As the title says, I wanna get bottom surgery, but the thing is, I live in a country which has little rights to death penalty for lgbt folks, and I live in a restrictive family that are bigoted and filed with hate. Every time when I get hyped about bottom surgery, I remember I live with worst family in a worst country

And that makes me feel down bad, I just get sad every time when I think about it.

And I was wondering what will be my friends (Online and irl) and my family reaction like if I ever said I wanna get bottom surgery? This scenario makes me heated up and afraid if I ever said it to them I’m now just sitting in my room, so pissed off I live in this country

I wanna get at least help or advice regarding my situation

Thanks to anyone who replied to this post

Bye comrades <3

Yeah. It really is. I still have my doubts about whether I'm trans or not. They're fading, but still there. But again, it was a shift in perspective that made me go through with it. Even if the hormones didn't do anything at my age, I would still get some curves in the right places. I would still be happy with that, even if not the dramatic change I wanted. Worst case scenario sounded pretty good to me (totally cis thoughts, right?). If the best case happened, I would figure out what to do then.

It turns out I wasn't too old, and jumped at the chance to switch completely as soon as I could. And what do you know? The dysphoria is gone now, and I don't miss my old life. I'm starting to really believe that I might not be cis. And I think my 60 year old self is going to be proud of me.
