Title: Why surgery
Post by: Athena on June 13, 2014, 12:11:29 PM
I was just wondering why girls go through VFS?
I would like to do so myself in the future and my reasons are that I consider VFS the point of no return. In my mind even with SRS I can go back to being male (just lacking an annoying piece of flesh) but with VFS I can truly kill my  male self, it really is the switch from male to female to me.

I don't quite understand. Even with VFS you can probably manage to sound neutral enough to be read as male if you really want to. But whats the point? If your goal is to be regarded female by others, why the need to have such a point of no return? Do you want to convince yourself of being female and force yourself into it without having that certainty already?

You sound very conflicted about transition. Have you and your Therapist talked about your concerns? :-\

 girl through ffs for a female voice permanently; and bury forever their male voice.
When we begin a transition, this is a definite choice!
