I'm not sure how my sense of self should be catagorized.
Was I ever a man? Or was I a drag king who didn't know it?
My feelings don't run too close to any of the m2f's I know.
How far would you go to save your life and finally have the
chance of physical satisfaction?
If you were to have a period and it had no means of exit,
that's very bad medically. It will find an exit, even if
that means ripping it's way through your abdomen. If you
had them regularly, you're rolling the dice every time.
Snake eyes means you lose. Every month is like the grim
reaper coming a little closer.
No, the doctors aren't telling me to do this. They can't.
They get in enough trouble for all the infants they victimize.
But I had the choice between life and death, pleasure and
pain. Maybe I didn't really understand what I was getting
myself into. But some choices have alternatives that suck.

Well, there are always choices. If you feel yourself a man, you can
have your ovaries removed. If you feel yourself a woman, you can have
the change. If you're not sure, you may be able to take drugs to
suppress menstruation for a year or so while you figure it out. Or you
may be able to have surgery to allow drainage without having your penis
and scrotum modified (i.e., a cut through the perineum). I'm not a
doctor, so I don't know any details. But I'm sure that you should not
have reassignment until you are certain of your psychological .
