Wuz up All,

I have scoured the web and can not find one example of this doc's chest work for FTM's. He is very well known...just feels odd..that folks like Garramone and Fischer and Brownstein...can be found all over you tube and every where else.

Had a phone consult with him last week. Just trying to do some investigating.

Peace

He is well known for working with trans women.

This is the first I've heard of any mention of him working with trans men. He's probably very new as far as procedures for trans guys. I would advise going with someone with LOTS experience in chest reconstruction. Translation: Don't be a guinea pig for Dr Z to practice on.

thanks for the feedback y'all. Leah I believe you are correct. Not to mention that his price is a bit out there compared to some others.

Hey Y'all,

I did request photos of Dr. Z's work and I was told "there are no photos available online". There was no mention of whether or not I could even see them at his office. Also, I asked if he had a patient referrer list. I was sent the name and email of ONE patient. Which just felt a bit bogus to me. A few days ago I received the folder from stuffed with his quote for surgery, his lengthy curriculum vitae, and many pages of articles and such that he has written. I am taking Leah's advice most definitely. I have a phone consult coming up with Dr. Garramone....and face to face consult comind up with Dr. Fischer.

Be Peace

I think that no photos available except for one patient and just articles that he has written sends up red flags for me.

Most of the doctors may not have a lot of patients that want to be used as references but most have websites with testimonials and photographs and articles that have been written about them as well as the ones that they have written,

Seems like he is very new to this area, he might be very good but I would like the experienced surgeon myself.

Love ya,

Sally

Yes, I would definetly want to see more that one photo of one patient. Remember this is serious stuff and you should look around for someone with lots of Testomonials and References.

      Thanks Davie! And don’t worry, I didn’t take it that way. It’s just such a big topic I can only hope to tackle it one bit at a time.

      This is not uncommon.  I started out going to the therapist in androgynous clothing: from the women's department, but plausibly masculine.  What made it easier was when I started going to a trans peer support group.  Most of the people there were presenting fully feminine, so I looked out of place in my androgynous clothing.  The peer pressure made it easier to dress in skirts.   I started out changing in a gender-neutral bathroom near the meeting room.  But I soon started wearing skirts in the car to and from the meetings.   Yes, it was nerve-wracking at first, but I soon realized that no one was looking and no one cared.    You can do this.

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care. The Endocrine Society and American Academy of Pediatrics respond, rejecting such arguments. —Erin Reed https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/endocrine-society-and-american-academy?publication_id=994764&post_id=144592467&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true

      Congratulations on your new family member!

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.
