TikToker Dylan Mulvaney posts clip from hospital bed ahead of Facial Feminisation Surgery
Transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney has shared a heartwarming TikTok from her hospital bed, just moments before undergoing Facial Feminisation Surgery.
Dylan shot to fame earlier this year when she went public with her transition on TikTok. The daily videos in her 'Days of Girlhood' series, which documents her transition, have received over a billion views and in one she visits US President Joe Biden at the White House to discuss trans rights.
Now, Dylan is taking fans along with her as she goes under the knife for Facial Feminisation Surgery. The surgery encompasses a broad range of procedures to change the shape of the face to look more feminine, and examples include having the hairline moved to create a smaller forehead, having lips and cheekbones augmented or having the jaw and chin reshaped and resized.
"It's surgery day!!!" the activist excitedly said in one TikTok clip, later posting another as she arrived at the surgery clinic. In a third video, Dylan posted a duet with a fan who commended her for being so open about her transition. PSA: you're gonna need a box of tissues for this!
"I'm really proud of you for taking matters into your own hands when it comes to your gender affirmation," said Mercury Stardust, who describes herself as a 'Trans Handy Ma'am'.
"I want you to take time today or tomorrow and reflect on how much you've grown in your own transition. As a fellow sister, I know it's very hard to do those things for ourselves. We sometimes forget about us when we're trying to give so much to the world," Mercury went on. "I'm going to tell you right now, you are a light for this community. You showcase the trans community in its most authentic form and I can't tell you how much that means to me and so many other people. I love you, we love you. You fight for us every day, even if we do not see it."
We're sending all our positive thoughts to Dylan and wish her a speedy recovery from her surgery!
