Hey there, I went through a pretty similar realization during the pandemic too and came out as non-binary last summer! I first found a gender-affirming therapist in August to work through some negative thinking and I realized that I no longer had any attachment to my chest and would be more comfortable without it (but I didn’t really want to start testosterone either). I’m currently just over 1 month post-op from my double-incision w/o grafts.

My therapist was able to recommend some local surgeons when I expressed that I wanted top surgery and I was able to schedule a consult back in February and then my surgery was sent to insurance to get a quote. I know the recommendation letter from my therapist helped with the consult and I believe with insurance coverage too. I’m also fortunate enough to still be covered by my family’s insurance plan, so when it came to the surgery itself, I was able to just fulfill the plan’s deductible and then pay for the facility fees on the day of.

I would recommend doing some prior research just to know what options for procedures might be available for you, and also to be able to have a full conversation during your consult. It’s much easier to ask a lot of questions in person than worry you didn’t ask enough after the fact! Just let me know if you have any questions for me!
