I can't stop thinking about girlmoding the other day. I looked so much better then I thought I would.

Thinking I might send the pics to more of my cis friends then I planned on originally.

    I do wish I knew if I'd need ffs to pass to the level I want.

    surgeryI know I want a trach shave which I guess is ffs, but I don't know what else I'd need. But trach shave + srs + laser is already a decent amount of work to need...

    Also voice training god I've got to get on that. Although I was pretty impressed by how androgynous my voice is... I still think it's too masc leaning to call androgynous but much better then I thought.

    What I've been told is you basically go get a consult for ffs and they give you a list of everything they think you might want and you pick and choose from that.

    Your voice is definitely androgynous imo.

    Doesn't a consult take like forever? I guess if my insurance is okay I might do that and just see what they think and how much things would be with my insurance

    Yea well I don't totally agree and would 100% get misgendered on the phone or anything

    My consult was pretty fast. I got a letter from my therapist, submitted to my provider, they submitted the request to my insurance, I had a number to the surgeon's office a couple weeks. The appointment was about 3 or 4 weeks out when I scheduled it. That was more of a general "this is what ffs is, these are the risks, etc". Then I had to get a face scan, then I had to set up another appointment and that's when they discussed a plan and what they wanted to do for ffs with my specific bone structure and like what they wanted to do with my hairline and so on. Then we set a surgery date which was a few months out. From getting my insurance approval to actual surgery it was like maybe around 12-ish months? This is standard in my area judging by the trans girls I've talked to, hopefully it'll be the same for where you're going.

  • It depends on the surgeon I'd guess. Not sure how long out they're booking, I know people who got in for consults reasonably quickly. Once you're in [blue state] I'd hope insurance would cover it depending on what you have. Though if you're on your parents insurance it might be harder to hide this from them. Plus at that point you'd need to be out to your doctor and probably have a gender dysphoria diagnosis to get this stuff covered.
