Those scars on my tummy are the kinds of scars you get from peritoneal-vaginoplasty.
I wanted to show this for Transfem Tummy Tuesday (I am aware it is Wednesday morning. I do not care) because a while back I saw art by a tme person depicting two characters that they wanted to convey are trans, a transmasc character and a transfem character. The transmasc character was given top surgery scars to indicate this. But since the artist apparently couldn't think of any other way to convey a character's transness other than surgery scars, they gave the transfem character big weird scars extending out from under her bikini onto her thighs, apparently meaning to indicate bottom surgery.
It was an obvious and annoying display of willful ignorance about what the results from vaginoplasty look like. One that could have been avoided by a simple google search. But it also aggravates me that people can't imagine any other way to indicate that a character is trans beyond showing scars. But I wanted to show this as an acceptable option if you absolutely have to use scars to indicate a character's transfemininity, for whatever bizarre reason you've concocted.
Yes, they don't always look exactly like this, there aren't always this many of them, and yes obviously not every transfem gets peritoneal-vaginoplasty, not even every transfem that gets vaginoplasty. But the same amount of variation also exists for top surgery with trans men. This at least gives you an idea of how to show realistic vaginoplasty scars. The scars in the area of the vulva itself aren't really visible without full nudity, and aren't visible at all after about a year because they are fully hidden by the labia.
