This week I had to make the tough decision to push back the episode I originally planned to release that would continue the story I started in episode 1 and 2. But! Rest assured that I was able to figure out how to fill the gap! Let me introduce to you our fist mini mailbag episode, woot woot! He had some listeners send in questions about my vaginoplasty surgery I shared with all of you last week. One being how much a procedure like this cost and does the vagina after surgery function like a "normal" vagina! As I mentioned in today's show, the original uncut recording of what I was hoping to be this week's episode is available on-demand on my Twitch channel which can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/781815195 Feel free to send in your questions or comments about any of the topics we discuss on the podcast by sending us an email: podcast@himynameiserin.com Also, be sure to follow the podcast on: Twitter: @himynameis_life Instagram: @himynameis_life Music credit: GET UP, Tokyo Machine & Guy Arthur https://ncs.io/GETUP
