What is your sexuality?
bisexual :p
(two weeks post op) I got my scar tape removed the other day! my nipples are still in horrendous shape so i have to keep wearing some protective gauze as they heal but iām getting there! (DO NOT reblog if youāre a trans/ftm fetish blog!)
Alright so this isnāt a pretty picture. But itās the one we have so deal with it.
Top picture is what was immediately beneath the gauze I was given at the hospital. I removed said gauze last night in a curious haste and was gifted with the sight of these weird foam hockey pucks sutured over my nipples. That was... fairly shocking. But, as is common post-op, I became fairly emotional and anxious. It doesnāt help that Iām fighting off a pretty gross cold/cough so Iām already not feeling Super Great, as well as the fact I was shorted by over half of my pain pills from the pharmacy. Still no idea what happened there, still annoyed about it. So Iāve been alternating Advil and Tylenol as my pain meds ran out, with mucinex to try to break down the phlegm in my lungs. Itās, overall, Fucked.
Bottom picture is the result of my post-op appointment with Lincenberg. He removed the sutures (pretty goddamn painful) and exposed my new nipples which looked like burnt pepperonis. This is normal. But I was extremely relieved to see they were a fairly normal size for a male (my old nipples were fairly large? and even if my breast tissue had shrunk more with T, it wouldnāt lookĀ ānormalā) and a good placement. That was one of my biggest concerns because Iāve seen some post-op trans male chests that had some wonky nipples.
The bandages on my nipples are part of my new post-op care where i cover them with this medicated gauze that Iāll end up changing every 24 hours or so. I can take showers now! Iām excited about that. It still smells disgustingly like hospital soap/iodine down there and Iām sick of it.
That bandaid/black scab in the center of my chest is from a mole that Lincenberg didnāt like (medically). He said he cleaned it up but iām pretty sure he just lopped it off. I was considering having it removed anyway so okay? But weird.
iāve got a fever
at first check it was 101°F, steadily declining over a few hours to 99.2°F. this is apparently pretty common but god damn if it doesnāt suck.
down to 3 pain pills. wish weād gotten a refill while we had my surgeon on the phone.

Day 2 has been signficantly more uncomfortable than Day 1 but maybe thatās because i didnāt sleep as much today. My bandages and gauze are starting to feel more and more like a binder that got stuck to me. Iām antsy for Sunday to come so I can reveal what my scars and nipples look like. I literally have no idea how big theyāll be (my areolas weāre pretty large pre-op. Maybe Iāll post pics one day when the memory has long past).
Sunday Light me Up
Congratulations on top surgery!

Top Surgery Pre-Op post!
Well itās been A While since Iāve posted here but I figured I might as well re-cap my pre-op experience for Top Surgery today.
(Oh yeah Iām having top surgery on the 14th)
1 year and 4 months on T and Iām finally getting something of aĀ ābeardā going. Also: hair game ridiculous please send help.
a 2013/2016 comparison because it makes me laugh

And here we are! One year later (technically tomorrow). Iām gonna compile my selfies and do some fun comparison posts, including an audio I did a few weeks ago. But after that I donāt think Iāll be doing weekly updates. Maybe just at big landmarks and probably with some aesthetic inspo pics. But this blog wonāt go away for good, largely because itās such a cool way to document this amazing first year.
So!!! Thanks for following and continuing to follow. I canāt wait to see what year 2 holds for me.

I need a hair cut, first off. Iāll be doing that... eventually, I guess. Itās just so annoying trying to communicate what I want with my stylist. I give them a picture and they glance at it and guess what, they donāt get it right. I have to be more assertive withĀ āNo, I want literally this, not what you think I want.ā Because otherwise Iām going to be stuck with this weird uneven mop forever.
Anyway, I realized I never updated here what happened with my dad outing me to my Bubbee.
In short? It went better than I couldāve hoped. I missed the explanation and questions, which I hated missing, but when I finally went over that night and sat down with her, she showed me nothing but love and support. She even told me she knew from seeing me last year; āWell, thatās a boy! Iāve raised three of them, I know them when I see them.ā Iāll never forget that.
Iām so lucky. Iām so god damn lucky. Iām so loved and accepted by everyone whoās important to me and even if there has been a struggle changing with them and myself, itās never been questioned that I was accepted. Iām so lucky every day I get to say I love you to my parents, my sister, my best friends, my boyfriend. Iām so lucky for each injection I get to do myself, for each clinic visit I can afford, for the eventual surgery I know my parents will help pay for. Iām so blessed.
Iām relapsing into my depression. I can feel it. Yesterday was Hell, today was better but not great. Iām still not okay. Iām figuring myself out every day and trying my hardest. I donāt always feel like Iām making progress but I am. Iāve changed so much this past year but Iām definitely better for it. I sure as hell am better than I was last year. Iām so much stronger and happier than I ever thought I was or would be. And I know 2016 is only going to be better.
