Its been almost 2 years since my SRS, FFS and BA at PAI in Bangkok and also for the first time in my life dressing and living as a female. It has been a wonderful journey full of amazing new adventures and each day learning about being a flamboyant and gregarious female.
I am ever so glad that I never had to do a RLE with male features I can only imagine and admire those that have had to do this with male characteristics. I can only image the fears and ridicule that some of my sister has to go thru. Also, being a female transgender in Bangkok has been one of my best decisions in my life, a city that has become my permanent home. My former home and birthplace is Hong Kong, and Macau and Hong Kong has been my family's home for over 400 years. We are a prominent Eurasian family with an open mind and lives built on family values and believe in fulfilling our family duties. Thus, my whole life even as a male was absolutely wonderful, believing in optimizing what we are given in life. Thus my transition and srs was at age 67 and it was the best time for me to transition. My decision was fully supported by my family and almost every one of my friends.
I look back at my dramatic changes over the last few years and learning from professionals how to walk, behave and very important great makeup and a style of clothing that suited my personality. I did take extensive voice lessons before transitioning from a wonderful lady in Australia. Today, I feel I have finally become the female that I had hoped, I need to thank my TG girlfriends in Bangkok who showed me the pride in being the 3rd gender and so many little tricks that help me look amazing. Today, I have so many new friends, speak and write Thai and making landmark work successes as a TG being a Financial Corporate Advisor to some of the richest Thai family. A business that I had in Hong Kong serving the Ultra High Net Worth. There has been ZERO discrimination. And I own every room and occasion I walk into.
My health is great. I don't drink, eat healthy and exercise every day, I am 5ft 6.5ins tall, 129 lbs. It has taken me a little longer to get fit post surgery, maybe its my age. However, now at 69 years, win my 5k and 10K age group running races by a large margin. I have the best hospital services at in Bangkok at 1/5 the cost of the USA and I do not hesitate to see one if there is the slightest problem that I don't feel is normal. Beauty clinics for laser, Botox, skin resurfacing and maybe a new nose with advise from the most beautiful Thai beauty pageant on treatments and minor surgery. I look and feel in my forties.
Thank you PAI for a beautiful and ever so functional vagina. I have clitoral and vaginal orgasms that make the male orgasms of the past feel pale by comparison. I know the occassional problems faced by so many post op patients of Dr Chett,, Dr Suporn and PAI and so many other surgeons. I just want to say that all these surgeons perform basically the same procedure ,, most of the time successfully. I am sad to hear about, the occasional, hair inside the vagina from patients of every surgeon. I don't understand why as I know the scraping procedure well and its not possible to miss a follicle. Maybe something in the genes.
My charity has moved to Thailand to assist only Thai TGs for a clinic for advise and dispensing Hormones and SRS. In the end Susans Place made me realize that I can only help those whom I feel share my values and my Thai TG values. My Foundation will no longer assist any other TGs from other countries. I feel honored to be able to help so many and makes my life even more fulfilling.
I will be changing more over time but my regular participatation in the Forum is coming to its sunset.
My greatest advice is have a positive attitude and a zest for knowledge. It has made my life even more wonderful and I wish each and every one of my sisters to appreciate that we are indeed, the most fortunate humans, able to live 2 lives in one lifetime. Be proud to be what you are always meant to be, for we are indeed blessed.
