As I’ve posted here a bit over the last year or so and haven’t really in the last couple of weeks, I thought I’d contribute a bit of an update. As is usual with trans spaces, this one is predominantly filled with posts by people just starting out, which makes sense and isn’t something I’m surprised by in any way. To balance this, I want to report back a bit how life’s been post-op.

I’m now almost 6 months post op, which feels crazy to write because it doesn’t feel that far away at all. Half a year already! Life has mostly just been… quiet. I now feel very much at home and at peace in my body and am no longer constantly reminded of the tumor between my legs, as I called it in a previous post. I just feel good, comfy and wonderful, I have to say. I don’t think about my genitals at all, really. I don’t have a partner and am borderline asexual, so it’ll probably be quite some time until I have sex with the new parts and I don’t feel particularly antsy about it. It’ll happen when it happens, I guess.

The most significant change for me is fashion. I just don’t have to think about what I wear anymore, leggings are fair game as are light pants that used to blow in the wind in unfortunate manners. It’s so easy, I really love it. Just like that, being trans has taken a large step back in my day-to-day, it isn’t really anything I think about every day anymore. And that’s so wonderful!

I was motivated to make this post because I had my first post-op orgasm today. It was pretty cool, though the feeling wasn’t even that different. That changed on HRT already for me. Anyhoo, enough gloating. I just wanted to spread some joy and positivity!
