I was brutally mutilated by a barbaric society, through a destructive procedure which caused necrosis, scarring and the removal of nerves, a procedure which my ignorant parents consented to while I was still a baby and unable to make informed decisions about my body. (aka, circumcised.)

I understand that I can never get what was lost in terms of sensitivity, function and aesthetic but it frankly doesn't matter because I'm planning to go under a more radical procedure anyway.

For those post-op girls, did being circumcised reduce the amount of material that you had to work with? If you were average size, did it necessitate a colon operation? Does it even impact the process at all? Do you feel like your less seneate than other trans women?

If so, would it be a worthwhile endeavor to 'restore' my foreskin?

Also, I think of myself as less valid as a trans woman because of my animosity towards the people that butchered me, even though I'm going to get it removed anyway. Does anyone else feel similar?

medics now call your animosity 'alixithymia'.

over here in UK there are very few circumsized people outside ethnic/jewish society and these probably have such a mass of cultural hangups that very few transition so the matter of shortness of skin might not pop up very often.

most surgeons offices will be happy to advise so get yourself measured and pixed and ask around to save worrying or discover you have to start saving for colovaginoplasty or skin grafts.

Hey sweety. un-fortunatley alot of post ops on here dont like to answer questions about their srs.

a few will answer you, but most wont, which tells me they are obviosuly miserable with they outcome of their
srs.

usually when they dont answer its beacuse there unhappy with the results. how i know this is beacuse almost never will a girl on here ignore you when you ask them about ffs or breast aug. but for some reason alot of girls dont like to chat about there srs.

im a pre op myself but i have alot of knowledge on srs since i been doing research on it for 7 years now . i have interviewed many many girls. atleast the ones that would speak about it.

and have come to the conclusion that every surgeon has done bad and good work. there really is no safe bet. with srs its pretty much a gamble lol.

the fact that your circumsized does not make a diffrence. most girls are circumsized and it makes no diffrence.

most surgeons will give you 4 to 8 inches of depth

suporn is consistently talked about as the one that can give you the most depth but theres girls that have gone to bowers brassard mcginn meltzer that have just as much depth...and then theres some girls that have gone to suporn that ive spoken with on here that are just 5 inches. and some cant even dialate at all beacuse there hole is too tight and small with only 2 to 3 inches. and yea she went to suporn as well.

so it varies with every surgeon.
