    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!

    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.

    You know who I feel really bad for? Cis-but-strong-trans-ally stoners. Imagine hanging out getting stoned with your cool transfem friends and always being paranoid about letting a “dude” or “man” or “bro” slip out. Being stoned would just amplify the self-consciousness. And then what would happen if one of those words actually slips out? Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be?

        Becoming a wee bit of a stoner again for the first time since high school really did help me process my thoughts on gender better which eventually led to me admitting to myself that I was trans. So maybe there is more in store for these “strong ally” stoners out there.

        EDIT: That gives me an idea. What if Cheech & Chong, but TRANS??? Just think of the possibilities.

          There’s a lot of invisible normie allies. Though I guess their density varies place to place, and a goal of the reactionary movement is poison them as a well of support.

          I have a bunch of cis women friends who treat me like another one of the girls in the group effortlessly. But they’re also ignorant of various trans issues.

          When I bring up some facet of harassment or discrimination they’re all appropriately upset but also like “wow I never knew about that”

    is there a name for “getting obsessive over emotionally unavailable but kind and pretty women who were nice to you once but can’t emotionally commit to a relationship, regardless of whether they want one to the point where you’ve emotionally destroyed yourself inside” fetish because i seem to really enjoy doing that to myself and i guess it’s just a kink of mine

    dysphoria

    I have to grow my facial hair out for electrolysis and my dysphoria is going hard. Its tough to feel cute when 5 days a week I have to have this disgusting wretched stuff on my face.

      re:

      It’s the worsttt. I hope you can find ways to feel cute during the process meow-hug

      Avoiding my face for a while helped me refocus some of my attention (positively) on other parts of my appearance. Easier said than done sometimes, but it was nice to work on things like style and feel like I’m not just stuck

        Yeah… My face is one of the more dysphoric parts of my body, specifically because of the hair… It… It sucks. Kinda crushing. I’m just trying to ignore it for now but it heavily translates into me not taking care of myself. Like, my facial hair levels are directly correlated with how put together my life is. Not shaving makes everything harder doggirl-cry

    Genderfluid update:

    I still couldn’t tell you whether I am actually genderfluid or not. I think there are some good signs. But also, I am not doing any gender “praxis” so what the fuck do I know?

    My thoughts are slowly drifting from “good ideas for a trans stoner comedy film” towards “what would happen if we forcibly injected Seth Rogan with estrogen over a prolonged period”.

    medical stuff, genitals, looking to be fine though

    experiencing the rare combo of needing to get both my breasts and galls checked out for anomalies. got an initial examination of the breast lump and it should be something non-serious so thats good, same with the galls. happy to be able to laugh about the combo of it.

    also just in case eggman-announcement PSA to do regular breast/teste self exams
