Four months later, I am almost fully healed and my dysphoria went down dramatically! I had not realized how bad it was each time I saw what was down there... and the euphoria of having a vulva! I do not feel like "something is missing." It is like being free of something I carried for 40+ years.

I was waitlisted for bottom and facial surgery in 2024. My surgical consult came in November 2025, then I waited, glued to my phone. In March 2026 the call came while I was recovering from gallbladder surgery. The next month, I got my pre-op consult and surgery date, and both went ahead as planned.

Dysphoria is a bitch. I did not know I had it for four full decades. Anxiety. Depression, they said... of course nothing worked! Once I knew, it hit me like a truck. HRT made it manageable, and heck, I am so afraid of needles, yet I inject myself weekly for the rest of my life!
