I interrupted M's daily top surgery spiral and told him he needs to start telling people 'I'm a man that happens to have massive tits, so what? Got a problem with it?' Cause at the end of the day if he never is able to get top surgery, he's still a dude. People can respect him or shove it. bUT WhY nOt bInD aT lEaSt? First off, try having bigger than average breasts (that's AFTER a breast reduction even mind you!) now let's add chronic pain from a list of different conditions, oh and hot flashes too, can't forget debilitating anxiety, plus sensory issues. Go on, see how simple it is to bind now. 🙄Fuck. You. Guess what, even if he simply wanted to keep his breasts for any reason, he's still a dude. End of story.

#text post #👽#trans stuff #no wrong way to be trans #also don't you dare compare rich able-bodied trans folks to poor disabled trans people #while everyone has hoops they must go through the privileged have less hoops #being poor directly affects our ability to transition we can't afford it #the only way we could is through the government and for the longest time there weren't any psych doctors available...#...yet a psych doctor's letter is needed for insurance to cover it #for everyone that says how easy it is and act like the government is handing out surgeries and hormones left and right #every year we have to fight with insurance to cover our fibromyalgia/antidepressant meds that we can not function without #but tell me again how I can just request top surgery and get it done within a few months #no dentist within a three hour radius takes my insurance but let me know how easy it is to get a gender therapist that will #we have to wear glasses with super thick lenses because they don't want to shell out for the lighter weight material...#...I'm sure the same people that can't be assed to cover a little more for our everyday comfort would gladly shell out thousands of dollars #please pick up my sarcasm cause I'm laying it on thick #besides cost we also have some medical conditions that need treatment and that takes up time and energy #we also have been worried about transitioning and getting turned down for treatments for being trans...something we can't risk #If we had the funds we would have gotten top surgery years ago we wouldn't have to worry about in-network consequences or requirements #CJ is able to be a traitor and as delusional as she is because of her privilege #allies please listen to the actual whole community not just a few celebrities that can kind of speed run transition #that isn't to invalidate their own struggles but how they transition will look very different from someone who does have to wait #someone who can afford to buy a whole new wardrobe in a day will be perceived as more legit and trying harder...#...than someone that can only afford a few new clothes items here and there. Soley based on presentation. Tell me how is that fair?#which also brings me to facial surgeries #look how many rich trans people have facial surgeries vs poor trans people #unless it's a major cause of dysphoria it isn't as often pursued yet it can add another layer of passability and signal to others “valid”#I can tell you a lot of trans people would do more things to affirm their gender and alleviate dysphoria if they had the funds #we're just out here trying to survive not to be judged how valid we are or aren't by others who don't know shit #TL;DR take what rich trans people say or do with a grain of salt and listen to what the community is saying
