I'd imagine that everyone thinks that transgender care is easy to get in California but the nearest gender clinic covered by my insurance is like a three hour drive away and the nearest qualified top surgeon is like two hours away.

Road trip! (going to the gender doctor)

The central valley is a location that's like perpetually ten to twenty years in the past on almost all fronts. The city that I live in is literally a medical tourism destination for the region and we have no surgeons in town that will do any standard gender affirming surgery. They ship you off to LA or the bay area for that.

This just in. Alberta can win the war against the rats but not against boobs.

I have not claimed that I am experiencing a traumatic event. I simply think that being forced to go a long ways out of my way for basic medical care isn’t a great thing. My region is just not great for trans people in general. If the situation is worse in your region I sympathize with you. I hope it gets better for both of us.

i was born in Central California and i can definitely see l say the area is a lot more conservative than people think especially once you're out of major city limits. but even in Western Washington, i have a friend who the closest place she can get electrolysis covered by insurance (which is necessary to get bottom surgery eventually) is a 4 hour drive away from her house. and electrolysis isn't a one time deal, it takes months of twice weekly sessions. she still has to spend hundreds of dollars a month just in gas to get there. 'better than other places' but y'all the bar is in hell

in the cambrian period the ocean was shallow and the sun never set. every day was sunday morning and there was never any dark. the world was a watery wonderland and air didnt exist yet. animals had just invented eating eachh other and it was really funny. having eyeballs was all the rage

its true ❤

what do you know ❤

the ocean was made of sprite also

theres been a lot of people on this post trying to correct basically every aspect of what ive said but nobody's confronted me on "everyday was sunday morning"

everybody agrees everyday was sunday morning

Y'all. "Hell is empty and the devil's are here" is not one of those epic Tumblr quotes. It's from The Tempest. The Shakespeare one.

remember when that furry post went around with "you have nothing to lose but your chains" and people were saying "this is such a raw ass line and it's from a furry post" but it's literally karl marx

reading waiting for godot for class and finding out that’s where that “that’s how it is on this bitch of an earth” meme is from ruined me i think

new game: "classic or shitpost?" in which we give you a raw-ass quote and you have to determine whether it came from an internet shitpost or classic literature

"I will face god and walk backward into hell" that one on the other hand is actually from a dril tweet

my mum has severe knee problems and needs a replacement. Today she was told she's too fat to be operated on and the knee specialist suggested she gets a gastric band - which also involves surgery. So my mum was like first of all you didn't read my file because it explains that I'm not fat because I eat too much second of all you said it's impossible for me to get surgery and then suggested I get a surgery about it? He then asked her her weight and height, didn't believe her answer, and made her prove it to him because she "looks fatter than that". So she was like so you also just entirely based this on looks instead of actual numbers?

My mom went through something similar. She needed a knee replacement and her doctor wouldn’t okay it until she lost weight, which was difficult given the whole knee problem preventing her from walking thing. He told her she was too dangerous to operate on and that there were just too many risks.

My mom tried to lose weight in vain for months before she finally gave into my begging her to get a second opinion. The first doctor she saw next scheduled her for surgery the same day she met him. When my mom asked about the risk of operating on her he told her that there was some minor risks for complication and that all she would need to do to alleviate the risk was spend an extra night in the hospital so that they could keep a look out for any complications.

There were zero. There were also zero complications when she had her other knee done, her hip replaced and her gallbladder removed.

Almost like the first doctor was entirely full of shit and just trying to coerce his patient to lose weight by scaring her for fucking nothing, even when she was living day to day in excruciating pain and desperately needed a surgery.

We should be allowed to kick the everloving literal shit out of these people. May they reap the care they give, all at once, with no pain relief and nobody who believes them. May they know fear.

PARIS WAS NOT NAMED AFTER PARIS HILTON YOU DIPSHIT

it was obviously named after Paris, the trojan prince.

A common misconception! Paris Hilton was named after Paris, the Trojan Prince, and Paris (the city) was named after Plaster of Paris, for trade relation reasons (that plaster being the main export f the area when the city was founded).

Plaster of Paris getting its name, of course, from its inventor, Paris Hilton.

I don’t know why anybody uses ChatGPT when they can log into Tumblr Dot Com and see *bespoke* obviously stupid lies, handcrafted by a real asshole for free.

Highlighting that this is “considered quite rare” but in actuality we have absolutely no idea how common this, or indeed a great many variants in sexual development, are. Because if it’s not visible from the outside then we only learn about it if doctors (or coroners) go looking, and doctors only go looking if it’s causing a problem.

This is called being

INTERSEX

and its insane how often I see this post going around without this word mentioned once
