So I have a consult for a tracheal shave tomorrow, (seems like a no-brainer and I happen to have the funds) at Zeeba clinic in Cleveland. Which seems to be the only FFS surgeon in Ohio. Either that or the Cleveland Clinic, but my therapist commented may be more pricey, even though CC is notoriously world-class, go where there are less hands in the pot.

 

I also understand it may be cheaper overall to have several things done at once while on the table, but I assume most girls wait far into HRT to see what develops facially before even considering what procedures to get done? I am not sure FFS is even going to be in my future, at least until I re-establish my credit, pay the Subie off.

 

Some recent studies have shown going against historical protocol of discontinuing HRT before surgeries, that there simply was not enough actual evidence to support it was actually necessary, and I would think it would be more of a disruption of the transition process. Maybe it depends on age and Rxs taken, etc. I am early on with basically the minimum dosages of Spiro and Estradiol. 

Not a dealbreaker but I hope there would be very few reasons to suspend HRT, except that the actual therapy itself provided complications?

I had a trach shave done as a stand alone procedure soon after starting my transition.  My doctor had me stop HRT as well.  Not sure of the reason but I didn't notice any trouble restarting.

I really don't know.  It could be?  I've also heard that there are doctors that don't require stopping, but it seems uncommon.

      Society is preserved by passing on proper roles for people, which works for the 90+ percent that it works for.   We were all taught from an early age that breaking out of the classification was a shameful thing, even when, actually, it is not.

      I'm probably showing my age.  I haven't looked at a guest count in a long time.  Doing FB and staying off forums for a while.  Previous forum use had fewer bots if any and guests were actual people, mostly, unlike today.    Any AIs or bots struggling with GD are welcome.  I would love to read your introduction.

      I've seen this on a lot of forums tbh. That's how a lot of content ends up on internet archives. You've got loads of bots scanning the site at all times and archiving it. Forums are actually nice (in comparison to social media) in that the guest count gives you a pretty good idea of how actively the site's content is being archived. Basically just don't post anything you don't want archived.

      Kids are resiliant with therapy and strong support ;-)    They were all elementary age when their dad died and are teens now, and how they've grown and developed as young people, already, takes my breath away.   I'm working on communicating changes clearly and without shame, which is difficult basically all the time because of feeling guilty over doing gender "wrong" for so long. Working on that myself! <3

      Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there.  Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened.

      Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals.  I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant  for insect identification easier than it has ever been.    Now on to your topic.  I don't farm in the nude.  I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others.  The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl".  I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be.   Hugs,   Charlize

      This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post.

      I am also pretty sure that several of them are folks who are "trans curious".  Sometimes folks who are trying to find their own identity, are attracted to trans folks or who are simply interested in the trans community.   There may also be some who wish to do us harm which is why ......... I've just learned to smile figuring "i'm on candid camera".   I'm sure many of our younger members never experienced that show so my age is showing.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Most of those "guests" are web bots from China, Indonesia, France etc. looking us over. They are mostly benign.  All they can see or gain access to are the general forums.  Members should be careful not to post anything that could readily identify themselves such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. They do not have access to our gallery, blogs or private messenger. They seem to haunt all forums. Not just us. I should add that they can make us known across the internet. That's how prospective members find us. Google would be a good example.
