Good Day #BuzzFeedFamily! A lot of you have reached out to me on social media after my Top Surgery. You have asked " How does it feel "? and " What does it mean to me"? On January 11, 2016 was my "BIG DAY". The day that I was finally getting my surgery ( Good bye boobs ) Something that I have been waiting for, for a long period of time. I was feeling a little anxious prior to surgery, only because I was excited, and I waited for this for a long time. The day that I been waiting for finally arrived. I was happy that the surgery went well, and my girlfriend was by my side during my surgery. Now, I am one month post op, and recovery is going well. Thanks to my supportive Girlfriend- who you all have met on my youtube channel. She's been looking after me. We have been pumping vitamins, and applying scar fade and vitamin E cream on my scars, and the results in just a month are AMAZING!! I feel so good now. I am now comfortable in my body. I don't have to bind, and wear layers. I can wear white, V necks, muscle shirts which for me.... means a lot! I can also go shirtless- which i must say I am enjoying. I feel confident as the man that I am, it's also such an amazing feeling when society just sees me as the man that I am. #TOPSURGERY to me was my freedom. A new beginning, clean slate. I am looking forward to this new beginning and chapter in my life.
" How I knew I was Trans*"? Hmm... that's a question that i get asked almost everyday. Well, the truth is... I never really knew I was- what society calls " Trans*" I knew from the get go that I was't like the other so called girls my age. I hated dresses, I liked playing with the boys and sports. Again, I was unaware of the term " Transgender" it was all new to me. Growing up in Dubai, I was un educated about these terms and topics and what was going on with my mind and body. That being said, growing up for me was rather difficult, and well, depressing. I felt so lost. I felt disconnected from my body, that something as simple as showering or looking in a mirror was a challenge for me. I thought that I didn't belong, that I was involved in some twisted experiment. Many years throughout my teen years I battled with my gender. When I turned 19, I was happy that I was almost legal ( In Dubai Legal age is 21 ), that I could actually voice how I felt, and the different things going on in my head. But; I just couldn't bare the pain- I didn't want to wait any longer. I wanted to be happy!! So, I started to google questions online about how I felt. I was relieved when I came across other people who felt like me, such as #RyanCassata and #AlexBertie. I looked on transgender sites, and something just "clicked", I knew that it was me. For the FIRST TIME in years, I had a smile on my face. I knew for my own good I had to get back to Canada so I could transition into my true self. Which was a hard choice to make, because I loved Dubai. I decided the best thing to do in the meantime was to come out socially to my friends, and dressing how I was most comfortable. It was easy for my friends, because they thought of me as a guy anyways. Shortly after that, I started looking into coming back to Canada, so I could get hormones, get surgery and catch up with family. So, in a brief note- that's how I knew I was Trans*... By looking online on how I felt, seeking advice and experimenting, and accepting myself for who I am .
