Off to Thailand

Best of luck to you! But planes aren't that bad. It's actually one of the safest forms of transport, and statisically, you have a higher chance of dying because of driving than flying

the only thing most hate about flying is moving through the air in an aluminum can.( think about that)

LOL whenever I think about major things like planes, trains, etc, I always think of the line from the movie ARMAGEDDON, when they're being strapped down in the Space Shuttle right before take-off:

Rockhound (played by Steve Buscemi): You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts, all built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?

Jen!! Best of luck. Take care! If you don't mind, I'm curious who you are seeing for the surgery. I have a couple of gals looking for FFS who can't afford Dr Osterhaus. So, if you found the Dr and the facilities to be good I'd like to have a more affordable place to recommend.

Remember.. the key to recovery is to rest that part of the body...

I can understand breast enhancement, but cock removal! I don't understand that! I am a man and my cock is my most precious possession, removing it would be equivalent to dying.
I enjoy feeling my inner female urges but I am not about to discard my masculinity.
I do hope Jen is doing the right thing for her, its her decision.

Well.. I'm NOT a man - regardless of my history. While I am pretty neutral about having a penis - some gals need to alter their genitalia to match the internal mind-map of their own body.

It is also practical in a day-to-day existence. You see, in most states you can't get your legal documents changed until you have a vagina. It makes it hard to work when the Office of Homeland Security mails your company to tell them something is amiss and you may be either a fraud or a terrorist.

Expressing "inner female urges" is swell.. I guess.. I don't have those. I just have my feelings and urges. Since I identify as trans*female, that makes those urges "female". You know my "female" urges to cuddle with a lover, hold a new-born baby, shoot zombies in a video game, change the oil in a car. Every feeling and urge is neither male nor female... transitioning is about matching one's body with their internal understanding of that body. If that understanding includes a vagina then that's what she needs to do.

As "sexy" as Shemales are and as much as the world as recently turned bodies like mine into a fetish. The reality is, transition for so many of us is a matter of life or death. The need to transition can't be fully understood by those who don't feel the need.

Exactly

Very well said

randolph, some 'men' feel that they simply are not supposed to be born that way. They believe that they were supposed to female, and in some cases, hormonal and genetic imbalances agree that is the case.

Gender reassignment is something which a person decides to do overnight, in fact it takes a long process and people that serious about having a sex change would not be too bothered about losing their penis.

Well said, Bionca.
