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,

Sally

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.

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.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.

      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.

      Free?!?!  That's insane.  I can understand perhaps mistaking somebody's well equipped garage as a business, but demanding free work is ridiculous.   My GF once remarked that while few things in life are free, butt-kickings are an exception. She offers those free-of-charge, to any who ask. A little charity helps the world go round 🤣

      I had a CDL when I was working for the city.  But I let it go when I retired.  I couldn't justify paying so much just to drive myself around.
    • Ivy
      While I'm sure the "Founders" had the 30 years war, etc. on their minds, they didn't write the constitution as considering only Christian sects. The early colonists (I used the word) did mostly come from areas of "christian culture" but it's hard to reconcile some of their actions with what Christ himself taught.   Christians have a right to their beliefs, but there are a lot of American citizens that do not consider themselves "christian."  I have seen writings where the US was specifically said not to be a "Christian Nation". "The 1797 Treaty of Tripoli that sought to secure America from attacks by the so-called Barbary pirates who were Muslim made a point to say that the United States "is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.""    It shouldn't be difficult to understand why the "Christian Nationalist" movement makes some of us uncomfortable.
