One week until #orchi . And bottom #dysphoria is re-emerging like a regrown Hydra head. It feels like it's back with a vengeance (for now)...and I HATE it.
Fortunately, I also feel as though it'll be a gigantic relief once I wake up from the IV and see that the awkward bulge-causers are no longer there.
I'm at the point where I feel as though I should get the ball rolling [no pun intended] on #vaginoplasty while I still can.
I'm also glad I banked sperm before starting #HRT. I am less on-the-fence on at least one bio-kid (provided I'm with a long-term stable partner who feels the same), so I'm glad I didn't slam the door shut. I'd probably prefer carrying a child myself, but I've begrudgingly accepted that isn't in the cards for any #transwoman alive today. So I made do with what I could.
But I'll be out of work for 3 weeks following surgery. And I've offered any #trans friends locally to visit me at my house to check up on me while I'm recovering.
