FOMO and Gender-Affirming Surgery: How Fear of Missing Out Affects Your Decisions

Dr. Z explains how FOMO (fear of missing out) breeds anxiety around gender-affirming surgery and affects decision-making. FOMO is prevalent as gender-affirming care becomes restricted—when something essential becomes inaccessible, it breeds internal anxiety. This happens two ways: witnessing restrictions and seeing other trans people with access to resources hitting milestones you can't reach. This creates existential anxiety and despair. Dr. Z addresses two groups: those who know they need surgery and are waiting (focus on integration work and other life areas), and those still exploring who aren't sure yet (if you're not sure, sit it out—don't rush into major surgery out of fear). Complete bans are unlikely, and trans people have always found ways. Gender-affirming surgery requires inner understanding it's what you need, not 100% certainty but enough clarity to know it alleviates your distress. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT DR.
