I think I'm going to get FFS eventually. I'm amab and genderfluid and although I'd prefer not to have to get surgery, my face is very masculine. My face frustrates my female self and also misrepresents my male self, as it doesn't match my inner image of either. I don't want to fully transition to female, the rest of my body is fine as it is, it is just my facial structure that is incongruous to me.
I appreciate all the information you've given about it so I can contemplate it more. I'm turning 26 soon, so I will be off my parents healthcare and onto my own. I guess in that case I won't have to convince them to let me do it, It'll be on my shoulders. The recovery time does look extensive, but hopefully my family might be of aid. I don't know, I want both my male and female self to be able to shine through, but the cost and logistics of it is intimidating me.
I'm not financially independent, I have a college STEM degree, but I've been trying to finish my longstanding video game project since I left college and working part-time; I don't how long it will take to save up for the surgery. I've always been wary of facial surgery, as every instance I've seen talked about on major websites are the ones that have gone wrong. But it does seem that this might not be as extreme of an option as I initially thought.
Celeste! This made me tear up; I am so excited for you to see YOURSELF in the mirror, and for how good that will feel. Thank you for the practical and emotional labor of sharing this with us; I learned a lot and continue to be so grateful for your voice. 🩷
I’m so excited for you! I know this is a really big deal, I have several other trans friends who haven’t been able to have gender affirming surgery. I can’t wait for you to see in the mirror what I see, a wonderful woman of Christ 🥰
I learned so much from this write-up, thank you, Celeste! I'm excited to see you grow into your own! Prayers for the road ahead, especially the recovery. 💜
