Hi Trans Jayce Nation! Thanks so much for your patience with or delayed gender affirming surgeries posts; life has a way of getting interrupting the most fun stuff (like transing Jayce!).

But, without further ado, here are your transfem affirming procedures! Transmasc coming to you soon 🥰🏳️‍⚧️

bsky.app/profile/tran...

We know many participants are trans themselves, but we wanted to be sure we posted something fun & informative, just incase anyone in the TJN might need it. We hope you use the coming info to help us trans this champion!

Happy transing~!

An info graphic on a translucent blue background over blurred, hand drawn flowers. There is a chibi Jayce Giopara in the upper right hand corner with a white exclamation point next to him. The top and bottom have linear vines with alternating yellow, orange, and pink flowers on them. There is a white title and four white flowers as bullet points with blue text. The title of the text reads: GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERIES The bullets read (in order): • Gender affirming surgeries are procedures that help align physical appearances with their gender identities. Medical necessity usually varies based on dysphoria severity, but it's not a prerequisite. • These graphics are grouped by "masculinizing" & "feminizing", but are in no particular order, as there's no "correct" order to follow to transition. Everyone's journey is different! • Theses graphics are not comprehensive, nor medical advice. They're overviews designed to help authors & artists consider daily living, healing, emotional impact, & aesthetics of each procedure. • Please feel welcome to include any procedures in your work(s), but consider further reading before doing so to ensure accurate representation.

Hi Trans Jayce Nation ~
