I’ve never understood why right wing people make the argument “Oh the person could regret getting transgender surgeries”. Even if that was the case why and how would that be your problem or affect you

Not often but I believe the dissatisfaction rate for knee surgery is potentially surprisingly high

I regret my gallbladder removal more than my top surgery, mostly cause top surgery didn’t force me to completely change my whole diet and way of living

GAC has pretty much the lowest regret rate of any medical intervention out there. It would be deemed a medical miracle if people weren’t such fucking assholes about transitioning.

This!! I know of 16 year-old girls who get nose jobs but god forbid someone wants to take hormones that cis people can get easily (like estrogen for menopause or testosterone for hypogonadism)

“But that’s permanent!” And there are solutions to that. The permanent effects also take MONTHS to set in. I know the exact minute I took my first dose of oestrogen. It set in half an hour later and I felt *clarity* like I had never known before. It took a half hour to know I should have done it years earlier.

What did the clarity feel like? I’m a dude so I have nothing to base this on

I wish I could explain it and capture what it was really like, but… imagine fog over a lake you’ve been rowing through for what feels like forever. You feel you’re going in circles; you are. Then the fog clears. You see the shore. You start rowing. The shore gets closer and closer. Then you can dock. And for the first time, you’re on land. You can move.
