Yes, definitely.  I have consultations coming up in April with McGinn, Rumer, and Meltzer.  My genital dysphoria has only gotten worse since I started RLE.

2 years ago I still didn't think it possible, after decades of wanting to. Now I'm just 2½ months from my surgery date. One recommendation letter has yet to arrive but I've seen it so all is good. I'll be booking flights later today.

It's in my near-ish future. I'm scheduled with Suporn for mid/late June (: it's paid for; I just need to buy my ticket

I have hoped for it for the longest time, and I never truly thought I would be able to afford it.

Not on my radar.  FFS first.

   At my age and at this point in time I am not sure of the need for GCS. I would have an orchiectomy and trachea shave in a heart beat though. Those two are my most disliked parts of me. I don't need them and don't want them.
As I transition further my feeling in the matter will likely change.

  Hugs,
    Jeanette

I am planning for it, but I reserve the right to change my mind.

I'm really early in my transition and I'm very ambivalent the idea GCS for several reasons, but more and more I realise that its probably only a matter of time before I make the decision that it is something I'm going to need to do.

I think an orchiectomy is closer on my radar than GCS.

It's early stages of transition for me. In my heart I know the answer but I have a lot of research to do first.
It's a big decision for anybody to take onboard and I want to make sure every step towards GCS is for the right reasons.
Physically it's a no brainer for me, I have little attachment to my physical body how it is now, so no issues with surgery.
It's the social transition I'll find harder, hopefully starting HRT would help navigate that, and maybe relieve some of the dysphoria I have?
I don't know, it's a process. I'd like to say sign me up tomorrow, but i'm going baby steps for now. Getting fit, getting my cholesterol down, presenting full time. All steps towards preparing the ground for a full transition.
