You seem to think that it's only okay to start wanting bottom surgery years after transitioning but I don't see why that should be the case. Knowing I most likely want to get bottom surgery even though I'm somewhat scared of it actually helped me get over my doubts and start transitioning in the first place.
Kinda same. I've been on HRT for a while. Like... 5 years a while >^<
I've wanted bottom surgery for years now, but get very anxious when I start picking up the phone to do it. It can also just be hard in the mental sense to push yourself to get something you need, like going to the dentist or whatever. You know you need it, but one reason or another makes it more difficult than it really should be.
I'm happy that I don't mind it too much still being there, but I did think a lot a few days ago how everything would be just be better if it was gone. Hell, if I even got an orchiectomy it would be an improvement. But y'know... Bills, insurance doesn't cover it, having to spend everyday of my life having to help my family out. Just never ever had enough time nor money to really try and work on myself more than just the hormones (╥﹏╥)
Anyways, I wish chu luck on chur journey! ^°^ Thanks for taking your time to read. 🫂❤️
Wow you really didn't need to call me out like that :P I've just started HRT after like 10 years of suppressing my feelings and I'm currently also putting off getting my wisdom teeth pulled. But thanks and good luck to you too!
Yeah that was how i was feeling but others have done it early on. I think part of it was wanting to be sure myself.
