  • Hello and congrats! I have recently discovered that I’m a woman, and am curious about surgery and transitioning as a whole, so I have a lot of questions:

    1. How has transitioning as a whole been for you? Getting on hormones, wardrobe changes, socially, etc? I’m only out to my close friend circle, but already know my close family is cool with trans people.

    2. If you have any conservative/anti-trans people in your life, how have relationships been with them since you started? Have you cut ties, or hidden your transition, or anything else? I have some bigoted family that are otherwise decent people and that I’d like to stay connected with (for now, at least).

    3. How was surgery as a whole? What was pre-op like, any things you didn’t like about it, things you had to compromise on, etc? I’ve never had surgery in the first place, so this would be extremely foreign to me.

    4. If you don’t mind, what was dysmorphia like for you? I’ve wondered for a while before now what it’d be like to be a girl, and have especially felt it in the genital area. And on the occasion I’ve been “misgendered,” I always felt really good about it.

    5. How have you learned to do feminine stuff? Like chest measurements, makeup/nails, other clothes stuff, etc? Just researching online, or do you ask cis friends, or something else?

    6. Are you doing any voice training? If so, anything you can recommend to help? I have a lower voice and a small range, so anything helps.

    7. Any resources you can recommend me on this? Where to learn about treatment, advice on how to do this stuff?

    Again, I’m still extremely new to this space (and social anxiety’s a bastard in this context), so any advice is much appreciated.
