Hi all,

I need a little help from everyone here. I'm a 26 yr old male to female transexual. I've been on hormones for 18 months now and have had breast implants. I'm married and of course my wife knows now. I hid it from her at first then we moved on. She is totally ok with me as I am. Well the problem is 2 months ago she has her annual traiing for owrk where she was gone for 30 days. Well I had my srs performed 3 days after she left. She has no idea I have done it. We haven't been intimate that way in a long long time. We mainly act as lesbians now. I'm getting really tired of hidng it from her as well. I don't know if she knows or not, but she has made some comments about me tucking better when I'm wearing tight pants. The previous time's I've hid things I kinda showed her. But not sure with this one any help would be appreciated. Thanks

In my opinion you need to be honest and tell her as soon as you can. It is not fare to keep anything that is so important to you a secret to your spouse, it hurts you and it hurts them.

Not to shoot too off topic but where did you get the srs done & what was the cost 'cause I am looking into doing it as soon as I can IE w/in the next 3 years & I am trying to find a low cost one. Kinda tight on money.

The cheapest I've heard is a doctor in South Beach for 18 grand. There's a woman in PA what will do it for 20 grand.

In Thailand they'll do it for 10 grand, but once you've added up airfare and such, it's around 18 grand.

The center in CO charges 40 grand.

Now....for the original poster.

This was something you and your wife should have done TOGETHER. She's going to more hurt about you doing it without her there to support you than the fact that you did it at all.

Think about it, sis....you could have died on the table (it IS surgery, afterall) and she would have no idea.

All you can do is tell her the truth. She's GOING to find out eventually and you'd rather control the situation than have her find out accidently. Sit her down and tell her you had the operation after she left town. She's going to ask you why you did it behind her back instead of with her being there for you, and, whatever the reason is, you'll have to explain that as well.

On a seperate note....congrats on the operation and I want to get there one day myself.

You can't die from SRS - not as long as you don't have a monkey for a doctor. Most doctors are not monkeys (thankfully they don't give out degrees in medicine THAT easily)

It's not super serious surgery.

I am going to tell her just trying to think of the best way to do so. We had disscussed it a little bit before and she didnt seem to be against it just that she would miss something. We then agreed there were other things we could use on each other. I was thinkin of telling her tonight. I am home today and I bought a strap on for us to use. I was planning on making her a nice dinner and dressing sexy. I was then going to have her go in to the bedroom with directions to put on what is in the box. Then i was going to come in wearing some lingerie and let her find out that way I think she would be ok and kinda like that way

I agree with Rayne, it was something that you and your wife should have decided togehter and she should have been included. I am afraid that she might feel that you are shutting her out of your life - be sure to let her know how important she is to you and explain why you took the action you did.

As to 'you can't die from SRS', People have and will continue to die from complications in dental surgery - from the time that they knock you out until they finish closing and bring you back, you are at risk during even the simpilist of surgery and after - the possibilities of infections. Surgery of any kind is a risk - the extremely high survival rate of SRS patients is due to a combination of excellent Doctors, Nurces, etc. and the careful screening of the patients. Don't overlook the danger when considering SRS or even cosmetic surgery - when they start a cuttin' YOU ARE AT RISK'.

Not trying to scare, just inform,

Met her for lunch today. I was am wearing just some tight jeans and a cute tshirt.She asked me if I was ever going to have the surgery she said that it looked like I did judgeing by how those jeans fit and told me they'd fit even better if I did then we both giggled. I said I have been considering it she said she thought as much and had been giving it thought and was ok with it. She then commented that she proboly wouldnt find out till she came in and caught me using my new equipment with a man. Thats about it as far as that topic goes I didnt tell her will do that tnight but may have a male friend come over. Yes we do have a open relationship

Sure you can.

People go into the hospital for the most ordinary things and end up dead. MRSA, C.Diff, Staph, etc can kill you just as dead as anything else.

And yes, you can die on the table as well. Anytime you're doing surgery it's a risk. Even something "routine" like taking out your appendix has risks. That's why doctors try to avoid surgery at all costs.

Not to step on your toes rayne but using the appendix was one of the worst choices that you could have chosen as an example 'cause it has one of the highest difficulty ratings from most docs 'cause if it is about to rupture even a slight miscalculation can kill someone. And most docs will try to get someone to get a surgery 'cause it is expencive & will put more money in there pocketbooks I haven't seen a doc that won't try to push for a needed surgery no matter how bad or not bad that it is needed but one thing that they all do is make sure that the patient knows all of the risks about it & understands them fully before they contiue.

Hi,

beside the thing that you do not tell your girlfriend before, I am wondering if you can have sex already? I ask, because if you get e.g. a genital piercing, you must stay without sex for some weeks. A SRS looks a bit bigger than just getting a piercing down there. So what says the doctor about using the new equipement?

Greetings

I'm just worried about what she says when she really knows. I've had women tell me all kind of stuff "was alright" then when they really found out I had done whatever "hypothetical" item it happened to be all heck broke loose. Good luck.

Well I did tell her on Friday. She packed a bag and left. She called me and we met for lunch yesterday and a good long talk. Thankfully she awoke me this morning when she came back home and snuggled up to me. I really do have a great wife. As far as sex goes I have to use a dialator and I am now 4 months post op :-) . I didnt tell her in any different way just sat her down and confessed and apologized and begged and laid out why I did it and how I paid for it.

I am curious as to how you can even hide something like that. 27 days from the day of surgery till she got back. I would think that you would still be soar and kinda hobbling around. Plus how did she not notice the thousands of dollars missing? you saying you didn't talk for the whole time you were in surgery and recovering in the hospital for at least 10 days. hmm it could be that you are a super fast healer but still... If I'm wrong for doubting you I apologize. It just seems strange to me is all :blink:

Sorry for my poor typing skills. I had ment to type 3 months not 2 months and it is actually closer to 4 now actually 3 months and 3 weeks to the day.

As far as the money goes I was able to finance it. I sold off part of my old memorabilia collection which got me 15,000 and I financed the rest. As far as reovery goes I did speak with her a few times during that first week of recovery and like normal till she came home. As far as recovery goes about 3 weeks post op I was still very sore but moved around pretty well. I dont think I healed abnormally fast but I do normally heal pretty quickly and do not get sick to often. I'm a excercise and a water freak which the Doc's always say helps recovery having your body free of junk. Thanks for the questions everyone and feel free to ask away. Again I apologize for my poor typing skills. I was very nervous that day.

You have no idea how lucky you are! My wife left after telling me that she never would and that was after I told her that I would stay male if that was what she needed. Don't do anything else that drastic (I don't think that anything else is) without talking to her first. The shock of your having had the surgery and the fact that you did it without telling her is why she left that night. You have a wonderful wife and you need to let her know that. You also need to be more open with her and communicate - another 'surprise' and she might decide that she loves you but can not trust you - and that leads to 'so long'. Love her and hold on to her - she really loves you.

So glad that it all worked out,

Sally

Hi,

nice to hear that everything went well.

Your story sounds a bit noncredible because of wrong numbers and the point that you did that big step without telling your wife before. So I apologize that I thought that it was a fake.

Now everything is fine, how does it feel without anything left down there? Do you get the result you want? Do you need a second surgery to adjust the female optic? Is it fully functional, mean are you able to get the big "O"? How does it feel that you do not need to tuck anymore?

Greetings

      DON’T ADD JUDGEMENT TO YOUR FEELINGS by Olga Lacroix | Anxiety relief, Happiness, Mindfulness I’m sitting here drinking my favorite coffee, and as I enjoy this moment I cannot wait to share with you the thoughts that are in my head.  Recently, I have talked about how circumstances don’t determine your future. And somewhere along the line, I wanted to explore a little bit more about our thought process. How we discourage ourselves so often from our goals and from the things that we want, because we have beliefs that go against what we want. In this episode, I want to talk about how it’s important for us to learn not to judge our feelings. Aside from being a Life Coach, I’m also a Certified Mindfulness Instructor. And non-judgement is one of the learnings that I enjoy understanding, applying, and teaching. WHY BEING JUDGEMENTAL IS HARMFUL Sometimes it’s so difficult to be non-judgmental, especially if it’s coming from a bad experience or emotions. For example, a client of mine just had a pregnancy loss and a part of her coping mechanism is to hate or be indifferent to people who have babies.  It’s her way of processing the grief and protecting herself from anger and sadness. And recently someone close to her had a baby. She wanted to feel excited for that person but somehow her bad experience was holding her back. Like her, a lot of people cope this way. Some people try to hide their feelings and emotions just because they’ve already judged them as maybe improper or inappropriate emotions. And what happens is, those emotions stay inside them longer, they don’t get to process their emotions, and it becomes more painful. HOW NOT TO BE JUDGEMENTAL When we judge our feelings as bad, our natural response is to avoid it. We go through crazy lengths just to avoid the feeling, but by avoiding it we’re actually growing it. So what do we do? Do not judge the emotion, allow yourself to feel the negative emotions. Don’t mask it, instead embrace it.  DON’T IDENTIFY WITH YOUR EMOTIONS For someone like me who experienced Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD, a common side effect is anxiety. I have learned that the more I try to repel the anxious thoughts, the stronger they feel in my body, and the longer they stay. But when I’m courageous enough, and I say to the feeling, I’m not gonna judge you for existing, you’re just a feeling. I tell myself something neutral. There is anxiety, not I am anxious. Separate yourself from the feeling. The feeling is not you and it’s just temporary. FINDING THE BALANCE Now when the feeling is good and positive, we jump into attachment, wanting that feeling to linger longer and even forever. But according to Buddha, that’s when the suffering begins, when you want to make something last forever, and when you’re not ready to understand and accept the impermanence of emotions. Find the balance in your emotions. Learn to separate yourself from the emotion. Feel the emotions whether they’re good or bad, but don’t dwell in it. It’s an emotion that we need to feel, process, and eventually let go. Through this, we will achieve a healthier mind. STEPS TO FREE YOURSELF FROM JUDGEMENT The first step is awareness. Being aware of the emotion and how you have judged it. This step will allow you to think of the next step to free yourself from judgement. Step two is processing your emotion in neutrality. Go to a quiet place, close your eyes, and meditate. Bring all of your senses, all of your awareness to the feeling. Give it attention and wait for it to dissipate.  The last step is to pay attention to the lesson. Become curious and think about what this emotion is teaching you, what wisdom can you take from it. Be an observer of your emotions. You need to react, you need to fix them, change them, modify them, you just need to notice them. And then you need to open the space, let them be felt. These are moments of growth, these are moments of transformation. And most importantly, these are moments where we allow the emotion to be processed. Reset Your Mindset is opening in January of 2022. A program that helps you with making decisions, set clear boundaries without drama or guilt. Stop the hamster wheel that keeps you in overthinking mode, switching off the mean inner voice and switching on confidence and compassion instead.

      Welcome to the forums, Felix!! It sounds like you keep yourself very busy and have some wonderful musical talent. My wife enjoys playing the ukulele, too.   There are lots of veterans here - not sure if any were Marines, though.   The forum is filled with lots of information, links and amazing people. Jump in where you feel comfortable.

      I just want to mention, where I live there are tons of cis guys your height or shorter. Among them is my dad and one of my professors (who are well over 17 y/o lol), and I honestly don't think twice about it. Every time I go to the grocery store I see at least 4 different guys around that height too. I don't think your height will be an issue towards passing long-term. (Well, maybe it's different in your region, but just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.)   I can relate to the hands thing though. If I ever hold something in front of the camera to take a photo of it, I feel like I have to crop my hands out so they don't "out" me. (I admit that that's silly.)  
    • Roach
      I noticed something like this too once I socially transitioned. I am so accustomed to people referring to me as a guy and using the right name, that socially I feel fine most of the time. This just makes me more aware of how physically uncomfortable I get sometimes.

      Some of them are us.  I view while logged out sometimes.  But I also know that so much of this forum is public.  I really wish more areas were "members only."  I'm aware that stuff I post here is publicly viewable, so I never post last names, first names of other people, pictures, or give my location.  I tend to think my husband and GF would be displeased at the few things I do post here.... and they may be right.   Our times are pretty uncertain, and it seems to be "fox hunting season" out there.

      On May 4, the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles did a whole 90 minutes of music that was all written by Trans composers and all of our singers and musicians were Trans / NB.  Several of the pieces were actually written by our chorus members.  (I was running a $3,500 set of video cameras on the show and am editing the the massive gigabytes they put out today. We had several guest artists either on stage or who contributed material.  One of the artists was Wrabel who wrote the song The Village which he has dedicated to the Trans Community and describes a young Trans child and the problems they had in their village.  The other MAJOR Trans Artist was Jennifer Leitham, a Bass Viol and Bass Guitar player who as a young man played with the Big Bands of the 60's and 70's in her male self into Transition, and wrote an autobiographical song entitled Manhood which tells of her love of the men she played with in the bands but her not really fitting as a man. Jennifer has played with the Chorus before and is always good music fun to have around.  Two of our members collaborated on a music and poetry piece simply entitled "I'll - - " which brought some tears with a promise to Trans Young People with the whole chorus shouting "I'll be there for you, I will be there for you" said for Trans Kids.  (We actually had a few Trans kids in the audience to hear it.)  My video editing program has about 40 minutes to go producing the main body of the edited video which has the actual song clips in the right order.  Next to put in the Title slides and the credits.  The stuff I get myself into.   The concert took place at the Renberg Theater which is part of the Los Angeles LGB Center in Hollywood.

      Hi, I'm Felix a little trans guy from a small town. My pronouns are he/they and I enjoy music and all wildlife, I doodle on all my homework assignments. I really don't know what to say but, my favourite animal is a cow, my favourite musical genre is country, I play electric bass & acoustic guitar as well as the ukulele a little bit of piano and drums (hand drums and drum sets). I like things of all sorts and I like food, a lot. My favourite meal is French fries and a good steak. My Personal Record for dead-lifting is 310 lbs and I like to sprint and play basketball. My mum's a "bit" overbearing but what can you do. I love reading Manga, I'm currently reading Assassination Classroom, I also enjoy reading Stephen King. I plan on joining the Marines after high school and become a k-9 handler.  I think that's all. For now :)

      I didn't use makeup even in my girl form.  And certainly not now in my boy form.  I don't even like sunscreen...it just feels greasy.  I've always disliked putting stuff on myself.  Partly because of the physical feeling, and partly because I don't want to pretend to anybody.    My partners are mostly the same...makeup isn't really a thing for our faith.  But my GF and husband have one particular vanity - covering up gray hair.  IDK if I will feel differently when I start getting some of my own, eventually.

      I'm ftm but I still wear makeup on occasion to cover up my rosacea. Just primer and sunscreen usually. Sometimes I'll fill in my eyebrows too

      I think some of "them" are just us. If I log out, I might come in and putter around the forums for a minute before I commit to logging in and reading or participating. That probably shows as a guest visit.
