Funny how the itching persisted.

First, Thanks you!! I had itching, but for me that was from the healing, hair from growing back, and moisture from the surgery, Baby powder worked wonders for me. 

Oh the new freedom is a dream come true. It helps me everyday. Thanks, I still have to wait a month for my 6 month. I’m going to check with my doctor to see if I can get it a week before my appointment, so it will be Ready to go over during the Appointment.

Ellora,

You are a great saleswoman for orchie.  You've made me want to get one, and I'm not even on lady meds yet.

And I have been told keeping all that stuff makes the surgery easier. (Think that depends on the surgeon) 

Thank you!! Everyone that I have spoken to says that the full bottom surgery is easier if the Orchie has already been done. One big thing is the healing is faster if it’s been done already. I just had to tell my surgeon that I planned on having the rest of my bottom surgery done on a later date, so they leave enough skin for the lady area. Maybe you should get a second opinion? Plus no more T ! Which means no more spiro, no T to interfere with the E and progesterone! Knowing those things are gone is the best.

Thanks again!

Awww, thanks! Seriously tho! You should look into getting one, at least continue to do the research if you’re planning to do the Lady Meds. Spiro is bad for the body, so having it done would help in so many ways. It’s out patient surgery, and I went home after I could walk to the bathroom and urinated, which I did as soon as I woke up after I woke up in recovery. Allow yourself a couple of days relaxing and frozen peas. I actually drove my car about 24-48hrs later. No heavy lifting for several weeks.

There are so many benefits!

Yeah my surgeon told me to hold off if I could. The extra skin staying stretched makes the creation of the “parts” easier. Less chance of needing to get tissue from somewhere else. I want my full 7” and labia with no issues. I think if it was close to the surgery and I could have my gcs surgeon do the procedure I’d think of it, but not going to Az for an orchie. Lol.

Idk how it would mean longer healing because the orchie is such an easy surgery, but maybe. Idk. I think it’s the first step in the gcs surgery actually as well.

Okay so apparently they can do an orchiectomy from above too!! This leaves no scar tissue below allowing all of that tissue to be used for future surgeries. I may be making calls soon!! 

Ellora thanks for posting this today. You are now possibly the vehicle that got me to this stop! ?

Yay! Very Happy to help you with your Journey! 

I dont know how much of the tissue is scarred, but I dont think its too much. They pretty much left enough/ a lot for them to work with in the future, But I am glad that you received info that will help what you want =)!

In two months i will do another E test, and hopefully I can get good test results. Im not looking for anything drastic, just improvement. Im am happy about the changes physically and mentally, so it will be good news anyway im sure.

Great news Ellora!  Happy to hear things are heading in a good direction. 

I had forgotten we were going to discuss upping my lady meds, and she brought it up as a question, and if i remembered  we were talking about it. She asked me if I still wanted to up my meds, and I smiled and said YES! I am going to be happy no matter the dosage, cause im super happy Im on it period. So to double the dosage, is great! Im super interested to see how my body reacts. Plus in two months we will do another reading, so thats exciting.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
