I finally did it. I faced my biggest fears and went under the knife one last time. This time to have voice surgery (Feminizing Laryngoplasty) in Portland, OR with Dr. Thomas. Out of all of the things I have done over the years, this one has always scared me the most. I tend to not…

I have spent a year trying to figure out how to write about this topic. The topic of my bottom surgery and the effects it had on my state of being. It’s difficult to describe, it’s more than I thought it would be. Prior to the procedure, the only somewhat comparable experience I had to…
