Lore Graham, a born female remove her breast,ovaries and womb to be identify as a man

Lore Graham, from Boston decided to undergo two major surgeries, ensuring that the presence of a uterus and breasts wouldn't define who she is as person, or tie her to a specific gender. More after the cut...

 

Up until recently, Lore lived as a feminine cisgender girl - meaning, Lore was biologically a girl and also projected as one. But that lifestyle never felt quite right, and being a typical 'girl' wasn't a perfect fit. However, Lore isn't totally transgender, and didn't necessarily want to be a boy either - so complete sexual reassignment surgery was not the solution.

She said:

'I felt weird having breasts and I despised my body’s ability to get pregnant,' Lore explained. 'I started taking testosterone three years ago, which improved my mental health and body image but didn’t solve the problem of my chest or uterus.'

So, this summer, Lore went under the knife for both breast and reproductive organ removal - two major surgeries that were performed in the span of about a month. 

Two months later, Lore still doesn't have nipple sensation, but is happy that they can still get hard. Even better, Lore no longer have to deal with 'chest management' while hanging out or having sex, and has found that getting dressed is less complicated.

'If desired, I put on a shirt. That's it. No bras, no binders, no support or compression, no back pain, no worrying about what type of shirt, nothing. It's f***ing great,' Lore said.

The self-described 'androgynous, neuter person' now smiles while looking at the scars from surgery. Lore used to suffer from 'serious anxiety', but now feels relieved to never feel worried about getting pregnant or getting a period. 

According to Lore, who no longer feels stuck in a stranger's body, making a decision about one's own body, independent of what society thinks or expects, is empowering.
