I didn't think I wanted it before I started transition. It took a few months for it to fully sink it that it was a thing I could do and that it would make me happier. I also maybe felt a bit like I didn't deserve it. I wasn't able to get it for a long time due to medical gatekeeping, but I'm very happy I was eventually able to get it nonetheless.
I think ive just hit that point! Im glad its worked out for you! ❤️
~~Oh hey, yours was fairly recent; I remember commenting on your posts! How goes/went recovery?~~ Whoops, wrong username, my bad. Mistook you for someone else who made some posts around june-ish
I had mine in April of last year. Not my post, but I'm doing great :)
Glad to hear it! I think it's probably a goal for me long-term, until then I think I will consider myself an angler-fish (IYKYK).
"What, these? No, they belonged to the last guy to misgender me."
I am also struggling with feeling like I deserve it. I still can't connect with whether it would make me happier per se, but having a scrotum is pretty gross - so I guess I feel more dysphoria as a motivation than gender euphoria.
