Anti Cosmetic Surgery - Tumblr Posts
Honestly when I hear people say “not receiving gender affirming surgeries will make me feel suicidal” I hear the same thing as if someone said “if I don’t get a nose job I’ll feel suicidal”
It’s a physical insecurity that wouldn’t exist in a vacuum. I’m sorry that you were influenced to feel this way, but surgery will not fix something that is rooted in self-hatred. If you change it with surgery, you will find another insecurity to fixate on within a week.
Also, can we talk about how rebranding gender affirming surgery as some life-saving procedure is just promoting and glamorising a very misogynistic and corrupt industry.
!Important Reminder!
Agreeing to disagree is one of the most important things you can do as a person, especially as a Christian! Jesus Christ loves all and while we might struggle with that we should aim to do the same despite our differences. Unless someone is being inherently evil then there is no point in arguing with them.
For example:
I hate Trump, but one of the kindest and funniest people I know is a Trump supporter. I am pro life but my own mother is pro choice and I still love her deeply. I am Catholic, but my best friend is atheist and we get along very well. I strongly believe in evolution and have a scientific background, but many good people don’t and that doesn’t make me superior or inferior to them. I am against cosmetic surgery and body modification of any kind, but does that mean that I go out of my way to harass a trans person who’s had affirmative surgery or a someone with a nose job or a tattoo? No! We are all God’s glorious creations and we are commanded to love by Christ himself!
