Bottom Surgery Vlog Pt. VII: First Full Day at Home (AMAB & TransAndrogynous)

[@lensolla7777]

I think there's something really primal to feeling depressed after a surgery, even if you really want it. Your body thinks you're in danger and hurt, even if your head knows you're not. So be kind to yourself, it's normal and it'll pass 🧡 biggest hugs Bryn, you're doing great

[@brynnavery]

I love the way you put it “your body thinks your in danger and hurt, even if your mind knows you’re not.” I didn’t think of it like that, but that makes perfect sense. Thank you for being so kind 💛

[@jdthompson01]

Amen. Well said.

[@juliafelicione2667]

thank you for being so raw on camera about the hard parts of bottom surgery

[@brynnavery]

Thank you so much. I feel like that too, that the hard/negative feelings of transition are rarely talked about or are just glossed over. Thank you for validating me 💛

[@jdthompson01]

Bryn. Give yourself some grace. Thank you for sharing your most vulnerable moments. I can not tell you the range of emotions we are all feeling for you. We are so here for you. Cry if you have to but thank you for posting more so we know you turned the corner. Also the(gross stuff) I need to know and others in line for surgery can benefit from the info also. We are here for the good and the bad. Yes we are wishing you more good than bad but all is appreciated. You are my inspiration right now with my surgery just over a month away. But let your friends in. They can be a good distraction. Again waiting for every blog. You are amazing. You got this. Every day will be a coaster ride for a while. Embrace it but don’t feel bad for wanting to get off the ride. I’m sure it’s not all sunshine and roses. 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@brynnavery]

Thank you so much for all of that. It means a lot 💛💛💛

[@briannamurray804]

I appreciate you sharing your journey to become more authentically yourself these past few years, especially now. I’m a lesbian and was out to my friends across the country but being open about that here is harder. Being authentic is a really difficult thing. I have so much respect for anyone willing to choose themselves.

[@brynnavery]

Thank you so much. And good luck to you as well, with being authentic in a place that isn’t easy 💛

[@MaybeGodwillsaveMe]

I love how you can accept that even when you want something, you know there will be things that are unpleasant in the process. You don't deny this reality. You don't force some toxic positivity into the situation. It's not easy to do this in a world that demands you be positive when it is most impractical to be so.

[@brynnavery]

Thank you so much. That’s something I’ve struggled with a lot, because I used to feel like I always had to prove myself, and that if there were any negative feelings, it invalidated me. I’ve been learning to accept what is and work with it, rather than reject it completely. I appreciate you making this comment, it feels really validating. Thank you 💛

A real roller coaster ride of emotions! It is after all a really big step in one''s life. Only a few people will ever experience such profound changes. No wonder that it sometimes overwhelms you a bit, especially when everything is so new. I think you're doing a great job! And just the fact that you're sharing when you're at your most vulnerable helps others immensely. It's important to not only show the good times! All the best for you!

[@brynnavery]

Thank you so much for your encouragement 💛💛💛

[@all-the-spiders]

You're one of the only amab NBs I've been able to find online who did hormones, and watching you recently helped me make the jump to trying them out. I know that this isnt super relevant to the video topic, but I wanted to thank you so much for posting about your medical transition so openly, because its helped me understand myself a lot better, as weird as that might sound

[@brynnavery]

That makes me so happy. And no that doesn’t sound weird at all. I’m really glad my transition has positively affected you, and congrats on choosing to start HRT 💛

[@patricealexander5133]

You are such a beautiful spirit, Bryn, you deserve everything joyful and good. Every day will get better, and once you're more mobile, make sure to reach out to your friends, who want to help and support you. ❤️

[@brynnavery]

Thank you so much 💛

[@Xcorgi]

You said the words UHM and LIKE about 100 times here.

[@brynnavery]

lol I say uhm wayyy too much. In most of my videos I edit it out but I didn’t do it for my vlogs

[@defaultusername9]

you’re so strong and awesome Bryn!! thanks for sharing and being vulnerable, your perspective is super valuable and you’re helping so many people just by sharing and being you. im so excited and happy for you, keep it up and stay strong 🤍

[@brynnavery]

Thank you 💛

[@noelbaum]

Omg i was crying right along with you. It was so hard to watch and not be able to help you. But you pulled out of it and stuff. So that's great. Take your time. Relax. You will be back out and tearing up Walmart and doing stuff before you know it. Sending you hugs. Hey trey!

[@brynnavery]

Thank you so much 💛💛💛

[@jetbuilder]

Thank you so much for making these videos! I came out as transfem/nonbinary 6 months ago. Actually, I sent my mom one of your vids (do nonbinary people transition) when I came out to her to help explain my feelings about my gender. I'm hoping I'll be starting HRT next week. My first endocrinologist appt is a week from today. I've been contemplating bottom surgery. I realized my asexuality (I've been out as ace for years) is at least partly due to dysphoria over my genitals. So far, my transition is going relatively smoothly. Hope all keeps going well for you! *hugs*

[@brynnavery]

Congratulations! Omg that makes me so happy that you sent her my video to explain things, I can’t explain how much joy that brings me. Good luck with beginning HRT, that’s a huge step. Best of luck 💛

[@jetbuilder]

@@brynnavery I officially started Spiro and estradiol patches today! Super happy!

[@brynnavery]

@@jetbuilder congratulations! That’s awesome 💛

[@jetbuilder]

Just realized I’ve had a big stupid smile on my face for most of the drive to work. Lol This is the most content I’ve been in forever :)

[@brynnavery]

@@jetbuilder I’m so happy for you, that’s wonderful 💛
