    Half my dysphoria leaving the body when I suddenly notice that my breasts have grown and they keep getting in my way.

    I know I made the right choice. Fuck the consequences.

    I love the person I have become. Before transitioning I used to be apathetic about my own existence.

    But now I’m a strong beautiful woman who forges ahead and expresses my thoughts and feelings with relative ease and freedom.

    Even after losing a few friends, I understand that I’ve gained more over the years than I have lost.

    bottom surgery updates day 22

    Went to see my gyne today! Everything’s going well! I have some fibrin issue in the typical spot. The gyne had no concerns. She was doing a study on post op care and asked if I wanted to take part, I did and filled out a survey. There was quite a bit on sexual experiences, and like I cant even touch my vagina properly yet (too fresh a wound) and its still pretty numb from the edema and nerves still figuring out where they all went and doing their job. I still get horny but cant touch 😒, I did get wet though which was… weird. Totally different feeling than before.

    Pain is pretty minimal, I’m walking, I’m living my usual life just about. There’s no way I could work though, Im healing well in no small part due to all the resting time I have and Ive been pretty strict on the 10 lbs weight limit so Ive not even come close to opening a stitch. Im very happy my union got us some serious short term disability benefits, cause this would be very hard to do on my own without that cash flow.

    Having a vagina is way more drippy than I really thought it’d be lol. Stuff feels likes its moving around and sloshing more than I was used to - doesnt help that I have to lube up 4x a day and all the washing and styff. Discharge is going wayyy down. No bleeding.

    I live alone and have no pets, so I just hang out with my pussy out all day in my apartment unless I have to go somewhere lol. It does help that I can be drier without lying in bed or in my room. Im also downtown so a lot of stuff is very close like a library, the LRT, whatever and I can drive now anyway.

    I highly recommend getting a vagina if you want one 👍 Im very very happy with mine! Never tucking again, looking forward to sexual stuff, when I look in the mirror I just feel… like the total absence of dysphoria which I totally underrated to be honest. A friend of mine who got a vaginopasty described it as feeling light - and yeah I agree!

    In the first couple of months of starting to present female I found two really cute and cheap pairs of women’s boots in size 13 and bought them. I assumed this was normal transfem experience.

    I now realize this was the statistical equivalent of getting back to back scratcher wins.

    Cute. Cheap. Size 13. Pick 2 if you are lucky.

    i came out to my long time friend who i’ve kept in touch with but not really had a conversation with in years, and they also came out to me!! :o trans people finding each other like stand users in the chaos that is early life and adulthood.

    Laser session #3 tomorrow and 1 year of HRT next week! The world is such a scary, weird place but a lot of my internal struggles with self-acceptance and dysphoria are starting to feel smaller and smaller and I’m so grateful for that. I’ve made some really amazing friends that I keep growing closer to and I feel gender euphoria on an almost daily basis now :)

    Lots of issues in my life still, whether they’re a result of being trans or not, but I have to celebrate the good when it’s there! trans-heart
