Yes, the title is blunt. The reality was quieter, stranger, funnier, and far more profound. A diary of surgery, recovery, bone broth, piggy trotters, and finally feeling at home in my body.
Awesome thanks Stevie, have been waiting avidly for your post, postop. So happy for you and hope you have a speedy recovery and enjoy your new body. It has been so helpful understanding all the details.
What makes this land is how unceremonious something so life-changing can feel once you’re inside it day by day. The body, the recovery, the absurdity, the relief — all of it gets to be real at once.
You seem confused about female anatomy, not that you are alone in that. The vagina is the passage from the introitus to the uterus in the female. It is not the word for the external female genitalia. That word is vulva. If you had a catheter removed from your 'vagina' they'd put it in completely the wrong place.
I do hope you are happy with your body, you've undeniably put it through a lot but you are not now and never will be a woman. You can't make the rest of the world go along with your fantasy.
Oh, dear Lord, you are totally unhinged. Who is telling me no, by the way, to all of this? I'm a free agent with free will, and I can travel the world and spend my money how I choose with surgeons I choose to spend it on to do whatever I choose to myself. Who is this overarching authority that's telling me no, you unhinged crazy bat?

Congratulations. The writing is an inspiration. And informative. And thanks for sharing this personal event in your life.
Today is my day 👩 after a long journey … piv

Sorry, love, you're not getting the oxygen of a reply. Goodbye.
P.S. I didn't even read what you wrote.
