So i got rid of my nips…
I got a double incision with no nipple grafts and I’m about five weeks post surgery. It’s what I’ve always envisioned my chest to look like and it finally matches it now on the outside! Yay!!
I’ve been euphoric and happy with the results but dear god it’s been a journey. I’ve been told I was mutilating myself, limiting my sexual identity/destroying a huge part of it, going against biological human nature, taking away my humanity, and harming myself. All because I was letting them keep my nipples. I’m beyond happy that I stuck with it because I’ve been so happy with my body since the surgery. I just didn’t realize people had such a strong attachment to their and in extension, my own, nips lol.
During recovery I’ve had to watch multiple family members mourn my nipples (incredibly weird thing to sit through). They’d stare sadly at my chest, while I was fully clothed and everything, after they found out the nipple were gone. I’d have to explain why I did it and all that which helped a bit for them to process but it was a slow process for each of them. Each time was like an impromptu funeral for something that nobody gave a damn about until right now. I get how it goes against heteronormative gender blahblahblah and how it’s considered unusual etcetc. It’s just weird being on the other side especially since it’s family.
They’ve all came around to it by now but it’s just been a strange process in that sense. Did anyone else who chose to go with no nips have a similar experience?
UPDATE(?): Funnily enough, one of the most positive interactions in regard to me not having nipples has come from a very confused person with a nipple fetish to dm me bcoz of this post.
Literally the first person who hasn’t understood at first and then immediately supported afterwards lmao
