The nonbinary star responds to gender-affirming surgery critics -- specifically those those who wonder, 'What if you feel regret?' -- while opening up about how it's changed their life for the better (via toofab)
Hewson, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, underwent top surgery before the second season of the Showtime series and shows off the results by rocking a black blazer with nothing underneath in a photo spread for the publication .
"I cannot tell you the complete, fundamental shift that I have felt in the year since having surgery. I knew that I wanted top surgery for a decade; it's the longest I've ever thought about doing anything," Hewson explained."The place where I went, I had that clinic's website open on my laptop for five years. It was this impossible mountain: I want that, but I'm never gonna get it. No one's gonna let me, blah, blah, blah.
In the same profile, Hewson responded to critics of gender-affirming surgery who wonder whether they'll have any regrets after going under the knife. "In terms of 'What if you feel regret?': Is the idea that nobody ever feel regret about anything? Aside from the fact that we have complete statistical information about regret rates of gender-affirming surgery and this is an absolute nonstarter, what? Are you also going to legislate against people getting tattoos?" they said."It's just control: 'I want you to make decisions based on my level of comfort with your existence.' That is completely irrational.
