So im asking people what its like having a new vagina. Specifically like is the actual canal sensitive? Like on the inside? I know like my penis for instance the whole shaft has a sensation so i was wondering if it was "inverted" would it be the same or a little different? I was also wondering about the sensitivity on the outside like compared to the old parts how is it or if you had to rate it? Im looking at going through with this but A. I need as much information as possible so i know what im doing and B. Im terrified because im going at this alone and really dont have like a trans support system. So i appreciate any specifics you are willing to give.

I don't think it's a stupid question at all!
I'm not an expert on this but I'm pretty sure the standard penile inversion technique doesn't give sensitivity in the vagina itself, the main sensitive area is the clitoris, labia etc. I may be wrong though.
Having vaginoplasty is like taking an egg and scrambling it. It will never be what it was before. It takes time to figure out what is what. It takes time for hurt to leave and sensation to return. Me, I like my eggs scrambled and I will accept whatever result I get. My analogy does fall apart though because I love sausage with my eggs. lol This may be a question that only you can answer when you go to breakfast.

I'm a little under 6 months and I can say for sure my inside has little to no sensitivity, my clitoral and inner labia area does however. I'm not sure if there is improvements with time, but I can live with what I have.

We all do our homework, sometimes things go wrong. You don't get a guarantee with these things. I had complications after my genital surgery. There was a lot of blood, a lot of fear, and a lot of uncertainty. You need to be prepared for anything, and conversely, you need to do a ton of preparation before anything happens.
Your questions are good, but I hope you're already questioning everything else that is going to come before and after surgery as well.

Taylor,
I think if dysphoria pushes you for GCS you will find the risks acceptable and take the leap. If it doesn't push you that hard, maybe you wait or explore alternatives. For me there was no choice, it was happening. I hear people talk about the fear of the pain and disdain for dilation. In my mind, if this is what stops someone, well maybe they are not driven in the way that I was. Pain is most likely temporary (with rare exceptions of course) and dilation is certainly inconvenient. The feeling of mind body alignment is absolutely incredible. For me, the surgery, recovery, and any other craziness associated with the procedure were temporary, what I have at the end will be with me the rest of my life. I am happy even with my unanswered questions at this point. I would do your research and ask all your questions. Pick a quality surgeon if you decide to proceed. Be prepared for whatever may come.
