In March 2017 I had a vaginoplasty. This has many euphemisms (GRS, SRS, etc) but I think we can all be mature adults and call it what it is. The surgery went great but it had some complications.

Ultimately I needed a revision to remove some painful scar tissue. I had that done last week. The revision basically took a skin graft from my abdomen to fix what was wrong. It meant another week with intense healing, but less intense than before.

Today I got all the stuff removed (drain, catheter, packing) and the healing checked out. It was great and I instantly feel better.

Trans surgeries are super-invasive and the healing is not linear. It's not always one shot. I was lucky I could afford the revision. But even with an extensive healing process it was worth it for my physical and emotional health.

Trans people are normal people. Trans healthcare is normal healthcare. Trans people shouldn't feel like their healthcare is an unspeakable taboo.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is so important to normalize talking about trans health care and women's health care as normal topics of conversation and not taboo.
