I just wish that all trans people could have the sudden burst of euphoria that I just had. I was putting clothes into a wish list and I realized that I don't have to hide anymore. When I get new underwear I don't have to get the boring ones that I used to buy that could pass as men's underwear. I can now choose the cute panties I want to wear. I can focus on skirts and dresses that I very much prefer to wear and only look at leggings that make a statement.

I may have regretted going with the canal in my GRS but I have never once regretted the surgery itself and when I sometimes run my hands over my body and that unsightly bulge isn't there anymore I just feel so grateful.
I realize that I am extremely fortunate as I had my surgery paid for by my provincial health insurance and I know that isn't an option for so many which is disheartening and I wish all the best.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I just wanted to say to people who might be overly self critical the thing that helped me the most was do you see other people in that light.


example
 I had government insurance pay for my bottom surgery so I felt like a parasite, but when I look at other people getting the government to pay for their surgeries do I see them as parasites ... no I don't so why should I see myself as a parasite when I don't for others.

Yay!

Very often, we focus on the milestones leading up to surgery. But post-op milestones are worth celebrating, too. Congrats!
