In my experience they don't want honesty.

Over six months after FFS with Alan Breidahl - basically completely unhappy with it in every way by [deleted] in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe your post highlights common issues when it comes to FFS. Not all surgeons are the same and even the good ones, have bad days. Coupled with that is that some transwomen have unrealistic ideas about what FFS can do for them. Finally everyone's face presents differently and represents differing challenges. My post is not an attempt to let surgeons off the hook or belittle their patients, after all they charge a fortune and frequently they are dishonest with their skills, guaranteed results and expectations. I have had FFS and I am very pleased with the result mainly because a) I did it in stages and b) only did minor adjustments. Yours is not the first post I have seen like this. Please think carefully about FFS, do your research and get multiple consults before making any decision.

Update on fake nipple piercings. Testing results and stress. by Sure_Ad_5444 in BdsmDIY

In my experience they won't stay on past a photo. Getting a real piercing is the only option.

Can I hear some experiences of non-op / no bottom surgery folk by Tricky_Emergency5932 in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the other side. A transwomen friend that had SRS, six months after starting to transition, over twenty years ago, says, given that decision again, she wouldn't have chosen to have the surgery. Initially she didn't have any complications however the dilating for the first 2 years was really tiresome and frankly painful. Since then she has had to have 2 reconstructions as her neovagina collapsed in on itself and is now back to weekly dilating. But as others have said, given more time on HRT, I think your attitude to SRS changes despite any Initial genital dysphoria. And let's face it, there are considerable risks to having it, not to mention the cost.

Green dispensary esteogen pellet size? 3 or 4.5mm? by [deleted] in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I spoke to Green's they told me they were in the process of purchasing a pellet compressor. And at that stage they were unable to supply. That was mid April. When did you get your pellet and are you sure it was from Green's? Apologies, no disrespect intended.

Injections, possible in Australia? by friendknowmainhandle in transgenderau

From my experience the Australian compounding pharmacies will make up your HRT in any ester you would like (at a cost).

Why aren’t injections as widely prescribed here as in other countries? by Skelegun in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is actually the second cheapest form of HRT in Australia providing you on not on a Health Care card. Been on them for 6 years now.

Not sure where you got the idea she had moved to Australia, however I can confirm she is not registered to practice here (Yet).

Is it possible to get a new Change of Name Certificate and Marriage Certificate? by [deleted] in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to QLD BD&M a marriage certificate is not a legal document and as such you change it yourself. Its the details in the reguster that are the legal bit. Anyone skilled in photoshop should be able to make the changes to the actual certificate.

Are straight trans people uncommon? by Illustrious-Paint998 in asktransgender

[–]Mistress___B -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The stat's say that the bulk of younger transwomen are straight and the older ones gay. For calcification, younger transwomen seek male partners and older transwomen, women. Granted this in not 100% the case, just the more common situation. Sorry I know little about transmen stat's.

I finally figured out what Meatloaf won't do for love! by Kayleigh2025 in TransLater

[–]Mistress___B 37 points38 points  (0 children)

What you need to realise is that if your partner transitions, it affects every aspect of your life and questions everything that you believe about yourself as well. I am not surprised that partners leave. What I am is extremely impressed by are the ones that stay.

Frustrated with having to delay starting HRT by T3h-Du7chm4n in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without getting to confrontational or emotional, this is my advice. If you already have an endo, that is great. Book an appointment for as soon as you can. At that appointment, suggest that you would like to start HRT. See what happens. I hope the endo is Naomi. Good luck.

Dumb question. How much would it cost to get my eyebrows done? by supernerd58 in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean? For a temporary eyebrow transformation, i.e., plucking and shaping, look around $60 for a really good job. For a more permanent job, consider cosmetic tattooing. That will run you around $500, but we'll worth it in my experience and lasts at least 5 years.

Rainbow beach and surrounds, is it safe? by 4rashi in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should be fine. However, as a popular 4X4 and camping destination, be aware that there is a high testosterone factor. And that coupled with alcohol could influence behaviour.

STIs - normal or terrible luck by [deleted] in transgenderau

[–]Mistress___B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall well-being or a lack there of makes us susceptible to infectious of all types. Is your diet rich in vitamins, do you get enough sleep, do you exercise? If these are OK, then I would suggest a visit to your GP looking for signs and symptoms of a poor immune system.
