first of all, let me just say that i love your art style.

secondly, as a trans man, i can relate to this on some level. i've been desperately wanting top surgery not only for myself, but because i do not want other people to percieve me as a woman. in my mind, my chest is an inescapable reminder of the prison of a body i was born into, and i still struggle in thinking that people i know think of me as a man only to please me. i can't seem to wrap my mind around the idea that i can have a chest like this, yet still be a man, because i so desperately want to pass that i can't even comprehend passing before i can get top surgery. i dont know if any of this makes sense. i feel like perception of our bodies can cause a lot of dysphoria for trans people, more than if we somehow lived in a vacuum where no one was judging what we look like or if we pass.

thanks for making the zine, it really made me think about society and gender expectations in a way i struggle to articulate

hey, thank you for such a long and thoughtful comment. i do feel like my venn's diagram of transition experience with trans men is almost a circle, hehe. i feel the most support and same experience in support groups of transitioning men

it's a really difficult topic to think of, and its painful to think of how society and the experience of transition changing throughout generations can cause such a painful relationship and dissassociativieness with our own bodies. i try to be kinder, and i try to find myself in my body thats not affected by cis people, but by love from other trans people ... its made dysphoria easier, and also more difficult at times. but it feels like a kindness to try not to think of transition and your gender being dependant on that one thing on your body, it is atleast kinder and easier going towards surgeries when treating one self with kindness

im rambling! eitherway i wish you good things and health and support in your journey my trans sibling, it is rarely not a tough one but it is much easier to go forward with people with the same experience and feeling paving the way
