In my next book, my main character has her SRS.
Since this is not in my ballpark, I need advice and help to portray an accurate description of everything. Google only gets you so far.
I'd like to create a dialogue with others who could look at what I've written or help me with questions.
Thank you for reading, and hopefully, I will hear back.

SRS
I had SRS in Bangkok in 2007. I made lots of mistakes post op. Neglected proper dilation. Never had a close relationship. I'm 78 now, and would not repeat it. Feel free to PM me.

Is it possible...
To consult an OB/GYN through a family member or a friend??
Never Be A Proper Woman
Surprisingly, even medical folk can be amazingly ignorant about Male To Female Vaginoplasty. I was very surprised to have my primary care Physician want to do a Pap Smear on me. Real female sexual organs are specialized baby ovens. The Vagina is a stretchy, flexible muscled sack, while the artificial Vagina is not at all and will never be capable of supporting a fetus.
For me; the one positive part is the sweaty, itchy penis and sack are gone !!! :)

sure
but since my protagonist is undergoing the surgery, I was hoping to get that point of view. you an google a lot but not first hand experiences
This can be a highly varying subject
It also depends on which time period when SRS/GCS gets done.
Surgical techniques have evolved. Locations where such operations have evolved too, e.g. Thailand is now a very common destination.
etc.
sure
I get that. But I don't want to make up stuff when I can hear it from someone with the experience
First hand experience
Well if you are looking for help then you have to provide context, that is what I was hinting at.
SRS goes as far back as the first Danish woman who had SRS nearly 90+ years now, as an example.
Do you want a composite view in a ficitional time period, have some anchor in a real time period ?
Etc.
The first
Dora Richter was before Lily Elbe/Elvenes/Wegener---and lived through WWII!
SRS/GRS
I cannot contribute over the nature of SRS for any individual, but there are a great many very varied things that use SRS as an abbreviation and this may cause confusion. The circumstances of your question, makes it unlikely here! I am aware that many/most people who know more than me use GRS rather than SRS. I think Gender Reaffirming Surgery is a much nicer term.
thank you
But I thought GRS covers more than bottom surgery
More than bottom surgery
Well there is the term of GCS or Gender Confirming Surgery.
Maybe I am out of sync since I had mine a quarter century ago but it always have meant bottom surgery to me, not boob jobs, FFS, etc.
For an F->M it would consist generally a mastectomy and I assume some kind of torturous implant to increase the size of their clitoris.
SRS
Hi Leslie,
I had an orchiectomy in 3/23, FFS in 8/23, top surgery in 11/23 and my final bottom surgery in 11/24 (PPT Vaginoplasty). I could help you with most any question you have about hormones, surgeries, aftercare and costs. We haven't really communicated since I helped edit some of your early Wildcat work, but I hope you are doing well. :DD

Transgender Considered an Illness
At one time Oregon laws considered Gender Dysphoria to be a delusion but gradually that disappeared. Under Trump that may return. Look for rough times for the gender variant. Trump has a MtF child who will not speak to him.
Cissy Spacex
AKA Mr Swasticar, Space Karen or Muskrat is the one with the trans daughter.
Not Trump
Elon Musk has a transgender daughter. Vivian Jenna Wilson.

Was this an IVF with a selected male embryo?
I’ve seen a claim that IVF was done and a male embryo was selected, but I don’t recall the source. If true though, it suggests that some of the animus is because a transaction failed to reach its intended outcome.
