We are looking at the importance of mapping out your transition.

Transition is a pretty simple journey once you think about it. It does require you to get your head around what you are actually trying to achieve.

You really need to map out your journey, starting with a decision as to what you need to achieve as a final destination. How many stopovers will you have to your destination. A realistic “how long” are you going to allow yourself to get to each each Stopover along your road map. The most important one is how much money you are going to need to take you all of the way. Transition is a very expensive process and takes careful consideration.

Hmm, and then you need to have a good idea of what you are going to do with yourself when you finally get to your destination. After all you are probably about to do the hardest thing you have ever done in your life, you need to have a good idea as to how you are going to embrace your transition before you start transitioning.

Deborah talks about her Facial Feminization Surgery goals, why surgery is important for her, her expectations, and the risks and potential complications associated with FFS.

We also have a graphical interview with a urological surgeon from Germany, who discusses the surgical procedure to reassign male genitalia into female genitalia. SO! If you are a bit squeamish, you may wish to jump over this section. But informative.
