@ikea_femme I've in some ways always wanted a vagina, and just never thought it was possible. I theoretically knew surgery was possible (but I thought it was actually fake) after *that* south park episode. Once I learned more about it, and I accepted that it was the best I was going to get in my lifetime, there were only a few blockers: How to pay for it, whether I could stand the recovery, and if I would be happy with the results. Those went away by looking at post-op neovaginas and talking to friends. (paying for it by insurance).

At ~1 year postop it's alien to me that I ever had a penis. My vagina is good, the best I can hope for.
