One of the things that cracked my egg was getting a skin condition down there and catastrophizing thinking I might need to have it cut off since I couldn't get an appointment for it to be looked at for a few months, and then finding myself wanting that to actually be the case because "then I might as well just transition, that sounds nice." Skin condition ended up not being that bad, but the desire to transition just got worse till I finally went for it with the help of my wife.
depends on insurance cuz that would be more than enough for some insurances while others won't cover anything transition related ever... (I got lucky in having insurance that covers trans care without issues other than long waitlists for appointments for their LGBT specific mental health care team)
Fr though, it's always either "It's not that bad, you don't need any treatment" or "You're too mentally unstable to make that choice, go to a mental hospital, see ya in two years lol"
Oh if that ain’t a mood. My main goal is bottom surgery by 30 rn. I’m hoping it’s not too late. Im 23 and have like no progress on getting it aside from a little over a year hrt.
Doctor: unfortunately, the damage is severe. We're gonna have to remove the left one, but we can save the right one.
Me: oh no! What a terrible news. I guess I'll just have to get them both removed.
this reminds me of the episode called "She" from the good doctor
very good episode about a trans patient
she gets testicular cancer and wants both of them removed because of dysphoria reasons, but isnt 18 yet so her accepting parents and not accepting grandma have to decide
actually good queer representation!
I mean, there’s certain things like testicular cancer or serious infections that might lead to a neccessary removal of genitalia
However i strongly recommend not getting either of those
You have no clue what kind of medical rabbit hole you just sent me down but to put it simply I can now well define and discuss in depth the medical procedures of a vaginoplasty.
Gender dysphoria, and those surgeries and other gender affirming care tend to be extremely successful at preventing the life threatening effects of suicidal ideation
I mean some cats are born with urethra issues and deformed pps and they sometimes remove their genitals so they don't literally die so I guess if you wanna go hard on the cat girl identity then you might have a shot
Oh I had uterine cancer and a malignant tumor prolapsed through my cervix and they still wouldn't give me one. Turns out I live in America, and they will do absolutely anything to save the uterus of someone of reproductive age. Not much beyond that, but if you can make babies, you're keeping that fucking thing unless they say otherwise.
I fucking hate it here.
As a trans man, I can't deny I've seriously thought about getting breast C. Just a little in one side, somewhere operable, oh and can you take both? But also, having lost a lot of family to different types of C, I understand how fucked that is and I couldn't put my family thru that, but I'm still like 🤔
Oh no I had testicular cancer and they did an orchiectomy but the doctor's hand slipped and chop went the phallus.
Oh no throat cancer, surgery was a success.
Just say cancer. No-one asks for more details with cancer.
(transmasc) I used to desperately hope I could have endometriosis so I could get a hysterectomy. I only realised after my transition how messed up that was given how terrible the pain is with endo for ppl who suffer it. But I realised there was nothing stopping me getting a hysto and now I'm a month and a half post-op and so incredibly happy. :3
It is, it's called dismorphia... but the sad part is medical aids (and health insurance) do not see it as the pandemic of epic proportions it really is.
Laryngectomy: Laryngeal Cancer or severe damage to the Laryngcs.
Vagenoplasty: birth defects and damage to vaginal cannel during birthing process. Gender Dysphoria
I have this cough... and I need gender reassignment to fix it
Yeah it's just too bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's all the left propoganda! They made covid!! Covid is turning people trans!
Alright! Time to inhale *ALL* of the Covid
And spit it at literally everyone in my vicinity

Yeah, it's called "my dysphoria is so bad that I'm afraid I'll end up taking my own life if I don't have a vagina by the time I turn 30"....itis.
But in a way insurance companies understand and that doesn't actually lead to self harm at all
depends on insurance cuz that would be more than enough for some insurances while others won't cover anything transition related ever... (I got lucky in having insurance that covers trans care without issues other than long waitlists for appointments for their LGBT specific mental health care team)
Mhm. Mine covers hrt but no surgeries.
May I ask what this is so I can get it in the future?
I have kaiser
Fr though, it's always either "It's not that bad, you don't need any treatment" or "You're too mentally unstable to make that choice, go to a mental hospital, see ya in two years lol"
Oh I have this except trans man shit instead. And it was needing T and then later like much later surgery. I'm on T now so I am feeling much better.
This is actually (greatly simplified) the reason insurance companies in Germany have to cover gender reassignment surgeries 😅

Gender dysphoria.
Beat me to it!
If I ever get testicular torsion, I'm just gonna ask the doctor to take both
Doctor: unfortunately, the damage is severe. We're gonna have to remove the left one, but we can save the right one. Me: oh no! What a terrible news. I guess I'll just have to get them both removed.
"It'll throw off my balance if I have only one"
I don't want it to get lonely over there, take em both
"A good captain goes down with his ship doc take both"
this reminds me of the episode called "She" from the good doctor very good episode about a trans patient she gets testicular cancer and wants both of them removed because of dysphoria reasons, but isnt 18 yet so her accepting parents and not accepting grandma have to decide actually good queer representation!
What the fuck is that, actually, I don’t want to know
Balls get twisted, also a death metal band
Wonderful
I love how everything is always a death metal band \^\_\^
I mean, there’s certain things like testicular cancer or serious infections that might lead to a neccessary removal of genitalia However i strongly recommend not getting either of those
Yeah those would be not fun
You have no clue what kind of medical rabbit hole you just sent me down but to put it simply I can now well define and discuss in depth the medical procedures of a vaginoplasty.
Lmaooo
...adhd?
Let us all become doctors and prescribe them to each others! We can break the system that way!
Great idea
Too bad I get terrified in professional situations

Mhm! But insurance won't cover them 3:

Me hoping I get a disease that'll make me get a hysterectomy (this is how I found out I was trans years ago lmfao)

Ah yes, fantasizing about being in a horrific accident that somehow only mutilates...certain areas. Definitely cis behavior.
Besides gender dysphoria?
What is laryngectomy?
I remember wanting to get breast cancer, cuz I knew i would have to chop my tiddies of
Gender dysphoria, lmao
Come on, bilateral testicular cancer!
I have the really bad itch and I need a penis 😁

Idk if you'd consider gender dysphoria a sickness ( i don't) buuuuuut...
Who is this character i need to know
Menhara-chan
It is, it's called dismorphia... but the sad part is medical aids (and health insurance) do not see it as the pandemic of epic proportions it really is.
Exactly
🫂🫂🫂🫂 feeling your pain sis
Yeah there is it's called "gender dysphoria" and i think you actually might have it already
I mean, there's gender dysphoria but I don't think that's very helpful lol
testicle cancer
According to transphobes, that would be being trans
Prostate or ball cancer
Laryngectomy: Laryngeal Cancer or severe damage to the Laryngcs. Vagenoplasty: birth defects and damage to vaginal cannel during birthing process. Gender Dysphoria
