I`v been thinking really long and hard (no jokes Please! 
) about this, and I think that if I share with my peers it might help me make up my mind, or at least help me make a balanced choice.
I`v been thinking about my SRS options, namely Orchi, Vulvoplasty or Vaginoplasty.
I know you may think it`s a bit early yet, but by the time I get seen, I`m very likely to be fast-tracked straight to the surgical waiting list, I`ll have my GRC then and won`t have to live a year as a woman because I`ll have already done at least 2 and have Govornment Proof of it! so i won`t really have as much time as other girls to think about it, plus it`ll give me time to work on my phobia of anaesthetics (it even makes me edgey just typing that word!).
so i`v made a sort of mental Pros and Cons list of each of the options:
Orchi:
Pros: won`t need blockers anymore, tucking may be a bit easier?
Cons: I`ll still have That Thing there!
so I`v basically rulled this one out entirely!
Vaginoplasty:
Pros: I`ll be 100% normal
Cons: Serious Consequences if it goes wrong and I`m pretty sure I`d end it all if I had to live with a bag!, can`t be 100% commited to the dilation routine everyday for months and for the rest of my life, the downtime would be unacceptable (esp with Kids!), I`m not really sure I`d even use it, there`s the same risks of infection etc... that women get, will need electrolysis down there. I have a small pevic opening and that could cause serious complcations!
Vulvoplasty:
Pros: I`d look 100% normal, it would feel right, all the "bits" would be gone, there`s only a short downtime, no dilating needed, it`s Much safer! I can`t be raped (that concerns me!), no risk of infections, won`t need electrolysis down there.
Cons: can`t have penetrative sex, I`d be considered Less Trans or less of a Woman (I know that shouldn`t bother me, but it has crossed my mind).
and that`s basically what I have right now, I`m seriously leaning towards the cosmetic option of Vulvoplasty, sometimes called Cosmetic Vaginoplasty, I`m kinda 90% for that and maybe 10% vaginoplasty.
it`s times like this I really wish I wasn`t Trans, nobody else has to think about sh!t like this
Soooo... I`d welcome any ideas or input with regard to my options and inevitable decision, or even if you just want to share your feelings about it? xx
