Male to Female Operations
With technology becoming more and
more advanced the possibilities are endless. The fact that male to
female surgery is possible and are becoming more common can be mind
boggling. In the land of the free you can say, write, think, and
now even be what ever you want! Our society has gender roles that
not everybody follows, and some people are starting to think that if you
can't change the label's why not just change your sex.
Having a male to female operation
is by no means a short and simple procedure. The continuous
maintenance to your new vagina is very important as well as
painful. One of the things you have to do after the male to female
operations is to dilate your vagina to reduce scar tissue. This
dilation is important to keep a large canal and the pain will reduce
through time in doing this process.
The doctor also will give you
antiseptic cream to apply to your vagina twice a day for about six
months for the most successful results. Also, the importance of cleaning
your vagina, and hands before contact can not be stressed enough.
After the male to female operations
you will be restricted from extreme activities for several months.
Even a routine shave will cause a lot of pain and bruising for a few
days. Furthermore; breast implants will also include sever pain,
but only for a few
days. You should make sure to take the prescribed medications.
It is usually advised to wait at least six weeks before engaging in
any sexual activity.
It is very important to remember
that while female to male operations have rare success in reversal,
male to female operations have absolutely no way of reversing.
The fact that both your penis and testicles are removed makes it
impossible to ever go back to your original sexual makeup.
While you may have the physical
appearance of a female, and mentally feel like you are finally your
true sex, there are still some limitations of your female abilities.
It is impossible to ever get pregnant and give birth. You will also
never go through a menstrual cycle. Breast feeding is also
impossible. However, having sex and even experiencing an orgasm will in fact
be possible.
Possibly one of the hardest things to adjust
in a male to female operations is the voice. In this case hormones
are injected to change some of what are considered secondary sexual characteristics.
The operations do not provide these secondary characteristic changes which
is why the hormones are needed. Hormones will do a number of things
including changing a deep voice to a more feminine one in a male
to female operation. Some facilities even offer speech classes
to help you develop your desired voice following your male to female operations.
While male to female operations can be
very satisfying for some people; it is crucial that you be convinced that
you are 100% ready and dedicated to go through with this process.
You usually have to be approved by three psychologists because male to
female operations is truly a life altering and irreversible procedure.
