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.
