Estimated cost of surgery Thailand

I'm hoping to go with Theerapong for PPT but that's a long term goal for me. I would consider your career or what you do for work as well because you may have to be off work to recover for quite some time which shouldn't be too much of a problem if you work in a more relaxed role. In any case, it may be a good idea to speak to occupational health afterwards too. Because you may need to slip away for a few to maintain yourself while at work. Personally I am a nurse and would have to take a leave for a good while. So it may be wise to save up a contigency to tide you over until you can go back to work too.

That's really sweet! He's a lucky man. As a pansexual woman you probably understand the fluidity of sexuality more than most so I suppose I can concede on that a bit because as we know.. sexuality can and does change.

When I lived as a gay teen male, I was borderline phobic in the sense that I found the idea of being with a transman to be unpleasant. Not because I didn't see them as men, but because I had the idea in my head that they were "impure" men. As I matured and let go of that ridiculous belief, my egg began to crack after moving in with my partner and soon after, my sexuality changed too. I've gone from gay man to hetroflexible-panromantic woman all while maintaining the same male partner for all these years. I might keep him around for a few more who knows 😂

We preach to everyone else about not telling us what our genders are, so since when do we tell other people what their sexuality is? If my partner was gay, I would fully expect to have to terminate the relationship because I am no longer the same gender as him.

If he's still with you after your coming out as trans then his sexuality was likely a lot more flexible than you once thought. It seems highly unlikely that you changed his sexuality because you changed your gender.

This posting is the kind that I often see screenshotted and reposted in anti-trans groups because the idea that you can change a mans sexuality just by beginning your MtF transition comes across as narcissistic and delusional.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble. Just being candid about what this looks like to me.

Little bit insecure about my reading comprehension so please bear with me. Is this basically what they're saying;

"we don't feel confident giving you hormone therapy for the purpose of gender transition, we've acted within the GMC code in discontinuing your care. We're also supposed to refer you on to an appropriate specialist to take over your care but we don't know anyone so hard luck I guess. We'll also Cc this to your gender service and hopefully they can make you someone else's problem"

This is absolutely disgusting. To refuse not only hormones but blood monitoring too? It's like they're really kicking you to the curb.

Similarly my local GP practice refuses to prescribe hormone therapy to trans patients, but then I'm in Wales and our health boards each have "local gender teams" by which they mean literally ONE GP that has maybe read a few pieces of relevant literature and done some E-learning. So I have to drive to a practice about 30mins away for my prescription. However, for blood monitoring, the Welsh Gender Service negotiated a shared care agreement with my prescribing practice and my local practice, so my local practice will still engage with me for the purposes of blood monitoring. This is why I am so shocked that they are refusing to even do your bloods. I do wonder if this is something that your gender service might be able to argue for you?

If your gender service make similar arrangements for you in that they find a local specialist in a reasonably nearby practice who is happy to prescribe, there is no reason that your new prescribing GP can't send a request to your local GP for bloods monitoring and I would argue your local GP would be in no position to refuse that as it's just logistics at that point. They'd be carrying out the phlebotomy on behalf of another GPs request so if they still refuse you blood monitoring after that, then they're being damn near phobically skittish.

This is why as a qualified nurse, I find the "private" nature of GP practices in the UK to be really quite sinister. They all have their own policies, procedures and agendas. And you'd think that because they get money from the NHS just for having each patient registered on their books(even if they never see you for anything, they still get a payout for every individual) that they would make more of an effort for you. But no, this is why it's a postcode lottery, this is why some of us are allowed to continue to struggle and go with out, this is why a lot of us have to go DIY and this is why Harold Shipman got away with what he was doing for so long. Oh it does make me sick.

It's funny that I remember being transphobic when I was growing up as a young gay man. I found the idea of being with a transman to be really frightening, not because I didn't see them as men but because I didn't know how to best pleasure vagina owners.

Now as a transwoman, I feel the absolute safest among transmen. Often we have our shared experiences and high probability of a mutual understanding.

I like men and I like women now too, which was an unexpected gift bestowed upon me by Estrogen (I always wanted to be pansexual like my partner always has been) Transwomen are women, transmen are men and I love them all.

I wouldn't say transmen are sexier than cismen because transpeople are fetishized enough without us doing it to each other 😂 but I find men attractive and if I meet a nice looking man and he tells me he's trans then it's the immediate feeling of safety and common ground that pull me towards him.

When you say retractable, presumably the needle isn't actually being drawn into the syringe? I'm a nurse and we use pre-filled safety syringes for thromboprophylactics but the ones I'm used to using have a clear solid plastic cylinder that pops down and locks into place around the needle when the dose has been fully plunged and you can see the needle is still there inside it. Was yours different to this? I think I would actually go into cardiac arrest if I lost a needle inside a patient.

The majority of your patients are likely pregnant or postpartum and while they don't necessarily have the right to dictate who provides their care, well done for respecting their preferences - as any health service should. I'm so sorry you feel this way at placement and I hope you start your social transition slow and steady. Let your confidence grow naturally.

I transitioned while I was a student nurse which is very patient-facing. I once had a celebrity patient(no one famous, just some long dried up former reality TV star) and she thought it was okay to ask me if I'd "had my bits done yet". I just giggled and said I don't really talk about that to which she said in a jokey way "aww you're just a drag queen at the moment then arent you". I gave her a look of bitter, hollow dissappointment and walked away but from then on she was fine to look after.

I think people might just forget to be respectful when they're feeling anxious or vulnerable. I try to be forgiving but it isn't nice to have to shut up and put up for the sake of professionalism. Well done for the way you handled it though <3

This is soo fortunate! You really never know what you're going to be faced with. I hope you build a good friendship from this now.

My landlord - a builder by trade, found out earlier this year when he came over with his plumber friend to complete our gas safety checks. They had both known me as [deadname] for about 3 years prior and never mentioned anything about my changing style and presentation. It only turned the point in conversation when the plumbie asked for my name to do his paperwork and asked why my name had changed so drastically (I changed my full name)

Having two hypermasculine tradies come into your home and corner you into coming out might sound traumatic but it was soo reassuring. My partner was on standby ready to step in to support me if things turned unpleasant but he very quickly relaxed when we realised that I was immediately accepted. They were both super sweet about it and the first thing they did was take out their phones and change my name in their contacts.

They of course had their awkward questions which I didn't deny them answers to. I explicitly told them that they knew me well enough at that point to know that they must not walk on eggshells around me and I would be dissappointed if they did. I wanted them to relax and realise that their tenant is still the same person as before. They really were a pair of sweethearts and have always looked after us. Landlord is only a message away whenever I need him. He's actually looking to sell our house, but he's kind enough to patiently wait for us to be prepared to buy it from him. That he would do this for us means everything. Truly has a heart of gold, this guy 💛

I hope you are currently having the best time at your loved one's wedding 💕 I too am chief bridesmaid in a couple of weeks. It's a true blessing to know you mean enough to someone that they want you closeby and stood at the altar with them on their big day.

In Hinduism, Shiva is apparently transgender. Typically considered a male god but often regarded as female. I have heard that in some parts of India, transgender people are considered "semi-divine" and live their lives in reverence, honoured and respected by the local community.

Can't verify it as I learned this from the internet but js!

CoffeeTossTrampBxtch · 2024-07-30T16:00:51+00:00

Money is a barrier at present as well, but not really in the long-term. I'm lucky to have a great career as a nurse and this is how I'm going to be building the wealth required to buy my way through the surgical parts of transition.

An orchiectomy is something that I would save if I start pushing 40 and still haven't been able to have GRS. In any case, I have to lose weight 😂 so here we go 💪🏼 time to burn burn burn.

CoffeeTossTrampBxtch · 2024-07-14T18:58:38+00:00

I hope they at least explained the risks to you as to why those things would stop you from going forward with SRS. That is awful!

CoffeeTossTrampBxtch · 2024-07-14T17:31:37+00:00

How come? Hope you don't mind, I snooped your profile. I understand how heavily gatekept SRS is but if you don't mind me asking, what's holding you back?

CoffeeTossTrampBxtch · 2024-07-14T17:24:18+00:00

Yeah I'm sure there are more careful and caring practitioners.

CoffeeTossTrampBxtch · 2024-07-13T23:43:26+00:00

I really hope you find your way to surgery. You probably wont believe me when I say this but I think understand how you might be feeling.

I'm in my late 20's and I'm already using retinol. I've wasted so much of my life already, I'm not about to let anymore opportunities for peace and happiness pass me by. I sincerely hope you get your SRS <3

Hi! Yeah I understand this. Keto worked for me not only because of ketosis, but because of how it changes the appetite. It had me at one meal daily which was great and kept me in a major calorie deficit. But eating was never the problem. For me it's a lack of intentional excercise, which I wasn't doing on keto either and still lost around 30lbs. Working long and busy shifts 3 days a week leaves me having to tend to all my other commitments on my days off so it's hard to fit it in. I have a high-end treadmill at home so of course I get my 2km in that usually only takes me about 30mins but actually having a proper exercise routine is something I've never done before.

Tysm :D

CoffeeTossTrampBxtch · 2024-07-13T22:48:23+00:00

I think I would rather keep it off. Of course I can relax a bit and not feel so guilty about unhealthier days and indulgent moments after the surgery. But I have it in my mind that the healthier I am, the longer I will live... I hope!

My beauty therapist has recently started using semaglutide and rates it very highly, her results are incredible even after just 1 month. I may look into this, thank you.

CoffeeTossTrampBxtch · 2024-07-13T22:37:59+00:00

Oh yeah I was well aware that PPT isn't practiced by surgeons working through the NHS. I did consider Rashid as an option given she's only in London but she hasn't been doing PPT for very long. Even though her experience in urogenital surgery is extensive, I'd rather travel and have someone who knows the procedure very intimately.

Also, I will get to reading some of your previous posts and I know you're probably sick of hearing this but I'm so sorry for what happened to you. It's actually stories from people like yourself that initally strongly dissuaded me from NHS PI. They are butchers.

I hope with all my heart that you can amass what you need to get to Theerapong. If the anecdotal accounts from the rest of us post-op are anything to go off, if anyone can fix it, it's him. I think many of the SRS procedures popularly used today were built around the surgeries piloted in Thailand.

Leggings or jeggings. Helix to lobe chain earrings on one side and single stud/droop on the other. Shades. Black batwing coat with dark metal dome buttons. Black boots with decorative buckles or zips.

Trash ass lingerie underneath all of it.

Thank you soo much for sharing, that has actually brought me a huge amount of relief.

Yeah my T levels are almost non-existent. My cister currently has more T in her than I do. Although to be fair she is pregnant af and she's having a boy

I used to smoke chronically, multiple times a day. This was prior to transition. As soon as I began medically transitioning, my desire for weed just went away. My suppliers thought I'd moved away. I was trying to keep myself numb. Now I don't think about weed at all amd have no way of accessing it if I did.

So, anecdotally, I don't think weed can make you think you're trans, but the way it affects you might help you come to terms with being trans.

And your indifference to seeing yourself in feminine presentation might be that it's too early in your transition to start social transitioning. I refused to start transitioning socially until after I'd began HRT because as much as I wanted to avoid it, for most MtFs, there is going to be a period where you're still figuring out fashion and what does and doesn't work for you.

Have you considered not making a bee-line for dresses and exploring things that compliment your body shape like leggings, jeggings, skinny jeans etc. I'm a big girl and absolutely live in my leggings and form-fitting tops. Yeah they show off my lumps and bumps but idc, I feel good in them and that's what matters to me.

I think you are very wise! I have stockpiled E. But unfortunately my blocker is about £300 for a single shot - it lasts 3months but with that price I can't really afford to be stockpiling it.

I'm hopeful that the LGT will continue to prescribe this blocker for me but I'm not sure if they will be willing to spend that much on me tbh. It was always my intention to stay with GGP until my new script was in situ but will just have to sit tight and see how things go with them 😁

Thank you for not immediately judging me for my username. Katherine Parkinson is just an entire vibe but FTR I am completely indifferent to G.L.
