  • I think it’s a complicated topic. As a trans woman there are many benefits to a number of cosmetic surgeries that I can get, such as dysphoria relief and unfortunately less discrimination.

    Personally I feel everyone should have the option to have a body they are more in tune with. I have a cis friend that wants to reduce the size of her breasts. She briefly mentioned wanting the surgery for the sake of her back, but regardless of reason I think it is always valid to pursue cosmetic surgeries if desired.

    There’s of course the issue of unrealistic beauty standards and the like which impacts us all. For me I dunno how much of my dislike of my face is learned and how much is innate. I’m guessing it’s both. Hormones changing my body made me like it much more so I already have some sense of how much things can improve and how much it improved my life.













  • I’m a trans woman and was not aware when I got diagnosed, but during that process we went through an ADHD mastery course and most participants were women. The course itself covered early on how women are often diagnosed later in life because

    • Women are often better at masking
    • Women tend to be the inattentive kind of ADHD, which does not fit the stereotype and therefore is less often detected
    • Women are likely more often the inattentive kind because of how we are raised

    I discovered I was trans during the process and learning most women have my kind of ADHD was very affirming <3 Ofc, women can have both kinds of ADHD, but for irrational reasons it was still nice to learn
