Transgender journey: facing the reality of surgery

After a consultation with her gender reassignment surgeon, the reality of impending surgery dawns on Juliet Jacques. Is she doing the right thing?

I'm finally moving towards the second major stage of the gender reassignment pathway – surgery.

I asked myself: "Is this still what you want to do?" I'd never regretted coming out as transsexual or starting hormone therapy, but both were reversible (at least to a point). This, less so. Some people live full-time in their desired gender without pursuing surgery, but I felt as certain as ever that it was the right course for me.
