Hello everyone, 
So far I have only told one of my friends about being FTM.
I'd like to tell my doctor soon, but I'm worried that I won't be taken seriously because I don't want to start T.
Can I get top surgery without T? And is bottom surgery possible without it?

Here is the official copy of the new standards of care

It will be available on the WPATH website as well later today. Pass this info on to your friends within the community as well as providers.

Sorry if this is a silly topic to post about, but I need to figure out how to become comfortable using the men's bathroom. Right now I can't do it without getting so scared and embarrassed that I feel like I'll pass out. I am so worried that people will notice how feminine my face looks, or how small my hands are, and call me out for being a girl ( Read more... )

I had top surgery with Garramone on Tuesday. Everything was perfectly fine the first few days, no complications or side-effects from anesthesia. Friday evening I started feeling ill, with a persistent headache and nausea. It got worse yesterday and I have thrown up the last two meals I tried to eat, last night and this morning ( Read more... )

 I looked through the tags and couldn't find this specific instance or question. My chest is huge and I will start T soon. Basically I have settled on having surgery by Brownstein, but that won't be for some time. I have insurance and with my back problems can very likely have a breast reduction, but definitely no sculpting. So my question is ( Read more... )
