Making more progress

In my last post, I said that my chest surgery was important for my transition. But since then I've had a total hysterectomy. Even though this hasn't changed my outward appearance, it has done more to change how I feel about myself than I ever imagined it would, and it did more for me than the chest surgery did. In the trans masculine community, the myth is that chest surgery is the be all and end all of the transition process, but the hysterectomy was the shangri-la for me. As soon as I woke up from surgery, I knew that progress had been made and that the M on my documents mattered and that what was in my head matched my body for real. If you have any questions or would like to talk more about my transition, please let me know.
