7months ago I had top surgery. A doctor cut my breast off. They were lying next to me and literally were put in the trash. I can’t process this. My breasts are somewhere now but not in my body where they belong. I miss them so much. I’m having a very hard time accepting this. ~1
One year ago I still had them. Everyday I think about how I still had them one year ago. Why can’t I go back in time? I send the surgeon who did this to me an angry email, but what’s that gonna achieve? They are still doing this to minors. I was just a confused teenager. ~2
Will I ever learn to cope with this? Will I ever accept what happened? ~3

🧵Getting told by therapists and the internet the lie that you are born in the wrong body when you are a child, surely does something to you. I was told this lie when I was only 9 years old, without my parents knowledge. 1/11
I had to undress myself in front of a colleague of my therapist, with me being highly uncomfortable and my parents not being informed about it, all because I was a tomboy who struggled with the mean comments she often got for her masculine clothes and hobbies. 2/11
Telling children they are born in the wrong body is negligent! Ofc a 9 year old believes this and will think something is wrong with them. I, was a vulnerable child and was told the body I was born in was wrong and that a mistake was made creating me… 3/11
