As long as you think that sex and gender are the same thing it is hard to understand. As long as you equate feminine with being female, how can you understand why the "hard work" begins after surgery. Feeling feminine and dressing as a female is not the same than being female and seeking congruence.Originally Posted by LALady
Well, ask any gender doc and they will disagree; ....

PS: Stephenie, you powerfully describe living as a woman with a vagina as far less stressful, so I wonder why after SRS is when "the hard work" starts. It seems more like the reward than the task. Don't think I haven't imagined scenes of medical humiliation, of the dread of losing my physical autonomy; but that's a nightmare a lot of us must face with a certain degree of stoicism, if we can't get SRS.
By the way I am a pre-op woman.
