I might give it a go for fun, when I've got nothing better to do, but tbh, I'd rather be 'me' with all my imperfections of both age and gender, than some phoney wannabe version.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising anyone in any way, just my personal preferences.

No you're absolutely right. I'm way too narcisstic though and if I were to go all the way I'd want to be the fantasy version rather than the likely end result. Which is absolutely in no way criticising anybody else's opinions or feelings just my dysphoria is less strong than my narcissism. Being honest about how I feel that is.

Exactly. I'd rather be an ugly old man grumpy about not being Lyndsy Fonseca than an ugly old man in drag (with a woman's private parts) grumpy about not being Lyndsy Fonseca...

Why oh why don't the medics offer FFS before even discussing genital surgery?

This is about the saddest story I've ever seen....

What precisely did that person gain by genitalia reorganisation, I wonder?
