androgen

I just wanted y'all to know I am on to the next fight,to get androgen for my transition.And it is looking like it is going to be a battle to get it.Sorry if I haven't been around as much.

I ask myself this most days,Why does this stupid society hung up over something as stupid as this binary gender bullshit STILL want to force me to stay this wrong way? In this gender based biological prison. I have had all my surgeries to remove the female parts,

There is endrocrinological proof for transgender being a real issue,physical proof too,why can't more people just get past the binary bullshit?

Wish me luck I have a feeling this might lead to a precedent if it goes that far.

Anyways I also have another thing on my mind the march on washington,anyone got any ideas for protest signs?

The parade (last sentence) is on October 10, and the subway cat's going to be a float in it.  I'll be keeping my eyes on the spectacle, hoping to see the subway cat win first prize for "Biggest Float."

The defrocked warped primitive:

4. Good luck on your journey!

I can't begin to understand what you're going through, but that's not my job. My job is to accept you for who you are at any time.

Acne is going to be a real problem, especially at the beginning. Your body will adapt eventually, but meticulous skin care is going to be necessary until it does. I always think that's one of the suckier parts of the transition because it screws with your appearance so much.

As for signs, how about LISTEN TO YOUR PEOPLE? It's damn time they did.

6. What's the problem?

I assuming you're transitioning FtM. If you've had top and bottom surgery, you need T to stave off osteoporosis. That's a relatively simple diagnosis and treatment plan.

Oh man.  For some reason, the imagination short-circuited, reading the above.

The subway cat, a few days later:

12. Another ****ing gatekeeper asshole jamboree

My endocrinologist said androgen is slowly increased over time.The prescription was for 5 mg.Patches,1 a day.

Anyway the pharmacy and the MA are playing games,they are now telling me I need my endro's "pre Auth".WTF?? I thought writing the damn scrip IS her pre Authorization.Why would she give me something that she thinks would hurt me??..The patches WERE approved and the pharmacy told me to return the next day as they were out of patches in 5 mg.

Then I get there the next day and all of a sudden Denied! Now the insurance claims to await my endocrinologist's pre auth? She called them already!!WTF!!.Daily they jerk my chain around on this.I am losing my Patience with these game playing assholes.All of them.

Not one single word of thanks to the hardworking taxpayers that made this freaks experiments in trans species - trans gender conversion possible.

Nothing to indicate that even if the surgery is successful this tattooed circus attraction will ever become a contributing member of society and return even a a few measly points of one percent of the debt it owes the taxpayer for this abomination.

I can't imagine that employment opportunities for a cat-man-woman are huge at the best of times let alone in the middle of a recession.

The traveling freak show might have an opening.

This is being paid for how?
Has that ever been explained and if somehow it is on the public dole then why do they bitch about health care?

If this is somehow available via medicaid or other public funds then folks need to scream to high heaven to stop such insane nonsense.

[GOBUCKS]

Androgen? I thought that was a human hormone. Or do cats run on it as well?

So now what further responsibility do the taxpayers have for this perverted lunatic?

I suppose we have to find a veterinary urologist/plastic surgeon to fashion a pretend tomcat pecker.

One must wonder to what use it will be put after we pay for the surgery.

All the while, DUmmies report uninsured deadbeats being left to die on the curb in front of the same hospital.

So maybe DUmmy UGP serves a useful purpose after all.

Anybody know this pole cat's real name? I sure would like to research how in the hell you can get this done. Even if it's private insurance, this is wacked!

And what if the subway cat just decided to be a pedophile, would you just accept that?  Asshole.

I hope this hurts like hell....heck I'm SURE it will...

Genital reconstructive procedures (GRT) use either the clitoris, which is enlarged by androgenic hormones (Metoidioplasty), or rely on free tissue grafts from the arm, the thigh or belly and an erectile prosthetic (Phalloplasty). The latter usually include multiple procedures, more expense and with a less satisfactory outcome, in terms of replicating nature.

In either case, the urethra can be rerouted through the phallus to allow urination through the reconstructed penis. The labia majora (see vulva) are united to form a scrotum, where prosthetic testicles can be inserted.

"Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions."

~G. K. Chesterton

Cutting off your penis does not make you a woman.  Cutting off your tits does not make you a man.  Mounting a red light on your head does not make you a stop light.

Refusing to recognize any of the above is a symptom of serious mental illness.  Tolerating that refusal does not make you an "accepting" person; it makes you an uncaring idiot.

"Binary gender bullshit," indeed.

[Chump]

Wow, thanks for that BC.
