Thanks Laurie.
Thanks to Joanne B too. In a different thread, she got me thinking about how I have viewed my status over the years. It's crazy, but in self reflecting from the conversation, I finally realized that I am a transsexual. There is no longer any doubt that my old periodic doubting will not be back. All my life I had doubted that I wasn't really trans enough to transition. I now have the identity that had always eluded me.
I enjoyed one of the benefits of my surgery today. I am wearing a pair of sexy lace panties that I always dreamed of wearing but couldn't wear. After 60 years all I can say is awesome sauce!
My healing is changing slowly. My scar tissue areas are a bit bigger. My white areas are greatly reduced. Not much sign of granulation, thankfully. It seems like my clit looks more visible rather than less. Oh, it is starting to be less hypersensitive to the touch. Don't know that it is ready for prime time yet. (What is this, 3 month, 1 week post op at this point?)
Perhaps this isn't earth shattering stuff for a post on this topic. To be honest, this is something I wanted to think about today. With the shooting, the attack on the rights women and trans people, friends on Susan's and other places really struggling, I think I wanted to go to my happy place. Am hoping next week is better for everyone.
Love to all,
Moni
