Quote from: Paulie on Yesterday at 10:35:01 PMDear Chrissy,
My dysphoria really only shows up when I put on certain dresses, some skirts and some jeans too. Mostly the snug fitting dress though. I have no shape to my waist and I have that bump in the front. Theoretically I could do something about both; losing just a few pounds would go a long way to taking care of the waist. Taking care of the other, well I'm not sure I'll ever be ready for that, but I'd be lying if I said that the though never crossed my mind. For now, non-op is working for me. I can get away with high waist or A-line skirts and dresses. I'm not as self-conscious about the bump in jeans, and the cut of women's jeans does help.
Dysphoria has never brought me to tears, I was sad to read that yours has. I'm glad that for the most part you are okay and basically quite happy. It's nice to hear that your session went well today and I think having an action list sounds like a good thing.
Logically thinking there would be 3 basic camps on the op/non-op decision. Those that know it's for them, those that know it's not for them and all of the rest of us somewhere in between. I hope someday soon you know for sure, which of the other two camps you fall into.
It's good that you are taking your time and thinking it through. I agree it's not a matter of a right or wrong decision; it's a matter of knowing what's right for you.
Warm regards from a sister fence sitter.
Hugs,
Paulie.

Since we are sharing pictures of toys we used to play with, I'll contribute a few:
I had just been assigned to the commander's tank as the gunner. We named the tank "Charlie's Angel". We were in Charlie Company and the commander's tank crew can do no wrong.
This was taken during the REFORGER war games in Germany in 1984. That was the coldest winter I ever experienced. I got frostbite on my face and I think it took years for me to shake the chill.
This was an annual ARTEP evaluation war game in Hohenfels, Germany. The fog was so thick that hiding tanks was fairly easy. You can see a tank behind the ruins and an Armored Personnel Carrier to the left of it. There are three more tanks in this picture hidden in the fog.
I loved my job!

For you this is a big step and reading carefully not one that comes naturally in the plan. But plans change, life changes. Questioning is part of life. And good that you can talk about it with an expert, something said many many times to others. And you have plenty of time.
I know the decisions made by you will come from careful assessment of all the facts that will help you to know your path. As said many times we are all different, we are all women inside, what is outside is our difference.
Love you sister
Jessica.
