Jessie, I am just a straight, white, cisgender man. I can’t even begin to understand what it’s like to be in your skin. But this beautiful, honest, and miraculously creative work of art gives me a glimpse. I just wanted to say thank you for having the forethought to make this (especially knowing you had no way to reshoot any of the pre-surgery shots!) But as a 15-year stage veteran this is an incredible work of screenwriting. Thank you for using your talents, and your journey to enlighten and encourage others. Your new face IS beautiful. Your “old face” was beautiful (although I understand why you needed to do this.) All I mean is that you have a beautiful soul, no matter the packaging, and I’m so glad to share this planet with you. I remember seeing you for the first time after Steve Shives recommended your content. I was trying to “clock” you, and my first impression was that you might be a cis woman with angular features. Once you specifically mentioned being trans, then I knew of course. But by then all I saw was “Jessie”. Any part of your presentation that originally clocked as “masculine” had faded to the background and all i saw was this beautiful, hilarious Star trek nerd. The first time I watched Bob’s Burgers and heard Dan Mintz as the voice of Tina, my brain said “That’s a man doing that voice.” Now, even if I’m watching an interview with Dan Mintz, all I hear is the voice of a beautifully weird teenage girl named Tina who I love. Whatever “maleness” you feel, just know that those who know you, who “see” you, just see YOU. I’m ecstatic that you had the surgery and feel more at home in your body. I couldn’t be happier for you. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next. Keep shining that special light that only you can shine. The world is so much brighter for it. And thank you.

Congratulations. I have no perspective on this thing at all, but if you are happier with yourself, then chalk that as a win.

I'm so glad that you're happy with the surgery results -- you look great! Recovery from surgery is never fun, and this sounds much worse than top surgery, which I experienced myself almost 4 years ago. I never had any doubts that it was the right thing for me to do, but I'm so grateful that it was the only surgery I wanted. Thank you so much for putting yourself out there to share your journey!

Thanks for recounting this, I've been curious about this but had no idea what to ask. I mean having wisdom teeth out was bad enough, I'm not surprised this would be worse (though maybe the impacted molar I have would be a complication if I got this? Eesh, that's a lovely thought). Yeah, I'm considering this because I heard of another AMAB Bigender person getting this because it's easier to add stuff to a face to make it appear more masculine than it would be to remove stuff to make it appear more feminine (or even to conceal and hide such traits with make-up). It's more of a long-term think-about-it consideration, but this does help. So...yeah. Thank you.

Can I ask, did you ever have a fear of what changing how you look like (hormones etc) would affect whether people who previously found you attractive would still find you attractive?

Ahh I'm so happy to see the journey you've been on❤️ In terms of the hard hitting stuff, I think the Book that murdered JK Rowling video was the first one really affected me, at least more than I expected

Thanks for covering the initial challenges after surgery including the feelings of, "Oh crap, was this a huge mistake?" I had that for a good month after top surgery. I felt like a Sweeny Todd experiment. I literally could not even look at my chest because it felt so gruesome. Of course eventually the swelling went down, the bruising retreated, I was able to wash the crust and goo away and it looked reasonable. But those initial weeks were rough mentally.
