My mom's heard that the hospital she used to work at -- and many others in the area -- may stop doing elective surgeries. B/c they're getting so slammed due to Coronavirus.
This may include various surgeries that some trans folks get, since most of those are classified as “elective.”
EDIT: On the other hand, most surgeries leave you mildly immunocompromised while you recover, so the middle of a pandemic may not be a good time to get surgery anyway.
Covid cases are going back up so much, that they're starting to cancel elective surgeries, all I can say, is fuck you and your selfish greedy asses for not getting the vaccine and taking lives away from those who actually care about others beyond themselves. You're fucking pathetic and I hope whatever comes your way, comes at you fucking impossibly hard, you fucking twats!
Should Health Insurance Cover Elective Cosmetic Surgery?
Yes, all health insurance should
Yes, but excluding Medicaid/Medicare
No, it should only cover medically necessary surgery
so seltsam, nachts wach zu liegen, in dem wissen dringend schlafen zu müssen, ohne dass es gelingt. und eigentlich auch wieder nicht, sobald bedacht wird, dass dieser knappe zweieinhalb dekaden alte körper seit beinah anderthalb davon aktiv von schmerzen heimgesucht wird, die sich immer weiter verfestigen und alles vom oberschenkel abwärts immer weiter zerfressen. wenigstens ist vor kurzem tatsächlich festgestellt worden, dass eine muskelschwäche oder vielleicht auch weniger muskel dort vorliegt. nur - wird er weniger? gefühlt ja. selbst mit physio, mit muskelaufbautraining, mit aktiv betriebenem sport (der unheimlich viel arbeit von knie und oberschenkelmuskulatur verlangt), werden die schmerzimpulse stärker, das aushalten von tag zu tag schwerer. so seltsam, nachts wach zu liegen, und davon zu fantasieren, wie es wäre, wäre das bein einfach nicht mehr da. wie viel lebensqualität es auf einmal geben würde. wie krass entlastet die eigene psyche wär. wie der alltag nicht aus arbeit (aktives verdrängen/begraben/maskieren von schmerz und problematik) und erschöpft versuchen leben aufzuholen und aufzubauen ohne zu kollabieren und sport (aktives zähne bis kurz vorm bersten zusammen beißen, um wenigstens etwas anderes machen zu können) und weiter erschöpft versuchen leben aufzuholen und aufzubauen ohne an allem zu verzweifeln, bestehen würde. weil vielleicht endlich jemand bemerkt hat, dass ich hier einen schlussstrich ziehe und ebenfalls befindet, dass das vermutlich die beste lösung ist, anstatt weiter im nebel zu stochern, in der hoffnung einen kiesel zu finden zwischen milliarden gleicher kiesel. stattdessen einfach nebel absaugen und im anschluss gut erleuchtet nach dem kiesel ausschau halten. vielleicht ist es doch nicht so seltsam, mit all diesem im kopf nachts wach zu liegen und darüber zu fantasieren, wie es wär, wenn das ding nicht mehr ist.
Not sure what you were trying to accomplish by tagging and insulting me, but I hope you have the guts to talk to women in real life like that too, so they know what kind of pathetic person they're dealing with.
The way I socially conduct myself online is absolutely the same as the way I socially conduct myself face-to-face, which is why I'm a beloved and loving part of several deeply wonderful communities of badass women. Seeking the truth and speaking it has its advantages; like calls to like.
You're publicly displayed inability to separate the concept of love from the desire to be approved of, is why I told you that you don't know how to love. People who truly love themselves don't cut themselves up on purpose. People who truly love others speak up when those they love are harming themselves and other. When you are truly loved, you know that love is a motivating factor, and you use that power for good. That's what's real. It was very shitty and unloving of you to call a woman "selfish" for being aghast at the hypothetical misogynistic self-harming actions of those she loves.
What I said to you may be rude, but it's the truth. You can't say the same for your comment on that post, nor for your above message.
I stand by what I said. Now, how 'bout you go fix your fucking problem instead of whining in my inbox?
⚠️long post about pregnancy and tubal ligation ⚠️
Being told that posting about my tubal is "dangerous" because it could "inspire others to do the same and something could go horribly wrong" was not on my bingo card for expected reactions. Being told "it's actually not hard to not get pregnant so why do something so extreme" is definitely NOT accurate either. It's extremely hard for people who are fertile to not get pregnant.
I got pregnant despite using birth control and it was the worst 11 weeks of my life. I gained 30 lbs in 11 weeks despite not being able to keep a single meal down. I was puking so much i blacked out when I tried standing. Being pregnant and having kids is not something I've ever wanted so I CHOSE to get my tubes removed and the peanut gallery wants to tell me it's "dangerous" to talk about?
No whats dangerous is people blindly becoming parents without realizing all that it entails. What's dangerous is trying to force women who don't want to be mothers to have kids. People have always told me I would change my mind when I turned 25 but instead I got my tubes taken out at 25 and now I'll never have to worry about it again. It was a personal choice that I had to fight for, it wasn't easy, it wasn't a singular visit and then I was approved.
I've asked to get them removed since I was 15. I waited 10 years to finally have my bodily autonomy listened to and I'm not going to sit here idly while an ignorant woman says false narratives about it. Tubal surgeries are not dangerous they are minimally invasive and my recovery has been easier than it was when I got my wisdom teeth removed.
What's dangerous is thinking reading about holistic medicine and "natural" birth control is safer than actual methods of birth control. What's dangerous is wording your input about my personal choice as if I am pressuring other women to make the same choice. I support anyone regardless of their choice to have kids or not. I made the choice that's right for MY life and MY future.
Appointment Day
I am meeting with the surgeon who will (please please please) eventually carve up my stomach today. The appointment is about two hours from now. I am starting to freak out. Why? I don’t know. It’s not like I am going to get sliced up today, it’s just a meeting. We will hopefully discuss the two surgery options and decide which one to go with. I can’t imagine she’s going to look at me and…
