    I honestly don’t get why you would prioritise a “top surgery” (whatever that is, sounds like something cosmetic) over a surgery to regain your mobility though?

      They are female to male so top surgery is breast removal, technically cosmetic but vital for mental health. Whether they were able to get a mobility surgery and chose not to I don’t know.

        Yeah when it’s a question of mentally being able to do things or physically (especially when you don’t yet feel the immediate need to do physical things), it can be easy to prioritize the mental.

      Maybe his tits were so big that top surgery did improve his mobility! I knew a woman with a walking impairment (basically a permanent limp) once who was seriously thinking about a breast reduction for that reason - hers weren’t absurdly large, but large breasts just don’t mix well with permanently limping.
