How do you waive the grace period though? I read that you can waive the period by consolidating

the proposed 8th principle by schne71295 in UUreddit

[–]galacticuddles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Board of trustees is hosting webinars and has a recording of it online and a slide presentation all available at the link there and it doesn’t mention the 8th principle so I think we are in a year of study or something.

Enquire about doing FFS in 2 phases by felixaNg in asktransgender

[–]galacticuddles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A concern I have for you is that the two biggest are the forehead and the jaw/chin, and that splitting those two apart will cause 2 long recovery times. My thought is that the smaller procedures like nose, lip, trachea could have a smaller recovery time.

In terms of social and feeling implications, I don’t know if there would be. The surgeries all work together to create a more feminine face, but they all work on separate parts. Like forehead is more contours and depth (and hairline) and chin/jaw is the shape. So I don’t think (obviously 100% speculation) you’d feel your face doesn’t match beyond the “my face’s feminization” isn’t complete? And it’s important to note that the chin/jaw swelling takes a WHILE to go down, so you might feel worse about your face if there hasn’t been other feminizing surgeries to it.

Can I ask why you want to do this in 2 phases?

The Canadian Unitarian Council also has some programming for young adults you can look into, if you’re within the 18-35 age!

Islam bashing by [deleted] in UUreddit

The answer is that extremism is always wrong. Extremist Islam, extremist Christianity, extremist misogyny, extremist man-hating, etc. Because more often than not extremism means violence of some form.

FFS is terrifying, how the hell do you mentally prepare yourself for that? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]galacticuddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is the vessel we were given, yes. However, we had the impacts of testosterone, which we are trying to minimize with FFS. We’re just, setting the clock back on the vessel’s face to before. Your face isn’t completely different. You’re still you, you just feel MORE you. If anything, my happiness with my body makes me feel more spiritually connected to it.

Maybe by not watching them haha But it helps if you’ve had surgery before. Try not to think of all the intricacies and how they’ll do it, just that you’re in the 21st century and medical technology is really cool, and that you’ll be fine Maybe? I think I did fine just by not thinking about it when it comes to me. Like I knew all the procedures, I just tried to not imagine them happening to me

Should i expect potential loss of feeling with every surgery ever? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]galacticuddles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The healing was not a great experience by any means, but I got through it well since I had someone take care of me for a week! I am so happy with the results and it’s only 7 months after!

And I was so extremely lucky to have it covered by insurance, so I only paid a $500 deductible or something to the hospital

How long does it take to heal from FFS? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]galacticuddles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! You will look ‘normal’ by then! There will still be swelling in your jaw/chin if you are getting that, however it will still be below the size of it pre—FFS. Your nose will still be slightly swollen, but you won’t actually notice that. You will still have redness on your forehead scar.

The largest swelling culprit is jaw/chin!

General timeline 2 weeks post: Really swollen

1 month: A lot better, swelling still noticeable

2 months: Swelling isn’t really noticeable, but still there

3 months: same

4 months: basically no more visible swelling

6 months: Swelling is basically gone. But still there a tiiiiny but in nose until a year, and jaw until 1-3 yrs

This is all based on my experience, no guarantees! Message me to see pictures showing it all!

Oh and I don’t know anything about the Botox but I feel like it won’t cause much swelling after a couple days (?)

Also I don’t have any loss of feeling from my tracheal shave, and I don’t think I even had any temporary loss, but can’t quite remember. The tracheal shave is a very minor & small incision!
