3·2 days agothis is very Australia specific, but the surgery that i contacted gave me a list of MBS item numbers which i used to find which categories i needed cover for (by checking this). the government has a tool for comparing policies here which i used as a shortlist for which companies to call. it’s unfortunately a very tedious and draining process so best of luck. if you’re outside of Aus i hope someone else can offer more information
edit: funnily, the procedure encompass both the “Gynaecology” and “Male reproductive system” surgical categories here. very gender
bottom surgery/laser stuff (cw: bottom dysphoria mention)
i’ve decided that i want to start prepping for bottom surgery. i’ve been researching clinics here and overseas, looking at health insurance, figuring out what other prep i have to do, etc. for the last few weeks. while i think i could get better results for about the same cost in Thailand, i think i would be more comfortable being able to do recovery at home and avoiding flights/accomodation
since that’s the case, i’ll need to have top cover insurance for 12 months before the surgery - which lines up with the 12 months (minimum?) of recommended hair removal. i got the insurance sorted earlier in the week and thought that i may as well start getting laser done too (clinic said that a course of laser along with electrolysis to finish up should suffice). i spent a couple hours shaving the area yesterday and jesus christ, i felt like complete shit and had nicked myself a few times too (if anyone has advice for shaving their girl balls do tell). i’ve been able to keep the bottom dysphoria at manageable levels but, since it’s the only thing i’ve been thinking about lately, it’s been getting a bit worse
anyways, i was anxious as fuck for the laser - despite the girls there being wonderful for my normal face/bikini sessions - but i explained the situation and it all went very normally. i didn’t get charged anything on top of my bikini cost and the laser tech was lovely the entire time, she even talked about her own struggles with getting Brazilian laser done. so, i’ll keep up the hair removal, pay for a psych to give their approval for what i do with my body, and maybe be posting about having a vag in 12+ months time if all goes to plan! i can’t wait to abuse the fuck out of my job’s gender affirmation leave too
5·2 days agoDeath’s Gambit Afterlife is a 2d platformer soulslike and probably the closest i’ve found to my ideal parry game, although it’s quite short
Nine Sols is also pretty good but i haven’t put as much time into it
aww very lovely mega post to kick off pride month!
and so begins the rolling tranniversaries + egg cracks

seriously though, it’s hilarious thinking back to Christine warning Steph in the cells that the program isn’t designed for people like her. i mean they even started the whole Dorley 2.0 with a (non-forced) trans woman in Ashley
ooh i’m excited to see what happens with Raph! though i don’t have much hope for Ollie…
major ch 33 spoilers
and the fucking twist with Will?? genuinely one of the most surprising moments i’ve read yet. it was obvious he was repressing something but i did not at all expect him to be trans. i guess Tabitha does have a knack for finding and cracking eggs though, maybe i should have known
Dorley chapter 32
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i knew it was coming but omgggg
Bethany Erin is an adorable name and i’m so fucking happy for her. kinda funny how stock standard Dorley material she is, but that also means she’s by far not as alone as she thought she was
oh and Amy, of all people, being the one to make Melissa and Shahida finally kiss was perfect. i really hope Abby reaches out soon though
hmmm yeah okay, i totally get that too
i feel like animation would deal with all these issues pretty well, especially the time skips. i’ve got Pantheon in mind as inspo and its characters grew and changed quite believably. also, i think “trans and gay forcefem basement story” might already be targeting a pretty niche audience to worry about it being less of a hit
whatever the medium, i’m praying that i can watch this tv show in my lifetime
there’s a smallish tear that can probably be sewn back together but i’ll need to replace the zipper first
i just tripped over and broke my favourite skirt

tall girl struggles
it’s kinda funny when you hold the women’s bathroom door open and someone walks under your arm though
i know that Girl, so confusing isn’t literally about it being confusing to be a girl but also, i listened to brat right as i realised i was one. so of course whenever i hear that song, all i can think of is my little eggy self belting her heart out to that shit
down with cis
