everytime i explain that i was aware of my gender identity at 5, I get ignorant cis people telling me, "I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING AT 5 SO YOU MUST BE LYING." Growing up being trans without acceptance and care is very traumatic. I was very vocal about being a boy and I was ignored and thrown to the side to deal with it on my own. female puberty made it 10x worse and 10x more traumatic. Maybe if we just accepted trans kids, they wouldn't be so traumatized growing up as trans kids. stop saying kids can't know. I knew who i was before i even knew what trans people were. kids are not dumb.

I still can't believe I had top surgery 2 weeks ago. Looking down at my chest gives me so much joy. Being able to rest my hand on my chest and actually like what I feel is such a foreign and welcome feeling. I didn't think I'd be so emotional about this; not everyone is, and that's totally ok! But damn. I keep almost happy-crying every time I look in the mirror.

Happy one year to undergoing major surgery to feel at home in my body

Happy one year to accidentally setting off the vitals monitor because i was entranced by the cardiac monitoring waves and forgot to breathe

Happy one year to staying home for two weeks straight and lighting a candle close to the time my roommate would be getting back because she said it smelled like home

Happy one year to having tubes coming out of my armpits (why did they put them there???)

Happy one year to never having to bind again

Happy one year to the nipple bolsters that looked like little pumpkins

Happy one year to the first step of so many things i had been waiting forever for

I'm tired of trans people and kids being used as political pawns in a genocidal war.

This isn't a game.

Trans people aren't going to just die quietly to make conservative nut jobs more comfortable. Trans kids aren't disposable. Infact, neither are trans people. Or kids.

Republikkkans need you uneducated, dumb, & ignorant, so they can keep molesting and murdering your kids.

Protect your kids, family, & friends from nazi/ republikkkans, and protect trans people & kids from the conservative control freaks who only want to suppress you.

Protect your right to vote & vote to protect trans people from genocide.

Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “Change is the only constant in life.” And that’s really fitting at the moment for twenty-something-year-old Max. As a trans man, the past can be interesting, and a little dark in Max’s case.

But now, after long therapy sessions, talking with people who didn’t know what they where doing, hormones, surgeries, and more surgeries, and more therapy, Max is happy, a husband, and a father. Back in his darkest moments, he never thought he’d see the day, now, here they are!

people are literally only against gender affirming care when it's for trans people. this is how I KNOW y'all don't actually care.

you don't care about kids.

you don't care about anyone actually.

it's all fear mongering and just being upset because someone told you to be upset.

you have outrage for trans kids getting puberty blockers but you have no outrage for cis kids getting puberty blockers.

you have outrage for trans boys and men getting top surgery but you have no outrage for cis boys and men getting top surgery.

you are simply transphobic. everyone receives gender affirming care and participates in gender affirming care to an extent. it doesn't even have to be medical. you just hate trans people.

And most people who detransition don't even regret transitioning in the first place. Most of them were forced to detransition because of harassment, or could no longer afford HRT.

A very small percentage of people detransition in the first place, and an even smaller percentage actually do it by choice.

Bans on HRT or laws trying to make it so hard to get have never been about "protecting people". They have always been about transphobia and trans erasure.

The politicians who try to stop access to HRT couldn't care less about people who regret transitioning. They are just using those people as a weapon to hurt the people who won't regret transitioning.

New reaction pic for y'all to be used when you get into an argument about trans healthcare and your opponent starts talking about the 0.8% or whatever of trans people who regret transitioning

Out here looking like your drunk uncle that had a bit too much at the family barbecue.

But in reality, this is me a few hours after top surgery with bilateral flank liposuction. I was in a lot of pain when I first came out of anesthesia, so they threw the whole pharmacy at me.

Even as I was crying out in pain in the PACU, all I could think is I made the right choice. I'm about 30 hours PO, and I already feel so much better about my body. I'm so incredibly grateful to have access to gender-affirming care.
