Fear doesn’t disqualify you. We don't expect you to walk in as a fearless superhero.

We plan for safety obsessively. From anesthesia to healing, your well-being is our highest priority.

You won’t be alone. Our team walks with you before, during, and after surgery. You’ll have people checking in, answering questions, and celebrating your wins.

You will heal. It may not be easy, and some days will be harder than others. But you will get through it.

🧠 Some things you can do:

Talk about your fear. With us, with your therapist, with a friend. You don’t have to hold it in.

Visualize your “why.” Write it down. Draw it. Hold onto your purpose during the hard days.

Plan for comfort. Create a healing space. Ask for help. Prepare your body and mind with love.

Remember, you are valid at every stage. Surgery doesn’t make you “more” trans it simply affirms what you already are.

💌 A Final Note:

You’re allowed to be scared — and to move forward anyway.

Being afraid and being brave often go hand-in-hand.

No pressure. Just honesty, care, and informed support.

You’ve already taken a powerful step by exploring your truth.
