what is this website?
a transwoman’s account of transitioning medically at the Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine. Surprisingly very little information exists, from a client perspective, on the type of care they provide, so this is a resource for women seeking medical care at this facility. This covers bottom-surgery, laser hair removal, hormone replacement therapy, social work, and therapy.

how does this thing work?
each entry is organized by year so click on anything with an asterisk in front of it and you’ll jump to that story. there’s navigation at the bottom of each entry so you can go to the next entry from that page.

I want to join the club

Initial Consult with Doctor Jess Ting

02/01/2019
Union Square

This is the packet of information I received when I was booked for vaginoplasty by Mount Sinai’s Center For Transgender Medicine.
Here’s a list of things I had to look up and a list of things I needed to buy from this list (sorry scamazon links but most can be sourced locally):
- Wound Vac (Johns Hopkins Medicine)
- Foley Catheter (WebMD)
- Bowel Prep (WebMD)
- Purchase List (Google Spreadsheet)
