Gender affirmation surgery questions


Francesca

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I’ve been looking into gender affirmation surgery for a long time and there are some questions I haven’t found an answer to, hoping you can help me out with this. Some of my questions have to do with sex and things like that, is it okay to just go ahead and ask? Thanks

Hi, Francesca.  Welcome!

 

This is definitely a place to ask questions.  We'll help however we can.  I will leave it to the moderators to say what is or isn't allowed.

 

Regards,

Kathy

You may, of course, ask. However, keep it clinical and professional. We've got kids as young as thirteen on the site and, while they're probably fine with it, we don't need their parents or guardians blocking the site and cutting off their support.

 

Hugs!

Hello Francesca,

Welcome to TransPulse.  :)  It's ok to ask about sex as long as you don't get too graphic about it. We have children ages 13 and up as members here so we need to keep all talk to a PG13 rating. Take a look at the community rules to see what's permissible or not.

Thanks everyone. My questions are for anyone who knows about this, and especially MtF women who’ve gone ahead with the full surgery.

 

The main thing on my mind is I’ve seen lots of post op vaginas online, pictures and videos, but none of them look 100% like a cis woman’s vagina. And, like, I’m not saying it can’t be done, just I haven’t seen it.

 

Could anyone link me to pictures or even videos of completely ‘real looking’ and convincing post op vaginas, that no-one would ever notice any difference from cis female genitalia? It’s important to me to know what can really be accomplished with the surgery.

 

There’s also a big question for me about how strong are the orgasms, and especially is female ejaculation/squirting possible after the op? (It’s a personal thing). Again video links to prove this would put my mind at ease (and porn clips are fine, it’s for research purposes here). Hopefully you can help clear this up for me.

 

And to women who had the surgery done… what does sex feel like now? How do you deal with lubrication? And mainly how intense are the orgasms? Thanks :)

As you can see in my signature, I am 10 years Post Op.  I am under the Post Op care of a Gynecologist who assures me that in her 20 years of practice, that I fit in with ALL of her patients as to how I appear.  I think you mean the vulva and not vagina of the people you have seen, and every person who owns one does look different.  Put the Post Op pictures into what the Gynecologists see on a daily basis of Cis Women and you really have so much variation it will drive you crazy. We do not stand out as anything special.  I know people in the Adult Entertainment business, and their "perfect" female live shots are edited to a standard "ideal" look.  The Porn Star look is not what the medical field sees and all the ones you think are "not realistic" are just about average in looks to professional health care workers.  For pictures of Cis women's vulva's your best bet is to go to a lmedical school's library where they discuss pathology that can occur to a vulva. 

 

Post Op women who had unrealistic expectations of how they would look after the surgery make up a sizable number of the Regreters that anti-trans folks tend to obsess about as reasons to restrict our health care options.

 

Your Prostate Gland is not usually removed during GCS and so you do have its fluid that will come out of your urethra from time to time during intercourse or even just your healing dilations.  Without the load of sperm though it is not as much as it was.  Orgasms are greatly different from what they were as a male and take getting used to, although just being Post adds to the good feelings you have.  Go through our Post Op forum and you will get a whole load of information on what our members have experienced.

Well, I mean a LITTLE special. We end up with more of an innie than most of the cis-female population but, yeah. There are cis-women who have surgery to get an appearance more like the neo-vagina trans-women have. Of course exact appearance depends on the skill of your surgeon so check out their after pictures for a good idea of what you're going to have at the end.

 

Ejaculation absolutely happens, just like Vicki said. Orgasms are harder to acheive but they're much more intense. About the same as your orgasms after about two years on HRT. Masturbate regularly on HRT btw. It helps facilitate nerve development and will get you better results after your SRS.

 

Sex is pretty neat honestly. It's different, but very satisfying. I'm very, very gay though so PnV sex isn't something I've tried.

 

Hugs!

      This is the dress I'll be wearing this evening while we watch the Kentucky Derby. Not sure if I'll throw on heels or flats with it - probably flats but I haven't worn heels in a while and the Force is strong.

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm already on my 3rd cup of coffee and it's just 5AM. I can't imagine why no one else is here posting already!!??    It's supposed to be a cool day here with rain in the afternoon so no lounging outside for me. Our pool was opened yesterday so I'll make sure we have what we need to get it cleaned up and ready. The water temp is only about 60 right now so after I get the algae knocked down and the salt level right to begin making chlorine, I'll turn on the heater to warm it up. Probably a week before we'll be swimming.   Today is Kentucky Derby day so we'll put on dresses, hats and have a Mint Julep while we watch on TV.    Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      I feel like it took a while to land in the 'middle zone', but it did happen. But obviously all those decades of testosterone poisoining take their toll, the middle zone is still preferable to the old life.

      Everything that @MaybeRob said above is spot on with me too. The changes are much more subtle the older you start. I started HRT at 56 and of the feminine physical changes I experienced from HRT, 80% of all my changes happened by my 3 year mark. The other 20% of the changes are continuing still.   The feminine results I still see change happening in include: reduced and thinning arm, leg, and body hair, body fat redistribution to my hips and butt. There may be still some minor facial fat redistribution but at this point it’s getting harder to tell. The facial fat redistribution started after year 1. Also, I’m still on Progesterone which was added into my HRT regimen after year 1. I believe that is responsible for increasing the size and darkening the color of my nipples to a much more feminine look. I was happy about those changes because my BA procedure alone did nothing to improve that aspect of my breasts. I will be getting off Progesterone at the end of this year now that it has done its job. I will be 6 years on HRT this September. I’m guessing I may have a year or two left before all the expected changes will have occurred.   Hope that helps a little, Susan R🌷

      Trans Group Zoom Meeting Tomorrow!!   It’s almost time for another Zoom Meet-up and I’m sure it’ll be another entertaining time to get together with others from our community. As usual, these meeting can last up to 4 hours or longer. Come when you can and leave whenever you want. The start times are listed below.   If you need a Zoom Link, Message me as soon as possible as I will be gone early all day tomorrow (Sat.). I will PM you a link here before I leave for the day tomorrow. See you all next week.   Have Fun! Susan R🌷   From Zoom Host AllieJ: We had 15 at our last zoom of April, with great discussions as usual. When there are this many people attending, we have to be a little stricter with keeping our talking time short and watching for hands up so everybody can contribute. Best is to use the electronic ‘Raise Hand’ so it is more visible.    Trans Group Zoom Meeting Times: May 4, 2024 6:00 PM Pacific Time May 4, 2024 8:00 PM Central Time May 5, 2024 11:00 AM Australia/Melbourne

      Wow, Birdie, I hope you get better soon.  At least the nurses figured out that you're not their standard patient.  Hopefully they treat you right.     I wish my husband would replace our stoves.  Of course we use propane, being way out of town, but they're old.  They are supposed to use a battery igniter, but one hasn't worked in years.  There's actually a hole sawed in the bottom plate of the oven where I stick a match.  And the other one had some sort of valve problem, and couldn't get the parts.  I was hoping for a new stove, but I got to watch in awe and dismay as my husband made a "something" with a piece cut from a roll of bulk automotive gasket material.  It works, no leaks.  But I swear we don't replace anything here until it is absolutely dead.  With my luck, that will be another 20 years on those stoves.      I don't complain much, but I wish I had some nicer kitchen things.  Nobody understands that if I'm serving dinner for 36 people, cooking on sheetmetal plates or using stuff from a 1980s junkyard is a bit....suboptimal.  When I mention it, I get lengthy apocalyptic tales of the deprived life in Argentina or Mexico or "In Soviet Union, stove cooks you..."  Thanks, GF.  Or maybe I'm just too spoiled?

      I do the best I can to 'Pass' and I think I have become better at feminizing my appearance ... But, I have also come to realize that no matter how much I feel I pass, it's more up to the individual I interact with than with my efforts and appearance. If they are self-aware humans they will see me as I truly am ... and then I will receive a compliment, or a 'Ma'am', or just a friendly smile.  That's all I really need.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .
