you can be a guy that has titties and be valid. you can be nonbinary and be valid. you can be a detransitioner and just be a masculine woman and be valid. sure, some might disagree, but that's their issue, not yours.

it may serve to explore little ways of modifying your appearance. even after i'd decided to start t (which did not in any way mean i was sure i was trans, lol) i didn't know how to feel about my chest. i took small steps in trying out a binder, and that helped me get more comfortable with the uncertainty around my body.

Totally understandable. After working out I’ll see myself in the mirror and be like “oh dang I look kinda cool” but it’s not really a big feeling of “bang this is who I am 😤.” I feel like appreciation and sense of self identity can still be different yk, idk if you feel the same.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone with my body type post-top surgery (probably just haven’t looked hard enough, but it’s a slightly chubby hourglass) so I’m not sure how it’d look on me and if I get it and don’t like it, there’s no going back to exactly how it was before. Still plan to start t at some point soon, but yeah my chest has been a-

Hi so turns out I absolutely did not look hard enough for post op people with my body type lmao because after just searching “top surgery” in google images, I found someone who was very similar to me. Also, I remembered I can draw, so I used that and myself in the mirror as reference and drew this. Comparing me and the drawing makes me feel like top surgery might be the right route, but I’m gonna see how I feel tomorrow
