  • Here's the link to my (now closed) gofundme if you want to read more about my experience: gf.me/u/yp7t69
    I've wanted a breast reduction since I was 19. Over the years I feel like I've watched every video and read every blog in an attempt to find similarities, and everything I found was from a cis-female perspective, which can be really isolating.
    Recently I've benefitted so much from connecting wit other GNC people who are going for breast reductions over top surgery, and it means the world - I would have LOVED to hear from someone who felt similarly to me and can't imagine where I'd be now if I had that opportunity 10 years ago! So as well as raising awareness, I'm hoping to rep people with a similar experience and encourage more people to share their knowledge so we can all feel a bit less alone!

    For me It’ll be the breast reduction. I want my breast to be small enough that I can hide them when I feel more masculine, and that I can show when I’m feeling more feminine. Not sure if yall understand lol, I’m so excited for my surgery

      In a similar spot. I'm a girl through and through but I want these puppies gone. I have no need for them.

    Thank you. Same, I don't want a flat chest, just a manageable, small one. I've been looking for years about folks who feel like this

    This is the kind of conversation I've been searching for, thank you so much!! When I was younger I was set on top chop or nothing because as a gender queer masc-leaning person that felt like the only route to take to get rid of that dysphoria, but once I discovered the power of breast reduction I felt a whole new kind of hope. The only problem is 99% of the content relating to it is from a cis woman's perspective (happy for them, but this here is the kind of internal monologue I've been having with myself). Going to watch the follow up videos!!

    Thank you for sharing your story. I'm currently figuring out my gender identity. I've been thinking a lot about Top Surgery vs. Breast Reduction for at least 7 years now. My b00bs aren't big enough to cause physical pain but I definitely feel like I'd feel way more comfortable in my body if they were much smaller (or just gone). I'm so jealous of folks with small b00bs who can comfortably go braless. 😩

      Totally know how you feel! Talking about it with people who know what it's like definitely helps

    this is exactly what I needed to hear right now. it's easy to find people that are happy with their results, but hardly anyone documents the mental processes that precede the decision to get one or the other or none procedure. thank you, I hope you're happy with it!

    I’m so glad you made this video! There’s just nothing out there about non-binary people trying to choose between top surgery and a reduction. I decided to do a radical reduction with no nips. Not totally flat, cuz that doesn’t feel right for me, but still a small chest that can exist without being perceived if I want it that way. Happy to watch your series and share in this bit of queer joy! Much love!

      Ah wow that's really nice to know I'm glad it's relatable. I've hit pause on sharing my journey as it suddenly felt super private, I wish there was a way to share it with like... just queer people? Feel free to DM on insta @umm_no_thankz :) xxx

    thank you so much for starting this conversation! I’m quite confused about how I identify atm but finding people having conversations I can relate to in some way feels so important in understanding what I feel 🪶

  • @JUNKTV420

    I am non-binary and bigender. I thought I was the only one who wanted a breast reduction. I feel so much better knowing I'm not alone and other people are like myself and looking for the same. I don't know why I never thought about a breast reduction. Lol. I thought I would get top surgery and would miss my breast and it be a big mistake. I identify as male and female so I dislike my female traits. Just want them to be how I want them to be. If that makes sense. Lol. Thank you so much for putting up your journey.

    The thing you said about leaning towards breast reduction felt like hitting the nail on its head for me. Iam not all that confident about my gender identity, I remember being okay with the idea of having breast as a teenager because that was consider sexy/appealing for someone who identifies as a woman, but the attention that my breast drag and they way they don't let me dress up and present myself the way I want to has been really troubling me. Thankyou so much for this video

    I wished I'd gotten top surgery a long time ago since I'm nonbinary and never even wanted those alien blobs that started growing on my chest at nearly sixteen and made me think my chest was very deformed.I'm currently using flat chest subliminals to at least start to actually get rid of that chest deformation so it would be gone sooner and it's begun working.

    I'm so happy for you! I feel exacted the same, my boobs grew up when I was 9 and they kept doing until this year (I'm 22) and I just want to take them off but I'm not sure about what to do, I really want a top surgery but I'm so scared I'd regret it later. Good luck with it!

    • @isabellayancey5616
      @isabellayancey5616 Před 2 lety +1

      im the same, i worry that i'll regret cutting them completely off. i'd rather avoid that possibility of regret by having the choice of binding and looking very flat (in comparison to binding G cup boobs) or having just very small breasts.

    I’m hoping to get a breast reduction next year (but I want to be pretty much flat) since my parents only want me to get top surgery in my 20s and binding is miserable 😢

    ive been waiting for 5 years to get on the waiting list for government subsidised top surgery in new zealand, im afraid that ill get a result i dont like because i dont have a choice what surgeon i go with and they could just ignore my advice. im also going to have to wait an uncertain amount of time on the waiting list, probably years and i dont know how im going to hold on, its a miracle ive made it to 18

    • @allthethings974
      @allthethings974  Před 3 lety

      Hi friend, I'm so sorry you're struggling. I promise you you absolutely can make it, it is so worth holding on. Despite not being able to choose a surgeon you absolutely have the right to advocate for yourself, or bring someone along with you who is confident advocating for you. They want to help you, and top-surgery specific surgeons will have a lot of experience and understanding. I know the feeling of being surprised you've made it this far, it's exhausting but I promise you can totally do this. Feel free to reach out if you need, @ndella_allthethings on insta xxx

    Someone help 😫I want a flat chest but have already paid for a breast reduction which my surgery center assured me that I could get them as flat as possible and it’s still considered a reduction. Yes I am non/binary- transgender.. is a flat chest breast reduction still possible??????
