Introduction
This page is a W.I.P.. Previously, the information on this page was located on the general vulva page. It has been moved to this page. This page will be fleshed out at some point to be more detailed and comprehensive. For now, this is a placeholder to better sort out information, to make it easier to go through and such. Hope you understand :)

General Information
Transgender women are women who were born without vulvas. Typically, this causes gender dysphoria, as lacking this can make a transgender woman feel as though something is missing, or wrong. Some women are unbothered by this. Others seek out surgeries such as vaginoplasty in an effort to obtain gender euphoria.
A vulva and vagina obtained through surgery are typically referred to as a neovulva and neovagina. For a trans woman with a neovagina (and neovulva) it is important to maintain proper hygine to prevent infection. Like with a natal vulva, it is important to gently clean the neovulva with mild soap and warm water daily, and avoid any harsh soaps or scented products that can irritate the skin. When in early recovery from surgery, gently clean the neovaginal canal with a diluted vinegar solution or mild antiseptic rinse as directed by the relevant physician. Douche only as recommended by your doctor.
To many people, posession of a vulva is intrinsically linked to womanhood. Some would go as far as to define posessing one as being the very definition of being a woman. It is important to note that all transgender people have their own unique relationship with gender and their genitalia.
