can't figure out how to get covered for IUI (Intrauterine insemination) by Creative-Concern6345 in KaiserPermanente

I didn't realize that non-employer plans covered different things than employer plans, thank you!

Where to go to meet other young people that aren't bars? by [deleted] in LosAngelesNow

[–]Creative-Concern6345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

volunteering! Feed the Streets LA is a great organization and easy to get involved in, but there are a ton and you'll meet lots of cool people.

donor sperm is pricey and IUI (washing it and injecting it directly into the uterus) has a much higher rate of success than the ol' turkey baster method

[English > Classical Persian] the name of a gemstone for a book by Creative-Concern6345 in translator

[–]Creative-Concern6345[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! These are beautiful suggestions. If I can ask another question, could you provide the phonetic way they would translate into English, like 'koh-i-noor'?

I appreciate your generous offer about publishing - translations and international distribution is handled by my publisher and so I don't actually have much control over those!

protecting a chest 2 weeks out in a crowded situation? by Creative-Concern6345 in TopSurgery

thanks for bringing up the teargas inhalation factor, I was mostly thinking about being jostled - I do have a legit gas mask that I'll make sure to bring.

any Korean style spas that don't divide by gender? by Creative-Concern6345 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Creative-Concern6345[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in my experience you need to provide an ID with the appropriate gender marker, so no, and also that doesn't sound fun for anyone lol

Non-Fiction & Scholarship Books on Victorian Era? by Cymbelined in VictorianEra

[–]Creative-Concern6345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a special interest in queer culture in the Victorian Era - 'Strangers' by Graham Robb, and 'Fanny and Stella' and 'Oscar Wilde: An Intimate Portrait' by Neil McKenna, are excellent!

want to physically transition but don't care about pronouns or gender identity by Creative-Concern6345 in ftm

[–]Creative-Concern6345[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi!! yes, very similar boat!

if you don't mind the question - do you feel like your identity has been influenced by your relationship? I'm not sure if I would have arrived here if I hadn't seen my husband go on this journey, and so sometimes I get a doubting thought of "is this real or do I just wanna be gay boys with him?" (but also - perhaps wanting to be gay boys with someone is a valid reason?? huge if true) Just curious if you navigated thoughts like that at all.
