I transitioned 20 years ago (M2F) in my 20's; since then I haven't had much to do with a TG community. As I get older I think it's time for me enjoy my identity and be who I am. And get some advice on where to buy good stents :-)
I had sigmoid surgery and it was bad. 5 surgeries due to problems and I still have issues. My surgeon is a @#@%!! and wish I hadn't chosen him; but back when I was transitioning we didn't have the internet and it was hard to get advice and information.
Life lessons learned: transitioning costs a lot of money - getting qualified for a well paying job is important. Get a fashion advisor to help you with clothes, they can help you buy stuff that works with our (different) body shape and in the long run save you money. Be *really* sure why you're transitioning - it's a hard road; it's not a magic wand that will make everything wonderful.
