Safety Concerns Post Surgery
Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing well! I originally posted this in the No T Top Surgery subreddit and a member recommended I reach out to this lovely subreddit for feedback as well.
I have my consultation for top surgery tomorrow!
I discussed this with my family yesterday and their biggest concern was my safety. I am not trying to pass as a man nor go on T.
Because I already have short hair, my family is very concerned that I might be harassed if I go out in public because they believe this world is a very judgmental place. They are also concerned it could cause work issues and I could be denied a job/promotion etc.
Would anyone please share their life experiences? Have you been harassed after top surgery? Has no one batted an eye? If you have been harassed, do you mind discussing what happened or how you handled it? (No worries if not)
I would also greatly appreciate any advice on how I might be able to calm their worries as I don’t want them to live in distress that I could be in danger any day.
I’ve wanted top surgery so badly for over 15 years and I’m so excited/nervous that it’s finally in my grasp.
Thank you so much for your time!
