How Young Can I Be For An Srs


Guest Ariel Mai

Well like a lot of you, my downstairs mix up has been bugging me to the extreme. I feel fake as a boy and as a girl. I feel fake as a boy because I am pretending to be someone I am not, but I feel fake as a woman because I have male genitalia. This is the case for me and I cry almost everyday about it, and even though I start hormones in a week I want SRS next year. The problem is next year I will be 16 going into 11th grade. I plan to do at the beginning of summer so I have time to recover. I just don't know how long I can keep it down there. I understand the requirements for the surgery and I will fit them all by the summer of next year. I am just concerned about doctors with my age. Will thy have my wait, or will they say okay you pass all the requirements let's go. I know I need parent consent, and I know I am ready to take this leap, but I must wait a whole year. It seems like forever, and I do not know if my therapist will say yes or not, which I hope she will. This was more of a vent. Feel free to comment.

That's no reason not to try anyway, Kim i believe had to go on TV and get laws changed/adjusted/bent to get her's done, I don't see why Ariel can't try to do the same if she really wanted. That said, do prepare for the worst (having to wait until 18) and start talking to people about your desire's now. Between you, your parents, your therapist, and whatever doctors you talk to, you may find the perfect set of circumstances to get it done.

Good Luck in your Efforts

Honestly I do not feel as if I would make it to 18 to get it done, I think by then either it would be cut of completely gone by then. I can't stand it I tell this to my therapist every time I go in, I feel as if I keep taking baby steps to becoming who I want, I am ready for a leap already. I know I am being self concerned, but I just want this done as a teenager, I want to know the pressures as a teenage girl. I want a relationship as a teenager with a straight teenage boy, but what teen boy is going to go after a girl with a penis. It prevents me from wearing what I want to, and it hurts to tuck for me, it is just a pain.

No....I never indicated that she shouldn't try.....

Just that the rules are different at this time....

I encourage those of us who can, to push the envelope...that is how changes happen!

Best of luck, Honey!

I would suggest just giving you surgeon of choice a call and asking. Worst they can say is no. However, you do have to have met all other requirements. Will have you lived as a female for at least a year? Will you have been on HRT a minimum of six months? Do you have two letters of recommendation from your psychologists/therapists? At least one must be a psychologist. And finally, where is the money coming from? If you're planning on getting insurance to pay, I know at least my insurance policy had a minimum age requirement of 18. Another thing to check into.

Well I start hormones next week. I am planning on getting the surgery next years summer so I would have been female full time for a year and been on Hrt for a year. My psychologist I'm pretty sure will give me a letter of recommendation for it then. (knock on wood). The money I'll check with the insurance company, but I am pretty sure my parents will have saved up enough by then. I'm not asking for anything over the next year and saving up money, using my bank account money, and everything else. So I am in great hopes to have the money. :)

Ariel, I'm so excited for you!!!!! I bet you absolutely can't wait! :) I know I was just as excited, only now i'm looking forward to SRS. If you have to babe, you can go to thailand or other country and get it done. If you decide to do it stateside, 18 is the law :P

Hugs,

Hayley

      just found a cute pair of denim shorts with flowers embroidered in two places on the front ... daring myself to wear them around family today ... the flowers match the deep rose of the t-shirt I just bought...

      Not to justify it, but this is what happens when folks rely on accepting money from the government.  It just isn't secure!  When the times change and different winds blow, you find yourself coming up short on funds.  Don't trust the feds, don't trust the state.    I don't believe in separation of church and state.  I believe the USA is a Christian nation, but that Congress doesn't make an establishment of which kind of church that refers to.  Reading the writings left by the Founders (who were mostly Christian or Deist), I think it is pretty clear that they wanted to avoid the bloody Protestant vs. Catholic conflicts that had been going on in Europe for the previous 250 years.    I think one huge problem is that we've had a separation of culture and state already.  There's been an abandonment of traditional American culture, or at least a significant change in it.  People often act servile, not independent.  People seek government help rather than taking care of themselves and those around them.  Its like everybody is waiting for an answer, like baby birds in the nest chirping to have something delivered to them from up above.    To me, the federal government has two purposes - to keep foreign forces and influence out of our territory, and to tax foreign trade to protect domestic economy.  They've pretty much failed at both.

      Actually, yes!  Its how I met my two trans friends.  My husband helped to arrange jobs and housing for both of them.  And in the process, they also fell in love, and so far their relationship is going well.  I'm glad to have been part of helping out.

      I am not sure what "it" you are asking about.  The surgery, or the increased urgency of peeing?   I haven't felt any increased urgency.  I can hold it for as long as I used to, I think.  One thing that is different is that, once I start, it is almost impossible to stop the flow.  My pelvic floor physio said I had really good control of my pelvic floor muscles, but it didn't help with that.   My goal for surgery was just to have a female body.  I think I was foreseeing the persecution that is rising now.  Part of my reasoning, though I didn't plan it out clearly in those terms, was that I would be able to pass a strip-search gender check.  I was thinking more about passing in locker rooms, but passing in police lineups may be more necessary if certain political elements get their way.  
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Wow.  That's crazy that somebody just comes onto your private place and starts demanding stuff.  You're absolutely right to press charges.  It seems like there's very little respect for private property these days.

      Actually, my husband has two different job titles at his company.  He's transportation manager, and also one of the project managers.  Its funny because he's got an office in the main building, and a smaller one in the transportation building, and he's rarely in either one.  He's got three site foremen who report to him, and also the shop supervisor and drivers' supervisor.  So he usually spends his days at installation sites, meeting clients, or handling all the paperwork that keeps the transportation side of the business compliant with FMCSA rules.    But he's definitely a truck driver by personality, and he taught me how to drive and helped me get my CDL.  Kind of a backup option for a job if I ever needed one.  I think this week is going to be one of those "all hands on deck" kind of occasions, so we'll probably take a load or two.  I'm looking forward to it.  Its really funny when I'm driving and we get into a truck stop.  I get out of the cab, and I get a lot of stares because of my size and looking like I'm a teenager.  And we get more stares when we share a shower.

      Yep, this thing is a red flag that people should be super aware of on this site.  I've been working from home exclusively for 12 years.  I'm a house cat like that, so this isn't much of a deterrent for me.  I've been venturing out into the women's restrooms a little bit lately, but as is typical of people like me, I'm just in there to do my business and get out.  I avoid that as much as I can and use those single bathrooms whenever I can.  I went over a year without going to a public restroom.  I just don't go out much.   I haven't stood to pee in 7 years now.  The idea of surgery is very, very scary for me (I wrote a book about it).  I'm likely going to do it though.  I would like some evidence from other transwomen of what it is really like.  I'm not one to take plane flights, but taking a flight for that is well justified.  Before my testosterone was blocked, there was a much larger sexual side to M->F transition.  Now sexuality plays a back seat to the idea of wanting to pee like a woman.  It's always been in my mind, but the desire for that has grown.   Respectfully, Lydia_R

      I've gotten to the point lately where I'm thinking of the extension of the separation of church and state to separation of culture and state.  Government's purpose to ensure a construct of civility.  Food, clothing, shelter and justice for the individual.  That includes the roads as far as they pertain to the distribution of food, clothing and shelter.  And "ensure" is different than "provide".   I think that there is no way to truly express yourself or have a good foundation without having a personal culture.  I like telling stories and teaching lessons through my culture, but I always hope that people don't think I'm promoting my culture beyond it just being visible as an option.

      I would imagine the GOPers are holding that by bull in their hand and paying attention to the Trump version with the nine commandments highlighted.

      Having to call the police on a woman that was being a Karen.Was in my shop fixing my car and wanted me to fix hers.Told her it was my personal shop and told her no.Would not take no for an answer and called the police.I did decide to press trespassing charges on her.I knew she was one of those entitled people

      It is scary, (and as you say, thrilling) at first.  But the more you do it the easier it gets.  I dress fem 24/7 (almost always skirts and dresses) and I live in a conservative county of a "red state".   Sure, there are places I avoid, but I have little desire to be there anyway.  It gets to just be part of who you are.   My experience is that most people don't care, some are curious, and surprisingly many (usually other women) friendly.   The first steps are the hardest.  It's similar with bathrooms.
