Please boost! #TransFemme folk, what should I be asking in my bottom surgery consult tomorrow? Stress has blanked my mind and I need help thinking of things I’ll wish I asked!

#trans

My first experience in the world was be non-consentually gendered. Before my umbilical cord was cut, medical professionals had decided how they would gender me. Everyone else followed. I was not given a chance to consent to that gendering and the role that came with it. I was not given a chance to say no.

That act of violence came with further coercion. I was conscripted to follow the rules of the gender that was forced on me, and those rules included gaslighting myself about who I was; any deviation from the role I was assigned was to be shamed at a minimum.

@jepyang @lennby I HAVE BEEN WONDERING THIS SAME THING.

@brooke @rooster I feel like everything about time zones is cursed knowledge.

@Terra @WrenArcher That’s some strong Wren energy, there.

@WrenArcher @Terra I mean, I just think they are really cute denim action, and that reads really you! 😊
