That is how long it took me to find this FUCKING POST
JUST TO SAY
THIS POST HAS GIVEN ME A GENDER EUPHORIC HIGH I HAVNT FELT IN SO LONG
"But Li, you repost so many trans positiviy posts, why is this one so euphoric"
First of all, your beautiful, SECOND of all:
Specifically for one of the characters represented in it that i can relate to SO hard
And that is HIM
As a pre-top surgery trans guy, this shit makes me feel so EUPHORIC
Whether he can't get top surgery or doesn't want it doesn't fucking matter, what matters is that he doesn't have it, and he's still chest out and fucking proud about it
I don't know how to describe it properly but seeing somebody whose body is so much like my own, sitting there so casually, the representation has me on fucking Cloud Nine
And the whole image is beautifully created, an amazing representation of the diversity of trans men is just breath taking- the colors, the poses, the controposo, the contrasts
It's just, it's just a perfect and uplifting image all together, but still seeing someone with a body like mine represented is so beautiful and wonderful
This post has effected the way I carry myself
I used to think the peak of my masculinity right now was walking around the house in a sports bra because I don't have a proper binder rn- I was still covering mirrors to shower. Lights off, don't look down, just wash and go, close my eyes to get dressed
BUT FUCK after I saw this, I went to change and I looked in the mirror, and I saw myself in this image
I was able to look at my chest more objectively
And I just thought-like
"Yeah, that is a male body, that's what my male body is *supposed* to look like"
And just
Yeah
happy pride !! i love u my trans masc siblings 🫶 ⚧️ 🫶
this is also a redraw of a piece from june 2019 ⬇️
ID: [A person with shoulder length brown hair. Text in front of them reads “Hi again!”. The video changes to show them pointing to more text on screen that reads “A lot of you have been asking me how I got top surgery covered when I’m not trans masc or on hormones”. They point again to more text that reads “Its because WPATH standards of care says a diagnosis of gender dysphoria is valid enough reason to need top surgery without HRT and most insurances use this as a guide”.
Another change where they are holding their foot upside down with text above reading “I want to share this amazing resource with folks - its how I got two therapist letters diagnosising my dysphoria FOR FREE”. The video changes to a laptop screen with the text “Thegalap.org”.
The website loads and more text on screen reads “These therapists have pledged to write low cost and free letters to trans folks to get rid of some of the stress and lame gatekeeping we have to deal with when getting our nexessary precedures covered. They are all around the country and will see you remotely, usually over the phone or video.”. athe cideo cuts to the same person, this time giving a thumbs up.
Text reads “It was a pain free, validating process and my insurance accepted both letters no questions asked! Good luck!!! You’re valid!]
Just a reminder that you don't need to feel bad about not getting top surgery as a trans guy. There are cis men with bigger tits you'll be fine
we love when studies confirm shit we already know 🥳🥳🥳
Hi everyone! My friend Dario is trying to get top surgery, if you could pitch in or at least share his gofundme it would be lovely!
