i'm not trying to start a debate, discredit any other transitions, or make myself feel superior. having any kind of gender identity disorder is not easy no matter what your birth sex is, but i honestly feel that overall the transition from male to female is the hardest. and i'm not saying that just because i am a male to female, but there's more prejudices, passing difficulties, and different procedures required to become physically female by acceptable standards. in the worst case scenario, a male to female could have permanent scalp hair loss problems that don't get fixed no matter what they have tried. a wig could be their only solution. a male to female may also have to worry about facial femenization surgery, electrolysis, and having to change their voice surgically or by practice. it also is not a guarantee that they will lose any height or all their body hair from hormones. there's also the bodys structure that does not get significantly smaller and more petite. a female to male on the opposite side has more successful passing rates. they have the possibility of passing as a pre pubertial male if they bind down their breasts, wear boys clothes, and have their hair cut short. the surgeries they have to get are bilateral mastectomy, removal of female organs, and srs. i do understand that female to males are not generally pleased with the results of the bilateral mastectomy and srs, as both are important parts of "manhood" in society. other than those three surgeries, testosterone will give them all the feautures they need to be masculine. being a masculine female is as well definately more accepted than a feminine male, so that generally makes a female to males transition more accepted in society. i really hope this doesn't turn into an arguement. like i said before, i'm not discrediting anyone. i just want to know the truth, rather than to pretend something is that really isn't.
