electrolysis post day 6
hey yall, so it’s been about 6 days since i’ve had electrolysis on my hootie. Let me tell you something, this shit hurts lol. I’m pretty much scabbed all over my penis area and shaft. (the scabs have been falling off) sorry if that’s gross and disgusting. it’s just truth tbh. If you’re planning on having electrolysis done before having SRS. then be prepared to wear loose fitting pants. I recommend joggers, sweatpants, sundresses, skirts, etc. DO NOT wear leggings or jeans! anyway it’s starting to heal.. I keep using neosporin all over, and ice packs. all of this is very useful after having this procedure done. honestly I’m so ready to go back to wearing leggings and jeans. Oh yeah you’re not going to be able to tuck at all, after having electrolysis. like forreal girl, you will NOT be able too lol. it’s way too painful. At the end of the day it’s all going to be so worth it. I am ready to take on this journey by storm. I can’t wait to feel complete and whole again. I can tell that my body surprisingly heals very fast. It’s interesting, my doctor who did my ffs said I healed like “wolverine”. I thought that was pretty funny. I agree with him though, idk why but my body just seems to heal super fast. Anyway thats all that I have for you folks today. Next blog post will be me discussing my consult for another procedure I am going to be having in October. I am super excited. 
Hugs and Kisses

DAY 1 post electrolysis
okay, so the day after having my seven hour long electrolysis session with twilight sedation + lidiocaine. I'm bruised and swollen(which is to be expected) just an FYI you should definitely utilize ice packs, neosporin, and eucerin cream. literally I have been laying on the couch airing my shenis out all day. She is super duper swollen. my genitals have never been bigger, I am honestly disgusted by it, However this is all fairly normal. nothing to worry about. I'm going to try to go work tomorrow. Again this is not an easy procedure to do, and be ready for what will happen when you do have this procedure. Can't wait to book my next appointment. I'm hoping and praying when I do have this surgery I'll have a hairless labia and overall cooch. Next post will be coming on Monday.
Talk to y'all later.

electrolysis a trans woman's dream...
okay, so I did something.. and it was a little painful, however not as much as I was expecting. that's right, I had electrolysis. Literally every trans woman's dream right? Sike. today was my first session into womanhood. Before doing research into this procedure, let me explain as to WHY trans-women really have to get this procedure. Electrolysis is done so when we do opt for bottom surgery, we don't risk growing hair inside of our vaginas. now you may ask yourself.. how is that possible? well when you have bottom surgery our shenis(that's what I like to call my parts for now..go with it) is flipped inside out. So when that happens, the folicles go with that as well. Unless your surgeon claims they will scrape your folilicles. Just a warning a girl told me she went to a very well known surgeon in thailand the SRS Surgeon's claimed they would remove the folilicles then unfortunately not enough was removed so she currently has hair inside of her vagina. It's really sad, depressing, and super fucked. moving on...
I had electrolysis with Precison Hair Removal, Precison is teamed with Dr. Zukowski. This is the only place that offered twilight sedation and lidiocaine injections for electrolysis. If you are going the route of electrolysis and can afford it then I recommend you going this way. The first session for me was a seven hour procedure. I walked into the two red doors, waited for the lovely electrolysis tech to come grab me, got naked, was prepped and waited for Dr. Z to give me my injections. I think Dr. Zukowski is a fairly decent man, I know everyone has opinions about him and his work, but the way he treated was chill. anyway he gave me my IV and lidiocaine injections. Anywho I won't lie, the injections hurt like a bitch..but after that, you literally feel nothing. When the lidiocaine wore off a little bit, I just let the technican know and she got Dr. Z to give me more shots. The technican goes into every little follicle, stabs it and pulls out the hair with tweezers in my genital area. Fairly simple. I will say the place definitely has more of a retro 90's vibe, which honestly didn't really bother me. It gives me some sort of nostalgia. Currently right now I'm super swollen and a little bruised(it was 7 hours so it's honestly to be expected) but it should go down soon. I'll be going back 3 more times this year to have a total clearing for my surgery.
FYI - after this procedure you will need ice packs, neosporin, and eucerin cream.

alright.. ffs?
so what's this "ffs" you may have heard about or not heard about? it's a list of procedures used to shave down the male skeleton. Unfortunately I started puberty a little bit later back in 2015, so testosterone already poisoned my body, but I was very very blessed to be able to afford several procedures to help me look less like.. a man. Not every trans woman opts for this surgery, they're some trans women that were blessed enough to start puberty blockers at such a young age. Also they're some who never had super masculine "characteristics" and hormones just naturally change them. Anyway I joined an FFS group of facebook looking to find a doctor who performed the standard "type III" forehead reconstruction. Males have a typical brow bone that protrudes out, and honey mine had to go. I found Dr. Bryan Rolfes in Minnesota he was recommended to me by another girl in the group. I was looking for someone in the Midwest because I didn't feel traveling far from home, also I knew I wanted a natural aesthetic not a super fake/ a plastic doll. We had a consult in the fall of 2018, and planned for surgery on December 11th 2018.
December 11th 2018 came faster then I expected. Next thing I knew I was on the operating table having my forehead sliced open, bones sawed down and skin lifted. It was pretty cute. I woke up pretty okay for just coming out of surgery. When I arrived to my airbnb I sat down and felt nauseous. A few minutes later I threw up blood. (which is to be expected) Dr.Rolfes and a girlfriend at the time warned me about this. After 7 days of being in the Minnesota cold(beautiful tbh) I had my staples removed and nose cast taken off. When my cast was off my nose was super swollen, (which is normal) but I loved it! It was like the new me. He knew exactly what I wanted and made it happen. Now being 7 months postop, I am obsessed with my results and natural aesthetic. It will take time for your nose to settle and adjust, you won't see the final result anyway until a year. The procedures I had below were Type III Forehead Reconstruction, Rhinoplasty, Brow lift. If anyone has any questions about this surgery or what to expect you can always PM me. Also before having FFS I bought a book that gave me a lot of pointers. I recommend all trans women who are interested in having this surgery buy it, and read it. It's called "The Look of a Woman: Facial Feminization Surgery and the Aims of Trans- Medicine" If anyone has any questions please feel free to message me.

okay so here we go..
hey y'all so this is a space where I will be documenting about my transition, instead of doing a youtube video I'd rather post my journey here. a little background about myself? I'm a 25- year old trans-woman from the midwest. I've been transitioning now for about 4 years on medically on hrt. 7 months post ffs(facial feminization surgery)... I'll get into another post about that later. now I am planning on having my last two surgeries in the new year. new year new me....LITERALLY lol this is something that I've always wanted, and felt on the inside.
so you may ask .. what else do you do besides be a "tranny"? well I am a daughter, aunt, niece, sister.. and I'm currently a manager at my families restaurant. I've worked in cosmetics for the past 4 years. however due to corporate america, and I feel like a wee-bit transphobia I was let go back in 2017. I've realized that was honestly such a blessing in disguise. working with family I am blessed to have a safety net to take off my preferred work of choice for my surgeries to finally feel whole and complete(sacrifices). for 25 years I've always felt like I was in the wrong body. I couldn't connect with other boys my age.. all of my friends were girls. I thought in my head I liked girls, but I actually felt like I was one. anyway next post will be about my ffs surgery I received this past december. I'll also touch that with dysphoria.
