  • After two months, my gender-affirming surgery couldn't be going any better. Top surgery looks phenomenal, and bottom surgery works like it was built in! I'm very pleased with my results!

      Just can’t help yourself… that impulse to be cruel is so much a part of who you are that it just vomits forth. How silly you seem.

      @sineadiloveyou - while I won't chastise you to the extent @serafinjazz does, I do wonder why you'd click on a title and thumbnail that so clearly depict a transgender journey. What fascinates you about me? Is this something you want to understand...or embark on? Is your cruelty only a thinly-veiled cry for help?
      I hope you'll Subscribe and learn. There is more to the human experience than social expectations. As a woman, I would think that resonated with you.

      I probably agree with your sentiment, but, now that his person has went through with it, why be hateful? >I will certainly abide by her pronouns. We all know no one can make a penis into a vag, so it's just cruel that these folks are abused by the medical establishment.

      @bunjijumper5345 - first, thank you for being respectful of my identity. I appreciate you.
      Your second point - I was in no way abused by the medical establishment. While I certainly believe the way Western medicine pathologizes typical human experiences undermines our ability to explore who we are, I've made every decision regarding gender-affirming care on my own. I'm a scientist; I do my research, and I make very well-informed decisions.
      That's part of why I'm here making videos - to help educate others who might not know how best to make decisions for themselves. 💜

    There is NO drug or surgery in the galaxy that can change a human's sex. Do it for YOURSELF, sharing is at your own risk. What did you expect from putting yourself out here?

      If you read the 150+ articles I've written, listened to the 100+ podcasts I've recorded, and watched the 200+ videos I've filmed about identity and gender, you'll find I never claim to have changed sex. My educational background is biology, especially genetics. I completed a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry. My video "Sex vs Gender" (linked below) explains the difference between sex and gender. I recommend you check it out.

      That said, what makes you think I consider myself immune from criticism? I, at least, have the scientific wherewithal to back up what I say. If you'd like to have a conversation, I'm willing to do that. But I expect you to moderate your tone when you address me. I'm putting myself out there, but I don't submit to being abused.

    We all wonder if we need bigger breasts at one time or another. Go by how they feel, to the touch. Ive found that my body feels nicer to the touch, than in the mirror. But Im 68.

    • @amethystaherrick
      @amethystaherrick  6 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Wow...this was a stupendous way to consider myself. I agree - the feel is far more important than how my brain responds to my sight of myself. It's so much more obvious to use the sense least filtered.
      Thank you so much. I learned a very good lesson today. 💜💜💜

      There you sit, at your keyboard, desperate to lash out at anything you can. You reach for the darkest words, trying to cause the most hurt… a predator driven by cruelty. What a waste of time and energy.

      Yes, they failed me by assuming social expectations are all there is to fulfill as opposed to accepting the human experience colors outside the lines.
      I hope you'll learn someday that life is not black and white. Based on your TH-cam handle, I would have guessed somebody who enjoys both fantasy and superheroes could see beyond the obvious. Maybe you'll Subscribe to my channel and get to learning.

      I know you know this is not a mental illness because you would not be so cruel with someone with mental illness. You would not insult someone for being schizophrenic but you will attack trans people because it freaks out your mindset.

      I'm pretty sure no revisions will be necessary...? I have the sense my experience peeing is the same as any other woman's, but that's why I wanted to find a gynecologist around the three-month mark. I just like to make sure!
      That said...I do NOT want to focus on something as minor as that one revision when I feel a sense of freedom and integration I've never felt before. This is truly amazing. I am truly blessed. 💜🏳️‍⚧️💜
