Hey all. So as many of you have known I would have had GRS done back in Janurary if i didnt have a mental break down April of last year and was still living and working in Winnipeg. Things changed dramatically within a matter of a day. Since then I have been working on myself inside and out and tbh doing very well :)... but i do have a lot of jelousy.

There was this other trans girl i met in Winnipeg. She was very nice and gave me pointers for transition too!. When I met her in Jan 2016 she was a year on HRT and at that time said she had no plans for GRS as she didnt think it was nessisary. I on the other hand in Jan 2016 couldnt get GRS off my mind, I remember laying in bed thinking about every aspect. The flight to Montreal, my time in the hospital waiting as to what I will do until the surgery time. Being rolled in to the operating room on the dolly-bed and waking up and recovering. I had even a plan on what to do to get it rolling. I was about to get a second job that spring (and even worked there before breakdown)  and basiaclly work nearly all day everyday from spring until Jan 2017 just saving money so I could quit those two jobs the day i fly out east for surgery, live with a close family friend or so for those month and have a back up. Then, I would join the military to be an MSCE-OP  post healing. If for what ever reason I couldnt join I would then have atleast some money to go down my culinary path for school and make a career that way as I have been in kitchens most of my working life. I had, or I thought I had everything planned and under-control 18 months ago but I guess not.

I found out that in the time we last spoke (over a year) she changed her mind as as of today is on her way to Montreal to get that surgery. I am in Awh, a part of me is so happy for her because she is being true to herself, and she was always nice to me. Anohter part of me is jellin beyond beleif. I mean, that was supposed to be me going there 7 months ago. I wish her the best, I really do. I want her to walk out of that hosital in a week feeling like the Queen of the world. But I wont lie, I regret my life fell into shambles and imploded and has prevented me from going in. Whereas i should be only happy for her (which i am happy for her), i still feel a bit of a pity party for myself in the small degree. Again, I want her to have the best results and outcome but I feel like I lost something that should have happened and that feeling is kinda strong lately .Is this normal?

Sounds pretty normal to me! Knowing we should feel happy for our friends but uncontrollably jealous of them at the same time...I'm so sorry to hear you had that set-back. I am also in awe of people who go through with The Surgery, and also people like you who know who you are and what you want, because personally I've got a lot of uncertainty at the moment. Based on a couple of your posts, I've got so much admiration for you staying so brave with all you've been through. You are strong and you will come out the other side!

Thanks hun <3. I am sure you will get there too and I will be rooting for ya! I thank you for having faith in me over whatever posts you have read but I will not lie, I am the LAST person anyone should admire or aspire to be. For real.

But yes, shoot me an inbox if you want to converse more or have any questions :)!!

I suppose the reason why I am jelous is that fact that she, the girl in question is similar to me. When we talked I recall us questioning our genders at the same age, leading up to dysphoria at the same age to coming out around the same time ad getting onto HRT in the same year. We, are also only seperated by age at 2 days apart. I am two days older. I am so happy for her, but dang I wish I was going in for the GRS this week!

Thanks for the encouragement Ashley - I've been a bit confused recently, but I went to a barbecue social thing today as a girl and when I saw myself in the mirror I just....felt happy, you know? Felt pretty. But sure, I'll drop you a message!

I know that thing, the more similarities you have with someone, the more you feel jealous of her when she...pulls ahead, somehow? I guess it helps just to see her experience and yours as different things and not so comparable after all, despite the apparent similarities...
