It’s been five and one half weeks, also known as one month + one week past the surgery. The healing incisions on the breast augmentation are sometimes irritated if I wear an underwire bra – it’s kind of a conflict since that’s much of what I own and they do a good job supporting the…… Continue reading Hair, and one month and one week

What is gender dysphoria
The underlying issue for someone who is trans is labelled as gender dysphoria these days. Before it was labelled “gender identity disorder”, but there was a fair amount of discomfort with the word “disorder” since it implies something awry. Personally I think it is reasonable to say that there is a general norm that genetics,…… Continue reading What is gender dysphoria
A Month and a Day
Alright, that was not my last SRS posting. Women can be mercurial, no? At this point things are largely pain free. I can sit with relative comfort on some soft surfaces. Swelling is much reduced, which is doubtless a major reason why pain has reduced. I had to visit the gynecologist last week to have…… Continue reading A Month and a Day
Ascent
Last mountain climbed Long years past by As she gazed with aged eye The aerie where her hopes do lie And all the world to save Burdens laid aside at last Her back like an arrow cast Aimed at new beast to slay She waits at the end of day Beneath the sunset sky No…… Continue reading Ascent
And now what?
I participate in a forum for transgender, transsexual people. It is populated by lovely and giving people. Early on I received a great deal of support; now I need a little less and I try to supply what I can. One of the issues that gets talked about is post-op depression. There’s a huge investment…… Continue reading And now what?
Keeping a sense of humor
I had to make an appointment with a gynecologist. It was unsurprisingly my first that wasn’t just to talk to her before surgery so the first real appointment wouldn’t be too strange (where are the smiley faces when I want one!). I’ve been to a lot of doctors and there are many awkward positions available.…… Continue reading Keeping a sense of humor
The Whys of SRS
Why get confirmation surgery at all? I’ve written before about people who insist that getting surgery is some requirement for being “serious” about being a woman (or a man I suppose for the FtM community). My negative feelings about those folks haven’t moderated, no person, regardless of intent has a right to put such a…… Continue reading The Whys of SRS
Lost
We go to find our friends so dear along the moonlit drive Wandering both far and near we call, no answer, why? For years they’ve stood there by your side through thick and thin you trust Then the next page opens wide and still they’re there but just Yet then the changes batter down the…… Continue reading Lost
Three weeks post op
This is likely the last post solely about my surgery, truthfully there are many details that are inappropriate to share either because of my privacy and modesty, or a desire to not publish uncomfortable descriptions. For those who want the anatomical, medical view of this topic I suggest doing searches on PubMed and YouTube has…… Continue reading Three weeks post op
Them or me, partie deuxieme
This isn’t really about trans issues, at least that isn’t my call on it. One of the other things that happens in life is finding out a friend isn’t much of a friend. To my thinking friends care about each other and therefore would care if they upset a friend, would want to know why…… Continue reading Them or me, partie deuxieme
