Who says a post SRS  MTF who's into men (only!) is more successful  in finding a male partner than a TG or a ******* ? The person who wrote that quote actually says SRS is the solution for MTF loneliness. And giving false hope.

She sounds very frustrated and angry..probably because she believed above mentioned assumption: post op and having a vagina will find me a straight guy.

Sadly it doesn't work that simple.
Well, not only for 'such people' but for post srs MTF who are into men (only) too.

And that's why I am working with a therapist now, since this would be anything but a fix to mi social problems. Those things would stay the same regardless of gender.

This clears a lot of things, thanks. Looks like most of the warning info I can find is either outdated or written from a strong negative point. Maybe is a good moment to stop with the info gathering and limit myself to the sessions with the GID therapist.

It's cruel and condescending towards TG/non op/********

In fact, that's one of the things that made me consider getting SRS. A lot of the articles and opinions seem to spit venom over "partial" transitioners, to the point of making me feel bad about wanting to remain in TG mode (for now) until I have a more clear vision about myself.

From what I can gather, on a normal HRT regime erections lose strength and dissappear over time, there is a great shrinkage of testicles and a bit on the penis itself... They may became painful, libido goes away... The logical thing.

Incredibly feminine bodies and fully working male penises with absolutely no athropy. How the heck do they pull that?

Sometimes you get lucky, and your parts are still fully-functioning even after an extended period of HRT.

That's what the situation is for me.

Lets calm down.

There is no reason to be judgemental.

Read the ToS in the announcement area.

I'm not of an opinion that this thread is leading to useful discussion.

If the OP agrees I think it is time to close it.

Go ahead, please.
