- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2024
- Today we take an in depth look at my surgery experience, hopefully I can help you be more prepared! Keep an eye on my channel for Feb 12th when i will be releasing another surgery vid about being prepared for surgery and an in depth look at dilation!
To any new viewers, I would like to note that I'm making this series of videos because I feel I can help people with them, but they are an extreme departure from my other content as I am generally a comedic character-centric content creator. I hope you will stick around and check out my other videos!

Thanks for watching, please read this comment for some additional information & context!
First, a couple notes:
21:19 Meant to say ‘stuck in bed for 3 days,’ my brain was just fried. Hospital stay was 12 days.
54:24 By 6 weeks post op the leaking had completely stopped
Now some important info for new & returning viewers!
* Keep an eye on my channel for Feb 11th-12th, I will be releasing a second surgery video in which I give advice about being prepared to undergo surgery, as well as an in-depth look at dilation. Please like and share this video, as the more people this video(and more particularly) my second video reach, the more people we can help here.
* I am still not at a stage in my healing process where I can make any judgement or recommendations for surgeon, location etc. etc. I just don’t have enough information to make an educated judgement at the moment. Please don’t take this video as a confirmation that you should or shouldn’t get surgery in Thailand.
* To any new viewers, I just want to note that this video is an extreme departure from my normal content - I’m just doing this because I think I can help people with this series. Normally I focus on character centric comedy content, I really hope you stick around and check out my other videos because I think you might like them!
* Lastly, this video is just intended to show you what getting gender reassignment surgery might be like. Please note that every surgeon has different processes, techniques, and gives different advice. Your recovery might be different from mine.

Seen a lot of TH-camrs who get GRS do similar, yours has been sterling dear. Thanks for helping by providing your experiences.
Interesting how different things were for me, I had my vag installed exactly a month after you in Belgrade, Serbia. First day was anxiety, fear, checks, talks with doctors and a lot of laxatives :-) the worst part was anal cleansing 2x a day and I was crying while the nurse was doing it. Then on a day of surgery more waiting, more anxiety and fear. Then a nurse came in and told me it's time, so I walked to pre-op room got on that terrible hard plastic bed that looks like a cross and the real anxiety started, my BP was fine until then but it shoot up, breathing got heavy, doctors were very concerned and added some more anesthesia, but I didn't reacted to that, then I remembered I had my ukulele in my room, asked a nurse to bring her, because she always calms me down, a nurse brought my ukulele and immediately I was calm and holding my ukulele after that it all went dark and I woke up hearing: Can you please scoot to the left it would be great, that was me moving from operating table to my bed after surgery, I had asked a nurse to take a pic of me, then then recovery was hard, I was there alone, in the sound proofed room, the loneliness was super hard, I have no friends or family to support me, only pain I had were my feet as they were clamped in to some steel boots for 10 hours then my back from being in bed, but after one day I was able to get up walk around, after 4 days I was ready to go home but they let me stay for 2 more days because they don't want to discharge people during weekends. On Monday I had my packing removed, had a good look how pretty my vag is and at 15:00 I was on a taxi back to my Airbnb, then I walked to supermarket bought some food and had a proper shower and felt like human and amazing. 10 days after surgery my catheter was removed and I that's it done. Hardest part is isolation in hospital and recovery alone, but you can do it alone, it's hard but it toughens you up, you can do anything, there is no limit
I really appreciate that you are doing this.
I had vaginoplasty over a decade ago and was woefully unprepared for the experience because the prevailing attitude was "we can't say that it's ever anything less than an absolute joy." As a result I went into it expecting it to be far easier than it was and with a poor understanding of risks about less than ideal outcomes, factors that made dealing with both a lot harder - I struggled with the short term recovery because I was unprepared for it to be that difficult and with a poor result (loss of sensitivity) because I had been directly told (including by my therapist) that it was impossible. All of it led to me regretting having surgery, an outcome that definitely would have been avoided with access to better information before surgery.
@@pjotor5 I am so glad how well that went for you! It’s so scary about hearing about it anyway. All of this brings up so many emotions for me. Would be quite convenient to just have one’s neurological sex match everything to begin with 😬😕. It’s all so “fun” to deal with. my main fear obviously if I could is what if they’re terrible, what if they screw up, what if I’m worse off?
I know there’s absolutely terrible surgeons that shouldn’t be practicing, though obviously there seem to be good ones also.
@@DanielleWhite I don’t know how it was 10 years ago but it definitely seems like there’s some surgeons that shouldn’t be practicing. I hate that people have to do so much research to try to figure out if someone’s any good, and what the risks are with any given procedure in any given surgeon.
I hope you’re OK in some capacity.
All of it just brings up so many emotions for me because I probably can’t access anything, there’s so much fear for me if I could, and then others getting to do things I can’t even though I don’t want to have a bad reaction it just makes my brain freak out and feel faint and what not. It’s hard to process.
Waking up from bottom surgery is such a weird feeling, it feels like a SUPER tight tuck. And the first shower where you look down and don't see it between your legs? Wow
Oh yeah hahaha it was pretty wild
Don't make me MORE excited for bottom surgery, please.
(This was made to be a joke. I think it's awesome that it can be so life-changing)
I’m probably lucky that I can’t really see anything anyway
Since I probably can’t do anything about things.
I've had my Orchiectomy I don't know if I can handle the recovery for bottom surgery but the more I think about it the more I want it
As a white British straight (kind of, long story) dude that noone asked for the opinion of. Your an inspiration and thank you for doing this so that people who want to transition can use your story as a piece of strength instead of being ashamed of being in the wrong body. You all are good people.
Thank you so much xx
You are a lovely person❤
I am very curious to know what the long story behind being straight is. Thank you for being a good person
@@omp199 oh eff off with your woke ideals and let trans people exist
@@scrumps101 As a transgender non-binary person, I would like to point out that (1) you don't know enough about this situation to decide what is and isn't ridiculous. Considering all of the health professionals disagree with you should give you pause in your opinionizing on what is and isn't ridiculous, but I know it won't. (2) If you are willing to listen to my lived experience, transitioning is the greatest form of self acceptance I have ever done for myself. And the years of denial and trying to 'accept' my body was more self repression and trying to meet societal standards than anything else. Once I accepted myself and chose to live my life how I wanted to, shit just became a lot easier and better, and of course the transphobes started frothing but I'm not going to go back into the closet and hating myself for the likes of them.
I dont plan on getting this surgery myself, but I am so unendingly thankful that you made this video to inform our fellow gals
You’re welcome. Information is power!
From one trans girl to another thank you for sharing your experience. I hope to have this surgery relatively soon.
Thank you so much!! Good luck!!
Good luck 🤗
good luck!!!
I beg you not to. The Lord made your body how it should be…. Don’t listen to demons telling you to debase yourself and destroy your manhood.
The painful irony is that you will only “be in the wrong body” one day when you realize your manhood was sacrificed to this sick world.
Jesus touch this person
Good luck! I hope I can get on HRT in the future.
While I'm cis, I've had trans friends talk about this surgery and metoidioplasty. Thank you for sharing your journey to help others and I wish you luck on the follow-up surgery!
Thank you so much!!
What is this cis??? A made up bullshit from the ugly confused psychos that wanna be women😅😅😅! How mad can you be??? So nothing like cis-mis words!!! It is called a WOMAN!!!! And the wanna be crazy ones 😂😂😂😂!
No cis is made up.
You are a woman not cis!
Calling yourself cis... don't be such a simp.
It isn't a meaningful word, it is slang that degrades fact and it is completely unnecessary. You say, "whilst I am not trans" for example.
"Man" "woman" are full complete descriptions that do not require, nor never will require, embellishmnet or any type of added descriptor. They are complete, succinct, and correct.
The lil bit with you mum at 31:00 made me tear up 😭From a trans girl in Canada keep kicking ass and im sending you the biggest internet hug!
Thank you for opening up about this! I've wanted to get bottom surgery forever but it's a very expensive and intimidating surgery. It's good to hear other people's experience.
You’re welcome xx
While I don't ever plan on getting bottom surgery (it's too scary and costly for me 😅), I am so glad you were able to, and that you were able to share your experience with everyone. I really hope you are able to help out people who are considering getting bottom surgery after seeing what your experience is like
I respect that, it was certainly scary!!
Your mom is so cool and supportive. I'm glad you had her to lean on through all of this
She’s fucking awesome
@@aliceinwonder1andAbsolutely... 💕
A complete failure
It's very brave and kind of you to share something as personal as this. ❤
I want to help people!
@@aliceinwonder1and 💗
As someone who has multiple surgeries in my life, complete understanding being nervous about having surgery. As had the same experience with high blood pressure when I was dealing with doctors when I had my second bout of cancer. They failed to understand why someone might freak out after given them terrible news. Sigh…
Aww. I’m sorry that sucks a lot. Hope you’re doing better now
@@aliceinwonder1and Yes, thank you. Recently made it to my five year cancer free mark. Hopefully your recovers will also go well.
Yes, it’s clearly so complicated why someone might freak out 🙄🙄🙄
My blood pressure goes up anytime I’m around doctors and whatnot, much less before surgery I should think!
I’ve only had surgery once, and it was like laparoscopic so comparatively no big deal at all and yet I was terrified, and even then I wasn’t really back to normal for months.
I had really low energy for months, I could barely read for two weeks afterwards
Thankfully I feel totally fine here years later!
Your relationship with your mom seems so sweet, I'm really happy for you 😊 Big hugs to both of you 🫂🫂
I love her a lot
I don't need bottom surgery cuz I'm already a bottom. Now all jokes aside I'm happy for you and I wish you to live the best life you ever can.
Hehe silly bottom. Thanks xx
This video made me very much cry. You are a strong lady. @@aliceinwonder1and
Does that mean now Alice became a bottom?
@@aylen7062 she did it for pegging ofc
as a young transfem, I still don't know if I want bottom surgery or not. Videos like this help me get a better idea of the experience. Thank you so much for sharing.
Either way, unfortunately I think it’s extremely important to research any given surgeon and procedure that you might look into. It definitely seems like there’s some surgeons who don’t know what they’re doing and shouldn’t be practicing.
I hate that it’s our responsibility to research this stuff!! Not remotely fair.
For that matter, we’re already stuck researching stuff about other things like HRT since so many medical providers don’t know what the hell they’re talking about
Don't do it, a lifetime of MISERY
@@ninajustiniano9055 Why do you care so much? Do you want my penis?
@@ninajustiniano9055 I mean only if you use a terrible surgeon, which is unfortunately why you need to look in to how well an individual surgeon’s results go.
Just because a woman might have a manly cock and balls doesn't mean she's not a strong woman. A penis doesn't make you a man!
Congrats! 🍾🎈🎊
NOW PUT ON THE MAID OUTFIT!
ALREADY DONE
As a fellow trans girl, this was so incredibly inspiring, from start to finish. And the relationship you have with your mother is just so heart-warming and refreshing to see.
Please keep spreading educational information like this. Not only does it help us trans people, but it helps educate so many cis people too!
Truly wish you the best, Alice ❤and I hope you have a good revision
Here, have a blåhaj 🦈 :)
🫴
Thank you!!
Oh my gosh, I love your ending to your message! 😅
I’ve only been able to watch this slowly over the course of days because it’s kind of emotionally rough for me. But I teared up when her mom came in, when they were being separated, and kissed her on the forehead.
I’m tearing up again saying that now.
@@rebeccasam3434 It was so wholesome 😭 I was hugging my Blåhaj so tightly while watching it 😢 🦈
aaaaaaah! I really need to get Blåhaj... Do you have a big one or little one?@@hubblebubbledouble
I’m delighted that it went well for you! I hope the revision surgery goes swimmingly.
Thanks!!
@@aliceinwonder1and how do you have time to reply to so many people… very impressive, though I can’t imagine you sleep that much
I am so envious, Florida is being funny right now and I still have to go through high school until I can transition, thanks for keeping my spirits high.
Aww stay strong xx
The transition is safer the older you are so you can be fully developed for better results. It is not on you it is just on science of your body and puberty... at least for actual surgery for transitioning. Also, I am not coming at you just giving facts, went to school for a BS in science.
@@lyricalsmilez
Oh, you have a BS in science? That doesn't qualify you to give to medical advice to a stranger you've only read a single message from pal.
Otherwise I'd be able to open a doctors office with my degree in astronomy 😂
@@lyricalsmilez surgeries are pretty much only accessible to legal adults. Other stuff we’re better off avoiding the wrong puberty. Ditto for cis people too, it’s just cis people get the right one by default.
Just because you chop off certain body parts doesn't change who you are. I wish you could experience love for your body the way you were born
I found your channel 3 weeks ago and in that time you doubled your follower. Congratulations Girl!
It's great how well the operation has gone so far and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it only takes one more operation and that you'll be happy. It's also so nice to see your mother supporting you.
Thanks!! Me too
Special cheer for your Mom, you are a great parent.
Thank you, I love her very much
Yeah, big cheer for a supportive mom!
aw heck yeah, i was waiting for this!! quite helpful, thanks for making this video, a lot of people, myself included, are really gonna benefit from knowing what to expect from bottom surgery!!
You’re so welcome!!
I just wanted to say that you're like my favourite woman of all time, your videos never fail to put a smile on my face.
Aw thank you so much
I am currently in Bangkok. I just woke up from anesthesia at Kamol. I just have to say your room is huge!
Fast recovery!
I was going to get surgery myself in two weeks, but the surgeon's office screwed me over and it's not happening, so I just can't bring myself to watch this yet. It all hurts too much. I really appreciate you making this video for us, I'll come back to watch when I'm ready, I'm sorry
Aww I’m really sorry. That’s awful. Hope you get it soon
I’m so sorry. If you get to be scheduled again somewhere please do as much research as you can about the surgeon and outcomes and stuff, because they’re definitely seem to be terrible surgeons.
I’ve been watching this video slowly, I’m only 18 minutes in so far and that’s after probably a few days.
It’s really hard for me, as has been processing surgeries that friends have had, because it’s like I can’t access it and it just brings up so many emotions and makes me have to confront things I guess, I had really extreme reactions to friends that I didn’t want to have and didn’t know I would have.
Zero clue things were going to hit me so hard
Just don't do it!
@@nana73carol46 Why? Unfortunately I think everyone needs to do a lot of research on specific surgeons and specific methods before selecting something, and obviously weigh the risks and everything but…
Might be a blessing in disguise.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Your courage to share these vulnerable days is much appreciated, and a valuable resource for those who come after.
I’m ftm but I always find it interesting to hear about the “opposite experience” hah. You’re so brave and inspiring! Thank you for sharing this
You’re welcome!!
Wow i also commented about how educational it is to watch different experiences as a trans man too
@@Bloody_Corpses if you could get a penis would you? I've read that they're working on something.
@@Bloody_Corpses yeah, I found it really helpful to hear from guys. It’s absolutely amazing to hear experiences that are so similar but inverted.
One of my best friends is male and going through… sigh.
Dear Alice,
I just wanted to say you are incredibly strong for going through all this and it's such a great thing for you to do to share all of this, thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
You are such a beautiful storyteller. I love the way you speak and you just tell everything just like it is I love learning about this kind of stuff. This is a part of life for a long time now people need to understand what other people go through, and if there’s nothing wrong with them, it’s just they were made in the wrong body.😊
I want to tell you, I’ve watched many many videos about this subject. I’ve also as a teacher had many many students that went through this you by far seem to be the most educated on the subject, the most well spoken and eloquent you should probably think about being a speaker for this. I hope that life brings you everything that you want you deserve it and you’re beautiful.❤
woo!
you go girl!
hell yeah!!
I just wanna hug you. This video is amazing and helpful to so many people, myself included. Oh and your mom is an absolute MVP.
Thanks so much for posting this - it's really helping me appreciate the entire process and realized how much I've wanted it. I'm very happy for you and looking forward to your follow up videos!
Alice, you are an inspiration! I am currently completely at the beginning of everything (mtf), not even in social transitioning, but following your journey is eye-opening. Let's see where the years will take me. You have a new follower. Thank your for sharing this personal experience, i sent it to a friend of mine who is planning on getting GRS, i bet it helps her figuring stuff out and preparing herself. Love from germany.
Thank you welcome aboard
The hell we go thru just to feel 'normal', cis people will never appreciate it. Much love to you, your strength is an inspiration. My own story is similar. You did it. YOU DID IT! 💜
Cis people? You mean normal? Why would I want to know what they go through most of these transitions don’t end well you know why because it’s not normal !
Not cis simply a woman, and no I think people that have their genitals removed are bat shit crazy!
what is "normal"? they will never feel this way...its tragic
Such an amazing and truly informative video. Everyone who is considering surgery should watch this. Plus your mom is amazing. Big hugs to both of you
Thank you!! Glad you liked it
I love that your momma is so supportive! 💕
Thank you for sharing such an articulate summary of your experience Alice, it helps so much to hear another persons experience. Im going into a consult this week to get the process started and im excited for when it finally comes to the surgery date! Best of luck with the remainder of your recovery ❤
Thank you! I hope my video helped
I am a 46 yr old Trans Woman and watching this video has helped me with my decision in regards to GRS. I have enjoyed watching your video’s and this one doesn’t disappoint at all! Thank you so very much for taking the time to make this video girl! I am so happy for you and am looking forward to the day that I can be in your shoes.
I’m rooting for you!
You have a fetish called autogynephelia. Stay out of female only spaces sir. We will not participate in your sexual deviance.
Your deeply positive attitude & outlook, along with your beautiful relationship with mom, was tantamount to walking you through this procedure. That, alone, is so incredibly vital. Hoping all remains well for you on your continued transition journey 💖
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. My surgery is scheduled for Dec 17th of this year. So all the information I get ahead of time is greatly appreciated.
Good luck!!
@@aliceinwonder1and Thank you, so much!
Thank you, Alice, for taking the time to make tjis video. Even if what I go through is not the same, being able to see your pre, post-op and such is a big help and gives me a general idea of how it can go. Thank you for making this video, Alice! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I’m so glad things went well for you with your Mum by your side.
I’ve had this surgery on the mind for a while and seeing your experience not only moves me but also gives me a good idea of what I may go through. Admittedly I’m very intimidated, but your advice helps make it a little less scary.
Congratulations, Alice! ❤️
Glad I could help!!
I get nervous just posting a comment on Reddit. I couldn't imagine uploading a blog that's so open and honest like this. It's legit inspirational! Thanks so much for sharing, the vibe of this video is so good, and I'm super glad you're doing well!! :)
Thank you so much!!
Yeah, the number of monsters out there, it literally is… I probably said too much in this comment section already and I worry about saying stuff on Reddit because of the monsters/sociopaths
Thank you so much for sharing this Alice 🥺 it's without a doubt going to help a lot of people. You are wonderful.
Thank you so much!
This was excellent, and so helpful and informative. Thanks so much for posting!😊
Thanks so much for sharing with us! I'm thrilled that you're happy. Just so thrilled for you. Keep smiling, keep living your best life.
Thank you! Will do!
Your story is wonderful, and your video is amazingly thorough.
Your mom is so great. You’re a lucky girl.
As somebody who has had to go through 15 surgeries now by age 15 and (Not gender related due to age obvy.) But also a trans woman. I totally understand the stuff you went through to a certain point. Thank you for making this video for those who need it. Yeah, anesthia does suck and yeah, the clear sh$t is amazing. Glad you made it! You got a new sub girl!
I’ve only had surgery once, and it took me basically three months to get back to normal more or less. The first two weeks I couldn’t even really concentrate to read.
I couldn’t play video games either either. The only thing I was up for was watching TV.
Thank you for being brave and sharing your journey. ❤
I've never had any desire driven motivation to seek this sort of info out. But I am so glad you've offered us a glimpse into this. And I'm so glad you've made such a great resource for everyone ranging from those interested in going through with this procedure to those who just want to demystify the experience as its something not even adjacent to an experience I've ever had.
Gosh, I did not expect to cry as much as I did watching this. So happy for you Alice! I hope maybe one day this will be me.
Thank you for posting this! My surgery is in two weeks so the timing on watching this was amazing.
Good luck!!
Congrats ma’am!
Also the line at 18:31 had me laughing hysterically, props to you
Thank you soooo much for this video. I'm gonna have my surgery at the end of this year and it is so nice to see your recovery. The surgery is gonna be somewhat different where I am going, but I feel like this video helps me and hopefully other people a lot! Hope everything works out for you and I am super excited for my own journey
Good luck!!
Thank you for being so open.
SLAY
I CANT WAIT
UNTIL I EARN
ENOUGH MONEY TO DO THIS MYSELF-
GLAD IT WENT WELL
Good luck!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Alice! Bottom surgery is something I'm looking into myself, so seeing this was very valuable to me. Hope your revision surgery goes well
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this. I've been looking forward to hearing how things went. I appreciate you sharing your details.
You are so welcome
yes, i've finally found the time to watch your video entirely and you can't imagine how, despite the "bad" parts of your experience, i felt inspired.
you are a big inspiration for me since a long time but this video really take the cake.
i didn't really want surgery since i came out to myself 3 years ago, but the idea has begun to take more and more root in my mind since i've started hrt last summer. and now i feel like i really need it.
but since i am, however, like you said a faint of heart, i may need to prepare myself mentally for months. but after watching you (and reading about other people experiences for the past few month) i feel like "yeah, i can do this", because i really, really want it.
i mean, like you said, the lingerie. not even that, just feeling good in a standard issue pantie without for it to be a tucking one would be quite the amazing feeling i can't wait to have.
(also sex. i mean. come on.)
so thank you alice, again, for sharing this with all of us.
ps : about the dream, of course i don't have the experience, but i guess just the brain processing what's happening. also there is this thing called "phantom vagina" which is really present in transfem people, and maybe it's part of the reconciliation of who we were wired to be from the start (women) and what your body finally is?
i'll turn back in 2 years (the waiting time it's usually for this kind of surgery in france) when you're big and famous to tell you if i got the same thing x).
Excellent video, thank you so much for documenting your experience!
You’re welcome! Thank you xx
I'm so happy for you!
Thank you :)
You’re so lucky you have a beautiful mom and you’re so close with her like that.
Thank you so much for sharing all your very intimate journey with us. Has helped me loads, as now I know what to expect.
Your channel is amazing ❤
You are so welcome!
thank you soooooooooooo much for making this. i've been pursuing bottom surgery this year, and i'm super nervous. i have someone who hopefully will be there with me the whole time or at least as much as possible. here's hoping. god. but congratulations for your results, that's wonderful!!
Thank you so so much for sharing your journey i have my first consultation in about 12weeks and i am super nervous about the whole thing.
I'm glad i could gain a glance on how the whole thing is
You have so much more strength then me Alice. I don't think this is something that I will ever be able to do, I don't have the nerve. You are extremely brave, this is such a massive thing and you are absolutely amazing for doing it.
I'm also really glad you have such a supportive Mother, she is a gem. I don't have that support, my parents are extremely unsupportive to the point that I have recently had to make the extremely difficult decision to go no contact.
I am seriously so pleased for you Alice.
omg this is great. i am getting this by the end of the week and while i am scared af, i also want to be prepared!
thank you so much for sharing your expirience!
Good luck!!
@@aliceinwonder1and thank you so much! 😍
its so nice to see how happy you are at the end! glad you shared your joy with us :)
Thanks!!
What a crazy, scary adventure! Much respect to you for being so honest and glad to hear you're doing well. And your Mum is a f'ing champion...you're a lucky girl!
She is!! I love her so much
We made it through there but may I say, you look absolutely fabulous in a for the entire expirence. Love you Alice!
You are so brave. This is one of the hardest things a person could go through, I am very happy for you. This is the second video I have watched and love the channel. Keep up the good work.
I found this channel through AvaThroughFire
Thanks so much for such a detailed and informative video! I am still taking my time considering both hrt and surgery but this video has really given me a good image of what to expect if I decide to go through.
I am transmasc and purely watched this so I can support my best friend once she goes through this. I'm glad this went well for you and I hope I can be as supportive and helpful as your amazing mom was!
Ooh I’m glad, I hope everything goes well!!
i had srs 3 weeks ago ♡ its such an amazing feeling, i'm finally free! congratulations 💕
Awesome and hopefully your very happy? Fantastic!
Only plan on getting the jambags removed but its so good to have all of this neat information, happy for you!❤
Thanks!
Interesting to here of your procedure differences. I went from standing in a hospital gown, flashing Dr Brassard, and his remarking "lots of skin" I think that was a positive. Then surgery, not sure how long it was to be honest. Number of hours. And from there it was finished aside from recovery. I gained B cup breasts (I could have gone to C but decided nah). I can say that no man can tell if I was born with a vagina or not. My family doctor remarked during my first girl style exam "nice work" funny comment while my doctor is staring at my hoohaw considering I have been male with him for decades. I have had no issues.
I'm hoping to go with Brassard for my surgery... I'm really excited but also thinking about it for too long triggers my goofy ass anxiety ughh. I need this so so so badly but it also seems like the scariest thing I'll ever do. Hearing other people's stories helps normalize it though, so that's good. Thank you for that :)
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I hope that things go well for you going forward and that you are satisfied with the result
Thank you xx
What a wonderful video, I don't usually comment on much but this video has helped me understand better what I want. Even though I can see it is brutal and terrifying I still think this is something I want despite how hard it would be. Thank you for the video.
This video has been extremely informative. Thank you so much for showing the whole process! You're awesome!
Glad it was helpful!
OMG the wet dream thing! NEVER happened EVER before my surgery, now it's... every couple weeks? Only annoying because it can interrupt my sleep, but otherwise? HELL YEAH!
IM NOT ALONE !!
Oh wow, I haven’t gotten that far in the video yet because it’s really emotionally difficult for me to watch so I’m doing it in small chunks. Sigh.
It turns out I found out that I don’t actually work like how one would assume I would work in a lot of ways. I had no idea until I started researching stuff a few years ago.
I wish I had gotten to that point in the video so I could know exactly what the two of you were talking about but I’ve only had one dream that was… once, in high school, and my body was right in it.
That’s the only dream related to THAT I can remember, though sometimes I’m right in dreams, which is wonderful. The rest of the time typically just can’t remember my body. But sometimes it’s right.
Yeah right, your fantasy doesn't match biology. Nutless is what nutless is.
I am envious as a cis person
Wow I have so many questions as I was born a woman I do find this amazing! It’s incredible to see how far things have come for the community. Congratulations 🍾
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are amazing!
I used to work as a nurse in the operating room where they did gender reassignment. We had an urologist make the vaginal canal and the plastic surgeon did the rest. One time the plastic surgeon wasnt happy with the depth, and said to the urologist: make it deeper, this is not for show" (being able to have sex)
Thank you so much for this video. My next therapist appointment we will be talking about surgery. You have given me great insight into it. I was so emotional watching this. Congratulations 🎉💓 Looks like it's gonna be harder than my brain surgery was. I'm SO ready though.
I'm both nervous and excited for the day I get my grs surgery this video is comforting to know its perfectly normal to feel this way big love to you Alice x
Thank you!
This is amazing. You are amazing. I am so happy for you! I haven’t decided to get this surgery yet. I keep going back and forth. This video helped, it answered some questions that i have had. Thank you

Thank you for making this video. Even after seeing this, hearing about the difficult journey ahead... I know it's the right choice for me.
Thank you so much for this video. I am going in to the surgery the 5th of march and I am already spiralling. You are so awesome!❤❤❤
Thanks! Good luck
Vert informative - thanks very much. Good luck for the future.
57:15 Quite honestly I think it's a important topic to talk about. I myself am still so hard on the fence regarding bottom surgery that the fencepost is leaving marks.
Overall deathly scared of surgeries and partly hospitals as a whole, but I always worry that I'll lose any sensation, feeling or drive. That along with the fear of regret, but als dealing with the fear of regretting not doing it.
Some of the reason why I'm letting future me make this choise too once I'm actually on HRT and stuff
Fair enough. Takes a lot of thought honestly
If nothing else, make sure you do a lot of research about the specific surgeon that you might be considering, as after a few years of sort of seeing people talk about stuff it’s obvious some don’t know what they’re doing. I hate that it’s up to us to figure so much stuff out that’s hardly fair!
I don’t really know for sure what I would do if I had access to surgeries because they’re really scary and I know there’s bad results but if I could have good results???
I’m really thankful I was able to access HRT finally. I should’ve started this sooooooo long ago.
If nothing else given me so many benefits already. Including it got rid of the constant pounding headaches I used to have!
