It takes a few years of being on hormones to be ready for surgery, so I guess that decision would come later, if it was even possible. There is one option, metoidioplasty with urethral lengthening, that still allows sexual sensation while also allowing standing to urinate. That's what I am "interested in", as the phalloplasty I don't think would be necessary to make myself complete.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>biostructure</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2011 9:09 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I actually like looking younger than I do, as I also feel much younger, and want to be admired for things like creativity that are associated with children anyway.

Even before I began to present more as a guy, people frequently thought I was a lot younger. Ever since I was a teenager, I've been able to pass for 11 or 12...and that hasn't changed since I've gotten older. I hit my adult height and weight at about 12, and I have no interest in dressing up with lots of styling products or make up. I'm also really shy, and I like video games and am kind of emotionally immature. When my hair is cut short, I easily pass as a boy even when I don't wear a binder on my breasts. <br /> <br />I like being taken as a boy, because I don't really feel like an adult woman and it's hard for me to relate to women anyway. But sometimes, when I'm dealing with administrators, it's really frustrating! It wouldn't bother me at all if they weren't ageist and not take me seriously or treat me as irresponsible. Even though I look young, I've been taking care of sick or elderly family members for most of my life and am a college grad. It honestly bugs me more to be treated like a boy than to be "mistaken" for a male. If I ever get on male hormones, it will be because I want to be treated as a MAN, not as a little boy. Otherwise, I would be fine with my body as it is very androgynous and I barely need to alter anything to pass.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
