Hi, I’m almost 2 years on hrt now and while I never had much bottom dysphoria that started to change once the HRT changes reduced much of my other body dysphoria. For a while I was sure I wanted bottom surgery. I don’t like my current “configuration”, I don’t like tucking and that limits my fashion choices quite a bit. I feel conscious about it a lot of times when going outside. I also can’t even think about being intimate with someone like this. And I just don’t like having this thing on me. Plus I’ve heard a lot about how you get some more hrt changes post surgery since you don’t have any t left. But once I started thinking more about the surgery and researching a bit I wasn’t sure if that was the right thing for me either. It’s probably at least partially because the actual surgery and the healing process are really scary. But the idea of having a vagina also feels somehow weird. I’m not sure why. I know there are some types of surgeries that don’t create “depth” but I don’t quite think that’s the right thing for me either. Tho while my libido was down before I started prog I sometimes thought that I wish I was just flat down there.
I’m absolutely lost about what to do.
Did you have similar thoughts? How did you come to a decision? Any helpful thoughts on this are much appreciated


I had an orchi about 7 months ago. I got it because I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted a vaginoplasty, but I knew for certain I didn’t like my balls, so off they went. And if I later decide that I for sure want a vaginoplasty I can still go and get one. I definitely have less dysphoria since I got it. If you’re certain you don’t like your balls, you could just get those removed and get a vaginoplasty later if you so decide. Downside though is that you’d potentially have to pay for 2 surgeries if you decided to go that way.
