Gotta say, Im still really digging having a vagina! Its great every day. I still grin like an idiot when I see it and look at it.
I am glad that FINALLY I'm on the part of the recovery schedule where dilating is once a day and slowly I can decrease that (or just have someone else to dilate for me so to speak lol).
I definitely like groups where its a mix of how long people have been transing, I get why support groups can feel like a total downer though. I see it too. I deal with people all day who are sick or injured and sometimes its because they haven't followed any medical advice or were not compliant with meds - so my tolerance for how much repetition there is is naturally higher.
Its definitely hard to read or speak with people in a lot of pain and dysphoria week after week and also seeing the steps they could take but aren't to make their lives better (at least less miserable).
