might be fearing a bit about never being approved for sex reassignment surgery
i am a transsexual. i was diagnosed at about age 12, and ive felt overwhelming nausea and disgust with the parts of my body that don't belong. i'm 24 now and finally have some freedom to actually look into transitioning. i'm currently in with the local transgender mental health center, and explained to my therapist that i only had extreme dysphoria about my chest and bottom. i enjoy being short. i enjoy being cute. i don't have any strong desire to go on T. but i'm a man, and the cutest one you'll ever see. but... she told me that i probably couldnt be approved for surgery without "living as a guy" for 2 years. but... i'm already a guy. i don't really give a damn what the people on the outside see. i want to do this for me, not to make myself more likely to be gendered correctly or whatever. i really don't give a fuck. i just want to stop feeling empty, nauseous, horrible, and disfigured. how did you guys get approved for surgery? i'm also feeling as though i'm not even being taken seriously. i'm sorry i just don't feel the need to change my voice or my face. i actually like them. but... i've been a boy my whole life, and want to finally change what makes me sick.
