I'm nonbinary and just starting to consider top surgery (exciting but scary), and seeing people share about it makes it seem like a real possibility and a lot less scary/unusual. So thank you and I'd love to hear more about how your process went from starting to make that decision. Congrats :)

woo exciting! for me the process of deciding to get top surgery was pretty easy. (actually seeking it out was also fairly easy because of trans care here in BC!! my only major struggle was the wait time afterwards but we made it)

basically as soon as i started developing breasts something pinged in my head that that was wrong. i've never felt so disconnected from a part of my body before, but it felt like they belonged to someone else. my body was underneath them, strangled by them.

binding, back when i could bind, provided little to no relief as it mattered little to look right when it only compounded the sensation that my real chest was trapped underneath STUFF.

to make matters worse my breasts rapidly grew to a completely unacceptable size for day to day life functions. braless or not, i have severe back pain, daily tension headaches, and i can't do simple chores like washing dishes. its been hell on earth for years and i would do anything to rid myself of this crippling burden! :D in fact due to the long suffering pain ive been in all these years its made me completely unafraid of & actually eager for any pain from recovery. even if its excruciating (unlikely) knowing it is a VASTLY shorter-lived pain than the years of misery is gonna be an insane relief. also some weird part of me kinda feels like any pain is gonna be cathartic, a sort of Take That to my breasts lol

originally i wanted an aggressive breast reduction, since i'm fat and i thought being completely flat would look unnatural, but i learned that breast tissue can grow back over time - i'd rather not risk that at all. i ended up asking my surgeon if she could leave some fat behind so i don't look concave and luckily she has experience with exactly that.
