I was curious how many people, MtF or FtM go to the genital surgery clinic with someone? A friend? A fellow trans-friend?

It seems like quite a few from what I've read, but I'd like to know how many actually go alone. And especially for MtF's who elect to go to Thailand for surgery?

Interesting question. I've asked my mother and a good friend, but that time is a long ways away yet... I don't really have any trans friends close enough that I would ask to go to Thailand with me for a month but maybe. I'll have to see when I get there.

My letter is on file with Dr. Preecha in Bangkok....

When I go, my girlfriend will be with me...because we'll get SRS at the same time....

Go figure!

Hm, that's interesting!

So I'm still not really sure, but it sounds more like it's an optional thing. In most of the trans films I've seen the women took a friend with them, maybe that's just Hollywood or something.

That's a beautiful way to do it :)

I'd want to have someone with me to remind me I don't have to be a loner any more. Either a friend or one of my parents. It'll be like choosing my maid of honour :)

A good friend from my local group went with me, there are a few people from my local group that went to Thailand by themselves and had no problems, if they did they do not talk about them, there are others i know that had surgery here in the US or Canada that also went alone that did fine. personally i think it is better having someone with you, the first couple weeks after surgery moving around or getting up is uncomfortable and sometimes painful, at least it was for me.

Personally i could not imagine being half way around the world, in a strange country by myself having major surgery.

I had planned to go it alone, due to finances, but my gf flew out while I was on the table to surprise me when i woke up. Yes, she's incredible. She was with me from the Fri I had my surgery to the following Mon. She got me through the worst of it, helping me out of bed the first few times etc, and of course the company couldn't be beat.

Can it be done on your own, absolutely! But having someone there just makes it all the better.

My boyfriend and mother are going to be coming with me out to San Francisco for my appointment. Feeling so lucky to have them both willing to come along on the journey

I will be flying to Miami to be with my friend Rita when she takes her final step and has orchie. I will stay three days and then head home, which is her plan. Personally, I think she should have allowed more time but I guess she will be able to drive from Miami to Jacksonville Florida that soon after, right? :rolleyes:

Kelise hit the nail on the head, though, when she said that the company can't be beat!

Love

It would be nice to have someone come along to help you while you're recovering but sometimes with schedules and all it doesn't work out that way. Someone to get your bag to get something out, or get something that dropped on the floor, etc.

      Are you left or right handed?

      I’m a lefty. Learned to be a bit ambidextrous for certain tools that assume right handedness like scissors, but couldn’t write with my right hand to save my life.

      Tangent, adjacent, opposite...  It's still rock n' roll to me.  I don't know about the "in god we trust" part of the money, but I like the lady with the scale.  And then I look left at the Indian statue on my mantel of Guanyin feeding a drop of liquid to the dragon at her feet.  In god we trust?  The lady with the scale?  Maybe this is too binary.  And then on the other side of Guanyin is that kind of pelican wood bird that sits two feet tall that I hauled back from South America through the Panama canal.  The beak broke in 1998 and I carefully saved the pieces (as I usually do) and attached them back about a decade ago.  I used a drill to make a small hole and then put a finish nail in there.  Then a hole on those two pieces that needed to be attached.  Upper and Lower beak.  There is still a seam showing.  I could cover that up, but the beak is a bright yellow and well, it's better with all the pieces in place and I don't mind seeing the crack.  I guess that is the tangent and the other two are the opposite and adjacent. -money  Why don't coders always code the "-" action in their search fields?  It's not that difficult!

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.

      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.

      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.
