Seriously, though, one other thing occurred to me about this - that is the true belief in yourself and your body as being sexually desirable within your chosen context. I never once in my life imagined that anyone could find me "sexy" until I discovered the right context to view myself in. Now I'm starting to believe that it is possible, and for someone instinctively not dominant the need to be desirable is a critical feeling. I'm struggling with the question of whether or not genital surgery will play into this significantly in terms of who and how many potential partners I may find once living full-time as female and actively seeking. Lot's of us say it makes no difference but often being one way or the other will be an immediate deal-breaker. I'd also, and either way, prefer to be more than just a 'sexual curiosity'. Anyway, the notion of desirability is going to prove one of the most significant developments and 'game-changers' in my life.
Oh, and just to clarify, I'm not suggesting other people will be the deciding factor in my decision on surgery. I just wonder greatly how it would turn out either way.
