Is that how you measure a man?

axesladeSo, I brought up to the mother the fact I want to have a partial hysterectomy. Again. And, again, she noted how, due to the fact it's irreversible, most doctors won't do it until I'm 40.
And all I could think was 'unless I have a pre-existing condition. You know, like gender dysphoria'
Again, hormones and genital surgery, never happening. But...I want a gender NEUTRAL body. If I could have neutral lowers, I would, totally. But as it is, the only thing I can do anything about is the chest and the painters.
When I've said before I'm 'mostly' female...I don't think that's right. I think it's a pretty even 50/50 split. Both sides are just attracted to women more than they are towards men. And my female half, it's pretty neutral on the period. Mensturating doesn't make me a woman, any more than getting some girl pregnant makes someone a man. And the male half is obviously very squicked by the period.
So...yeah. It'll just be another step towards being comfortable in my skin. So...as much as it will fucking hurt to do so, I'll probably cop to gender dysphoria once I start real therapy. Because, God/dess willing, I'll have a therapist who understand that there's more than the binary and I won't be forced in to a square hole when I'm a circlular peg.
