Made it through surgery, results currently hidden under swelling + mummy bandages but doc says it went well. I had like five nurses on different shifts and all of them were incredible - all praise and material support to nurses! That said, the overnight hospital experience was still painful and frightening enough that I wouldn't recommend it to tourists.

To state the obvious, these are the stakes in the debate around gender-affirming care for minors. It's miraculous that surgical technology exists to undo much of the effect of puberty with the wrong hormones; it's still a hell of a thing to go through, compared to just escaping those hormones in the first place.
