Here's your end of year reminder: you don't have to pass. Your end goal with transitioning doesn't have to be to look like everyone else. You're allowed to be and look different.

hey so Ive been wanting to get top surgery for a long time now but I also dont want nipples.
I know thats usually called Mastectomy but do you think doctors can just remove the nipple anyway?
Idk if this has already talked about before somewhere but I tried looking and I couldnt find anything really about it
For the double incision bilateral mastectomy, which is probably the most common type of top surgery, they have to remove and replace the nipple. You can just ask them to not put it back. That's what I did and it turned out fine:
My scars are a bit higher up than "normal" for a double incision; they usually try to put them along the underside of the pec muscle so they don't stand out so much. That's not related to the no-nipple thing though, I just had a weird surgeon.
But if you have very small breasts they might very well recommend a keyhole top surgery, which doesn't normaly include the removal of the nipple. So in that case your scars will probably end up where mine did if you ask for no nipple, since your skin might not be enough to stretch to under the pec muscle.

Fact #1070: Statistically speaking, you are more likely to regret not doing something than you are to regret doing something. So wear that outfit, try that new name, experiment with makeup, express yourself however you want to. No matter if it "matches" you gender or not.

Fact #1069: Nonbinary people's acess to help and support, recognition and validation, is just as important as that for binary trans people.

This would have been circa 1987; I was not indoctrinated into thinking this. Maybe kids just...know stuff about themselves?"

Fact #1061: "Nonbinary" doesn't have to mean "neither". Bigender people exist, genderfluid people exist, demigender people exist.

Notes on this post are ridiculous.
Article title: we're going to be sarcastic to show how stupid your bending over backwards to find a woke way to say "I'm a gender essentialist who thinks nonbinary people are Woman Lite" is!
People in the notes: You're right, our terms for Woman and Woman Lite ARE clunky, we do need better ones to keep describing this Category Of Person (women and people I think are women-just-pretending).
