This blog is the research someone needs all summed up. And the best part is its not what a book tells you, its from the eyes of someone who sees it everyday.
A ftm is someone born female may even live a "normal" female life , but her heart says something else. In her heart it says I am a Boy. The feeling may come later in life, it may come early. I remember Dylan telling me he used to look into the mirrow flex his muscles and thought God confused him with a girl. That maybe he was accidently put in his sisters body.
Now as must of us know you cant just wake up one day and say, " I want to be a boy" and make an appointment to get the surguries.
Steps towards the road of victory:
1. Admit it to yourself
2. Admit it to your loved one
3. Coming out to your family/friends/work
4. Atleast a year worth of therapy
5. Hormones- which is a whole other blog, there is so many kinds of ways to take them, so many effects.
6. (Pre OP) Preparing for your therapies, mentally and phsically.
7. Having surgery (typically one at a time then docters give you time to recooperate then they proceed to the next one.) (Some only have top/bottom surgery)
7. (Post OP) Pretty much now your recooperating and either planning your next surgery.
Like I said you cant just wake up and change within a week. It takes a lot of time and as of right now a pretty penny. But, most everyone that has done it, has not regretted it one bit. Its made them feel more alive then ever before.
Anything you feel I left out or stated incorrectly please let me know. Any comments or questions just ask. I promise no question is a dumb question.
