Thanks for your family point of view.
I'm sorry about your brother's current rejection over you
I hope he will reconsider over time.
I hope you will have a lot of people caring for your health and mind, always keep good friends who believe in you close to you.
I think it's important to see other people accepting you to accept yourself. Psychology is an important part in your new body acceptation.
Like we says, A health mind in a health body. Something like that
I forgot to mention something, Penguin. After you're through with the procedure, put extra attention in what people say about your current personality.
This is something strikingly common when the hormone balance is nudged - you may turn into a totally different person and you won't really "notice" it unless someone points it out to you with a hammer.
Keep that in mind, because it may cause trouble in your future relationship. Inform your doctor about any behavioral changes, or better yet, take someone with you to tell him his second opinion.
There are various dosages of the hormones that do the exact same thing to the body, but as far as psychology is concerned, it's very individual and a doctor is in the dark every single time.
Same applies to contraception pills, dear ladies. I actually broke up with one of my past girlfriends BECAUSE she chose that contraception method. I was pro that, since it's the safest one there is, but I wanted her to change the pill to another one because she changed 180 degrees - became literally a monster I wanted to slaughter every.single.day in a time span of a week.
She sent me a text a year later that I was right and after she changed the pill, her state was far better, but you can't undo past now, can you?
In any case, I digress. Take care and put alot of attention in what changes in you appart from the body. Hormones are a double-edged sword.

Girls can be tomboys that doesn't mean they should gender change to a boy
and the same of boys vice versa.

Its hard to understand for those not in the situation. Its just that transgendered people have such a strong feeling of wrongness about their own bodies that they want to change their bodies to become as close to the opposite sex as they can. Its something to do with brain structure. They've got the wrong brain structure for their body and as a result it just feels...off. Really off. Least that's the way I understand it.

If you're talking about penis to vagina, it's easier to get done than you think. The difficult one is vagina to penis. Even then, you won't have sex cells of the opposite gender. It's tricky stuff.

I'm mildly disturbed about how much you know on the subject.

That doesn't really happen; you're just a man.
Just like the way I don't have a Mac inside a Windows computer.

It was his opinion and it was quite obvious to me that he wasn't spreading any kind of hate.
As it happens, I agree with him.

Well, he expressed it as a fact if he didn't add an "IMHO" or something.

I'm pretty sure that whatever you do, you are still genetically a man(or woman). So an "IMHO" wasn't necessary here.

AFAIK there are women with XY chromosomes too, so you can't base on that.

Agreed. Imitation through surgery doesn't change your DNA. Stating what is fact does not mean you are spreading hate.
Good god this thread is popular eh? I remember when it first started in the EoF with everyone trying to figure out why you were gone from the temp.....
