I think a lot of them will be unable to face the truth. I think the TIFs will actually be able to handle it a little better, but I predict a massive rise in TIM suicides in the next decade.

Is the TIF bottom surgery reversible at all? Like if you took off the skin graft, could it ever go back to being a functional vulva? Would they have any sort of sensation down there during sex?

I know a lot fewer TIFs get bottom surgery than TIMs (and most TIMs are AGP and don’t get the surgery anyway), but I can’t imagine those that did get bottom surgery would be able to handle it better than the TIMs if it’s not at least partially reversible

I don't think it's reversible tbh.

I don’t know about that, actually. I think you’re probably right, in that the TIFs who went all the way will struggle with the realization of what they’ve done. I imagine that women who had mastectomies and hysterectomies will find it easier to reconcile, because those are things that non-trans-identifying women do also, sometimes for non-medical reasons as well.
