i got diagnosed with cancer just a few weeks after starting testosterone. after going through the trauma of the diagnosis, surgery and recovery, and finally processing everything that happened to me... i realised i don't want any gender-affirming surgeries, ever. i want to keep all the healthy tissue that i can. if these people could understand what it feels like to have to give up physical parts of you, they would probably change their minds too. it makes you a lot more grateful for what you have, i think.
Might be a repost but this is getting trippy
