Well....................................

Lizzy and I went to Wells Fargo today to cash in an annuity that I have......

She has other money set aside, as well ........

Please don't say "You're lucky"......

Why? Because "Luck" had nothing to do with it......

I started this annuity 20 years ago and worked tons of overtime and didn't take a vacation for 7 years...

And now....we're finally going to get our SRS....

When I called my "Financial Adviser" , she said "You need to save this money for when you're old and need it.....

DUuuuuhhhh....

I'm 62 and Lizzy is 64.........we're old....

We need it......It's time for our SRS.......

It's our time.....period!

God how I love your posts, and Lizzy's to. I'm so happy for you. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences. Pity the poor nurses. They don't know you girls like we do <VBG>. Hurry home and take care of each other. Kathryn

I was gonna say, Dee Jay, not to spend it all in one place.

But, well, you're gonna spend it all in one place. :D

Better than putting it on the Pass line in a Vegas casino craps table, I'd say. Because you and Lizzie are guaranteed winners.

Actually Dee Jay hasn't even gotten the money yet and she already went on a Lady Bug buying spree.

We are going to have to keep her in a Lady Bug free zone until the surgery.

Love ya,

Dee Jay:

It's called working your butt off. It's called making sacrifices. It's called prudent planning.

Like, 'nuff said! You don't owe an explanation to anybody, girl. It's YOUR capital to use freely.

You've chosen your surgeon. You've got confidence in him (assuming it's a him). You're good to go.

Actually, I saw in one of your recent SRS threads where you mentioned that you're NOT using some cut-rate doctor. Hey, nobody said you were, as far as I know. You found a way to finance your surgery, made the deal (or arrangement with whoever), saw the surgeon to get your clearance and, I'm assuming, make a good-faith deposit. What's not to like? All systems are go!

Those on here who want SRS/GRS should keep in mind that ANYTHING can be financed. Okay, most really good SRS surgeons want cashe on the barrel head. Many of them don't accept insurance. No biggie. People can arrange financing terms and conditions with third parites (like you did with your annuity in this case), make the deal, get the funds, pay the surgeon and have the surgery. My point is that it's POSSIBLE and most of us can do it!

Need money for SRS? Make like Donald Trump, think possibilities, make the deal and get it done! Think it can't be done? It CAN be done! Dee Jay found a way. Most of you can too! As for me, I'll most likely not have SRS/GRS. I waffle back on forth on the issue. Anybody who waffles about it most likely SHOULD NOT have the surgery. That's just me.

Those of you that WANT the surgery CAN find a way to have it. Yes, you CAN!

Believe :friends: Lacey

Oh, yeah:

Think The Loy-Jenkins SRS Express is about to roll! Alright! Congrats! All aboard! Roll 'em!

Financial advisors...... yeah some punk who has no idea.........

Ignore the punk, and do what you need to do with your money.

It is your money afterall. The punk has nothing meaningful to say. That punk represents the bank's interests., not yours.

Love

It's all arranged ...it's our money....

It's a perfect deal.... The SRS will be in a major medical facility (USA) and with a very experienced doctor....

Are we excited and happy?

HELL YEAH!

It's the end of this portion of our transition....

It's not the end, though.....

Much to go.....

....and I still need to collect those fees from all those other mods.....(tell ya latter)

If I had ignored my financial adviser and not left my money in his so charming hands I'd have top surgery and skin reduction scheduled for next week already. And he might have had to wait awhile longer to retire I suspect. Lost over 100K that way.

I'd spend my last penny and count it well lost -if I had one instead of my financial adviser having it :)-to get top surgery. Beats spending it on nursing homes and Depends some day anyway.

Go for it girls.

How often do you get to have a lifelong dream come true and how could anyone ever put a price on it?

I am so deeply happy for you both

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
