    saw a tumblr thread where there’s only 5 certified transmasc top surgeons so all the UK transmascs would gossip about where they got their top surgery done, and my question is: was that true? and if so, is it still the case?

      I think it’s a little more than 5, but yeah, there are only a handful, maybe 10 or so. This is otherwise 100% true.

      The moment I or any FTM friend of mine mention top surgery, the discussion immediately changes into which surgeon and why.

      And the gossip travels far! I haven’t had surgery yet, but I have my surgeon picked out already, and so many trans guys without any firsthand experience feel the need to tell me that he is an asshole. (I do appreciate the heads up; it’s just that I kind of don’t care bc his results are awesome.)
