FFS and older women (56) Is there any point?

[JohnR]

Well thanks John, that's pretty damn helpful. I wouldn't expect a man to understand the problems of a woman stuck with a man's face anyhow. F2M faces masculinise really well with hormones. The reverse is often more difficult. Everyone (all women) who replied so far have been really constructive. Until you. What makes you think anything you've said is relevant?

Sarah and all the other ladies at Susan's, I really am sorry to have upset any of you. It was never my intention to cause offence or for my post to look as though I was in any way making light of the issue.

I had intended my post to be self deprecating, showing up my own ignorance on the matter, rather than cause any of you, for even one second, to feel anything less than the ladies that you are.

Sometimes abbreviations can mean different things, as in the case of FFS.

I would never make light of a serious issue for any of you, I'm sorry.

Hey Sarah,
I signed up for the Yahoo ffs group.  Seems to be some good info there as well on various procedures. Seems like various motivations and expectations are all over the place.  It is good to get a broad spectrum of people responding.

I agree Cindy, I posted a similar query over there and people have been really kind in replying with lots of helpful opinions and information. I didn't really think anyone would be interested in the difficulties older women experience. Places like Youtube have many inspirational stories, but they're nearly all from young women. More at home with the technology I suppose.

Best wishes,

Sarah.

Indeed Johnnie, I though it twas funny, but then again I've a thing for the darkside, unless it too up-close and personal.....lol

Yep I hope there's a point to it or else I'm just about to blow a load of my savings on a waste-o-time...

Which I doubt!! As my surgeon is a Professor of Surgery otta Harvard Medical School and Chief of Craniofacial Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital...

On the 25th I'll be having ffs and face nip-n-tuck....with him in fact. 8hrs plus I'm told...

So will let you all know how I get on out there in Boston....

And back to pain, grin and bear it time....

BTW I'm 52 going on too grow old disgracefully..... an all that.....

I didn't take any offence either, John.  And actually I thought it was kind of a snicker myself.

STP, FFS, BA, SRS, GRS, GCS, GRS, PCOS, AA, TG, TS, TV, CD, FTM, MTF, HRT, AIS, LGBTQQA, and all the rest.

It is such an alphabet soup that we have to deal with. 

When I go over to the boys boards, I can sometimes be bewildered about some of the terms you guys use as well.
