I'm of to my #orchi consult!! Wish me luck! 🍒 ✂️
Fuck, she won't do an orchi until I've been on estrogen for a year. That puts me in April. According to her the office is strict WPATH and I was too nervous to point out that they're on WPATH 7 and not WPATH 8, which doesn't require a year, nor does it require letters.
Every fucking night I'm laying curled up in a fucking ball in pain. I hate this. I want them gone!!
Writing my surgeon an actual hand-written letter, describing how I lay in pain every single night, and talking about WPATH 8 guidelines, and telling her
"I understand you may not have a choice, and I am not arguing about your process. But I am begging for your compassion. If there is any way for you to take this pain away from me sooner, I, and my entire family, are begging you. Please."
@terrafiedkestrel I had the same thing with my surgeon. Year on hormones, 2 letters, plus an evaluation from my cardiologist. I am so sorry about this. I hope that your letter will have some sway on them.
Hugs sister.
@joanne07081 @terrafiedkestrel I threw myself into trying to get it done as early as possible, and still only managed it at 10 months.
That is great, I am so happy they were able to get you in early. 
I hope that Terra can get a similar outcome.
@joanne07081 @terrafiedkestrel Ended up being a birthday present. 🤡
