I am in awe of your sense of humor in the face of all this. Remarkable.

I'm used to reading euphoric accounts of top surgery from transmen and NB folks who've elected for it and had to fight to get it. Reading about the ciswoman hoops of reconstruction was profoundly shocking. I do hope all this goes well for you and that you have great support around you. Hospitals suck and hopefully you'll soon be done with them. Sending a soft little hug for you.

This is just epic. You've stopped me in my tracks again. The image of the remade tattoo of waves is going to stay with me for a long, long time.

Wishing you the very best possible recovery. That is an astounding piece and although reading that made me so sorry you had cause to write it, I am grateful that you did, particularly for those who need to read this.

Just found you here on Substack. So sorry you are dealing with so much. Hope ALL goes well with your surgery and that you find the #2 tattoo artist first! Best wishes.
