Actually, for me, there definitely was, because I wanted it. The proof to my words lies in the fact that I've never been happier and stronger in this life than I am now, after the surgeries. So indeed, there was a need for it, lest I would have spent my entire life as miserable as I had been for the first 30 years of it.

Surgery won't fix that!
Changing how you see things will!

Something very personalOkay, this is going to be a lot of spam.... Some of it is something personal I want to say, some of it is just contemplations and my views on things related to it, not all of it coherent. But things I feel I need to say. If you're not interested, ignore it, but please, at least stay for the first bit. I'll make it (somewhat) short.
The other day I went to see Eddie Izzard's show Force Majeure. It was awesome, I had lots of fun, but for me it had an impact far deeper than just that. Why? Because he is one very charming person who is not afraid to show himself as he feels, as he really is. And be liked, very liked like that. It seems like I needed to see this with my own eyes. Everybody needs to be themselves.... most people do need at least a bit of courage for that. But for some, it is both more difficult and, in a way, because of that, more essential. Why? Because they're different, in ways which this society does not actually approve of.
I am transgender.
That's something like transs
The Rainbow days of a Transgender - Pt. 1Hello my friends, watchers and random travellers who ended up in my realm. As you know (or not), recently I underwent my second, out of 2 planned, surgery for alleviation of the rather heavy gender dysphoria I have been experiencing pretty much all my life. I did promise to tell the story, the whole surgery saga, more in detail, but as it so happens, there are other things I would like to also tell here, so to speak to close this chapter of my life and finally open a new sheet. Because of that it took a bit longer than expected to put it together, apologies for that, and also grew a bit lengthy. Nevertheless, these are things that I have experienced over the years, that I went through in one form or another again the recent months, and that I have been aching for a long time to share. I decided to make it into a literature piece rather than a journal because some of these details are rather personal. Anyone can still read them, but I am not so keen on having them flat out on my front p

THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL
The summer that followed was serene and for the most part happy, because I wasn't worrying too much of the second surgery just yet. I was enjoying life in a renewed body which suited me much better than before. There is no way to explain why having glands on your chest can be such a huge burden to an FtM transgender.... Just like there is no way to describe the joy of finally having them removed. Everything, from the simple joy of wearing your favourite metal band t-shirt without anything distorting the image, to the lightness and pleasantness of the new shape of your chest - and I was never to enjoy anything about my body shapes before. As bizarre as it sounds, I even find myself much more attractive than before - even if that's probably only in my own head, and even if I don't really even care about it. But it's there nevertheless! And care or not, it does feel good.
However.... once the summer was over,

God, people who think it's required to transition to be legitimately transgender are disgusting. Plus, its ableist because not every trans person can because of health reasons.

Health or other reasons, whatever they may be. Yes, I fully agree. This is basically.... "yes, you're free to become yourselves, but only on OUR terms." It's disgusting, not liberal at all, not to mention so damn hypocritical. But it's because these laws are written by people who not only aren't transgender - they evidently don't understand transgender even one bit.

I'm personally on hormone therapy and getting top surgery, but the factor that people are pissy enough to judge others on if they do or do not want surgery, or do or don't want hormones is absurd. Especially with the fact that like I said, not everyone can get it.
People talk about embracing differences, but that's only for cis folk it seems

exactly. well, that's an old truth, isn't it. they're only "humane" and "tolerant" as long as those they "tolerate" fit in the boxes that they made for them.
