2024 was like that for me. "Will you have time on a random tuesday afternoon in your second semester?" Me: (Dude I start art school in 5 months I have no fucking idea if the sun has imploded by that point lol) "Errrrhh yeah, yeah, sure."

literally me
and that's just to schedule the consult; the surgery will take place "typically" 6-12 months later (so actually 1-2 years later)
Assuming you didn't get bumped or gatekept by the yearly WPATH letter that takes three one hour sessions before the therapist gives up and cancels your surgery behind your back instead of talking to you. 16 months and she put me at the back of the line. They have no empathy or compassion.
My surgeon supplied a list of local providers that will write the letter in one session. One derided the letter as unnecessary gatekeeping and writes them for free, whether or not you have need. I love my state.
I'm stuck in the insurance system because I have a Medicare Advantage plan. I'm actually going to file malpractice and the fact that only trans people have to submit to this will be brought up, so who knows, maybe I'll get the law changed to do away with the letters. And them being yearly is dumb.
for a long time i’ve said the only way i’m gonna get bottom surgery is if someone on Lex posts that they got a 2-for-1 deal and they’re giving away the extra ticket if you can carpool to NYC this weekend.
me to my surgeon: wyd rn?
Tbf NYC is a great place to get a 2-for-1 deal on it
i can't wait for 30 years from now when they have groupon deals to get bottom surgery
Just doing my job...
😭
Jealoussss
But like fr idc if I’m busy this is the number one priority I will move other things around to get my surgery I’d quit my job like just tell me what I need to do and I’m there
right? they act like surgeries for stuff like this are an inconvenience and it's like "no this is literally the highest priority straight up"
god real
i literally don't have plans yet for this coming weekend, i think i think im gonna be free
i don't know what im doing over a week from now, i think i can pencil you in
