Question about sex change surgery

[Specop 007]

So lets say a guy becomes a girl. Good for him...her...whatever.

But what about the hair? Does the guy(girl) still have to shave their face and whatnot, or do they do something to stop the body hair growth??

i'd imagine everything below the head gets waxed...still have to shave the face... one would think.
dunno.

Doctors give the individual estrogen, which thins facial/body hair. Also, a lot of them have the laser surgery that stops their hair growth.

That's what I would think.

Is this laser surgery permanent in stopping hair growth?

I ask because seriously, I'm damned well and tired of shaving.

Once you start taking your hormones you probably won't have as much hair.
Don't worry, you will be gorgeous.

 

[FoBoT]

you have to take female hormones for years before they chop off your weewee and then keep taking them for the rest of your life

How can people do this? I just don't understand.

I saw a tranny at a party last year.

This dude had better legs than most girls I had ever seen, but you could tell from his jaw and from his forearms that it was a guy. He did have hair on his arms that was darker that what you would expect on a female, but the rest of his body hair wasn't a problem. I think the estrogen and other supplements they give them counter-act the natural testosterone levels...

It facinates me that someone would want to do the whole gender reassignment thing. I don't think I would want to deal with the problems of being a women. (heh...I know my friends are creeps, why would I want to date guys?) Despite all that, it's just more maintenance to be a women. I mean, think about what battling the hair growth is like for women ANYWAY. Geez....I just like being able to roll out of bed in the morning, shower, and get dressed all in 5 minutes. My wife hates me. 😀

It's weird that, after the first 15 years of my life, I was hoping for the facial hair to really start coming in, and after another 15 years I'm wishing it (and its foul brethren) would all just go away :|

I hear the surgeon chops off your cock and shoves it up your arse.

Yup, this guy definitely sounds like someone who was banned.

Don't forget the filleting and inverting!

You need some tasing indefinitely.

It can't just be on a whim. From what I've read, people who seek sex change operations seem to feel like they're stuck inside a body of the wrong sex. I guess it's not something we can easily think of, because we don't really have any "calibration" to allow us to know what it's like.

So tell me, exactly what must your wife (or women in general) do to get ready to go out in the morning? 5 minutes isn't enough time for me, I take that just to get dressed, brush my hair, shave, and brush my teeth. Then there's breakfast and making sure I have everything I'll need for the day. I try to leave at least 20 minutes to get ready in the morning. I also like to be at least mostly awake when I'm driving, too. Driving asleep is really not a good thing at all.

I thought you were in the Army. What will your C.O. say about this?

Don't ask, Don't tell!

Seriously, it's not like they just wake up one day and think "Hmm... I want a penis/vagina..." Transgendered people (and by extension transexuals) are just that. They self-identify as the opposite of their genetic gender. It's rather moving actually to hear transgendered people talking about their lives, especially during puberty. Betrayed is a word that comes up rather frequently.

And yes hormone therapy is a requirement before they'll do a sex change op. It was especially interesting to me (as a male) to hear about female -> male shifts. As I recall one said "before I wanted to cuddle... now I've just got this sex drive that's there all the time..." To me at least, it was a little bit comforting to know that what I feel as an oftentimes "exuberant" libido is normal. I, as have most other men, hear derogatory comments like "All he/guys think about is sex..." rather often.

They just get dipped into a giant vat of Nair for a few minutes by a some kind of winch system. Like Roger and Jessica rabbit at the end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. How do you people not know these things? 😕

[ilovecolombia]

if you dont understand why people have sex reassignment read Hourou Musuko

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugnides was a good one too.

Not supposed to use nair on your balls, my old roommate found that out the hard way.
