I’m getting my hysto this Friday (yay!! Yippee!!) but it seems like my family doesn’t feel the same as I do. They’re willing to support me physically and help with recovery, but no one seems to care that this is one of the most happiest moments of my life

It was the same when I got top surgery; I got no congratulations or celebration to finally experience happiness or freedom for the first time ever. My family knows how terrible my dysphoria’s been since I was a young child, but seeing my suffering being relieved just isn’t riveting, I guess.

I’m really sorry that sound so shitty☹️ You deserve to have people celebrate those things with you. They’re big milestones. And congrats also that sounds awesome🥳

I don’t have your exact situation but I know what it’s like to have a major milestone and no one celebrate with you really. I don’t wanna tell my family I’m trans (long story) so when I started hrt it just kinda felt like any old Tuesday and it sucked. I have a hard time getting excited about this kinda stuff on my own too so I couldn’t even rlly celebrate on my own.
