Some question about surgery


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm agender (or non-binary, I'm still figuring things out).

 

It been quite some time that I start thinking about top surgery (even before I started wondering if I wasn't something else than cisgender). And I have some question that maybe some of you can help me with (it okay if not all, I may just need to do more research).

 

How much can it cost?

 

I live in Canada and I'm not sure exactly of how much this surgery might cost (And I think I read somewhere than insurance weren't including them?). I know it's not just a couple of hundred, but just to have an idea of how much I can put on the side to do it in a couple of years.

 

Are there organization in Canada that could help me?

 

I think that maybe there is, but the problem is that I feel like I would take away someone else place. This idea that I would take someone else place might come from tumblr, but it also because I know that I don't feel dysphoric about my breast. I want a top surgery mostly because to me, they are just trouble that I need to take care and are pretty annoying when it come to clothing and things like that. I don't think I feel dysphoric about them, or if I do, not as much as other seem to do. So I was just wondering if it could still be a option for me or if I should let it for people who need it more.

 

Can it reduce breast cancer chance?

 

This is a more medical one I guess. I was wondering if it could help me reduce the chance of getting breast cancer since my mother is currently going through it and we still don't know if it genetic. Also my grand-mother had two herself and I suppose the chance are high that I could get it too, so I was wondering if top surgery could also help reducing the chance.

 

I hope I wasn't too confusing in my question and that some of you will be able to help me a little.

@MaryMary thank you for those like, they did help me. I think I might need to contact specialist about mastectomy anf if organisation can help about that since I don't think I have dysphory (but honestly, I'm really bad at knowing how I feel and putting actual word on it).

Thanks again

      This topic reminds me of the lyrics to the Beatles song, "A Little Help From My Friends."   "What do you see when you turn out the lights?"   "I can't tell you but I know it's mine."   Carolyn Marie

      @Ivy have you read the actual document?   Has anyone else out there read it?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"

      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.

      Congratulations Lorelei! Yes, it is a powerful feeling to have the documents that say "you are you".

      Here is space for discussion on this, since the topic is large and could derail another thread SOMEBODY started.   Could some dear, sweet, kind Moderator pull everything related to this from the Voting for Trump thread and put it here?  I don't know if you can do that; I am the new girl on the block after all (blinks sweetly).

      I think I lost a friend :(

      I will have arrived when I have a b*tch certificate of my own.  I think someone called me one once.
