Stuber

Former WWE Champion Batista stars as an aging detective who gets corrective surgery after his eyesight deteriorates. Whilst recuperating he gets a lead on a drug dealer who killed his partner but as he can't see he hires an uber to drive him.

Featured Wrestler:

Batista as Vic Manning

Wrestle Rating:

4 out of 5 spinsters

A fun action comedy with some big laughs and exciting set pieces but often feels like a glorified commercial for the ride share app. Not one of The Animal's best performances but we do see glimpses of his star quality.

I took some selfies that looked kinda cute, but this was more authentic.

I got my corrective top surgery Monday [20/01/2020]. I am a swollen, bloated mess.

The pain is bearable this time around, but mostly it's having my chest compressed that's killing me. I can feel my muscles and bones crying out like "What the fuck, dude".

Medical chest compressors are not designed with the wearer's comfort in mind, clearly...

Based on my first look, I don't know if the problem area actually got fixed... but all I can do it wait.

Question for Mod Ade: you said you are intersex male. Can you be cisgender if you are intersex, or are intersex people transgender? (Sorry for bad English, I had to look up what intersex means and there is no word for it in my language and I don't think I understand properly so sorry if my question is rude or intruding)

It’s not rude or intrusive, it’s a valid question. You worded it politely in asking so no worries! To answer though, I found a very thorough article that might help. Though I am intersex, I don’t speak for every intersex person as all of our experiences and self identifying are different. I will tell about my own for context, but I’ll direct you to that article for a better response to your question in general: http://oii-usa.org/2719/how-intersex-people-identify/

Simply put though, some intersex folk may choose to additionally identify as cisgender or transgender based on their own experiences and self identification. It’s akin to the discourse about intersex being inclusive in the LGBTQIA+ community. They can choose to identify within there or not, just as they can choose to identify as cisgender/transgender or not. To deny them that choice is to gatekeep them validating themselves/their experiences and cause for intersex erasure.

As for me, I identify as intersex male because while I am a man, I am not cisgender nor am I transgender. I was not born a cisgender man, and I did not transition as a transgender man. I have often been mistaken for one or the other though because my appearance is very androgynous, though more seem to see me as masculine than feminine.

*TRIGGER WARNING- Corrective surgery and potential TMIs

I was born intersex, but in the lovely state of North Carolina (and pretty much the majority of the south, though NC is near the top of the list of being just the worst) you have to be labeled (cisgender) male or female at birth. I guess I didn’t fit the bill close enough to cisgender male, so they did some corrective surgery in the genital area and raised me as cisgender female, as well as putting it on all my papers and covering up that I was intersex. They couldn’t “cosmetically fix” my hormones though, so at age 9 I had my first puberty, then again at around 12-13 I had my second. After that, my body began to produce testosterone heavily in favor of estrogen, and I began to physically develop more masculine than feminine. My voice never stays consistent; some days it is more masculine, some days it sounds more feminine (and most times it fluctuates throughout the day, usually deeper in the morning/late evening and night). Eventually I ended up with what I call a “hybrid” masc/fem body type (though I know that might be taken as offensive so I would never refer to another with the term), with broad shoulders for days, a large belly for optimum hugs and relaxation, wide center of gravity hips, thick thighs that save lives, an angular yet round face, large hands and feet but small fingers and toes, and an ass that won’t quit.

My middle school and high school years were just a blast having to constantly fight about my gender and be put in at times dangerous situations having to defend myself because people were afraid of me. Fun times. Even in college because I went to school in Kentucky (though because I was away from people who knew me, unless it came to documents or away from the dormitory I pretty much lived as masculine). Which ironically is where I officially found out that I was intersex because I had an infection near my groin that I had to have surgery for, and since my hormones had changed with my double puberty they performed corrective surgery on me AGAIN to do a bit of adjustment. Once more without my consent because I was in too much pain to augment it, and later when all was said and done they denied it as intrusive and claimed it was necessary in addition to the procedure (though the surgery that needed to be done was not in the area they modified). It wasn’t until I moved to Tennessee that I was finally able to start fully living and identifying as male away from people who knew me, and then when I moved out here to California I got all my documents changed (except my birth certificate because NC will absolutely not change their laws on that) to make my papers match my physical and mental identity.

Now I am much more open about being intersex because I feel proud and safe not to have to hide any longer or be forced to be something and someone that I’m not.

Sorry for the long post, but I hope that helps and makes sense. Thank you for your question!

So my new eyedoctor has me using this stuff instead of visine etc because its supposed to work well but i think my vision goes worse after using it. I basically woke up blind in my right eye a couple weeks ago just to find out i have cataracts in both eyes due to excessive prednisone use over the years for my ulcerative colitis. The cataract in my right eye is in my direct line of sight so that eye is VERY foggy like being in a smoke filled room. I have insane light sensitivity too and am about to get glasses just to be able to see to read on here and drive! I need surgery to be able to really fix my vision. OK enough about that! Just a rant guys!

Restoring Hope: Free Corrective Surgeries Transform Lives in India

In the heart of rural India, where poverty often compounds physical challenges, a beacon of compassion shines through Narayan Seva USA’s Free Corrective Surgery Program. Partnering with Narayan Sewa Sansthan—one of the world’s largest free charitable hospitals—this initiative delivers life-altering reconstructive surgeries to children and adults battling disabilities like polio, cerebral palsy, clubfoot, and severe burn contractures.

The program targets those hit hardest by circumstance: families below the poverty line whose annual earnings can’t cover even basic treatment. Eligibility hinges on financial need and treatable conditions that rob individuals of mobility, education, employment, and dignity. From social stigma to psychological scars, these barriers are dismantled one surgery at a time.

What sets this apart? Everything is free—from expert-led operations in state-of-the-art facilities to post-op physiotherapy, nutritious meals during residential stays, and custom artificial limbs or calipers. But Narayan Seva goes further, offering vocational training in skills like tailoring or computer operation to foster long-term independence.

The impact is staggering: Over 450,000 corrective surgeries have restored steps, rebuilt confidence, and unlocked futures. Imagine a child, once sidelined by clubfoot, now striding to school with newfound self-respect, or an adult reclaiming their role as a family provider. These aren’t just medical miracles; they’re pathways to inclusion and hope.

‘My consent was never required’:  The childhood gender-assignment surgeries Republicans don’t want to ban

For decades doctors have operated on intersex children to make them more ‘normal’. Now conservative efforts targeting transgender healthcare are putting these controversial procedures on firmer legal footing. Io Dodds reports
