I still remember my decision not to have the GRS. It was not an easy decision to make at first and took time. My therapist whom I saw and I did discuss this and told her I needed time to think it over. She did agree I needed this and knew I was going to do my research. One was talk to my family about it and ask them for their output. We got together one weekend and asked them on me having this done or not. Looked at me and said it was my decision, would completely support me 100% on this. This was my choice which they knew and not theirs. Asked my husband when we started dating, said he will support my decision knowing it was my decision, not his. Even did my research online and spoke to a couple post op MTFs that had the GRS. Said it was a regret at first and learned to adjust to the changes. Then the decision, had it in front of me and finally said no. Came out on my decision to my family and husband, all were supportive and wanted to see me 100% happy in my life. They still are supportive to this day on this decision.

Are you 100% happy in your life with this decision, Nikki? If so, run with it. And be happy with your life :) All I would ask is.. are you basing your decision on what people around you are telling you? Only you can answer this. When you talk to other people about it... you only get their experience. Not "THE" experience.

Ultimately, if you're happy then that's all that matters.

Above all... remember: you are beautiful, you are valuable, and you have a shining spark of magnificence within you. Don't let anyone take that from you. Embrace who you are. <3
