Re: What is being post-op to you

Not really. What a strange thought, suzi! "I'm a guy!" What the hell!!!? I mean are you sure srs was the right thing for you?

Um...

I hope you're not implying that being non-binary gender means that SRS is not right for me?

I know that's probably not what you're saying, but you've got to understand. Non-binary folk hear so much "you're not trans enough for..." talk that we're really, really sensitive to it. It's the sort of thing we've heard enough from gatekeepers that it really p!$$es us off.

There are lots and lots and lots of right ways to be trans, and no wrong ways. Can we agree on that?

I mean I know people who identify themselves as gender neutral/ non-binary; however, to have srs and still have "guys' feelings is something which is beyond my understanding, I must admit.

Not so hard to understand. I need my body to be female. Male body gives me dysphoria. Female body feels right. Has nothing to do with whether I feel like I was born a woman or whether I see myself as a male.
