There was some drama about that because apparently he did do top surgery on larger people before (and other people do) but just didn't do a good job. Seems more like damage control to rule those people out.

unfortunately hes not talking about people who would be in danger if they went under anaesthesia, not people who are medically obese. the surgeon says this to people who are within a normal bmi but on the higher end, whom he thinks the aesthetics of the results would be ruined because they are on the chubbier side

@isaac_rowan That is sad. I had an orthopedic surgeon refuse to fix a huge tear in my soft tissue of my knee because I am obese. Instead, he caused me Cushings from Prednisone. Surgeons like that karma will bite them in the arse.

What is periareolar-

Congratulations and good luck 🤗

It’s more dangerous for people with a higher bmi, more complications and risks are associated with it. A lot of surgeons will do it but it’s easier and better if you are a more “healthy” weight.

Not really acquainted with top surgery- but my grandpa had hip bone surgery, my aunt had a surgery for displaced disc. In both cases, they were told to be in a certain bmi range. And we also had a neighbour who's doctor advised against a surgery because of being too overweight. Not only recovery, your body can go into shock while in surgery. It's not to be inclusive- if people are too old or too heavy- they won't be eligible for *some* surgeries. Because doing that surgery would cause more damage. Again, I don't know about top surgery one. Just wanted to say that if possibles doctors would provide treatment regardless of weight or age. Sometimes the risk outweighs more than the benefits.

Now a man because breasts have been removed?

It's different with every surgeon I believe

nope, must surgeons in the uk accept ppl who arent on t. some surgeons require u to go off t for like 6/4/2 (it varies) weeks before surgery because of blood clotting risks, but not all do. you dont have to stay on t after surgery and no surgeon will make you disclose your future plans with hrt. if u go off t, or arent on it in the first place it wont affect your results, they cant grow back as long as all the breast tissue is removed, the only way ur results will be affected by t is from how your pectoral muscles develop

@@isaac_rowan Thanks a lot!

Watch and read and learn as much as you can about it, especially videos and accounts of people sharing firsthand experience having gone through it are great resources. And also Many surgeries that are much more commonplace are much more invasive. Being scared is completely rational so don’t feel bad but use it to guide you to inform yourself - maybe that fear is a lot of areas of the unknown

I wonder if it’s because of the region of his accent?

Hi! We aren't talking abt ppl who are severely obese to the point ANY surgery can be incredibly risky. We are talking abt ppl like me (5'3, 200 pounds, most fat in thighs) in which it simply CAN be bc they aren't trained to work on us.

Hey kids, basketball is fun but you know what isn't? Drugs.

You have to prove you have experienced it for yrs lmao

May be a different person? But the same name…😊

I was also confused and wondering if it was noahfinnce

Hey, just a quick heads-up that Ez uses just he/him pronouns :)

@@Francesca-bo3ou He doesn't use they/them pronouns anymore, and hasn't for over a year now. Again, no hate, just giving you the heads-up. You can see exclusively he/him in his bio :)

She’s still a girl

According to trans people.. only quoting: "Biologically female but indentifies as male"

CLOTHES ≠ GENDER That’s how >:3

@@Whyamiawakeat3am how comes they dress as a stereotype of a camp male now then? They went from presenting as a woman to presenting as a male. So if the clothes don't correlate to gender then why bother look like a stereotype of a male? Interested to see the rationale

@@averyintelligence Bc when was the last time you’ve seen a straight, cis male wear stereotypical female clothing and NOT get made fun of? Society has told us that dresses and crop tops are for girls, and pants and ties are for men. So, when someone goes out of that standard, ppl don’t really like it to say the least.

@@Whyamiawakeat3am I'm a masculine woman who gets misgendered as male all the time. I understand what you're saying. I don't know why people still consent to buying into stereotypes, as that's the basis of being trans. It is difficult to be a manly woman or a feminine man in this society, for sure. We do get oppressed from a young age. The real non gender conforming people who take the bs and the disphoria that comes with it should be championed. Being trans is simply giving in and actually buying into the concepts of what is a 'man' or 'woman'. It's all based on external image and ones own courage to face the reality and integrate the selfs of them they hate.

@@averyintelligence I’m a closeted trans myself (FTM- he/they) so I can say that trans people aren’t just “Buying in to the stereotypes”. It’s all about how *you* are. Not about how people perceive you or your gender, that’s kinda what makes people trans. Being trans is *not* giving in to the societal norms of being cis. Plus, being trans is just an umbrella term for lots of different things. Bigender, pangender, nonbinary, demigender, etc. so saying that people are just “buying in to concepts” makes no sense.

so idk if you knew this but people’s voices do indeed go higher when they’re happy

Please… it’s very clear when someone is frocing their voice to sound deeper/higher

@@Nikkipikki22It’s also very clear when one has been on testosterone, making their voice deeper normally but it’ll get much higher pitched and cracky when certain emotions are intense, such as happiness. Although after long enough, those things die down and one’s voice sounds closer to normal.

its almost as if intonation exists...

Hi! This is actually bc those who are raised as girls are taught to speak higher. We have to remember to not do that if we don't want to sound like a flamboyant gay man (nothing wrong with that tho)

They may have been physically healthy, but they were causing him mental pain by triggering his gender dysphoria. Transitioning medically is a treatment to alleviate the symptoms of gender dysphoria.

Two hours and they can just determine you’re trans wtf hahah… sounds about right.😂

it is a rather long time to be talking about one specific topic. the diagnostic team also get a lot of information before the appointment through like 7 different questionnaires, which are pages and pages long. they ask about pretty much all aspects of your medical history, mental health history, childhood and adulthood. its also really not that hard to diagnose but you arent a professional in that field and have no experince with anything trans related so idk why youre acting like you know better than people with degrees in this topic.

It's absolutely shocking

@@2bpencil852 dunno if you read that wrong, but I’m just trying to find people who are also worried about this. I’m worried that I’m not trans even though I have pretty bad gender dysphoria.

Something that helped me a lot when I had doubts over whether I was really trans was the realization that cisgender people don't worry about not being "trans enough." I mean think about it: why would someone who isn't trans worry about whether they deserved to transition? It would be like someone who isn't an amputee worrying if they need a prosthetic. If you know you know. If you feel like you are any bit trans you are trans enough to transition. You don't even have to start with hormones. You can take smaller steps, like trying a different name or styling your hair or clothes differently. Some of the first gender euphoria tingles I got were when my hair reached my shoulders. See what feels good, and if doing more of it feels better that's probably a sign you're on the right track.

I used to be constantly scared of this but then I realized I was languishing over labels. The truth was that in the lived reality of my everyday life, taking the steps I had in my transition did improve my wellbeing. No matter what it could be called , in this case it’s called gender transition, what I did helped me. This thought process also helps me relax because I am stressed how there is no way to “really know” (ie. Blood test, brain scan, whatever) when in fact these behavioral and lifestyle patterns are the way you uncover that transitioning is right for you. Some people do transition and then detransition after realizing unaddressed trauma was guiding their desire to transition, and not gender dysphoria by itself. And that is okay. It’s always okay to change how you live to be more comfortable with yourself. I hope you do not let fear guide you but rather seek ways to help yourself and comfort yourself, no matter where they lead you or if they loop back around to somewhere you were before. And also I will add that many, many trans people have a fear of being “fake” or “not really being trans”. But the truth is that “being trans” doesn’t just mean one thing, and many trans who transition do still deal with issues of suicidal thoughts and living with trauma. It doesn’t make them less trans. Everyone has full lives with room for their whole selves, all parts. Peace and love to you ❤

@@2bpencil852pretty sure they're talking about themself lol

​@@We.should.start.the.apocalypse i honestly haven't heard of a cis person having gender dysphoria could you please explain your experiences?
