    Heya, I just found your channel as a baby enby in the UK. I was just wondering if you know if the pricing structure is different based on the starting size or if that's not really a factor? Congrats on getting it done and I'm so glad to see how much happier it seems to have made you!

      Pricing doesn’t work on size shape or weight it’s purely down to the process your surgeon uses and all the other factors like hospital fees etc, I hope you get what you’re looking for though xx atm in the UK its all got a lot more expensive

    If only you two could have made this video 40 years ago and put it somewhere my 8-year old self would then find it…then the past 40+ years would have made SO much more sense to me as a non-binary person (age 51 today)! I only finally discovered the non-binary identity a few years ago after 40 years of never feeling like I really fit in anywhere, that is how seemingly set in stone the gender binary feels like until you finally learn it is also a spectrum, just like sexuality. The interesting thing, to me at least, is that I have long felt particularly drawn towards the transgender/MTF community (and often felt aesthetic and romantic attraction towards both transgender and cisgender women; sexual attraction is far more complicated by considerable past religious and sexual trauma, so I have never experienced such towards an actual flesh and blood person) but never understood why since I could never quite identify as MTF myself. I was born a boy, but I never fit in with nor understood other boys, yet I was not a girl either, though I was far more comfortable among the girls, whom I could at least understand and identify with in other respects - I was every bit as comfortable playing with the girls and engaging in typical girl’s play, if not more so, as when playing with other boys and my interests as an adult are also somewhat a split. Now, I understand the “why” was because they were the closest (known) available binary choice to my identity. Unfortunately, I fear it is going to take quite a bit of time for the rest of society and the world at large to finally catch up to that same realization as we seem so compelled by social gender norms to gender absolutely *everything* boy/girl, man/woman, male/female in our society that we are darn near blind to any other possibility. I wish you both long, happy, and healthy lives!

    My mothers mastectomy still hurts her to this day. The scar tissue, loss of muscles, and lymphatic flow have left her very damaged. A last resort to help save a life due to cancer, yet celebrated here as some bizarre fashion choice. You will NEVER be able to breast feed and you have lost erogenous feeling. Yeay you.

    • @ru9969
      @ru9969 Před rokem

      I'm so sorry that your mother had to go through that. That must have been incredibly difficult and painful, and cancer is a horrible thing. All my condolences to her. However, you using that story to shit on a trans person's (completely different mind you) surgery is just mean and unnecessary. From what you said, it seems that your mother had to undergo a radical mastectomy - where the muscles behind the breast and the lymph nodes are removed as well. That is not at all what happens in top surgery, so there is no loss of muscles or lymphatic flow, and I have never heard of scarring from top surgery continuing to hurt after years (though I can't say that it has never happened to anyone ever). By the way, you know what, getting this surgery greatly reduces the chances of actually developing breast cancer, so people are less likely to need the kind of radical surgery that was necessary for your mother which gave her major complications. Also, I'm sure you probably know this already and are just saying it here too be a transphobic twat but it's not a fashion choice, by any stretch of the imagination. Dysphoria is fucking awful and trans people have this surgery because of how much it improves their quality of life and their mental (and physical) heath afterwards. Also, lol 'you will NEVER be able to breast feed and you have lost erogenous feeling' oh no how terrible! However will any trans person cope? I can't think of anything more terrible myself than not having erogenous nipples or having to bottle feed the baby I'm never going to have. I'm sorry, very few ftm or non binary people I know want to ever carry a child themselves that this statement is bizarre to me. And breast feeding is not the only option even then. For many cis people, this isn't an option either. It really isn't the end of the world. And the erogenous nipples thing is so bloody trivial. So yeah. 'Yeay' them, because they have now had top surgery which they seem incredibly happy with, and a great support system around them. Congratulations and all power to them for doing what is best for them. Why not try stopping going around looking for videos to get mad at so you can shit on other people's parade and go do something fun with your life?

    Thank you both so much for covering this debate, it made it much easier for me to understand and much more enjoyable to watch. I was horrified at the revelation that the conversion therapy ban only applied to under-18s and that it wasn't mentioned in social media posts that I came across mentioning the ban. Loved this video and am looking forwards to watching your videos of future debates!

    I remember the first time I got a present from my mom and it was a bra. And my first response to that was "Should I wear that?" and she was like "yeah of course! you're a girl! every other girls wear it around your age!" But for some reason I didn't want to? so I asked her "Maybe...later? like..years later?" and of course, she was like "no?.. you have to wear it now" And I knew what non-binary was but I didn't know I would be a non-binary person. so I thought to myself...'maybe I'm thinking this way because I'm immature than others mentally.' 'Maybe it's because I think of myself as a kid still' I heard other girls talking about how wearing bra is uncomfortable some time to time so I thought to myself "maybe what I'm feeling is exactly that, just uncomfortable of wearing" But what I didn't know is..no girls would want a binder to actually bind their chest or get a surgery for it just because wearing bra is uncomfortable.

    1:37-1:58 Sounds very creepy indeed. You may've been played, bubba: you could be an internet star and you don't even know it yet! The message is clear; if you want to undergo an elective double mastectomy for purely psychological reasons and you don't want to wait for several years for even an appointment with the NHS, it's best to be earning enough to pay for it or to have relatives or friends willing to stump up the cash. It certainly doesn't help to be on a low wage or unemployed!
