<div>Hello, for those who don’t know me, I’m Thalia or Thali (no pronouns/it/they).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been aware of my identity in one way or another since kindergarten, and one thing has always been certain to me: I can’t live comfortably in a body that dictates my gender expression.
</div>
<div>I’ve struggled with chest dysphoria for over 15 years, and I made it my goal to restart my life before turning 30.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. I ended up with a surgeon who didn’t understand my needs, despite me communicating them clearly.
</div>
<div>What was removed was the bare minimum, leaving me with essentially the same chest volume, only reshaped.
</div>
<div>As a result, I no longer trust returning to the same surgeon, and a free revision was never offered either.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To be transparent, I originally requested a non-flat top surgery, meaning I wanted only a minimal amount of tissue left.
</div>
<div>What I know now is that I won’t move forward with anyone who isn’t genuinely experienced with trans surgeries and informed about different identities, regardless of promises made.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, my family isn’t able to support me financially or emotionally for a second time. Mentally and emotionally, this experience has been incredibly difficult, especially dealing with the feeling of having “tried and failed.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I don’t have a large network, so even sharing this helps more than you know. And if you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it genuinely helps keep things moving forward.
</div>
<div>Once I’m through this and financially stable again, I’d love to give back however I can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For now, thank you for reading and for any support at all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
