An ex friend of mine had it (she was a landlord and while it's a little more complicated, she didnt care for my support of the Maoist land reform).
Seems like while the recovery sucks, it's v affirming!

I think that's the issue here. I mainly seek affirmation through people's interactions with me, not through actual physical changes. But physical changes are required for these desired interactions, some of which I feel eh about, like FFS
Don't worry about not recognizing yourself. My friend got FFS, you're gonna look like the same person but just more feminine. Like your twin sister or something. But the recovery does suck
I would say don't, if you like you and the problem is with other people's perception instead. I wouldn't go changing your whole self at the behest of other people's views, I guess?
Also maybe this is me putting my foot in my mouth, but I tend to think that not every lesbian won't percieve you as a woman or assume you wanna top. No way can all lesbians be that dang cringey.
I'm hoping to get it soon I dont totally hate my face but there are aspects of it that give me pretty bad dysphoria and im sick of being misgendered
I totally feel that on the voice training. My voice was also very deep, and I've finally gotten it around 190hz, with a little farther to go. Voice training sucks because I hate listening to my voice, and listening to a feminine voice is only slightly less cringe. But, Im incredibly glad that I can at least sound androgynous now. Like walking around in public while looking more or less like a women but have a super deep voice is basically unworkably awkward.
Idk is being accepted by society not a valid reason to do things? Like there are a whole range of physics features that you can have, which are not gendered, but which still provoke a strong reaction. If I was a ballerina and I really cared about dancing, and I had some injury that didn't effect my day to day life but stopped me from dancing, most would agree that I should get surgery. But there is no objective reason in this scenario why I need that surgery, it's because of the particular arbitrary conditions of my life that it will improve things. Being a trans women in the 2020s is a particular condition too, but if a somewhat simple surgery will make your life better for any reason why not do it?
Bi women are going to keep assuming
I don't really date cis women so I can't totally speak to this, but my assumption would be that changing this requires a whole different surgery...
