I Got A Free Vagina!

So, our statement came in from Mount San Rafael Hospital, stating our total due after insurance was $1500, which we expected. But when we looked at our explanation of benefits from Cigna, they said we'd only owe $1270. We called the hospital to figure out the discrepancy, and they re-checked the contract they have with Cigna, and found out that according to their contract, after the insurance company pays their portion, the hospital is supposed to write off the remainder. Which means I owe NOTHING! I got a FREE VAGINA!!!!!

Congratulations!

That is absolutely wonderful.

I am so happy for you, it must be one of the greatest feelings in the world. :groupwavereversed:

However for a large portion of society that prospect would be horrifying - they are called men! :rolleyes:

Love ya,

That is amazingly awesome.

About the best I can hope for is I wake up one day with vaginal bleeding as a side effect from my estradiol but no luck so far. And that's $10/3 months so hardly free anyway.

Yeah that happened to me 63 years ago and I am still pouting about it. They tell me I cried non-stop my first 6 months. No wonder!

But it doesn't lessen my happiness for Kairi.

I'm good. Just soooo busy now that I'm back at work and school. I've already roped myself into giving a lecture on transsexuality in my Psychology of Human Sexuality class this Thurs.

Hey Kairi,

I am glad that you are feeling so much better and doing things again - but giving a lecture?

Didn't you know that public speaking is the number one fear in the US - followed by death?

So according to Jerry Seinfeld - if you are going to a funeral you would rather be in the casket than giving the eulogy.

Just a pep talk! :poster_oops:

I am so glad that things are going well for you, I have forgotten, how long ago was your surgery?

Love ya,

Sally

That is fantastic, a free one, we need more of those, i have Cigna too and am fighting with them to see what they will cover, Dr. Mcginn does not take insurance but i was told the hospital and anesthesiologist would be covered but not Dr. Mcginn's fee, i guess what they do not pay for i will write off on taxes.

roflmao @ the title of this topic.

Yeah, I agree. For a minute there, I thought Costco or some other store was giving free samples.

:huh:

I WANT ONE! Doesn't even need to be gift wrapped.

That's great, Kairi. You are truly one of the lucky ones.

Sally dear, most of the men I know would love a free vagina, just on somebody else not themselves. :rolleyes:

lol! It doesn't bother me at all. I've lectured at Stetson University, Rollins College, as well as two campuses of my own school, Valencia College, including my own classes. Two semesters ago, I lectured to my Biology of Human Sexuality class and the professor liked it so much, he asked me to do it for ALL his classes. I'm sure it'll go well Thurs as well. It always ends up being a lot of fun once I loosen the tension with a few jokes.

What about a blue CROSS special?

Seriously, though, Blue Cross is great to work with, too. Recommendation letters work wonders with insurance companies.

good luck

I'd be happy for you if i was ever going to get one myself... but I am coming to the realization it'll never happen for me.

Oh, now. That's not the attitude to have. If someone had told me when I started transitioning at 25 that I'd celebrate my 30th birthday as a post-op woman, I'd slap them for lying to me. But here I am!

When I think about how the only thing I'd change about my past is to have started earlier, I realize that that simply was not a option for me. If I could have started earlier, I WOULD have started earlier. But each step just wasn't in the cards for me until it happened, and couldn't have happened another way. But I always believed it WOULD happen, and it did. If I had ever given up hope, I wouldn't be here, where I am today. Don't give up dear....ever!

No insurance here.....

So, I'm throwing pocket change into a jar.....

I had to blow Popsicle juice through my nose when I saw this topic, though....

"Naww...don't bother to wrap it, Hon....I'll wear it home!"

HUGGGGGS!

Insureance wouldn't help me... both the aetna policy we currently have and the kaiser one we could switch to specifically state they will NOT cover grs. In plain english, my wife's employer (which is ultimately the washington post) don't believe it is legitimate.

      @VickySGV    Good point.  There are websites full of porn and fantasies related to cross dressing, trans stories, etc., and people might easily think those are written by TG types and accurately describe TG folk.
    • VickySGV
      No one has mentioned the Adult Entertainment Industry aka the Pornography Industry which for too long was the ONLY source of information about us for the general public.  I actually realized what I was from an XX Rated publication that I snuck behind a comic book at the neighborhood convenience / liquor store.  The person in the article told of her feelings up until and through GCS which I identified with completely, but then went on to the sob story of a marriage crashing when her knowing husband went to a new job and they found out she was Trans on a security check and threatened the husband with legal action unless he divorced her ---  yada yada!!   On that note she decided her  life was ruined. --    Other problems in the Porn Press are of course the "Morality" and it is there that child endangerment stories for actual mental illness types  comes in.  Also in that media they emphasize the Fetishistic Cross Dresser classification which is an actual addiction situation and is a harmful process addiction of sex that is as terrible as Drug and Alcohol Addiction can be.  The pornographic issues and sources of information are readily available in the opening pages of a Google Search while actual Trans information is about page 200 on the engine.   A recent misadventure I had that shows how acceptable I am as my True Self is that a man who claimed to be a church elder (minister??) told me how he had never come up with legitimate information   on Trans People and actual Trans Children and he went on to brag about what he did find that was morally damning by looking for the  information.  He continued to go into detail about other pornographic sources and how nasty they were. I asked him then why HE, a MINISTER kept looking at the Porn.  He replied to me that he kept up with it to warn his congregation of the true evils he had seen so he could minister to them.  Happily for me a friend of mine came along so I could  break away from the guy who was after my soul.  (He did not read me as Trans, whew!!)

      Just like anything else that is new it's always the thing that people fear of. People are typically afraid of change. Even something as simple as new procedure at work or the population growing. Typically just have the mindset of it's not broken then don't fix it type of attitude. The world is progressing and they need to accept that or they will eventually be left behind. A good example after WW II women working in the workforce things didn't go well at all due to a lot of butting heads. There are still even people now that think women are only meant for housework and raising babies.

      I've actually seen a lot of people who at least tolerate the LGB and not the T. There's also some of the gay/lesbian population that, unfortunately, alienate trans people away from other parts of the community.   To me, the biggest block is probably the lack of formal exposure. If people aren't taught about LGBT they will, just like any other topic, come to misunderstandings and more. Besides, how can most LGBT people figure out that they are such if they don't know it exists? I know that, personally, I didn't realize I was a guy rather than just someone who wanted to be a guy until I was introduced to trans as a concept

      You're welcome. I wanted to post something new that I haven't posted yet.

      That's a lot of weight congratulations. I was almost about to become a K9 handler in the Air Force back in 2006 but I found out that once you get promoted to E7 you lose your dog. You can get it at E4 as long as they need them but it is usually E5. If you don't understand military jargon, I'll help you out. I didn't want to join the Marines because I actually like to be treated better. I was Security Forces and performed security, law enforcement and everything you could think of such as convoying, fire fights, search pit just to name some. It also helped that I had family that was Air Force and I went through Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps so I knew the basics of Air Force already. That's awesome that you have goals in life. I hope you get it.

      Not sure what category I'd call this—don't care—I like American music. Any American. Thanks, @Ashley0616

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      G'day @Vivelacors   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I hope you find this place as informative and helpful as I do.   Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D
