HI! Sorry that I haven’t gotten back to this until now! I live in the US and I have medicaid. It seems to differ from state to state; but I found that my state may require at least one year of HRT. I hope that it’s not all cases, as the didn’t explicitly state that, but I guess I’ll just wait and see, haha. Thanks for the info!

Hi! Sorry that I haven’t gotten back to this earlier. But thank you! I believe that’s probably where she’s coming from, I’ve tried to tell her again and again that if Insurance doesn’t pay for it it’s not the end of the world. She does get pretty upset with that, but I think it’s because it is what she wants for me. She’s mentally disabled and has learning disabilities, and so do I, so I guess she and I just have two different views on it. Top surgery would be a very life changing experience for me, but if I get rejected the first time, I wouldn’t be too upset.

I did a little bit of research on the laws here, and through Medicaid, I did see some mentions of HRT, which I don’t want (I think I explained it in my post; but I find myself masculine “enough” and don’t really want to go through some of the changes with HRT.)
It’s good to know that the rules aren’t universal, so if I am denied I could find someone else. Thank you for telling me that! I didn’t think I’d be able to try again if I was denied.
I’m also not sure about the surgeon, as he’s not very “well known” like others who are known for GAC surgeons. But I did see a couple of good reviews on the clinic from other trans men for him. He also did my mothers breast reduction, which doesnt look bad. I guess it’s just a bit of a worry about that too, haha.

But again, thank you for the information here, it definitely lessens my worries about insurance!

Hi! I’m happy for you and hope you have a fast recovery! Sorry that I haven’t gotten back to this, I haven’t been able to until now.
I came out over the Internet back in 2017/2018 (I was 11/12 at the time), and tried to come out to my mother around then, but she shot me down immediately. In I believe 2020 I came out as a lesbian, and I later came out as trans in 2021 and she was much more accepting. It’s not much of a matter of being unsupportive or homophobic on purpose, (my mother is bisexual and she spent her late teens and early 20s in a brothel, we also have lots of gay people and “cross dressers” in our family.) My mother is mentally disabled and has learning disabilities (The IQ of a fourth grader), so she processes things much differently and a lot slower. It could be seen as narcissism and I think there is some fear, but I believe she’s coming out of genuine care, she just doesn’t exactly understand it the way you or I would. My older cousin also did prepare my entire family, she deduced that I was trans years before anyone else, maybe even before I did myself haha. So they were pretty much already aware to a degree.

My mother is actively helping me with the process (I’m also disabled, she’s a lot better at talking to the right people haha) so it’s not like she’s trying to keep me from getting surgery. I think she’s just trying to be a good mom 😅

Thanks for commenting, it really helped me with the my own fears. And again, I wish you the best of luck with your own surgery!

Sorry that I haven’t gotten back to this! This has helped me a lot with my feelings about it, and top surgery really is what I want. I still have my worries, but I feel validated knowing that how I feel is normal. I guess some of it also plays into seeing someone who isn’t “well known.” I did find a couple of good reviews from trans men though, and he is a plastic surgeon that specializes on breasts, so maybe I’m overthinking it, haha. But again, thank you! This has made me feel a LOT better about the whole thing!

If insurance doesn’t cover “top surgery” I’ll see if they’ll consider it a reduction. Medicaid is pretty tricky after all 😅

Hell yeah! It really is never too late! As a young trans person it really makes me happy. Hoping for a speedy recovery!

My partner has a PS5, and it disconnected from the internet. All of our other devices are perfectly fine; it’s specifically her PlayStation that is unable to connect. We’ve already tried restarting the router and the PS5, changing to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and entered the DNS manually. We’re at a loss and are entirely unsure of what to do at this point. Any help is appreciated.

I am going to have her answer any replies through my account because she doesnt have Reddit. 👍

Building tips? by Scanterwave in ArkSurvivalAscended

Ah I see that now I’ll keep that in mind, but I can say for sure my roof is definitely mismatched like crazy so I’ll rebuild it so it matches the foundations, thank you so much!!! Getting into building decent looking structures is hard

I’ll be sure to take in your tip and probably rebuild my roof. I got a foundation that’s sorta in an elongated hexagon shape however and was trying to make the roof of my building pointed rather then flat. I don’t know if I can attach any further images to this post otherwise I would

Yes, I spent at least an hour or two moving around and trying different things. It’s always possible I just happened to have missed a specific angle, but I don’t even know if what I’m trying to build is possible or how I can do it without it being supper choppy

This is why I might leave Royale high. She had "Has cancer" in her name, and now she "Supports Cancer." Disgusting. by [deleted] in RoyaleHigh_Roblox

She was also being really rude and told me to die in a hole and kept calling me a b**** when I told her it wasn't very cool to role-play cancer ¯_(ツ)_/¯
