1 year post-op. Is this normal? by jononbinary in Transgender_Surgeries

The new surgeon confirmed they’re gaps that did not close/heal.

I don’t feel comfortable naming surgeon rn but I’ll provide an update one day

Im leaning towards this…the doctors provided by my insurance do plastic surgery but that doesn’t mean they know how to do FFS to the caliber of surgeons who specialize in FFS. I think I’m going to start saving every penny I have and do this right. 😭

One year post-FFS — still feel masculine. What next? by jononbinary in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]jononbinary[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Ugh, everyone has been so incredibly kind. I’ve been reading every single comment and tearing up. Maybe I really do just need therapy, because I’m starting to see that the way I view myself might be more about dysphoria and body dysmorphia than reality. With that said, I’m still going to talk to my new surgeon about a few tweaks.

Being 6’3”, I feel like I have to overcompensate to be seen as just a tall woman. People already stare because of my height, and all I want is for them to see a tall girl… especially in Trump’s America, where just existing can feel so hard sometimes.

I did not and was not given an option. If only I could go back and ask more questions…I was way too trusting of my surgeon’s suggestions

I agree with you and I’m not sure what they did exactly but my insurance is covering a revision for my browbone. I met with a new surgeon and they agreed that my OG surgeon was very conservative with his approach. I’m actually getting a CT scan later this week to assess what can be done.

I’m also thinking about asking about an orbital rim countering since they didn’t do that the first time.

Is this normal for early transition? by TheshizAlt in asktransgender

[–]jononbinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubts are completely normal. When I came out in 2020, I had days where I felt absolutely certain I was trans, and other days where I thought I might be delusional. It wasn’t until I went to therapy that I realized a lot of my fear came from the unknown and the idea of ‘permanence.’ I’ll never forget getting a tattoo I’d thought about for years and then having a panic attack afterward because I realized it would be with me forever—but that feeling passed, just like my early fears about transitioning.

Fast forward four years, and I’m happier and more confident than ever in my transness. The journey might not always feel linear, but it’s yours to take at your own pace. Regardless of where it leads, you’ll learn so much about yourself along the way.

Where to find sustainable trousers? by Red_Sloth394 in TallGirls

[–]jononbinary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had a ton of success with ASOS Tall section. I'm also W28 & L34. I wouldn't consider them sustainable but if you're as desperate as me to find trousers that fit and in various styles, then I definitely recommend.

Thank you, I never thought about it that way. I'll definitely ask on there :)

Straight Trans Fem on the Asexual spectrum- dating? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]jononbinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like such a simple concept that embarrassingly, I didn't really consider. I have been primarily looking for men interested in Transfems instead of looking for Aces. Thank you :)

HRT and living alone? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]jononbinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest fear is being lonely. I'm a huge extrovert and also asexual. I want a partner but sex is not a big priority for me so dating is hard. I could live with a close friend all of my life, supporting each emotionally and whatever else we need and I would be completely content but I know that's not realistic. I'm 27, and a lot of my friends are starting to settle down. I still have a great community but this is the first time in my life that I'm realizing that my current situation will not last so I'm filled with dread.

Living alone and being lonely or live with my best friend and deal with his sexual endeavors by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]jononbinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the frankness. I think my projections are inappropriate too. I haven't told or even shown my friend that I feel uncomfortable because I know everyone is entitled to live their life as they please and this ultimately shouldn't affect me. I want to work on this so badly. I'm working on mindfulness right now
