In terms of FFS. I may ultimately decide to get more, but have been told I already have fairly feminine features pre everything.. hormones... makeup... eyebrow waxing... laser hair removal etc.

I have no reason to doubt the wonderful people here and at Laura's, nor my friends that have told me the same thing.

I'm going to start saving up money and do some research on the various doctors that offer this service and hope to get it done sometime later this year.

Are you planning any other FFS surgical procedures? I ask, because if you are, money can be saved by having several procedures performed at the same time. If you aren't really sure, and you say you're undecided, saving money is always a good start.

Possibly at some point, but right now.... with what I make and having seen some of the estimates of cost.... anything too extensive is a pipe dream of sorts unless I win the lottery.

Not to mention SRS is obviously quite expensive as well and it's definitely a higher future priority.. thus the idea of only getting the trache shave for now.

With just a tracheal shave you will be paying a lot of money to get wheeled into an OR.
That's why a tracheal shave is normally an add-on to something that already has you in there.
It only takes a half hour.

Hmm maybe I would add something to it in that case, I would like to do the whole kit and kaboodle.. but again not sure I even really need everything from what I've been told and the cost is simply unrealistic for me right now.

Don't get me wrong I 'wish' I made enough to spend upwards of 20,000 to 30,000 dollars or at least save it within a reasonable time frame.. but just don't see it happening.

More power to those that can, they clearly make a lot more money and as such have likely done a lot more with themselves, than what I have myself.

Kudos to them for that.

You could always get SRS and a tracheal shave.

Exactly, I had a tracheal shave and my SRS done at the same time, it worked out cheaper at the time as well.
