Sep 18, 2008 - You are very courageous to show the 'straight after shots' - but you certainly look incredibly gorgeous now. It gives hope to the rest of us! I'll email you about where you had it done, if that's okay?

Sep 18, 2008 - Can't you make expressions, you seemes to have the same expression in every photo I swaw!!!

Sep 18, 2008 - No, I don't suffer from "frozen face." Actually, if you want to see what post-FFS mobility is like, take a look at the featured video at the top of my main page and you can see a wider variety of expressions.Melanie

Sep 18, 2008 - I just had this thing on my mind of a woman who tried to commit a suicide and felt unconcious for 2~3 days and her dog desperate ate ehr face. When she woke up she went to hospital and they put a face of a woman who passed away (a donner) and I can't forget how her face was just a mask of no emotions.I thought that you could probably suffer from immobility due to problems in the surgery. If you pursposelly did this in photos then ok. It is just me who was afraid of that woman I saw.

TransgenderSupport Says:

Sep 18, 2008 - You know, that story of the woman came out just before my life partner, Teresa, had her FFS almost exactly one year before I did mine. I wasn't worried about immobility as I had visited a lot of other girls who had surgery with the same surgeon I was going to use. But, I did think a lot about the kinds of psychological issues that would come up, seeing a different face in the mirror. It does change you on the inside too.

Sep 19, 2008 - I am more than sure, but changing your sex requires "guts"... did I say guts :P no offense.But the whole procedure people undergo to change things in their life are all affetcing the mental state of the person. They all know that they wanted to be like that, but a change is always a change.A friend of mine had her nose "fixed", though she no longer had that "huge potato" she felt awekward for long time. We kind of helped her get over it by cheering her up and telling her how good it is.

TransgenderSupport Says:

Sep 19, 2008 - Very true! Any kind of external change brings internal change. But, what is the actual goal a person is after? If their goal is just to cross-dress, then it doesn't require any surgery at all. If they are compelled to change sex, then SRS is necessary. If the purpose is to be more feminine of face, you may have to have cosmetic surgery. But if the goal is beyond that, after all that - to be taken as female even subconsciously at a primal brain level, then FFS is necessary.

Sep 23, 2008 - you looked manly in no way at all before the surgeryyou were very pass-able.If i had never met you, and passed you on the street I'd have never known...but don't get me wrongyou look lovely after the surgery too

TransgenderSupport Says:

Sep 23, 2008 - Thanks for the compliment. And that's great, if your goal is to "pass." But there's another level beyond "passing." It is a level where the structure of your face and body are so female that you could shout in a booming male voice and people around would comment, "Weird! That woman has such an unnaturally deep voice!" Until FFS, no matter how "pretty" one is, the best you can do is "pass" since the skull still has a male shape underneath it all.

StevieNicksFan Says:

Sep 23, 2008 - I wasn't being negative, I was just saying you still looked VERY feminine before the surgery.I am a transsexual too, but I don't have very many problems with looking manly.I have had everyone tell me, my bone structure is in no way, manly, but very feminine.The only thing that I would really want fixed is my "jewish" nose -lol-I'm not Jewish, but my nose looks ithahaIt would be so weird to get the FFS tho, don't they take off your whole face?

TransgenderSupport Says:

Sep 23, 2008 - Oh, I didn't think you were being negative. It's just that a lot of people think "feninine" is the same thing as "female." Of course, that's not true. Both men and women can be "pretty" (like a young Tom Cruise, for example) It is more feminine a look than say, George Clooney. If you transition, "pretty " will work okay because it overlays a male structure. But underneath it, you still give off male facial energy. As you age, it shines through even more as pretty fades.

TransgenderSupport Says:

Sep 23, 2008 - FFS gets rid of that male" energy signature" so you don't send conflicting signals. "Pretty" plays to the conscious mind - bone structure plays to the subconscious mind - the primal mind, where we determine intuitively the "threat level" of an individual by quickly classing their gender based on bone structure as male or female. I never imagined the difference until I had healed for six months and experienced it myself in the way both mena and women started treating me.

TransgenderSupport Says:

Sep 23, 2008 - As for it being weird to experience, you bet it is! You go through all kinds of things mentally when you see a stranger in the mirror. Like living in a sci-fi movie! But in time, you realize that you even tuned into your own male bone-energy before, and it limited how much you could redefine your self-image after transition. Oh, and they only peel off the top half of your face, remove, scuopt and replace your forehead and chin, and grind down the rest! Hurts, but well worth it!

Sep 24, 2008 - You are so lovely My Dear! so realisticly a WOMAN in every way! Bwahahaha! oh, Im excited!

Oct 3, 2008 - did it hurt alot?

TransgenderSupport Says:

Oct 4, 2008 - That's an understatement. It was the single most painful experience of my life. But it wasn't sharp pain like a knife blade, but more of a comination of a bad bruise over my entire head, mixed with the worst headache you've ever had that takes about two months to go from the most intense to a mild headache. Still, it isn't intolerable. Two weeks after surgery I stood up from three straight days teaching a weekend seminar in story structure. Its not like you go around crying from the pain.
