Mug, grim visage, face like a junkyard dog, lots of character, a face to sink a thousand ships, fell out of the ugly tree and hit a few branches on the way down, rugged good looks. Noggin, knot head, jarhead, jughead. A small sampling of the lovely words that used to describe the male head.
The last thing a MTF TS wants is to be described in these terms. What’s a (T)Girl to do?
What a great question!
THANK GOD we have the modern science of Phemme Phrenology to help us out! A wonderful mash-up of the firm foundations of classical phrenology, craniometry, physiognomy, and various things Dr. Ousterhout really, REALLY likes in a girl, it just keeps getting better with wonderful advances like Dr. Spiegel’s technique of crushing and re-assembling the skull! New techniques of reducing brow bossing that only start slightly, if alarmingly close in appearance to a transorbital lobotomy! Implants you didn’t even know existed! And you’re going to break WHAT???? Don’t worry, though, because the incredibly skilled hands of that trained cranio-facial or plastic surgeon (you did check, right? right??) are going to probe and feel the lumps and bumps, then pronounce which ones are male and outta go, to be replaced by more feminine lumps and bumps. After all, this is Science! What’s that? Yes, I know women come in infinite variations, but *I* need to pass!
Yes, a New You is in the offing, even if the New You will look suspiciously like every other O Girl or Z Girl. There may be a few downsides, but beauty doesn’t come easily. One of which is that beauty may come in the form of looking like your homely, middle-aged sister.
The healing is going to take a while, it hurts, and it’s going to be expensive. (Sounds familiar) How expensive? “HOLY F’IN CRAP!!!!!” Thank God for insura … And suddenly Mexican and Thai surgeons look every last bit as good as any local alternatives! Some of them are, too. “All right,” you think, “$15k is better than “$40k”. “I don’t need nurses that speak English, recovering in a hotel sounds cool, and I’m pretty sure I can follow-up with my own doctor!” So “Phuket, ” you say and off you go! Get the lipo you want at the same time! What's another hour or two under anesthesia if you're already out anyway?
Consider Rocky’s face after he won the fight with Apollo Creed. If you look like that the day after surgery, you did good!!! I love reading the post-FFS threads, which are titled “Ouch” more often than not, T-Girls being the subtle, understated things they are. By and large, the results are good, though, and get better over time. Wonderful. Sure would like to be able to feel the top of my head, though! No, I didn’t have open brain surgery, and that little ‘ol scar will just disappear under my wig! And no, Michael Jackson plastic surgery jokes aren’t funny (anymore).
If there’s one thing on which there’s consensus, it’s that a girl’s gotta look like a girl. That some feel this includes you looking just as you do now shouldn’t trouble you at all, even if you do, in fact, look like Sylvester Stallone. Taken to its logical extreme, that means nothing REALLY needs to change at all. After all, some women dress in men’s clothing, look like men, talk and walk like men, are bald, etc. So the only thing you REALLY need is to think you are a woman! What’s that? You can’t pin that down? Take heart – you just validated that gender surgery is cosmetic and, if there is a truism in life, it’s that women like cosmetics, so go for the surgery!!
What? You’re disappointed in my use of a sexist cliché? As the Man in Black said: “Get used to disappointment.” You’re a woman now.
Still want to transition in a heartbeat?
