Get Gender Reassignment Surgery

ok, the surgery has gone form “no rush” to something that’s an actual obstacle in my life. not having it is holding me back from doing things i want to do, so i’m looking at having it within the next year or so.

It really sucks that i was born in Ohio, but definitely something to work towards.

I deliberartely took my time in my gender transition, about deciding whether or not to have surgery. I had been close friends with someone who became obsessed with the idea, and had “fallen apart” after the results didn’t match her high expectations.

I realised that I was “overdue” for the op when I visited a friend recovering from SRS in a Sydney hospital. She mentioned that there was another Girl there as well, and when I popped in it turned out to be an old highschool chum of mine! I was envious, and it just highlighted the deep need I had to have SRS.

After that, I spent a year investigating the possibilities and going off and having it. I went to Phuket in 2000 and have never had any regrets about the surgery itself (full story at Queer Stuff

this one’s a no brainer, but if I’m totally honest it’s not a high priority. Sure, it’d be nice to get rid of bits of me that shouldnt be there, but i can get by while they are still there.

I’m in no rush to go have major surgery, and may never have it at all, if i get to the stage of saying “yay” or “nay” to it, and dont feel i’ll get any real benefit, then it’s coming off the list of things to do.
