"Bottom surgery" is serious business, it's not cosmetic. (not that cosmetic surgery isn't serious as well). It's a major surgery with long recovery time, so I'm not surprised that most people don't elect to get it.
I do think that being upset that health professionals won't use the male gender is expecting a bit much, though.
Happy birthday, Allyson!!
The word "birthday" reminded me that today is also my niece's birthday--I'll have to call her tonight to give her my happies since I forgot to send her a card. Oh, well, I'll be able to see her in a few weeks.
Happy birthday to Allyson!
My Task of the Afternoon is cataloging homework. I am so dreading this that I am now considering working on my annual review self-assessment instead. Yes, it is that bad.
Also, I bring you Babies In The Snow (mine): [link]
This is the house in my hood that I want right now. [link]
It's only a block away, but a house not a co-op and more than double the size of my place. I'd have to figure out how to make the 3rd fl a private access apt. well, after I won the lotto so that I could buy it.
Oh wow, msbelle. I want that house too.
[Actually I want this one which is a block away from my very first apt in NYC.]
My understanding is that "bottom surgery" is actually much less common than most non-trans people assume.
Right. Not least because, F-to-M surgery is kind of... not really perfected. I gather M-to-F is much further along, but I don't know how it does on the "retain sensation" scale. (And anyway, in general, who takes a
sharp knife
to the
crotch
in the absence of necessity? Besides all those scary people who want designer cooters on Dr. 90210?)
flea, I hate to break it to you, but your kids aren't babies! I can't believe how big the Dillo is.
Wow. Real estate is cheap in Queens.
I'll still never be able to own property. In New York, at least.
