    Im a 64 year old CIS male and I have no idea why your videos popped up on my feed - but this is the 4th one I've watched and I just want to say you're an amazing person. You are so freakin' brave and together given everything - more than most who don't have your adjustments to deal with. I know you will survive and thrive - best of luck and have an amazing life!

      Not sure where she is considering for surgery. But for most it is not too bad. Typically in the uk, 1 week in hospital. Surgery on the first day, with a few days bed rest. 5 days later, catheter out and allowed out of bed, and dilating starts (3 times a day). 2 days later sent home. 2 weeks at home before being allowed out. Another week until allowed to drive.
      Dilating 3 times a day for 8 weeks, slowly reducing until once a week.
      Pain minimal. Far less than you would expect. Paracetamol was all that was required after a couple of days.
      Worst part with some surgeons was 3 days of a “clear liquid diet”.

    I can’t remember if she said anything about going to the bathroom on her own after. I can imagine both peeing and pooping would be incredibly uncomfortable experiences plus you’re trying to keep that area constantly clean and free of bacteria because you quite literally have open wounds down there. Every aspect of this type of transition and healing has got to be one of the most difficult things a person could go through and I will never understand how anyone could think a person would go through it for attention or as part of a “phase”.

    The way you talked about how you feel post surgically about the most private parts and loss of inhibition, I couldn't help but notice the entire experience sounds almost EXACTLY like what childbirth is like. The epidural, having everyone seeing your private parts, the sitz baths...they offered me a mirror when the baby was coming out, I chuckled knowing the exact feeling you had when they removed the packing and asked if you wanted to see it...same feeling, the soreness, hunching, feeling of stitches pulling...the catheter because of the swollen urethra, I mean, girl, you just experienced the birth of a new human, instead of it being an infant it was your true self...I understand the differences but couldn't help but notice the parellels!

Kathy and I were not involved, but had common interests of sports cars and progressive rock music in common. I know being just twenty at the time I met her, and rather naive, I asked a lot of questions that probably you have dealt with. But I never saw her as anything but a woman, same as I see you.

In response to Maya though, that surgery seems absolutely brutal. You must have been desperate to transition to undergo that. Geeminey, as my mom used to say.

They are being filleted, completely basically amputated and patched back together and to urinate alone the first time is like a bladder infection x’s a 1000 I’ve seen on documentaries!

    I love this explanation of the realism of your surgery. I had to get a surgery down there myself and it wasnt for gender reassignment, it was for a pathology or medical issue that developed. It is traumatic getting surgery there, especially when things become changed in appearance and in functionality. I could really relate to this vlog. I thought Maya was so brave to be real about this and it is very high maintenance to get that part of the body to recover. It seems really unfair that some people do not feel they are born into the right body. I am ready for a new different body myself, but I think lots of people can be unhappy inside their body, its not just a gender thing. So to be compassionate for those who are not happy in their body, to honor in your case the difficulty of what you have been through to find your inner peace. This is how to be a supportive human.

    I never heard how a gender reassignment went before. It sounds rough. Hopefully everything will eventually turn out the way you want it to. I have to say,even without makeup you look like a woman. I know I may sound a bit ignorant,well I am. Just haven't heard anyone talk about it before. Thank you.

      At least you are able to not only admit your ignorance, but stay open minded and seek out the knowledge you need to understand

    I really wish I'd come across your channel during the plague. I kinda feel like videos like this might have helped me figure myself out a lot sooner.

    Among the hardest things to do postop is to be patient with yourself. Everyone heals differently, so it's important to "listen" to your body throughout your recovery and to do everything asked of you by your surgeon. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts and it can really become challenging after a while, but the best results will occur for those who are faithful to the recovery regimen (good hygiene and proper dilation). Be kind to yourself. You've come this far, so trust that you have it within you to continue, even when you feel like you just can't go on. Dilation is no joke and is most critical during the healing process. Congratulations and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

    Congrats!! Thanks for sharing your experience so others will know what to expect. This is yet another reason I love Canada. Here in the US the evangelical Christians would NEVER let the taxpayers money.
