At the beginning of my transition, I didn't know if I would have bottom surgery. I think there were so many other more pressing issues (testosterone, chest surgery, etc.) that I was able to put off thinking about it for a long time. In the summer of 2005, I began to find myself slipping into minor depression moments and being even more self-conscious and uncomfortable about my genitals. In the fall of 2005, I began to take steps towards what I see as my final medical transitional step. I had bottom surgery, specfically metoidioplasty with urethral lengthening, scrotoplasty with testicular implants, and vaginectomy, with Dr. Miroslav Djordjevic and his Belgrade surgical team on June 19, 2007. Due to a fistula and remaining vaginal pocket, I had to have a revision with my local pediatric urologist on March 10, 2008.
