I'm Having Top SurgeryI'm Having Top Surgery

"Written, designed, and illustrated by Rimona Eskayo, the 96 pages of 'I'm Having Top Surgery: An Illustrated Guide for Me and You' interrupt the sterile, dehumanizing realm of the operating room to offer a meditation on the political dimensions of medical gatekeeping and trans liberation."
"Part-essay, part-handbook, and full-on love poem to their community, this project draws upon Rimona's experiences alongside the knowledge of trans scholars, healthcare experts, and friends. Filled with practical insights like the difference between periareolar and keyhole procedures, how to get a therapist's letter of approval, and what to expect from recovery, the work also delves into the personal -- guiding conversations for talking about top surgery with loved ones and offering first-hand narratives from a handful of Portland-based artists, educators, and activists."
