i'm so sorry your familly is not supportive. I just wanted to say, you seem like a good person and i've happened to see a few of your videos lately and they feel good, even when you're talking about your "negative" emotions, it's inspiring to watch you process them. I also looked at your small post-op video and i just wanted to congratulate you on doing it, even tho you had fears and anxiety, you knew what you needed to do for you and that's admirable. I hope your recovery goes well

As a black non-binary trans masc person who is currently living with homophobic transphobic religious parents I would love to hear how u deal with unsupportive parents and how u are navigating those feelings. I have not come out to them but I plan on starting my transition when I move out. I fear their disappointment and also losing them as well. It’s a lot and it’s something that is always on my mind. Luckily I have my gf who is the first and only person I have come out to, she is really all I have. The only one who knows me for who I am truly and loves me and supports me no matter what. I already to decided to live my truth and be happy no matter what but ik it’s easier said than done. I love your video please keep bringing up these topic they are so helpful and there isn’t enough content out there like it. So thank u!

This was such a helpful and validating video! I'm having surgery in the spring and listening to you talk about and work through the same concerns that I personally have means so much. It made me feel...not alone. Thank you❤

[@mavmagick]

It’s good to know I’m not alone either. This was such a huge decision and I think I was scared to let it fully sink in and when it did… WHOO it hit HARD! Hang in there my friend. You got this!

[@Androgynary]

I resonated with all of your thoughts! It’s comforting to know that there are other people that share the complexity & layered feelings that come with top surgery. I’m looking forward to having a flat chest, but like you said, there’s a lot of fear & internalized transphobia to deal with. Then I feel guilt because I’m like, if I really wanted this procedure, I would only feel confidence & excitement about it…but like…change can be hard. Even if it’s right for you. Anyway, I’m still waiting on a scheduled date for my surgery, but I’m sending you safety during yours 🤍

[@mavmagick]

Thank you so much. This is a really complicated time for people getting a life changing surgery. I honestly felt a lot of guilt for having these feelings but sharing my thoughts and processing with supportive people has helped so much! Wish you the best as you wait❤️

[@blablablair1]

Thank you for sharing where you’re heads at with honesty. Major surgery is a big scary deal even if you do want it. I resonated a lot with your worries about future parenting and what may look like. In the end, your body should feel like home, however that is, and when you get to a place where it does, life only blooms from there. Best of luck on your surgery 🧡

[@mavmagick]

Thank you so much. I appreciate the supportive words! It’s nice to know I’m not alone in this❤️

[@blu_edic4730]

Sending you good vibes and good will.. I hope everything goes well for you. I totally understand the fears and the complex emotions that you are going through and I hardly hear this perspective on surgery and the anxiety around it.. I'm really grateful Being on the waiting list is hard and I'm thinking ahead of myself so I don't know how intense these emotions will be..

[@mavmagick]

Thank you so much. Thankfully I’m healing from surgery right now:) take time to process these emotions. There will be some big emotions my friend. Don’t worry the emotions will pass. Just allow the experience. Sending you love ❤️

[@madusername]

This is something I've really really been struggling with, thank you for talking about it and validating these feelings.

[@mavmagick]

I really was so embarrassed of these feelings but I am learning that there is so much beauty in being authentic. Keep your head up my friend. ❤️
