Life Saving Vs Life Changing
Life changing
Life saving
These phrases are tossed around I personally feel
That my trans interventions
Have changed my life for the better but
They haven’t been without consequences
We need to acknowledge as a community
That trans people
Are still at risk for suicide
After they transition, at any moment
In the arduous process much the same way
All people are at risk for suicide. We have a lot
On our minds.
I agree I think
Trans interventions are life changing
The way a proper fitting prosthetic can be
The way motorized wheelchairs save lives
Alas I am not willing
To say such a thing as
My HRT, my top surgery
These interventions are somehow
Life saving, when in fact
They changed my life
And I saved myself
