If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns.

You are right I should ha e given more information. I went ahead and update the main text but so you have it. Surgery: Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty, Surgeon: Dr. Gerhard Mundinger. I had one virtual appointment in February of this year and in that appointment they helped me find therapist that I cab get with for letters, and place near me to get hair removal. After I got the letters with in about a month (I have been transitioning for years so I had more then enough medial history and information needed that it didn't take them long to sign the letters). I then spend the next 5 months getting hair removal. Partly though this process my surgery date was set. I then had a physical appointment with my surgeon a week before the surgery. Then I just showed up at the hospital 3 hours before the surgery and from there I just let them do what they needed and slept a lot until I was released 48 hours later. Then I spent a week pretty mush in bed. I have 3 post op appointments with my surgeon. The first one was last week and that's when I started the process of dilation. Which to be fair has been the most awkward and frustrating part so far. I have my fiancé helping me and honestly without them this whole last week and half would have been near impossible. So above all you need a care taker you can depend on and will be willing to do basically everything for you.
