@siege I had a similar experience. I still have my penis. It's average, but cute. Nothing to be ashamed of, for sure. And it's always done what I needed it to.

Starting transition, I thought I was happy with it. I wouldn't bother with surgery.

But about 6 months into transition, I looked in the mirror and saw a beautiful woman...with something that didn't belong between her legs.

Not to discredit women who keep theirs of course. But for me, it doesn't belong. It's not who I am. And it's not who I want to be.

Once I acknowledged that, I started to realize the other sensations I have in that area that are unique to my experience - phantom vagina. I'm wired to have a vagina. And I won't feel whole until I do.

And it's about me. Not anyone else. I need this for me, and my happiness. And that can be a tough thing to come to terms with.

@CordiallyChloe gotta put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others.

@siege absolutely!

I also realized with transition, and coming out, and living full time as a woman...there was a huge weight on my shoulders that's just always been there. And each of those steps has lifted something off me. It's like I can physically feel my body becoming lighter.

And I can only imagine this step will do the same for me. I won't have to look down and make sure it's not noticeable. I won't have to think about the bathroom situation. I won't have to worry about what a new potential partner might think, or how I should interact with myself.

I want to feel that lightness in my existence every day. I just want to feel complete.

@siege absolutely!
