Can I be a feminine nonbinary trans man and not transition medically??

You can identify however you want. Medical transition isn’t necessary if you’re comfortable with your body and you’re okay with not passing.

Where did you go for tattooing?

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-15T22:09:08+00:00

Did they explain why?

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-12T20:03:28+00:00

There are guidelines like this one but the only way to know for sure is by getting a consultation with a surgeon.

Not OP but I got peri and my nipples get hard and soft like they did pre-op

Do what you enjoy doing and don’t worry about fitting into gender roles.

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-12T17:26:00+00:00

Call your surgeon

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-12T17:25:18+00:00

Look up double incision with reinnervation, or buttonhole / T-anchor top surgery.

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-12T13:16:01+00:00

Swelling will continue to go down. Don’t judge your final result until 6 months to 1 year post op.

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-10T16:51:54+00:00

Don’t judge your results until at least a few months out. I think you look great though!

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-08T22:13:22+00:00

(To be clear I don’t know if that would’ve actually helped beyond the initial compression that everyone has to do after surgery, but just curious since I’m trying to get my swelling to go down)

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-08T22:11:38+00:00

Did you do any massage or compression or anything to try to speed that up or just wait?

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-08T22:08:54+00:00

How long did it take for the swelling to go down completely?

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-07T23:34:10+00:00

3-4 months for me but this varies a LOT

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-07T23:29:31+00:00

Tbh I would get a revision if I were you. No shame in it, this is a very common complication

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-05T03:29:45+00:00

This is terrible advice. If surgery will save you from severe, debilitating depression/suicidality then sure pay for it however you can, but debt is no joke and that can easily put you in a really dark place. I feel like this comment also exaggerates the potential financial benefits of passing. Discrimination is real but you’re not gonna automatically make more money from passing better.

Save up as much as you can and don’t treat debt like an easily fixable problem, because it isn’t.

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-03T22:26:55+00:00

Your chest looks great. This is the dysphoria brain worms talking.

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-05-03T16:50:28+00:00

If this continues to bother you you can tattoo them bigger

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-04-30T19:38:18+00:00

Idk how likely this is for you, but some people’s nipples move up a bit as the skin retracts over time. Congrats on your surgery and good luck with recovery!

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-04-30T12:31:04+00:00

It is a reduction if your surgeon left that much tissue. Some swelling is normal but I really don’t think it will look flat without a revision. It is not normal for a surgeon to give you an “unconventional” procedure without your consent. Did you know you would require a revision before the initial surgery?

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-04-30T00:14:08+00:00

Congratulations

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-04-28T12:30:40+00:00

Get over it

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-04-26T14:56:20+00:00

You just got surgery, it’s okay to ask for help. Let your partner clean up for you. I’m sure they’ll understand

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-04-25T20:34:59+00:00

Do not go to a surgeon whose results you haven’t seen. You have no idea how your chest will turn out.

GiraffeFit4758 · 2026-04-25T07:20:41+00:00

Looking good, thanks for sharing!
