The EU is doing a big survey for LGBTQ people who live in the EU about how it is for them right now. That's the kind of survey that's used for official reports and for laws so it's super important that it has as many people taking it as possible. You can take it in every EU language. (You can change the language in the top right corner) Share it with your friends!

top surgery tip 1)
get yourself used to sleeping on your back (and possibly elevated depending on your surgeon) BEFORE surgery.
top surgery tip 2)
have cough drops on hand because your throat will probably be sore from the breathing tube they use with anesthesia.
Top surgery tip 3)
Get and use straws. You'll have T-Rex arms for a while but you still need to hydrate.
top surgery tip 4)
the post surgery compression binder is more comfortable than youd think but it still gets pretty itchy. so dont be afraid to take benydryl, itll help you rest and stop the itch
top surgery tip 5)
sounds weird but try not to flex your pecs… watched a horror game play through and every time there was a jump scare my whole body tensed up including my pecs which hurt like a bitch
Top surgery tip 6)
Have hand sanitizer/ body wipes incase you cannot reach across sinks easily and to also put under your armpits if you cannot get deodorant there
top surgery tip 7)
you might be numb in some areas affected by the surgery. especially if your surgeon does any liposuction along with just cutting your boobs off. right now my armpits are numb which makes cleaning them weird. less of a tip and more its normal for early in recovery
top surgery tip 8)
about a week in stuff starts to feel like pins and needles. i thought that meant my one nipple was falling off. turns out its the opposite and its them coming back to life. the post op compression binder while annoying does help the tingling feel less weird
top surgery tip 9)
you surgeon may be ripped to hell and back like mine and put the compression binder on super tight. ITS OK TO LOOSEN IT A LITTLE.
its there for compression to keep the swelling down but same rules apply as a regular binder: it might be a little uncomfortable and feel tight but you need to still be able to BREATHE
top surgery tip 10)
invest in a long pair of tongs or one of those claw grabber things. i just made ramen that was in a cabinet above the microwave. how? tippy toes and tongs.
Top surgery tip 11)
You can buy little hair net looking guys at some major pharmacies that include shampoo and can be used to wash your hair in bed if you’re having trouble in the shower
(This is a general surgery tip but all my disabled friends swear by ‘em post surgery it makes your life much easier and you can feel properly clean)
top surgery tip 12) it’s okay to sleep on the couch or in a chair if it’s too difficult or painful to get in and out of bed. My couch plus a pile of throw pillows on either side of me was the perfect place to sit and simmer as I recovered. I also recommend getting one of those airplane pillows that go around your neck. very useful if you end up sleeping sitting up and don’t want your neck to crick.
top surgery tip 13)
when it comes to scar care. anything is better than nothing. and you dont need to shell out hundreds of dollars for fancy scar creams. to massage your scars as long as everythings properly closed you can just grab an gentle unscented or naturally scented lotion and use that. shea butter, cocoa butter, bio oil the like. youre just looking for something for sensitive skin and thatll keep them hydrated.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
RED ALERT: dying from no boy kissie
ough i want a boy to love on
reassure him when he's not feeling well, fall asleep in each other's arms. take care of him as my own & make sure he knows how much i love & adore him, checking in on him just for checking in's sake
this post is about faggots. two men.
I am so grateful for men. They are sweet and warm, like cookies.
Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.
Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing
This image is so so fucking important to me
Reblog this, cowards
how am I supposed to kiss kiss fall in love in these conditions
I need a boy to call me his "sun, moon, and all [his] stars" RIGHT NOW
big fan of totally normal domestic activities that are not exciting in the least. no i don’t want to see a movie or go to a fancy restaurant… i want you to take me on a grocery shopping date. we can cook dinner together and i’m really bad but don’t worry, it’s just cute
THINGS I WISH I KNEW BEFORE TOP SURGERY:
- If you have a caffeine dependency, you will experience withdrawal effects because you’ll most likely be too out of it for a couple of days after surgery to drink caffeine. The headache you get will mostly likely be a lot worse because of any prescription pain medication you’ll be taking. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) will be your best friend.
- Getting drains removed isn’t necessarily painful, but it is the most unnerving feeling ever, especially since they don’t do anything to numb you beforehand. I’m warning you now that you’ll most likely feel sick and potentially black out for a few moments. The feeling will pass quickly though, and the nurses are prepared for this.
- Your scars are going to look a lot bigger and messy when you first see them. This is because of swelling and surgical glue. After about 2-3 weeks the glue will crumble off, and the swelling will mostly go down, so you’ll be able to get a better look at how your chest/scars will actually look
- You won’t be able to reach most things you’d normally be able to after surgery due to both scarring and pain. It’s taken me 3 weeks just to be able to properly wash my hair because I couldn’t lift my arms high enough to touch the top of my head long enough.
- Your surgeon will probably ask you to stop taking your testosterone (if you’re on it) for 2 weeks before surgery, and 2 weeks after surgery. This is about a month without testosterone. Be sure to prepare for that in advance so you’re not surprised with any changes that might happen to your body. I know I got my period after 2 years of not having one because of this, so just be prepared so it’s not too big of a surprise and/or dysphoria spike
- You won’t be able to wear deodorant for about 2 weeks. It sucks, but as long as you’re able to shower frequently and change your shirt, you should be okay
- Get button up PJ sets. You can get them at Walmart. They are lifesavers, especially since you can’t really lift your arms or bend properly in order to take off normal shirts.
- Do not be alarmed if it looks like your nipple is falling off- it is just the scab I promise. Unless you smoke, you should have no fear about your nipples falling off. If you do smoke, talk to your surgeon about what to do well in advance to limit the risk!
- You won’t be able to drive for a hot second due to being on the pain medications, so make sure you have someone you trust to get you to and from places!
- Around the 3 week mark you’ll get a second spike of bad pain. This is because around this time is when you’ll be mostly back to normal routine, and moving around a lot more. Your body isn’t caught up yet, and so the soreness and the pain will be worse. This is normal, and unless the pain is unbearable, you shouldn’t have to contact your surgeon/doctor about any complications
- For any fellow poc, your nipples will most likely heal pink/light. This is fucking weird and I don’t like it, but I’ve heard they’ll eventually go back to normal over time. It’s most likely due to scar tissue
- When you go to put back on your medical binder with padding after you shower or take it off for scar cream, etc.: lay down to put it on. I promise you it’s so much easier than attempting to hold all the padding against your body and put on the medical binder without hurting yourself!
That’s all I got for now! I’ll add on if I remember anything else! Please remember that everyone’s surgery experience is different, im just illustrating some things that happened to me and might happen to others as well! Im only 3 weeks post op as well, so I’ll update if anything else weird happens!
i could be your loser boyfriend. do you ever think about that
the mere sight of a man's midriff is enough to drive one to madness
can i get a uh,, bf who will hold me as we fall asleep together,,?
i want to sit on your lap and kiss eachother for hours.
men are so gorgeous and loving men is so sacred. i wouldn't give it up for the world.
