  1. 1. From what you've read, does it seem like most go with a friend?

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!

I'll probably be alone to thailand. Although some of my other sisters wanted to go with me and get some surgeries done at the same time.

Whatever it is I think and preparing for alone...... But i'll have you guys to talk to while I'm there :)

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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
