#top surgery
Click here to support Robert’s Top Surgery Fund organised by Robert Hansford
My gorgeous boyfriend is raising money for him to get top surgery as he has been waiting on the NHS waiting list for over 2 ½ years now. He is told it could be 3 years before he actually gets surgery but with going private it can be as little as four weeks waiting. Although, it is £6000. It would be greatly appreciated if you could donate something so he can start living his life. If you can’t donate, no worries, just sharing this would be great! Thank you so much ❤️
This is just to do with transition related stuff, I’m in the process of finding surgeons for top surgery. It’s been difficult. Everything is kind of overwhelming, but exciting. I’m just looking forward to being even more confident and happy.
People getting mad at Kalvin Garrah showing that he’s had top surgery and saying that doing that means he hates people who can’t transition and is classist is so funny. You’re just jealous.
No they’re getting mad at him because he is immature and toxic.
Oh no, these people were just straight up mad for him lifting up his shirt.
Somehow both Kalvin and the posse of anti-Kalvin tucutes are equally childish and it’s hilarious to me.
I don’t like the dude either but this is just funny
His haters are honestly far more immature (and pretty dumb tbh) like they seriously think this guy is gonna change his opinions at all because they spam him and get pissed at every little thing he does? They’re giving him money attention. I’d be loving like if I were in his shoes. He could probably get top surgery another 20 times with the money he’s gotten from their interactions on his social media

I mean I don’t watch KG but I’ve gotten the same response w ppl getting pissed off when I talk about my top surgery. Like not bragging or anything just bringing up that I’ve had it. I understand it can be hard to wait but at the same time you can’t take that out on other ppl
Yea I don’t like him but Jesus Christ him mentioning his top surgery, or anyone for that matter, isn’t a threat to people who haven’t had it? Weird thing for people to get pressed about. Jealousy issues for sure.

Hi everyone,
I’ve created a go fund me for my top surgery. I know it will take a couple of years to raise the money I need, but anything you could give, even if it’s a few cents, makes a difference.

Share if you can.
I appreciate it so much.
I am a trans nonbinary queer person in Ireland. I do not have access to medical care here, neither hormones nor surgery, so I will be following in my partners footsteps and going abroad for surgery.
Anything you can give is everything to me.
Took a shower and feeling GOOD
OH MY GOD
Hey! My name is Eli. My wife and I are trying to raise the money I need to have top surgery. We would appreciate it if you could spread the word about our fundraiser and/or give whatever you can. My wife will also be giving away original artwork (tattoo designs and maybe some canvases) once it takes off.
Thanks for all your help!
Hi Im Kai. I made a few t shirts and am currently working on hoodies to raise money so i can get a packer, get on T, and get top surgery. I didnt finish all the designs yet but they will constantly be being added to my gofundme page. The things go like this. 10 dollars you get a thank you card made by me. For 30 dollars you get a t shirt. For 50 dollars you get a hoodie. For 100 dollars i will pass on the gift and donate an item typically used by trans people (i.e. binder, packer, bra, compression shorts, etc) to another youth (under 21) in need. And for 150 dollars i will do all of the above. Im willing to work hard to get where i wanna be and i thank everyone who gives and everyone who had a heart to give. Thank you.

New video: ONE YEAR POST-OP TOP SURGERY!
Hello tumblr pals! I am still alive and shirtless, just in case anyone was wondering. Also I’m more active over on Twitter these days, so feel free to follow me on there if you’d like, @/queermurphys
My moms boyfriend is paying me back the money he owes me on Monday. That means I’ll officially have the entire amount for my surgery. I’ll still be taking commissions to save for food and bills, but I no longer have to worry about getting enough for the actual surgery.
One thing they don’t tell you about top surgery:
You’re gonna have a hormone crash, and it’s gonna be weird, and for the first couple days you’re gonna feel weird and bad emotionally and maybe feel like you made a mistake.
Yeah, that’s actually normal. Your breasts produce hormones and trigger hormone production elsewhere, and removing them induces something like a mild form of postpartum depression.
IT WILL PASS.
For the first few days I couldn’t even glance at my chest without feeling horrible, like I’d done something egregious. A few days later and I’m fine and thrilled, just as I thought I would be. The hormone crash is real, it’s okay, and don’t freak out about it too much. It will pass. You’ve done the right thing and you know it.
Hormones are just weird and evil.
Morning reblog
My scar is 23 inches long.
When my surgeon first explained that I would end up with one long scar instead of two, I was crushed. For years, I had pictured two scars and for some reason the idea of one long scar running across my whole chest saddened me.
A year and however many months later, I can’t picture my chest any other way.
I think my fear and disappointment towards it was rooted in the fact that I hadn’t seen many people with single scars.
So here’s some representation.
The worry of a single, massive scar turned into a 23 inch long mark of freedom.
this is so freakin true dude. my scar ended up being the same, and i feel like i only ever see the two scars (both in peoples pics and in art). its so good to see someone else with the same.
let me know if youd rather i remove this addition, but your post made me think.
one of the things that happened to me - after id flown home and was post-op, my stitches ripped and got infected (i think my body had a reaction, cuz i followed all the docs orders), and it took me a while to find good treatment for them, and it was thankfully sorted out thanks to a rly kind nurse who called her cousin to get me in at an out of the way wound care clinic, but it left a scar on top of my other scars. all the while it was happening i was so scared about looking terrible and that it would never look okay and it broke my heart every day having to take care of it and look at what i thought was my undoing, ruining what id worked so hard for.
over 2 years later? i barely even notice it. but i so rarely see anyone talking about post-op complications, let alone posting pictures of a chest that dealt with them. so thought id add on to the single scar love and post unconventional double scars. shoutout to everyone whos top didnt turn out like they expected. our bodies are as theyre meant to be, and theyre ours, and thats everything
this was an incredibly important addition

CW: death positivity , trans surgery mention ️⚧️, and Bats ______________________________
In english and spanish translations of the Mayan legend, Camazotz is often called the “Death Bat” (“Zotz” meaning bat in the k'iche’ language). They are entities of the underworld and symbols of sacrifice, death, and the night.
While there are fearful tales of them in their native culture, it is important to remember that in many cultures - cosmic beings were not altogether viewed through the western lense of “good and evil”. In fact, in many pre-columbian mesoamerican philosophies the primary dichotmomy was Chaos and Order, with the universe existing in the balance between the two. (and as a physics loving person this makes my heart sing )
Camazotz (sometimes said to be one entity that was “he”, or many of a type of entity that were “they”) to me, is a symbol of natural forces embodying Life and Death. To die is to be unwoven, and return to the earth. To live is to be re-ordered from the unwoven universe. To sacrifice… is to give up personal safety or the order of the status quo - and is something I feel has been relevant to many communities in our ongoing fight for Justice. Though what we work for, is a system that does not make us sacrifice ourselves. ✊✊✊️⚧️️♿
Even to the Mexica (called the “Aztecs” by the spanish), Bats were a symbol of the connection between Life and Death. Order and Disorder. They roost in the underworld (a place that was the womb of humanity) and fly into the celestial heavens. There are many crops and foods that rely on bats indefinitely.And even the fig trees from which the Mexica got their writing paper were planted by bats.Many of Life’s greatest enjoyments were made by bats and yet they are a popular victim of fear…
Point is…
I was REALLY thinking about bats and about my life in general. And yes! this is my Halloween pumpkin. I carved it on Dec. 25th even though I had it since mid October because of my top surgery making it hard to lift or use my arm muscles ️⚧️
(I like to think I sacrificed my chesticles,returned them to theChaos, and rebuilt the place my heart rests…)
I wanted to donate the pumpkin to @batworldsanctuary for the bats to snack on (they take donations!), but they can’t take carved ones .

The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, Caravaggio, c. 1601 (x) // The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, Elilsabeth Ohlson Wallin, 2017 (x,x)
ID: Caravaggio’s painting of Thomas and two other disciples gathered around the risen Jesus; Thomas is putting one extended finger into Jesus’ side wound. The second image is a photograph of contemporary people recreating this painting: three people, presumably men, gather round a person with top surgery scars; one person is extending a finger to touch the incision. / end id
this is the sweetest thing i’ve ever read
