hi I'm literally recovering from surgery right now, I'm on week 4 after surgery. You aren't joking at how invasive this surgery is. The aftercare for me at the beginning was doable, a chore i needed to get over with but not necessarily exhausting. Now within a few days I'm FINALLY able to dilate only twice a day, because nowadays it's become really exhausting to waste hours of your day, and plan everything around dilation and care. I'm still not sure if everything is okay since its been only 4 weeks. I'm still happy I did it, but they're not joking that dilation is freaking exhausting. I'm proud of you for being able to speak out about it, hopefully it helped you aswell to talk about it. I'm struggling to get out of bed lately because I know the first thing i gotta do is dilation. hopefully you're in a way better place now
hey, i wanna let you know that i am so proud of you for hanging in there!! i know how rough the recovery is and how many complex feelings come with it. you are not alone ❤️
After a couple of years have passed and everything has settled down then life takes on a more normal phase. Transition and SRS drift into the past and your new self takes over.
You were one of the first trans creators I found after accepting myself as trans, when I was still in that phase of staying up way past midnight when everyone was asleep to search everything I could think of about what it meant and what I could do about it. Since your last video (other than the song) I've started hormone therapy, came out to my friends and family, started wearing makeup, gotten my ears pierced, and accepted myself as bisexual You've had a major impact on me and I'm so glad to hear from you again because your videos are extremely comforting to watch, obviously I'm not expecting anything at all but if you happened to decide to upload more often I certainly wouldn't complain :)
I'm so glad you're okay, not so glad that you had a rocky path to follow. Great to see you again! Every video is a bonus. No timetable, no pressure. It often surprises me when attractive people have genuine insecurity about their looks. You're a very elegant young woman and I suspect many of your subscribers would agree.
Wow. I don't know why the algorithm put your video into my feed, and I didn't know what "op" you're "post", but I clicked. I'm wholly unaware of those kinds of surgery details and life changes, it's all pretty foreign to me. But, what a harrowing undertaking! Anyway, you've got a long life ahead of you and I hope you keep acting so bravely. You're an impressive young lady.
hi Robin, welcome back. I am Dutch, But let's talk English anyway. It hurts me to hear how hard it has been for you. both the operation and the reactions. but know that there are many who care deeply for you. great to see you here again and that you made the right choice. love you❤
I'm three-ish weeks out from Vulvoplasty (so not even having to deal with dilation), but f**k if recovery hasn't been way more mentally challenging than I expected. I came into surgery with like my best mental health, but by week 2 i was just like woah this is gonna be a long haul before being back to my regular life functions. Before surgery I regularly walked for hours a day, and I'm still just trying to handle walking and standing a reasonable amount. It does help when surrounded with people excited for you, but then if people are less excited about it, or if you are feeling alone, I've found that to be super challenging. Trying to remind myself that in a few months I'll be back to sort of functioning...and by this time next year things will be going so much better. One day at a time, right? Looking forward to that "enjoying and in tune" phase some day in the near future.
I honestly do not remember how I ended up to your chanel some years ago... I love the honesty. Sad about the hard times, but happy about all the postive stuff. 😊
Thank you for posting this! I love the simple but sincere, and brutally honest share. I have done everything I want to do now.. except for this. I am seriously thinking twice about it now. In the meantime; I am still just another woman walking this earth and living her life. I will search back and watch more of your videos - thank you! 💗
Great to see you again, wonderful video, I love your vulnerability and honesty talking about the MOST personal parts of your life. You do us all a service. I hope you receive EVERY BLESSING life has to offer. You deserve them. Cheers and hope to see you again before too very long. :)
Just what I needed to see right now! ❤ I had my surgery down there 8 months ago and it has been a lot for sure, but am so so glad I did it! I am in a much more confident phase now and am excited for the future. Anyone who goes through this is a fighter!
I'm so happy that you made this video!! I've really missed and waited for you for so long. You are such an honest and real person and I really needed to hear from you. I understand about BPD I was diagnosed earlier this year and have lived the majority of my life in a depressed state. It's not fun. I want SRS myself as soon as I can afford it but that's going to be in the future. The last video that I saw from you was the music video, are you going to do more? It was beautiful and so soothing. Anyways, I hope that you stay on RUclips making videos!! Much love and luck from all your bitches ❤
Hey, I've been following you for a couple years now and I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey and for keeping it real all this time. You may not be an influencer but you did impact my life, giving me comfort or making me laugh (deadpan humor remains underrated tbh) especially in times where I felt like I was stuck or going backwards in my journey. That's not something I take for granted. Realizing the last video was in October made me go wow because it feels like my transition has followed the steps of yours and I've made so many moves since. I'm now looking forward to my GCS in the next two years, hopefully. All depends on how I fit it into my upcoming plans of coming back to school. Hearing you talk about the difficulties of recovering really helps me prepare long in advance for the surgery. Especially the part about being aware there's the possibility of having to get a revision, that things may not go the way I expect them to. One thing at a time though, as I have FFS coming up first in October. Time flies by so fast. Glad to see you here again and that you're doing okay now.
By far the best video on this subject. Made me cry, smile,and feel better. Just a regular girl a million miles away. Literally awesome. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi, Robin! So happy to hear from you again. Very good to hear that your mental state has improved. You've become a lovely young woman with many years of life ahead. I played the vids from six months ago and 11 month ago where you sang. Your voice is wonderful and I hope you make more singing vids.
Robin, I am really proud of you what you have done so far. Keep believing in yourself and follow what you feel and believe what is true to your heart. Unfortunately and sadly there are haters out there in this world, but keep in mind that you have more supporters than haters. Keep it up girl!
I'm so proud of you that you managed to get through it all. I'm going through it myself now and I know what it's like. You did a great job on yourself. Thank you very much for your video. 🙂
I miss you so much. One video a month would be enough for me. You are one of my favorites to watch on RUclips. Please keep posting. Love your glasses. Crazy beyond beautiful.
Thank you for this candid and honest video. I disagree with your last point about not getting GRS "if there is any other way you can tolerate" genital dysphoria. The simple fact is, if there were a way we would not be taking such drastic measures, and I think you feel the same way. By the time any trans woman has jumped through all of the hurdles necessary to achieve getting GRS, she's almost certainly had plenty of time to think about it. I myself am less than a week away from surgery, and I'm fully expecting it's going to be a grueling year going forward. If there were an alternative I would take it, but the simple fact is: there isn't. I'm really looking forward to a year from now when the worst of the ordeal will be over. In the meantime, I'll be doing my best to take care of myself, knowing that I'm making the best of a crappy situation.
It doesn't have to be a brutal year ahead. Take control of your life and keep a positive attitude. The first month is the hardest, and after that get out and about and start moving around again. Two weeks after surgery I was out on a five mile walk. A healthy diet is also very important. Be grateful that you live in a time when treatment is available.
Thank you so much for sharing! I've heard similar issues after surgery... I mean, it's a BIG fucking, life changing surgery that we've been needing and wanting for YEARS!! But, no one ever talks about the downsides... Years of buildup and a lifetime of wanting this, it's hard to adjust to life once it's all over. I'm starting towards my surgical path now, and your honest experience is SO appreciated!! I'm so glad you were able to work through it and get back on your feet. Thank you again
Happy to see you doing well. Your videos are a gem, regardless of upload frequency, lol. They're kind of like a little reminder to unapologetically be yourself.
Robin Jaspers what a sweet sweet girl who has given us followers songs, laughs, education and ear to ear smiles. I personally can never thank her enough for helping me get thru my (2) heart surgeries I was in a deep dark place in my life (depression) and this sweet sweet young girl pull me out of the abyss. She has alway been so real in her you tube and Instagram. So be kind to her convey positive remarkets be a good friend. Robin you are one in a trillion. Stay safe sweet sweet girl. Javier
Hey good on you, good on you for getting through it all. It can't have been easy, but you crushed it, and it's geat to hear that you are so proud of yourself. You look really happy. Long may it continue. Here's to your bright future.
I had SRS using tilapia skin a year ago, now it's all good and I hardly need to dilate but during the first 6 months it was so hard, and I hated that I couldn't talk about it with anyone because then "I made the wrong choice" and you just have to go through this in silence because there's a ton of judgment when it comes to this. It's good that dysphoria feels like a distant memory too though, I definitely made the right choice :D
Glad to see you are doing okay! And thank you so much for sharing your story! (now a Dutch message for Robin:) Echt, oprecht gemeend, onwijs bedankt voor jouw video's! Ik haal zo ontzettend veel steun uit jouw vlogs, en ik deel jouw sentiment op zo veel onderwerpen. Ik ben nog niet zo ver in mijn transitie, maar het lijkt ook steeds lastiger te worden om de juiste zorg te krijgen hier in Nederland. En dan haal ik comfort uit jouw video's. Hier specifiek: Ieder heeft zo zijn/haar eigen reis. En je zal tegenslagen tegenkomen, maar het is zo fijn om ook dezelfde soort tegenslagen horen uitgesproken worden door iemand anders... En fijn om te zien dat je je weer fit en gezond voelt! :3
wat een ontzettend lief bericht! fijn om te horen dat je je kon herkennen :’) het is inderdaad steeds moeilijker, ook in nederland helaas. heel veel succes 🤍
HI Robin. You are right there are haters out there, and you are right too that we transition for ourselves and what we share with the world is OUR choice. However the one thing that I wanted to say is that we cannot let the haters win. As a Kiwi trans-woman who didn't realise who I really was until I was 49, I can only say THANK YOU for being willing to tell your story, it is POWERFUL and it is so HELPFUL and reassuring and informative. Please keep being the wonderful person that you are!
I was very happy to see your face again. I love whatever content you care to share. There are a few things that stand out for me and make me happy. In the past, you didn't hesitate to share some of your negative emotions. You were frank, honest, and brutal, at times. This video you said something that is VERY significant. You spoke about how you are looking forward to your future. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel. Surgery was very significant in my development as a trans woman. I had a lot of internalized shit. It prevented me from allowing myself to be in women's spaces. After surgery, there was no question. I belong and was embraced in women's spaces. I belong to many lesbian groups. Instead of being greeted with hushed tones or silence when I enter a room, the room gets louder. People call my name and offer the seat next to them. It's truly amazing and I feel very fortunate. It makes me happy to live here in this country. I see all the crap in other places, which even permeates our border. However, it's far more comfortable here. I've heard you mention visiting our little corner of the world. Suffice it to say, a majority of this country would welcome you with open arms. If you are ever in the capital region of Canada, contact me. Let me know you are coming. I'll take you to some great places, and to enjoy some amazing food, as well. I'll take you to our trans library and introduce you to members of the community, too. Again, it's great to hear you are content with who you are and have become. You are absolutely correct. No one deserves to be treated badly, simply for being themselves. You deserve to be happy, treated well, and treated with respect. -much love...
Thank you so much for the update! I love the calm and comforting tone and yea it just warms my heart to see a another girl like me I can actually relate to. I didn't expect to, but found this very inspiring and idk grounding for my own journey with bottom surgery (which I haven't gotten yet 🙃). Lovely to hear you are having passions about things and seeing your worth! I'm having a bit of a long depression patch myself but this was nice to see today. Sending so much love your way 💛💛💛
Wow, I 've been following you for a few years and to see the growth in this video is amazing. I'm so proud of you! Thank you for sharing your story all these years. I will be starting surgeries next year. It's scarry to think that time is finally here.
Great to see you again I missed your videos, I'm very glad that the worse period is behind you, I guess it must have been hard for you. I wish you the best with all my heart ;')
Robin, you did so much to help my understanding of the trans person's journey. I cannot imagine how difficult the entire process is, but you've given me so much more understanding. I feel like I know you and your struggles with dysphoria really opened my eyes. I am glad you're doing well!
Hi Robin, Thanks for bringing us up to date with your life's journey. You are a brave soul! And you look great. All the best in your travels and we're all looking forward to seeing you and hearing more. Love and good health!
I enjoyed this so much! I miss watching your videos, and was very happy to see a new notification appear! It was very soothing listening to your voice before going to sleep, hope to see you soon!
To answer your hopes: Yes, your video(s) are very helpful. They reflect quite a bit of my thoughts as well. Especially the dilation, and your statement, regarding only doing surgery, if you can't live without it. Thank you very much.
Ur brilliant. And u've won through. I absolutely can't understand what is wrong with people who make hateful comments against other people. Especially when they do not even know them. Says nothing about trans people. Says a lot about them. Be assured that most people are decent and good and can only wish you the best : ) All the best to you !!!!!! : )
I’m still excited but anxious for my upcoming SRS, hopefully with family & friends support, my psychologist and pure will I’ll manage to pass through the first months of post-op care which are arduous (from nearly everyone I’ve spoken too).
Avoiding online hatred is not cowardly - it's like avoiding a stinky toilet. As for recovery, it is hard work but you gotta keep at it, like you've done. It takes us 18 yrs to grow into an adult, so a year or so to heal your new bits is fast! Things will become routine, scars do heal and then you must focus on your life beyond surgery. You're now where you want to be, so be proud of yourself. It was the right decision for me too, but yea, not for everyone. Go Live your dreams, bitch! Life awaits - go grab it. xx
Robin, I have been watching your content for years! I am a transgender woman too I’m 27. I find that I relate to you in so many ways. If I knew of another trans girl that was starting a transition I’d recommend to watch your videos and TS Madison. That’s all the social media they’d need. ALSO why is Give Me A Minute not on Apple Music in the USA?? You’re music is so amazing. And Jaded is such a great song. Hope you continue to come into your own. Find comfort in yourself my friend ❤thank you!
Your amazing, brave and courageous finding your identity and new confident self. Your future is bright and know that you’re surrounded by love and ppl rooting for you ❤
I'm the dad of a trans girl. Super proud of you for being so honest. So much to think about. Very enlightening for someone on the outside who wants to understand
Bonjour Robin, je suis content de te revoir et avoir de tes nouvelles, tu est tout à fait splendide, magnifique et resplendissante, et on voie que tu assume bien le choix que tu as fait et j'en suis ravie pour toi, ne te laisse surtout pas allez et garde le moral, tu as toute la vie devant toi, bravo et prend bien soins de toi!, merci pour cette mise à jours vidéo! xoxo💘
Just found your channel and subscribed. I’m considering srs surgery and I know it’s not easy. You’re so brave and courageous. I like your energy too. 🙂
This is some valuable content. I'm still just in the queue to get an appointment to even get started on the process of getting HRT, and it'll be months before I get anywhere. I told the referring doc I definitely want HRT but I'm also curious about surgery, but to be completely honest, I'm much more than curious. This didn't dissuade me, but it is very good to be aware of the challenges. Thank you, and strength and honour on your journey!
I'm not trans but I imagine that I would not get this surgery; it is so rough and I am way too lazy to deal with that. Respect to you for doing this difficult thing!
This is my problem. I really can't go on like this. I dropped out of school because I just couldn't deal with the dysphoria breakdowns. I cry myself to sleep every night. And it just keeps getting worse. I can't go on living like this. I am an utterly dysfunctional human being as long as I have to be aware of having these parts. But everything about surgery is just so intimidating. I have been procrastinating on doing research because it is just too anxiety-inducing. I have never even seen a single result photo. Too scared that it'll be not good enough or something. I don't even care about the recovery time anymore. My life is put on hold anyway. I have no obligations. I have no idea about the pain though. I am not in a place where i can trust myself to make responsible decisions. This is hell. But i can get this surgery and maybe the hell will be over in a year.
thank you to everybody who’s commented something nice!! it really means a lot to me to have your support 🤍
you are a sweet representative of humanity. stay safe sweet girl..
When will you make a LP.
You are so Beautiful

You have a spirit in your body making you feel like the opposite sex. It's not you. This road only leads to pain. Pray to God for help.

She seems more relaxed and her confident facade is genuine compared to an act from earlier content.
I honestly do not remember how I ended up to your chanel some years ago...
I love the honesty. Sad about the hard times, but happy about all the postive stuff. 😊
Thank you for posting this! I love the simple but sincere, and brutally honest share. I have done everything I want to do now.. except for this. I am seriously thinking twice about it now.

HI Robin. You are right there are haters out there, and you are right too that we transition for ourselves and what we share with the world is OUR choice. However the one thing that I wanted to say is that we cannot let the haters win.
As a Kiwi trans-woman who didn't realise who I really was until I was 49, I can only say THANK YOU for being willing to tell your story, it is POWERFUL and it is so HELPFUL and reassuring and informative.
Please keep being the wonderful person that you are!
I was very happy to see your face again. I love whatever content you care to share. There are a few things that stand out for me and make me happy. In the past, you didn't hesitate to share some of your negative emotions. You were frank, honest, and brutal, at times. This video you said something that is VERY significant. You spoke about how you are looking forward to your future. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel. Surgery was very significant in my development as a trans woman. I had a lot of internalized shit. It prevented me from allowing myself to be in women's spaces.
After surgery, there was no question. I belong and was embraced in women's spaces. I belong to many lesbian groups. Instead of being greeted with hushed tones or silence when I enter a room, the room gets louder. People call my name and offer the seat next to them. It's truly amazing and I feel very fortunate. It makes me happy to live here in this country. I see all the crap in other places, which even permeates our border. However, it's far more comfortable here. I've heard you mention visiting our little corner of the world. Suffice it to say, a majority of this country would welcome you with open arms.
If you are ever in the capital region of Canada, contact me. Let me know you are coming. I'll take you to some great places, and to enjoy some amazing food, as well. I'll take you to our trans library and introduce you to members of the community, too. Again, it's great to hear you are content with who you are and have become. You are absolutely correct. No one deserves to be treated badly, simply for being themselves. You deserve to be happy, treated well, and treated with respect.
-much love...
Glad to see you again. Glad it was worth it. Take your time, we have your back. 😍
Thank you so much for the update! I love the calm and comforting tone and yea it just warms my heart to see a another girl like me I can actually relate to. I didn't expect to, but found this very inspiring and idk grounding for my own journey with bottom surgery (which I haven't gotten yet 🙃).
Lovely to hear you are having passions about things and seeing your worth! I'm having a bit of a long depression patch myself but this was nice to see today. Sending so much love your way 💛💛💛
Wow, I 've been following you for a few years and to see the growth in this video is amazing. I'm so proud of you! Thank you for sharing your story all these years. I will be starting surgeries next year. It's scarry to think that time is finally here.
Love you and glad you're doing well
Ahhh thank you for hearing more about this
Great to see you again
I missed your videos, I'm very glad that the worse period is behind you, I guess it must have been hard for you.
I wish you the best with all my heart ;')
I’m very happy for you! I’m looking for that happiness in myself as well!
And I'm happy to hear from you again, you don't have to do anything for us we just enjoy your company and catching up on stuff, little sis.
It was worth it Robin :)
Robin, you did so much to help my understanding of the trans person's journey. I cannot imagine how difficult the entire process is, but you've given me so much more understanding. I feel like I know you and your struggles with dysphoria really opened my eyes. I am glad you're doing well!
Hi Robin, Thanks for bringing us up to date with your life's journey. You are a brave soul! And you look great. All the best in your travels and we're all looking forward to seeing you and hearing more. Love and good health!
I enjoyed this so much! I miss watching your videos, and was very happy to see a new notification appear!
It was very soothing listening to your voice before going to sleep, hope to see you soon!
I love your little video, thank you Robin.
Happy for you, live the life out there girllllll
I'm just glad u r back and are healthy.
To answer your hopes: Yes, your video(s) are very helpful. They reflect quite a bit of my thoughts as well. Especially the dilation, and your statement, regarding only doing surgery, if you can't live without it. Thank you very much.
I'm so glad you are doing better ❤❤❤
This means a lot ❤ thank you for sharing your insights😊
Happy to hear & see from you Robin
Looking Good 👍
Big hug from Colorado, Robin.
Happy to see you again and know that you are doing well
Ur brilliant. And u've won through. I absolutely can't understand what is wrong with people who make hateful comments against other people. Especially when they do not even know them. Says nothing about trans people. Says a lot about them. Be assured that most people are decent and good and can only wish you the best : ) All the best to you !!!!!! : )
I’m still excited but anxious for my upcoming SRS, hopefully with family & friends support, my psychologist and pure will I’ll manage to pass through the first months of post-op care which are arduous (from nearly everyone I’ve spoken too).
Avoiding online hatred is not cowardly - it's like avoiding a stinky toilet. As for recovery, it is hard work but you gotta keep at it, like you've done. It takes us 18 yrs to grow into an adult, so a year or so to heal your new bits is fast! Things will become routine, scars do heal and then you must focus on your life beyond surgery. You're now where you want to be, so be proud of yourself. It was the right decision for me too, but yea, not for everyone. Go Live your dreams, bitch! Life awaits - go grab it. xx
Robin, you’re so beautiful in glasses, and the gray and mauve outfit! I had my surgery on aaDecenber
Robin, I have been watching your content for years! I am a transgender woman too I’m 27. I find that I relate to you in so many ways. If I knew of another trans girl that was starting a transition I’d recommend to watch your videos and TS Madison. That’s all the social media they’d need. ALSO why is Give Me A Minute not on Apple Music in the USA?? You’re music is so amazing. And Jaded is such a great song. Hope you continue to come into your own. Find comfort in yourself my friend ❤thank you!
Your amazing, brave and courageous finding your identity and new confident self.
Your future is bright and know that you’re surrounded by love and ppl rooting for you ❤
Nice to see you. Thank you for sharing. Very important perspective. As for your absence, no pressure. Live your life. 😊
I'm the dad of a trans girl. Super proud of you for being so honest. So much to think about. Very enlightening for someone on the outside who wants to understand
Glad you are healing and getting better.
Hi Robin. Long time no see. Thought you would never post again. Glad that you are good.
you legit had me in suspense with the 'hey bitch' lol have mercy
Bonjour Robin, je suis content de te revoir et avoir de tes nouvelles, tu est tout à fait splendide, magnifique et resplendissante, et on voie que tu assume bien le choix que tu as fait et j'en suis ravie pour toi, ne te laisse surtout pas allez et garde le moral, tu as toute la vie devant toi, bravo et prend bien soins de toi!, merci pour cette mise à jours vidéo! xoxo💘
My queen has returned! ❤😍
Almost two weeks out from surgery. It’s been brutal so far.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤗
Just found your channel and subscribed. I’m considering srs surgery and I know it’s not easy. You’re so brave and courageous. I like your energy too. 🙂
Wow your back!
Awesome!
Good to see you!
You are sooo beautiful. Congratulations. X
Hi Barbie! Missed You! 💖💖💖
GIRRLLL!! YES!!! I LOVE YOU!
Glad to hear and see you again 👍😀
This is some valuable content. I'm still just in the queue to get an appointment to even get started on the process of getting HRT, and it'll be months before I get anywhere. I told the referring doc I definitely want HRT but I'm also curious about surgery, but to be completely honest, I'm much more than curious. This didn't dissuade me, but it is very good to be aware of the challenges. Thank you, and strength and honour on your journey!
I'm not trans but I imagine that I would not get this surgery; it is so rough and I am way too lazy to deal with that. Respect to you for doing this difficult thing!
This is my problem. I really can't go on like this. I dropped out of school because I just couldn't deal with the dysphoria breakdowns. I cry myself to sleep every night. And it just keeps getting worse. I can't go on living like this. I am an utterly dysfunctional human being as long as I have to be aware of having these parts.
But everything about surgery is just so intimidating. I have been procrastinating on doing research because it is just too anxiety-inducing. I have never even seen a single result photo. Too scared that it'll be not good enough or something.
I don't even care about the recovery time anymore. My life is put on hold anyway. I have no obligations. I have no idea about the pain though. I am not in a place where i can trust myself to make responsible decisions. This is hell. But i can get this surgery and maybe the hell will be over in a year.
@@fghsgh I hope things get easier for you soon I am sure it can't be easy to be going through all that
You have evolved, Robin.
Your transition has went beautifully ❤. Can't wait to have surgery myself. Thanks for the honesty about your experience.
You can just get laser treatments or minimally invasive procedures to i prove scarring. Ty for sharing this is very vulnerable.
13:45 That whole part resonates with me so much. I feel like this really needs to be said loud (and louder for those in the back!)
Thank you Robin.🤍
You never looked so amazing. Glad you're doing okay pretty girl :-)
Thank you for being here the value that you have to me and so many trans women is probably bigger than you think
Fair play to you buddy, honesty is much appreciated.
This month makes two years post op and it does get better.
thanks for sharing
I am getting that freakin' surgery!!!! Aghhhh the wait is painful, especially these waiting lists!!
