I waited for 13 long effing years to finally have SRS, life is sooooo unfair...

[Evolving Beauty]

When I see others having it so young in their teens with support of their parents or having a good decent job and having it done so quick in their early 20's makes me so jealous.

Me I've strained like a cow to get this money and not to mention what I did to have it and many here know what.

I'm 30 and I wanted to have SRS since I was 14 years old but started seriously into the struggle 13 years ago when I was 17 years old. Sometimes I ask myself whether it's worth having it now cos my MAIN reason of having is for sex with straight men. I admit I'm a sick nympho obssessed with sex and straight men. And sometimes I say what's the use now I'm 30 and it's a bit late now as the range of guys that interests me are boys of 18-20 years old only and will they even want a woman of my age. But anyway I'm finally gonna have it done for my 'work' purposes cos since 5 years now everyday I risk myself being killed for not saying what I am. I really need to have this done as this might be the only way for me to struggle survive the rest of my life. And don't ask me why I don't it with ->-bleeped-<-s for money, I can't stand them, they disgust me.  It's not that I'm happy doing this, if I don't do it, I won't have money to eat and have a roof.

Life is soooooooooo unfair, why the hell did I have to wait so long pffff!!!

What about the rest, how long did you struggle to have it?

Six years.

I feel what you're saying, even though I haven't had to wait as long and had one accepting parent that helped out later down the road.  Seeing trans teens get fully treated makes me indescribably hopeful for changing times but a bit bitter on the same note.

Well since I found out about srs I have been waiting 9 years. Still, if you are having srs only to have sex with straight guys I think you are doing it for the wrong reason. Don't get me wrong, sex is a big reason that I want srs, but it is not the only reason. It is mostly a mix of sex, wanting to be more comfortable in my body, society expects me to have it done, and my doctor told me that it would be more healthier to get it done because I can't take too much sprio.

ive wanted it since I was really young, but im 27 now and still saving. I dont even want full dept(no desire to be penetrated). I just want the look alike surgery done. saving up the 5000 usd has not been fun, im not even over the 1000 bench mark yet

Have been dreaming of it since I was at least 15. Hell, there was even a time during my period of trans denial where I refused to admit to myself that I was trans where I still thought of possibly getting it done, because my bodily dysphoria down there was pretty bad pre-hormones.

Realistically, right now I'm completely broke and jobless, plus my mom and dad probably aren't going to help, since Mom has no money and Dad isn't very supportive. So although I'd love to have it done as soon as my one-year RLE mark passes next April, it's probably going to be YEARS before I can afford it, unless something huge changes.

So yeah... 13 years of wanting it as of now, and by the time I can actually get it done, it will have been about 4-5 years of actively trying, possibly longer depending on how my financial situation ends up.
