  3. CW: Surgery, ADHD diagnosis

    Yesterday, I had my first consultation for facial feminization surgery (FFS). I felt a mix of fear and excitement—scared about potential complications and the permanent changes ahead, yet thrilled to finally see a version of myself that closely resembles how I envision my true appearance.

    Navigating all the terms and procedures that the doctor mentioned will be a deep dive for me. My plan is to have the surgery next year once I work out the insurance details and save up. For anyone considering FFS, I highly recommend booking consultations early because the waiting lists can be long, even for an initial appointment.

    Today, I visited a new primary care provider after a disappointing experience with my former doctor regarding gender-affirming care. This new provider was warm and diligent, carefully reviewing my medical history. Halfway through, she asked a series of questions that I soon recognized as an ADHD assessment. After answering honestly, I was officially diagnosed with ADHD. I'd suspected it for a while, and having that confirmation feels like one less thing to wonder about.

    If you're struggling with finding supportive healthcare, don't settle for the opinion of a single provider. Advocate for yourself—you deserve it.
