Yeah, you kind of had that one right. I'm not much into medical stuff. I think it's really pre-op guys who are. Once they're done most will know how ughhhh these questions are.

Tbf, I am not depriving anyone of information.

1.) I'm intersex so YMMV, and likely will. I passed as cis from the moment my friends agreed to use "he", even clothes off, even pre-surgery. 2.) My surgeon was an charming and likely well meaning but egotistical quack. He fucked up people permanently and promised way more than he could deliver. I know some of the folks he fucked up on. I can say they were all happy people before but definitely two are more depressed and mean and bitter than ever. I don't want to give out his name lest anything about me other than the permanent loss of strength and swelling I now have get (erroneously) attributed to him. Also, lest he sue me. 3.) The team he worked with gave him almost no excuse to touch me, and therefore the one and only thing he did touch was the one and only thing that got permanently fucked up. 4.) I used to do gender related heavy body modifications for trans friends and close acquaintances prior to the widespread availability of potentially affordable surgery. You won't get my result from any surgeon. Cosmetically, most of my result is my own doing. 5.) Surgery almost killed me, twice, because someone introduced MRSA into my body during what was supposed to be the first and only surgery. Naturally, it's not a topic I enjoy discussing and I have had enough hospitals and medicalizing of my body. I had a lot of lookie loo hospital staff around and waking me up because I am intersex and have a really rare medical condition that every teaching hospital seems curious about, so it was months of no sleep. I just want to move on and enjoy my life. The more I get asked these questions the more I begin to understand why so many guys cut ties with identifying as trans. The part of my life around surgery is not a part of my life I care to remember tbh.
