I have considered SRS, but because of my job and my family's beliefs, it's been a hard thing to attempt. I am almost to the point of hating myself because I am not comfortable with who I am. My life partner does not have a problem with whatever decision I make. Any advice?

I hate saying this, but wikipedia.com has an excellent article on SRS, as well as links to testimonials and photos and other useful sites. If this is what you need to do, then your going to have to do it, the feeling just gets worse with time. It is not easy, but it is doable. If you would like someone to talk to, or links to some informational webpages, feel free to e-mail me.

What exactly do you mean by female? You are talking about srs btw. Anyways, you should do what is right for you to be comfortable in your own skin. If your family is telling you to stay the way you are and put up with the self hate, then they are showing no respect to you. I'd suggest removing that negative influence from your life and going ahead with the opperation.

My half brother, who is younger than me by fourteen years, was born as my little sister. She was a very beautiful and extremely intelligent little girl. She completed High School at the age of 16 with National Honors, and then attained 2 different College Degrees (with perfect 4.0 GPA) by age 19.
However, she was never content with her younger self. She attempted suicide shortly after graduation from college and ended-up in a Psych Ward after having experienced a nervous breakdown.
It was there she realized the basis of her discontent - she had always secretely hated her own gender identity with which she was born. She entered into counseling, was approved for SRS, and underwent a F-T-M proceedure.
Today my younger half-brother is a successful business professional, happily married for fifteen years, with he and his wife being the adoptive parents of two special needs children.
Initially, he had to deal with personal rejection from some other family members, including his own mother. But eventually he regained all that he had lost, and much more in addition to what he had. He is very happy with his decision, and I can barely remember the little sister he once was. I may have lost a sister, but I gained a more happy, better adjusted and stable BROTHER.

you have to live your life. why suffer and hate yourself because of what other people think. do what you feel is right for you, then help your family adjust to your new life. Talk to PFLAG and trans groups. You will find lots of comfort.

there is really no such thing as sexual reassignment surgery. One can arrange for a surgeon to mutilate you so that you resemble, the opposite sex but you cannot actually change your sex. furthermore these surgeries will leave you sterile and unable to have children.
