Your age isn't the problem. The problem is that you have a childlike understanding of the world and you are letting this very underdeveloped, naive world view dictate decisions to have major, irreversible, life-changing surgeries. You are surrounded by people, including doctors, who will only affirm your desires, regardless if they are grounded in reality or not. I'm not trying to attack you at all. I'm very concerned for you based on the things you've expressed over the last couple of days, after reflecting on them and seeing the above comment that I quoted. You do not have a realistic understanding of what surgeries will do for you. I would urge you to send a PM to u/peakingatthemoment, who is a transwoman who may be kind enough to offer you guidance and help you to better understand biology and your own body. You should be informed before you undergo any surgeries. Good luck.

I’ve known u/derrple for a few years since the old debate sub. They’ve already made permanent decisions and probably don’t agree with me on much anyway in much anyway. I’m probably not the best person to talk someone out of surgery either because it was the right choice for me. It helped my life immensely. I doubt I would happily married with family now if I hadn’t done that. That doesn’t mean it would be right for most people or their couldn’t be complications and it’s probably better if you could cope with natural genitals because surgery isn’t perfect, but if you can’t it helps a lot and can make dating much easier. I know no one wants hear that, but it was true for me…

I wasn't asking you to talk derrple out of surgery. I was asking you to help derrple make an informed decision since they clearly believe surgery will make them physically female, so if they DO get surgery it will be for the right reasons. I guess if you're gonna shrug your shoulders about derrple not understanding basic biology and say 'well it worked for me' then you are right, you're not the person to help derrple.

Sorry if I misunderstood your intention… I haven’t read the whole thread. Yes, no surgery can change your sex. I didn’t realize derrple was thinking that. Literally this bottom surgery uses different parts to create things and it doesn’t function the same way other than for the basic sexual stuff and even then I’m sure it’s different. I still have zero idea what any of that is like for females and I know it’s not the same. It important to be honest about that and it’s sad to read when people pretend it is.

Edit: I see you deleted. I truly hope this wasn’t because of my reply. If you read this, I hope you will reconsider. Your voice here, especially as a desister, is really important. Take care!

You don't have to apologize for the surgeries you've had peaking. It's not wrong to say that it helps some people, it clearly does. I've wanted SRS for years and I was only temporarily dissuaded by that awful surgery propaganda sub that used to exist. But I'd rather have an eldritch abomination than a penis.

Where is my understanding of what surgery will do for me faulty?

I've known peaking for a long time and talking to them isn't going to make my surgical need any less. Even if I have SRS and the results were awful, that is still better to me than currently. I don't care if it makes intimacy more difficult either, that's already difficult for me and I've been looking to cut it out of my life.

Like thinking it will literally give you female primary sex characteristics, make you female, or eventually allow transwomen to birth children. Honestly I don't feel comfortable debating with you anymore. Good luck.
