Letter Confirming Breast Reduction
MOT/2024/NDOTC/BRIS/019
Tag I chose to get a breast reduction as a trans masc (?) person. I never really heard of anyone doing that, just a few non-binary people I found on a facebook page. 3 years on I still think I made the right call, but society doesnt – even queer people don't get it sometimes, and I wory I appear "pre-top". I'm ashamed to admit I felt "more real/an official trans person" after medical intervention which is messed up. I wanted to [scribbled out word] submit this for two reasons: to show people that men can [scribbled out word] choose to have tits, [two scribbled out words] and partly because you can see them [scribbled out word] misgender me right under my Mr. [previous word underlined] affix. The care I recieved was ok at best, despite costing £7568, and I think it speaks to the small list of bad options we often have to chose from.
