmediatly. she told me the changes are exactly the same as if i were on a regular dose, except for the fact that they would come more slowly. it was really sad and distressing hearing it from a dr i built up months of courage to go to. listening to your transition in this regard would be really really helpful. saludos desde Chile :)
hi! I can make a video explaining! Long story short, my dose of T is kind of "medium," meaning I could go up if I wanted to have more facial hair and whatnot, but my levels are high enough to keep my T levels in the male range, meaning I will have male-like characteristics. I've been on it for almost 3 years, so I pretty much have the hormone levels of a guy but with a little bit more estrogen. I am no longer taking estrogen blockers because it is not great long-term for bone density. If I wanted, I could be on a lower dose where my t levels are not as high, but I am not on anything to stop my period, so I am afraid that would be an issue if I lowered it. And I am happy where I am at :) I am so sorry you had that experience with a doctor. Some people are not as accepting of non-binary transitions and experiences. Microdose T is possible, and you can stop whenever you want. I will plan on recording a video regarding my hormones today or tomorrow.

Okay :) you can have whatever beliefs you want. Personally I believe that if intersex people exist, it can be possible to have an intersex internal sense of gender. I’d love for there to be more research on this subject.
You look terrific. That’s the best surgery results I have ever seen. Best of luck to you. 👍👍💯
Wow thanks! I’m very grateful for my chest and my body. I appreciate the support!
i really appreciate u sharing ur progress its nice to see another person my age talking about a top surgery experience
Aww of course! That is why I am putting myself out there. I wish I could find other my age when I was doing research.
Looks great! Happy for you 🎉🥳✨👍
Thank you!!
Super cute Jess. Looking great! Also, I love your curly hair.😊
Thank you :)

I’m glad it helped! Definitely talk to your surgeon because they know best what they can do for each individual. Good luck!
@@wolfibird Thanks!
Looks great !❤

How did this change in your body make you feel more NB?
I have always been uncomfortable with having tissue on my chest because it felt wrong for my body, and it impacted the way others could see me.

How much is your top surgery for keyhole?
Cost wise?
No one can be non binary. Everyone exsists in the binary.

Binaries are for computers not people
Just wow , so cute and you result is beautiful⚧
Thank you!
