Post-op

I wasnt going to post about this till i was done, so i was dark on social media on TDOV, but today i underwent a vaginoplasty.

To get here, it required jumping through a lot of hoops, and a mountain of planning and logistics and research. at times, it felt like going through that hallway in Get Smart! to get to here. its beena gauntlet of referral letters, doctors visits. scoping surgeons, and just personal stress. and of course, like 40 sessiins or so of walking through literal doors and getting the hair in my groin area shocked and plucked. it felt at times like i was never going to get a date and that i never was going to get here. but it turns out there actually is a vagina at the end of the table. ifee ar leace, i feel free.

doing this in this political background feels like im getting in right before some door closes, and i bring this up because its wholly absurd that its being asserted that theyre casually giving these surgeries out to unwilling children (other than intersex babies that cant talk, they’re happy to perform those ). this is a very long road with overhanging thorns.

but im out, and ready to start a very specific recovery process. i will be on bed rest in San Fransisco for a month. My partner has been a constant help and shoulder to cry on theough this, and I trust her more than anyone alive

this is the post i can manage from this outtake surgery bed. thank you everyone
