Is it possible to start feminization surgery before starting hormones or walking papers? I'm not entirely sure of where I am in regards to switching my gender or not. When I was a kid I use to associate myself as a girl, and I would follow in the same pattern as girls. Now, however, I'm not entirely sure if I should take such a dramatic, life changing risk. I'm twenty years old, I've changed a lot since then.... Ultimately, I would like to remain with feminine characteristics, but I'm not sure if I would consider reassigning my gender. I figured it would be best to rid myself of the masculine flaws that I see within myself before I consider such a drastic change. My biggest problem is facial and body hair. First, I was considering getting a vasectomy, and then taking on laser surgery or electrologist to get rid of my facial and body hair. Then, I would follow it with possibly facial or body feminization surgery, rounding out my hips and buttocks, and maybe, softening up some features of my face. I understand the hormones therapy helps a lot in softening the skin (what i really desire), breast development, emotional development, and to a certain extent, other characteristics in the body, but I do not wish to proceed the far yet. my internal bell has not gone off, and i do not want to make a change that I might regret. however, i do wish for a more feminine appeal. the thought of aging as a male scares me. i do not wish to lose my head of hair, my slim figure, nor do i care for this obscene amount of thick body and facial hair.

in regards to aging, i realize that i am young, but i wish to address these aging problems before they start. i know i won't be able to accomplish much of this, but i figured i would set up some future goals for myself.

thre are reasons the docs have you jump thru the hoops in the order they think is best . if your serious you do just that . this journey is not to be played with as it has very few if any places to return from . even the most insanely minor things can creat lifelong changes . it was long after a began to plunk my eyebrows that i no longer needed to at all they became permenatly shaped and ached add a couple earring holes in ears and most people are hardwired to thing of em as female on thsoe minor two things alone

If you start to get feminization surgery before HRT, you may end up being a very androgynous looking male. Be prepared for a lot of weird looks and stares, especially if you're sporting a five-o-clock shadow.
