I love the idea of a community rabbi. It seems so family orientated and protective. And you are right. If there is a question you want answers to... chances are a rabbi has answered it :)
I am a little wary of other people and their intentions as well, especially since there are some weird people out there with weird fetishes..., but I have a partner I've been with for nearly 9 years. I'm early on in my transition, and although he is supportive... well, it's all new to him. He won't want to read about gender psychology like I do, or feminist theory, or the effects of hormonal treatment on MTF/FTM (as I think understanding it all makes me understand myself). He just wants me to look as normal as possible, without making waves.
I wish you the best of luck with your top surgery. You look very handsome in your little pic with your dog, and for someone so young, you seem very sure of yourself, and for an Italian, your English is superb. It's better than mine! All I can say about the surgery is... Mazel tov! :) (well, for after your surgery, which I know will go well :)
Do you have people who are going to keep an eye on you while you're having this surgery? I hope you have lots of support.
