Meet and Greet

Local time: Friday 7am

The Mercure Hotel put on a Meet and Greet party last night for Dr Suporn's patients, something it does once a month as Dr Suporn is apparently one of its top guests (due to the business he brings to the hotel). Some of the clinic girls came along, as did most of the patients, but the doctor himself didn't.

It's a fun thing to have. Food and drink and music and lots of chatter and amusing attempts by newly post-SRS patients at dancing. Something I've noticed is the number of trans girls who have additional work done, like FFS (Facial Feminisation Surgery) or breast augmentation, and it makes me wonder sometimes why of all those things, the only one I desired was SRS - the one thing that is, day to day, basically invisible to people anyway. I've written previously about my reasons for wanting SRS: both practical (think swimming) and psychological (I really didn't like what was there previously, to the point of having considered self-mutilation in the past; and while it was there, I felt like I was somehow toying with people's expectations whenever I passed, like a fraud). Haven't really mentioned FFS or BA...

FFS is kinda a given - the simple answer is that I don't think I need it, because the hormone therapy has given me adequate facial feminisation, and my features weren't all that distinctly male anyway. Breasts are a slightly different story, since mine have never really developed far even on hormones, and probably never will. Yet I don't really have an urge to seek BA. Maybe once again, I'm just comfortable in my own skin now (and haven't attempted to wear a cocktail dress yet).

Anyway, I'm past the no-food-or-drink point this morning and have a bit of extra surgery to look forward to this afternoon.
