Phalloplasty..

The mental toll this surgery takes on you is beyond anything I have ever experienced….everyday is so hard, from waking up in the morning to trying to sleep at night. There’s not one second in my day’s for the last month that I have felt comfortable, painless, or even feel like myself. Saying that, there is still not one second that I regret this. Sitting naked on the same chair everyday while your body tries to heal itself and tackle the complications is torture. With past surgeries everyday I would get better and better, but not this one. As days go by since I have left the hospital complications have popped up, and scary situations have occurred, it is so easy to tell someone to stay positive. But I will admit that I am struggling, I’m struggling staring at the hole in my skin with large amounts of fibrin and blood, I’m struggling staring at my arm which no longer looks like my arm at all, I’m struggling praying everyday that the small amounts of necrosis doesn’t spread. I’m struggling. PLEASE if you know someone going through this surgery, I promise they need you. They need friends, they need family, they need your full support without ignorance. Nobody chooses this, this is not fun, I hate that I have to put myself through this, I hate that I wasn’t just born in the right body, and for a long time I HATED myself…and even though I am struggling…I am finally who I was suppose to be, and under all the pain, stress, and worrying..I am happy. And for the first time in my whole 22 years on this earth…I am me.

Stand beside your trans friends, because even though they are some of the toughest people you will ever meet, they sometimes need an extra hug, hand, or even a nice text checking in.

And if you are one of those who “just don’t understand” well educate yourself, just like you do with anything else you don’t understand. It’s not hard, and if you refuse to educate yourself just because you’re afraid you might have a little less hate in your heart, then you’re an idiot.

This is so cute!

Soooo adorable

You’re able to call your parents “Mom” and “Dad”. They were not born with those names.

You’re able to call your teachers “Mr” or “Mrs” and their last name. You’d get in trouble if you addressed them by first name.

You’re able to call a celebrity by their chosen stage name.

You’re able to call your friends a shortened version of their name, their middle name instead of their first, or a completely random nickname.

You’re able to call a married woman by her husband’s last name, even though she was not born with that last name.

But when someone’s transgender, how does calling them by a name they were not born with somehow become a hassle?

TRANS PEOPLE ARE EVERYWHERE- Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA

i love this because it simultaneously reassures trans people, reminding them that they are not alone, while lightly threatening transphobes because there’s nothing they can do about it.
