Thanks, dear. That would indeed be wonderful. Both of our Thailand experiences were incredibly positive. Such good care they provide, along with a genuine concern for the patient. The trip itself is expensive, but overall it's well worth it. All our hugs, Stephie and Stephenie
Hi Sis .... he both of us would be so honored to be there for you. There is so much going on right now as I prepare for yet another fear buster, as I go through FFS on May 18th. My pre-surgical visit includes many questions and expectations to reflect on with the doctor and surgeon, as I want to make sure that I will finally see myself through the testosterone tuffened reflection I have dealt with for so long. The experience of being corrected was worth every waiting moment. Love and Hugs Me
I really appreciate your comments about having SRS how you felt before and after. For years, I have felt that SRS was not necessary that I am a woman with out surgery. Lately, SRS has become much more important to me in feeling complete as a woman. I guess I am just slower than the two of you and have followed what you went through. Thanks again for your influence on me. Love Cathy
Thanks Jamie..You're right, there are many degrees of correction which are influenced by individual social surroundings. This often blurs ones ability to focus on why they feel incorrect. In all, accumulation of significant signs which inflict you can produce dramatic results in the self identification process. Availability, quality and affordability of procedures play an important role in seeking desired corrections. Indeed, there are more MTF Transsexuals seeking correction than FTM. Big Hugs
I can only speak for myself, of course, but when I first started my transition, I thought to myself, "Here I am at age 62, why bother getting SRS?". But, what happened is that need got stronger, and Stronger, and STRONGER as I progressed thru transition. Now, in hindsight, I realize I NEED TO BE CORRECT! Thus, the facial hair removal, and an upcoming FFS procedure, and the VERY big emphasis on having my body look as good as I can possibly manage. Gosh, I wasted sooo much time being incorrect!
Hi Cathy. Many now prefer the use of GCS Gender Corrective Surgery over SRS. We do not reflect on having been reassigned a sexual identification, but instead corrected. Indeed, we as TS are trapped women without corrective surgery. Society still down plays those seeking reassignment in the transgender umbrella, but are more accepting and tolerant toward Transsexuals who are seeking correction.

There is a UA-cam issue with files. We have been trying unsuccessfully to upload since last Thurs. Even though we are OK on the account, the video (18 minutes) errors out on the 15 minute limit. We're OK but busy getting ready for upcoming FFS events. Hugs, Stephie and Stephenie
It IS interesting. Everyones needs are quite different; there are different degrees of Transsexualism. You can get a feel for this reading the WPATH "Standards of Care". I can't really speak for FTMs, but at our current "state of the art", a fully functional and realistic penis is still problematic, and THAT might be driving the overall correction process. I liken it to my own case... I would LOVE to have fully functioning ovaries and uterus; be able to have a baby. But alas... sigh. Hugs,
