    yes, there was actually a recent case of someone posting about their DIY orchi in a 4tran community on Reddit - I think they were in Europe.

    But regardless, the 4tran community seems to talk about and “support” DIY surgery to an extent other trans communities tend to either not or actively suppress, at least from my experiences in online trans communities. It’s not like the community is delusional about the risks, but there is a respect for people who go through with it, and a tendency within the community to share resources on how to go about DIY surgeries like that.

    I’ve also seen trans men express frustration with their situation and inability to go through with a DIY orchi the way trans women would be able to, etc. - again, interactions I’m not seeing as much elsewhere.

    In general, 4chan is more “id” and these sorts of topics that would be taboo elsewhere are free to find expression.

        Bottom surgery is so expensive sometimes DIY is the only choice. I think folks that do DIY surgery are heroes. They’re showing the government what the consequences are. That the dysphoria is worse than the pain.
