George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽Important to consider!
Evannakita@georgetakei Part of it is that gender-affirming surgery takes a *while* to get, plus a ton of pre-surgical work. I was on the waiting list for three years, and then I had to do weeks of electrolysis (which could get quite painful), and I had to fly to another state for the procedure. I had *every* opportunity to question how much I actually wanted this—and if I was going to regret it, I’d have changed my mind long before it was too late. (1/2)
@georgetakei Another thing that’s important to understand is that “regret” can mean a lot of things. Like, if I hypothetically regret getting surgery…maybe I regret how much time and money went into it. Or maybe I regret not going for a different kind of surgery, since there are a lot of different ones to choose from. Perhaps I regret choosing that particular surgeon. Or I might regret the backlash from horrible people.
But none of that would mean missing my former parts. (2/2)
