less creepy, oops

glad you got to do a thing but oof wish strangers could be less creepy.

attacks

No but those sound pretty good

i like the way you think!

more boobs more better

I don’t, it’s not better than simply thinking about things myself. There isn’t institutional pressure to use it and if there was I would simply lie and not use it.

I had vaginoplasty so there is no extra skin. It was in the US. The initial recovery was roughly 8 weeks. I had insurance cover part of it, out of pocket i paid between $10k-$12k USD. I was on estrogen HRT before and after the procedure. There were no additional long term medications as a result of the surgery.

For an orchidectomy I’ve known a few different people who had one. Some while waiting for further gender affirming surgery others not. The recovery time is a couple days and it was easy and quick to schedule. Wait times for orchidectomies are much shorter. I think it depends on how they do the surgery whether or not there is extra skin. I believe the scrotum does shrink over time either way. This can be a factor if you want to pursue further procedures down the line. It won’t prevent them, just can change what techniques will work. not sure on orchidectomy price but it should be much lower than vaginoplasty since there’s no hospital stay involved.

I think generally WPATH8 guidelines call for being on HRT for about 6 months prior to any sort of gender affirming surgery so if you are not on HRT (and perhaps don’t want to be?) that may be a factor as well.

I have and I don’t miss them, what sort of things do you wonder about?

Eh not really. Especially if you had a couple of weeks for any bruising to heal. The main stuff that sticks around is mostly already internal or is just skin.

I got a couple different names that I’ve chosen for myself.

One is a woman who left everything she knew to find a better life for herself.

One was chosen to be similar to pronounce to my deadname but different enough to be a clear break. I followed patterns my mom used in naming all her kids, somewhat in hope that she would accept the real me.

One was chosen keep my middle initial the same to avoid having my username in a bunch of places be dysphoric and as a way of saying to my dad I hoped he’d still be proud of me some day.

And one was chosen by 18 year old me one day when I was starting to build my online presence. It was truly the first name I gave myself, even though I didn’t know I was doing that at the time. Turns out that’s the name I prefer to go by the most. Not sure how I got it in one.

so true besty

It’s very worth it.

I think take a while to simply enjoy the friendship. You’re just off a messy relationship and you got to take time to solidify your life for yourself. It seems like both of you are relatively stable so you shouldn’t feel rushed. Give yourself some breathing room.

ty
