"Dem Bois Inc. was founded in 2016 by Shawn Aaron who identifies as trans-masculine.

The financial assistance that Dem Bois Inc. provides will help to elevate the burden of covering the total cost of surgery for individuals who identify as female to male, FTM transgender, and or trans-masculine person(s) of color who cannot afford to obtain chest reconstruction surgery, and or genital reassignment surgery (gender affirming surgery).

The surgeon MUST be located in the U.S."

When they remove your breast they take the opportunity to have a good look at it, just to see if there was anything going on.
Everything was normal, no surprise there.

They also weighted both my breasts: 142g and 148g* respectively.
And of course I automatically thought "that's like burger patties" (third pounders) which I find extremely funny.

*note the use of the metric system as further proof of its superiority.

It’s comical how much of my dysphoria is just gone after top surgery. I’ve hated my chest for like 30+ years and now it’s what it always should have been. I can wear any cut of top I want and not worry about my forms showing because I never have to wear them again. #trans #TopSurgery

A simple thing that got better for me after my top surgery: I have been able to do dishes a lot more than before, and cook healthier meals thanks to it.

Now that my chest brings me happiness, seeing it (or more like, not seeing it constantly) is no longer an obstacle to leap over every time I try to do everyday things. I can just happily listen to videos while doing dishes and knowing that I am preparing thw kitchen for a new, happy day. (:

I think the most wholesome way I’ve ever exchanged nudes is via top surgery exchange with other trans folks. Whether it’s swapping pics of boobs for pics or scars with a trans masc person or boobs for boobs with a trans femme person, the excitedness for their new boobs or lack thereof is so palpable. #TransFemme #TransMasc #TopSurgery #Trans

Had top surgery yesterday and I keep looking down and crying because my body finally feels right for the first time in my life. And the results were far better than I’d hoped for given how much loose skin I had from weight loss. I’m so happy #trans #TopSurgery #surgery

First time testing my walking pad/treadmill hybrid machine, and it performed so well! It’s been so long since I’ve been on a treadmill that I forgot how much I loved it. 5.6km flew by thanks to air conditioning, an EDM concert recording on my laptop, a portable fan blowing on me on high, and a water bottle on my standing desk. It was also my first shirtless run ever thanks to top surgery, so this run was a milestone for me even if it was just inside my own apartment. Running finally felt like I’d always imagined, and now I’m in tears. #TransJoy #running #TopSurgery

Are you a trans person (including non-binary people, of course) that's fundraising to cover the costs of transition related care? Or other trans related stuff?

If you are, we might be able to help you by sharing your fundraiser on our social media channels.

Hello Mastodon!

I'm here to promote a social discord server specifically for post-transition/late stage transition trans people. How you identify as a trans or nonbinary person does not matter as long as you consider yourself completed or near completion in your transition! This community exists because most online trans communities are overwhelmingly represented by people who are pre/early-transition. The server has a vetting process for safety purposes which just involves showing some proof of your trans status and telling us a little about yourself. Additionally, if you have had or are actively pursuing surgery we can connect you to surgery support communities too.

This link is good for 10 uses, just to test the waters.

Got cleared by my doctor to run for the first time since top surgery a month ago. Running again today felt so good and freeing that I cried. My locomotion was so familiar; my mind hadn’t lost its mental endurance; and my body retained more power than I was expecting. 3km just flew by. All the pain and discomfort was so worth it. My body is mine, and it is amazing. #TopSurgery #TransJoy #running
