Ask a MtF TG a question

Granted that I will look like someone just out of rehab, but how come I have to go through all this to get access to prescription drugs, when you guys are talking like space cadets?! :D :D
Knowing Heathrow's reputation, I'll be lucky if the buggy doesn't have a flat tyre….oh no! I think they have a little flashing orange light don't they?:eek:….the floppy hat and shades sounds like a better and better idea now! :)

Ok, so we went here for dinner yesterday evening
http://www.bonjourbangkok.com/Romantic_French_Restaurant.html

Wow. I mean… wow. Not exactly a take-away place.

Only one more sleep then home :)

Wow! That place looks amazing. The absolute right place to celebrate. The pictures of the food made my mouth water.

One more night and then home, that is one more day before you go on The Ride then!
Just wave at your people from that buggy. Wave and smile or grin. They'll love you! They'll have no idea who you are, but some will wave back and a lot will smile back at the happy girl sitting for no obvious reason at all on the buggy.

It was really nice - felt like the celebrity you want me to portray!
I was just going to point out that I need to take a stent (Mr Wickham) with me in hand luggage, which is x-rayed in front of your very eyes :eek: pfft - they probably see stuff like that all the time :rolleyes:
Should I wave Mr W like a sceptre from the trolley? I'm seriously NOT going to do that :D

Yes , dear, they do see stuff like Mr Wickham all the time. And they will love it when you blush.

Don't use him as a scepter though. That might get you more giggles and stares than you would like.

But you are a celebrity!
 
Well sceptre or not, we're all packed and ready for off in the morning. See y'all soon :)
 
I've realised, I'm likely to be one of those people that "need assistance" when we get off the plane. That's going to be so embarrassing, travelling along on a little buggy at Heathrow :eek: Better not pack my shades :cool:
It hasn't rained much today so hopefully we can get around without filthy puddles everywhere :-/ bleah!

I get embarrassed just walking through Heathrow! :D

Good luck getting home girl. Hope you can stay as comfortable as possible. :rose:
 
just over three weeks though I'm not exactly looking forward to the flight home. The most comfortable way to sit is with my feet up on something so we'll just have see how that works out. Maybe brag an upgrade ... Please:)

Three weeks... possibly just doable without having to beg a leave of absence from work if I need to go as a companion one of these days. Cool. :)

If I were in charge, I'd give you extra leg room.

I think the minimum time after the op is ten days, assuming everything is ok, but that would be hard work.
 
So, hello hello and yes, I'm back :) The paparazzi followed us down the motorway after my impromptu press conference, my adoring fans were given commemorative airline sickbags by my PR staff and my icloud account was hacked, but all they found was this

But thank you all so much for your messages and support! Getting a PM or a posting here was a real tonic :) :heart:
:D
In reality I had a less than glamorous flight and though the staff were very kind and did what they could, you still have to be stuck in a metal tube with all those other people who spend most of the flight farting and/or queuing for the loo. There was no way I could do my 'exercises' but that's not the end of the world - I'll just get back into the routine now: 20 mins of Owch four times a day... Ladida.

Still, it's lovely to be home, home, home :) I missed my guitar and now have the perfect excuse to do more practise. There are loads of blackberries, so jam making will be on the cards. Mum brought back some beautiful fabric so we will scratch our heads to work out what to do with it! :D
...and follow up appointments with the medics here, and job-hunting and getting on with my new life!
but yes, I do feel like a new woman :rose::rose::rose:

Wonderful news!

I am very glad it was only farting people and queuing for the toilet you had to deal with, there are worse things ...

I always have to grin when I see one of you use the word loo. It is the name of a little village in the region I grew up in.

Now take your time to recover and have fun (:)rose:))
 
I've removed this question because it was not well thought through and it has been misunderstood - my bad. Maybe that's a good thing - you'll see it still quoted, because it has caused some discussion, but it gave the wrongful impression that A. I thought my friends would stop liking me, which is nonsense, or B. that pre-op and post-op trans women were two different kinds of people, which they're not.

Shall we get back to difficult questions?
Now that I am post-op, am I right to presume that the tranny fans will no longer be interested in me?

O love people not types of people so you still are :kiss:of interest to me :rose:

That has to be a horrible feeling ( and I know what horrible feels like) to have. You are still the same caring person you have always been. I am so sorry you are faced with that possibility that friends would turn away so quickly and over something that should bring joy to all who know you.

My friendship does not have much weight or meaning but for what it is worth you will always have a kind corner in me. That question has brought tears to my eyes. Good night

Oh no! - I'm sorry - perhaps I phrased the question badly? I know who my friends are, both in RL and on Lit and I would be amazed if they turned their back on me.... I'd kick some asses if they did!! :D

The question is really a broader one, not related to me directly. To strangers, when I was pre-op, I was always a little bit... meh... 'why are you interested in me? You do realise I am a girl, right, even though I have a penis?' Lots of my trans friends still have to deal with that suspicion, because sometimes people are often attracted by the flesh, not the person. There's nothing wrong with that attraction per se BUT, in practice, quite a few men ( and women ) don't look beyond the fantasy the interweb portrays: porn web seems to fall into a part of our brain that is happy to be entertained by fairy tales or sci-fi movies and the distinction between make-believe and reality becomes blurred.

It's an impression that has been discussed at here and elsewhere. Originally I was dead against 'tranny chasers' because I let my suspicion blind me to the fact that, well actually, I can see that a chick with a dick is an amazing being and, so long as their lover sees them as a 3-dimensional, living, breathing and... often complicated person, then that is totally cool.

The last thing I want to do is imply that pre-op girls are somehow second best and that I have 'progressed' to some kind of nirvana - that would be bigtime BS. I've always wanted surgery - it was always on my map. There are so many reasons why that is the case and so far I am ... SO relieved it is done.

Actually, now that your comment has forced me to explain myself, I've become increasingly unhappy that I posted the question at all. It sounds cheap and smug. All the same, if by being contentious it promotes a bit of discussion, then it will have done its job.
I hope that explains my position 4your and to my all my friends here, from whom I only get love and support - you're amazing - it means more than I can put in words, you know? You're the best. Thank you.

No, it seemed like a reasonable question to me. I think any time somebody on either side of a friendship goes through a major change it's only human to worry about what it'll mean for the friendship. Certainly works like that for me.
 
Wait...you're a tranny?
Oh Brad, you're such a sweetie.... don't you remember I told you this once, but you've forgotten :kiss:

well my ability to confuse hasn't changed :rolleyes:
It's the anonymous PMers that I suspect will drop me now. win:win :)
