A man's personal feeling of what gender they are is solely based on bias and not an objective truth.

Care to explain this overly vague statement and how it relates to the first post? Possibly without quoting the entire first post and tacking on one line this time?

Good luck with that; I suspect it was a drive-by posting and the individual in question won't be back to this thread in the near future.

I thought as much, but it never hurts to ask.

That's hard to say. Are you MtF or FtM?

Actually, does anyone have any information on the cost of various procedures for both MtFs and FtMs? Like breast augmentation, mastectomies, vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, etc?

This will be extremly helpful for those who need it.

It doesn't matter who you are, but rather how you behave. A good person is a good person, gender or gender difficulties have nothing to do with it.

Yeah, but there are some people who can't see beyond "You can't wear a dress! You were born with a p***s!"

This is why I slap 'em in the face and say B.S.! Sorry, had a li'l momment here. I really get annoyed by people telling me to wear a g'damned dress. Beauty is really what you make of it. People are people. There's really nothing wrong with who they are as long as they don't hurt anyone else (of course depending on the circumstances and intentions). Ifo nly people have a more universal view of the world, but then again, if they had, there wouldn't be conflicts.

Agreed. I made this topic in hopes of enlightening people who don't know the facts and allowing them to see past the stereotypes to the real people who are affected by their behaviour.

If someone wants to judge me, fine, but judge me as a person, not as a "freak who wants to be a boy" or some other such bullshit.

Heh heh, I thank you for making this thread, in fact, I would actually take it as my mission to create one in the near future... xd

And so what if there's diversity in our culture? Aren't the planets and stars also bright and beautiful? Why not go and say bad things about them 'cause they ain't human? xd Anywaysm awsome thread and we'll do our best to keep it alive wink .

North American SRS for mtfs range from 17 k to 20 k, depending on surgeon. Breast augmentation is also expensive, dunno the actual price. Usually around 5-10 k, depending on technique, I think. Hormones are expensive. Laser hair removal is worth approximately 3 k, for the face alone.

I don't recommend laser - never tried it myself, but it apparently isn't quite as permanent as they like you to think

The newest ones apparently are. My fiancée managed to get RF laser, with a 2 year guarantee afterwards if there is any regrowth. After 2-3 years? I don't think it's coming back. If a little does, we'll electro the stubborn ones.

Here's one quote on various procedures for both MtFs and FtMs.

It depends a fair bit on skin tone and hair pigmentation. Darker hair and paler skin leads to better results.

A common approach these days is to use laser for the bulk of the hairs, and then switch to electrolysis for the ones that the laser misses. However, if you have fair hair and/or darker skin, it's probably better to just skip to the electro.
