How do you do it? In Italy you’re just fucked if you want it to be covered. And also the economy fucking sucks.

    I’m not sure how well mcginn kept up with other US surgeons, but she was like the only other good US surgeon back in my day (I went to bowers who is like, OK at best)

      Having seen recent results i think she has kept up plus since she doesn’t take insurance for now I don’t have to wait too long, unlike if I tried to go with someone else, and being 15 years hrt I just want srs done with so that was a plus.

            how young? imo anyone who has been on hrt for 15+ years is basically an eldertran even if you started young.

            good on you for taking care of your grandfather :)

                nice! I transitioned at 16 and it’s been over half my life also ^.^

                that’s so cool your aunt transitioned over 30 years ago! I never had contact with anyone like that, I’m used to being one of the longest transitioned members of trans communities at this point.

                  Same here with usually being longest transitioned. I didn’t know my aunt or her wife were trans until after I started transitioning like I got diy from stealing my mom’s card before I got told they were wish I had known sooner and cause of that, despite being stealth in most aspects of my life i want all my nieces and nephews to know just so they have someone they can reach out to. Ironically I’ve never talked to m aunt about being trans it’s always very surface level of oh I’m getting srs now and her response is good for you lol.

                    damn that’s crazy, stealthing on the family like that but it makes sense because you were a later generation i suppose. and that’s good, I would want to be out to my nieces and nephews also if siblings ever have any kids lol.
