So now my entire life savings are around $15-20k, I never had such money before. Should I bet it all and go to Thailand to get FFS or at least some androgynous-type of looksmaxxing? I'm not sure which is worse - being a below-average m🤮le or having no financial cushion? Especially given the cushion in question is kinda laughable anyway. I think I can looksmax enough to start collecting simpbux online or just live at some guy's expense.
That's so much money wtf! FFS is worth it and I would get it immediately if I had that money, but if you feel you need it as a cushion then you should hold on to it. I think FFS is cheaper than that in Thailand anyway.
FFS is great, and I highly recommend it, but it isn't going to fix so many problems that you'll suddenly go from seeing yourself as male to being able to make lots of simpbux. It really just helps give an extra push to an existing transition, removing a couple small male signifiers that won't even be consciously obvious to most people. This also means it won't help your mental health hugely if you're down on yourself, because you can easily just trick yourself to not see the changes and then feel like you wasted your money. And that's not even taking into account that you can't realistically recover from FFS alone and will need a patient helper with you while you suffer for the first few days.
I'm very happy that I had FFS, but it's a hell of a thing. You've gotta be sure.
