Question of the week:
Question: " I know you've dealt with this topic before, but I'm currently struggling with the op/no-op question. I know I'd LIKE SRS, but I'm not sure I really NEED it in order to be happy. Money is definitely an issue, and I'm not sure that looking good in spandex or a tight skirt is enough of a reason to spend years saving up as much as ten grand plus and accepting the risks that come with going under the knife. On the other hand, I find the idea of being physically female as well as living as one very attractive, and, due to an ironically large male genital endowment, creating a visible appearance of femininity below the waist is often quite uncomfortable for me, as well as difficult to maintain without constant adjustment. Nancy, I know you're non-op, and I'd be interested to know how and why you came to the decision not to seek surgery, and what you think I, or anyone thinking about SRS, should be considering when making this decision. Thanks for your help...I'm really on the fence about this. " (from: Becky Juro, North Brunswick, New Jersey) |
