Life after Transition

Often After surgery

Immediately after surgery is when your real life finally begins, unless your have had prior Ochiectomy where things are clearer earlier.

It is as if all of your life before surgery was just a long, bad, nightmare.

Post-surgery is also when your real, second, female puberty begins due to the removal of the testes (The main testosterone factory) during Sex Reassignment Surgery where an Orchiectomy is performed.

I am told by a number of women who have had Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) that their second puberty can last for at least 7 years.

Apart for the first year where your life tends to have a priority of recovery and a high medical maintenance procedure called Dilation.

Suddenly, after living in hell for all of your life before, you begin to make plans for your real life, start looking for a partner to share it with, and commence your real work and career.

You can then apply for a passport, and other official documentation, to be changed to reflect your true sex. As a consequence of all this you can then marry, travel and live in your true sex.

It isn't always a perfect life, but nothing is perfect in life.

The common result is that you find that now your body is in sync with your mind, that they match, you are finally happy, but for some the part of life that the hardest is to find a partner who will accept you for your past.

Having this TS condition is a form of a litmus test, the test the humanity of your new partner, for many they have been brought up with beliefs that may not allow them to accept your past, this can lead to depression for some.

The decision to remain stealthy is a hard one, but also to wear your past on your sleeve is often unwarranted and would often bring unwanted attention from the bigots around you.

When/if do you tell your new partner about your past, it is a hard answer and can vary from person to person and partner to partner.
