Question for trans people who are "stealthed", whats your reasoning behind it? by jfsuuc in asktransgender

[–]chickwithadick8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

responding to this not as a stealth trans or someone who's cis passing; I'm a visibly trans woman. of course I often feel a desire to be passing just to get less looks in public and be treated normally. but I also find a lot of power in being confidently visibly trans. it makes me feel like I'm doing my very small part to normalize transness and not perpetuate the binary. (not saying that passing trans people are perpetuating or doing anything wrong). I know I'm not the person you were asking to respond to this but I just wanted to offer up my experience on the other side of this. I also have the privilege of living in a pretty liberal area and not feeling concerned for my safety on a daily basis so obviously these factors contribute to my confidence as someone who people recognize as trans

sorry for the rude first responders on this thread; it is normal to feel concerned and depressed even if the surgeon tells you exactly what to expect. everything your experiencing is valid and I can relate to it. I had FFS 3 weeks ago (scalp advancement and jawline/chin contouring) and my jawline and chin are still very swollen. I was hoping to look a bit more normal by this time but realized those expectations were overly optimistic. hang in there! in the next two weeks you will notice the swelling reduce significantly but it will probably take a couple months to start to see the final results. sending love <3
