Thinking over my experience so far, it's bizarre how many separate people (it's 3) have asked me if I'm sure I don't want a vulvaplasty instead of a vaginoplasty. The person today phrased it as "just want to make sure you're aware of the options", and like, yes. Yes I do know about it. I knew about it before talking to you people, and if I hadn't then I'd know by now because you Keep. Bringing. It. Up

I just had a free consultation with a surgeon in Barcelona about getting a vaginoplasty operation with him. It was short and pretty surface level, but answered some key questions like "how long should I be in Barcelona" (6 nights in the hospital and then they see me again 48 hours after that), "will I be able to walk up the stairs to get to my apartment afterwards" (yeah no problem), and "how do follow up appointments work" (they try to do everything remote, but there's a chance I'll need to travel back to Barcelona). I don't currently have the 20,000 euros on hand they want for the operation, but I could try to empty an old 401k I have in the US for this. Right now this is the backup plan: if the wait times in the Netherlands become too unbearable or I don't like the surgeons here after talking to them, at least I'll be able to fall back on this.
