Hold it. Selling items at the dollar tree... for five dollars you say?
If Our Heroine is being covered by the Oregon Health Plan, as he presumably is, then yes, often times dates are a year out. Trannies are, believe it or not, not top priority -- and also there's only a few surgeons in practice. You can be put on a waiting list to get called if someone cancels or something, but I've heard plenty of year-long wait times.
Typically roughly a week before the surgery you have a face-to-face so they can make last-minute plan changes due to variables.
If he is paying out of pocket, he certainly has no need to go to a butcher, he can just go to a regular place. He was owed thousands of dollars of back-pay for SSDI several years ago; he could be using that. I presume he's also on the OR public healthcare system, though, which covers several transgender surgeries.
Indeed. I know a transwoman who had this surgery at a far, far higher weight than Phil. His weight is not an issue at all.
But Our Heroine isn't "houseless" now, remember? And speaking anecdotally, I am under the impression they would indeed approve surgery for someone technically homeless, if they at least had arrangements of a place to stay for a period of time.
Seconding the latter.
I can't wait.
Says the guy who stalks the stalkers.
If you go to places like Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc they make it sound like it's 1.00 each. Technically it's not.
I agree with most of your post but if they give this surgery to someone whose housing is this perilous and whose hygiene is so poor... That's negligent imo. But so is the OHP letting 15 year olds get their tits cut off without parental consent, so whatever, it's in the league of possibility in light of that I suppose. Would still bet on it being a lie if you pressed me.
If he did get it, he'd have an even worse life than before. There are an awful lot of troons who thought getting the surgery would make their lives perfect. Then they got it and discovered that no, they're still socially inept losers, it's just now they've irreversibly damaged their bodies, and consequently they wound up even more depressed than before. Phil, meanwhile, is only trans because he thinks it makes him cool, so God only knows what the psychological effects would be if he did lose his acorn-and-grapes.
Even amongst people with actual dysphoria that kind of surgery is divisive. Some go for it, some end up regretting it, and then others just look at people who get it, see the complications, and just forget about it. One tranny I knew told me that she wouldn't remove her dick if she wouldn't get a functioning vagina and reproductive system in return for it, and as we all know that's about as possible as HRT turning you into a full on, attractive, biological woman (like what troons fetishize it as).
I don't say this to be rude, because we all know there's a difference between "troons" and actual transgendered individuals. Actual transgendered people at least TRY to pass. Sure, some don't make it 100%, but at least they try. They get the laser hair removal (or whatever it is to get hair...), they'll get boob jobs (to add or remove), and overall they LIVE the life as the gender they transition too.
Uh, either I'm reading this wrong or you're confused. Troons tend *not* to get bottom surgery and tend to be the ones who push "lady sticks" and claim the penis is just a big clitoris that squirts. I do know there is a faction of troon-types that get vaginoplasty, and are equally as adamant that it is exactly like a vagina in every way -- and for these folks they place all their validation eggs in the bottom surgery basket. But in my experience the former type is more common. (Spoiler, they're hypocrites.)
I personally kinda hope he does get it. From reading the Rani Baker thread it's extremely painful, and hard to deal with at first. I believe she's an actual transgender, if she had such a hard time of it imagine how bad it'll be for transtrender Phil. Plus it'll be awesome when he realizes it won't make his life any better, or happier.
You're reading it wrong. Troons, like Potato, talk about bottom surgery like it's the answer to everything. It's not.
Yeah but they dont usually get it. For varying reasons.
