  • So sorry you dealt with this.

    Related/unrelated, I had my wisdom teeth extracted by an intern (went as well as you expect), who butchered the situation and left me in the ER. Genuinely felt like I was dying. Bless those doctors though as they did fix me up without any money out of pocket (or ever which I'll always have guilt for). After the medical bills started coming in, "helpful friends" kept saying "this is just a lawsuit, you'll win in a heartbeat"

    Which, cool! Except no lawyer would work with me without a hefty down payment (unsure if that's the term). So I was just fucked. For 7 years, I dodged phone calls and had shit credit.

    The system sucks for poor people. And I sympathize so much with non-rich trans folks, for whom treatments/surgeries just aren't an option.








  • THIS.

    I have completely true commentary here. My partner is MTF, and pre-transition for about half of our relationship. It was pretty rocky early on, NGL, but I saw good in her. Once she transitioned...we stopped fighting. Ever. Literally ever. I think the biggest argument we have had in years is over whether garlic belongs in mashed potatoes or not (an "argument" in which we were both laughing throughout it).

    An interesting side effect of watching someone become who they are inside is the ripple effect. Everyone else in their lives feels and experiences their happiness.

    Also garlic belongs in mashed potatoes and I will die on this hill
