If everything goes well, I’m exactly five weeks away from my gender-affirming, masculinizing mastectomy!
Having gotten a negative (i.e. OK) result for the mammogram I had on Monday and given all the symbolism in today’s date (exactly five weeks from my planned surgery, winter solstice…), I’m going to start a gender-affirming countdown to my top-surgery, not only to prepare myself for the big event but also to celebrate its arrival.
