-said I wouldn't get into the whole bottom surgery thing- -really wants to get into the whole bottom surgery thing-
#i just think there are some people in the notes of that post talking about phallo when their issues towards it are like#hey you might want to look into metoidoplasty instead it sounds more like what you're saying you want#i don't know them obviously but it sounds kinda like people don't know there's more options than phalloplasty?#i guess if you don't want bottom surgery you aren't going to look into it tho#anyways. I'd personally choose metoidioplasty for myself#and even then there are multiple options for like. what you want to change and what you want to get rid of. it isn't just all or nothing#if you don't want surgery that's great too i just see people saying 'i don't want bottom surgery bc of x'#when they could choose to not get x if they don't want to#idk i just feel like there's a lot of misinfo and stigma around bottom surgery#it isn't for everyone but i feel like sometimes people misunderstand what it is and what the options are#.txt#i am definitely an outlier as to what I would prioritize in my transition#i dont even know if i want top surgery. i do want a dick tho

i want to write down all the procedures i want when im old enough and im choosing here, enjoy my personal transgender checklist:
-top surgery, first and foremost. even before i knew i was trans and just thought i was non binary, i wanted my boobs off. i hate having boobs so much oh my god, the day they're gone i will be so happy. (also i lowkey love how the scars look on other people, it's like a sign like "look how much happier i am now!" idk)
-testosterone, duh. this ones another easy one but i haven't known that i wanted it for as long as top surgery. i want to be a man on the inside too. i want all the little things that come with being a man, and testosterone is the way to get those things
-a hysterectomy. this one's also a no brainer. i haven't figured out if i want bottom surgery yet (and i've got A LOT of time to worry about it), but if i were to get it this would be a requirement anyways, but i want to be done with periods and every other little thing that comes with having a uterus. i don't want it, i want it out of my body. and this was already a want when i hadn't figured out i was trans, but i didn't realize it was an option.
-phalloplasty, specifically rff. ik this one changes as people progress in their transition journey and so i wouldn't want to get bottom surgery until the above are already met, but if i were to get bottom surgery, right now rff phalloplasty seems to be the most appealing option. i wouldn't want metoidioplasty because i would want a regular sized penis, just me personally it wouldn't satisfy me. i would want specifically rff instead of alt because of many reasons. first, i'd be happier with the scar placement, an arm scar would be easier for me to deal with than a thigh scar, even if its harder to hide. second, an arm wound would be easier to deal with recovery wise, like it'd be easier to deal with, and i've had to deal with below the waist injury and maintenance after surgery before and it's not pleasant. third, rff usually produces smaller lengths than alt and tbh i want a more average sized penis, i get why other people would want a longer one, but personally i wouldn't. i've put a lot of thought into bottom surgery even though i'm not entirely sure i want it lol.
idk that's all the medical stuff i've considered with transitioning, and obviously i have a lot of time until i can actually do anything cause my insurance doesn't cover gender affirming treatment until you're 18 which is stinky but whatever, gives me more time to consider these things i've been considering for years already. my birthday present to myself when i turn 18 is going to be top surgery. the second i turn 18 i'm going to start looking at surgeons and pricing things out. and if i'm lucky maybe my dad will pay for part of it so i can get it sooner, instead of having to save as much. and then once i have my boobs gone im going to look at starting testosterone. or maybe i'll do it before top surgery idk, only time will tell. but this has been a long enough post already
