For what reasons did you consider NOT getting the surgery? Didn't you have second thoughts? If you were the only person left in the world would you still care to change your gender? Why did this surgery really matter to you?
I'm not only asking out of my own curiosity, but because I end up discussing issues like this with friends. Although I'm pretty progressive about homosexuality and even polyamory, I don't know where my thoughts are when it comes to PHYSICAL gender change. Like, to me I can't help thinking about sex-changers in the same way I think about people who get cosmetic surgery. In the back of my head I can't help but ask "could this person learn to be equally happy with the body they have if they thought more positively or were simply more easy-going, even if it isn't their ideal? Is this really necessary for their well-being, or is it just based on a desire, like bodybuilders who feel a need to use steroids to be happy?".
I don't mean to offend, I honestly don't know and these are the thoughts in the back of my head.
