ADORO IL GENIO - E ADESSO??

Già, chi glielo dice?? Ma soprattutto: come??

Great news: #Medicaid covered my #orchi . Just got the bill in the mail that shows that insurance covered it all and that it went through.

Good...I don't regret that one bit. But I do have lingering bottom #dysphoria from the dysphoria noodle.

Which is why I hunkered down and hyperfocused on looking at #vaginoplasty surgeons in the Midwest and narrowed it down to those that take Medicaid. And ascertained (to the best of my ability) their wait time and the reception post-op patients of theirs have had. And I've done the same for #BreastAugmentation surgeons and #FFS surgeons.

Thursday (my next day off besides the weekend) will have me making a call to set up a consultation for a vaginoplasty and for a BA. The hope is that I can get both done over the course of 2026 (with the BA earlier in the year and the vaginoplasty in the late months). Given the longer recovery times for FFS and that I DON'T want the recovery times to overlap, I'll go for that last.

Okay, so I did a dumb. And it's going to need some #TransMutualAid

I assumed my job (Goodwill) would be paying me throughout my recovery period. But they didn't except for the week of the surgery itself. All because I'm part-time and not full-time.

Which means I foolishly blew through the money (not nearly enough) DoorDashing food cravings and (thanks to withdrawing a $100 check to pay some tax stuff to the IRS) I am broke until the next paycheck comes Friday.

I also have the possibility of Medicaid not covering the #orchi surgery I had. And wanting to also slowly save up for vaginioplasty.

Deleting all food apps off phone and setting up some short-term mutual aid sources when I get home before doing a long-term #GoFundMe .

Timelapse time for my #TransitionTimeline

* 1st photo = the moment that I first put on my younger sister's prom dress (after asking her) on a whim, felt a shiver down my spine, looked in the mirror, and realized that that probably meant something. AKA, the moment the #eggcrack happened on 7/11/2023....note that this was just under a month before starting #HRT.
* 2nd = one year later (7/11/2024)...by this point, I've fully-accepted that I am a #transwoman and had been on HRT for 11 months.
* 3rd photo onward = Today, 2 years post-egg crack and nearly 2 years of HRT (7/11/2025)...this entire past year was on injections and I am close to three weeks post- #orchi .

Notice how they're in different rooms (bathroom, bedroom, outside pool area) and the lighting gets progressively shittier. But I've also noticed that the comfier I am with being #trans , the cxntier I am. Maybe one of these days, I'll be super-cxnty with good lighting on a consistent basis.

Safe to say that this dress has sentimental value to me and I'll keep up the tradition for as long as I can fit in the dress.

On a lighter note, the healing process of the #orchi is going smoothly.

But another thing is that in a week from Friday? It'll be two years since my #eggcrack . So be prepared for some storytime on the 11th.

So I've noticed in my recovery isolation post-#orchi that I've been in my emotional feelings a lot more. Sometimes in a #euphoric way, sometimes in a #dysphoric way.

In a group chat the other day with local queers on #Signal , the topic came up of sexual encounters that felt off...

[START OF CW]

I disclosed the story of my first time with a woman, which I thought was completely consensual for the past 11 years (I was 19, she would've been in her early twenties). Apparently was an act of #rape by coercion/deception on her part. At the time, I simply registered as betrayal at the time. I guess that it was betrayal, but it was more than that.

The thing that revokes consent? After the sex, she revealed that she hid a wedding ring in her pocket, that she was cheating on her soon-to-be-hubby, and that she was using me to do so. If I had known ANY of that, I would've turned her down on-the-spot. And then she had the audacity to say that if I told anyone about this, she would file #SA charges...and since I presented 'male' at the time (my #egg would not crack for another 8 years) and had internalized that a woman's word would be valued over a man's in a SA case, I believed that no one would believe me.

I've spent a chunk of the last 48 hours processing that what happened to me was #rape . I have decided I'll be talking this over with my therapist before posting the details on other forms of social media. I'm focusing on healing now and the trauma feels muted yet always there under the surface....and I do wonder if it made my #dysphoria harder to process at the time.

To date, she's the only #ciswoman I've had any #sexual relations with.

Okay, woke up and feel quite a bit less sore around the incision site today than I did yesterday. Sleep, icepacks, and the occasional piankiller are working nicely.

The only things that kept me up a bit late at night? My #dogs begging for water refills right as I'm about to nod off, me switching out between one of my 3 icepacks as one of them stops being cold, and me getting up to have to go pee.

But on the flipside, I was at check-in for the #orchi when the lady behind the counter told me that the #Medicaid (via Healthy Indiana Plan) covering the surgery was still 'pending' and it is possible that they could deny coverage for the surgery.

If it is indeed denied, it is officially time for a GFM to pay off the medical debt.

Keep your eyes peeled for it.

At 8:30 AM on 6/24/2025, I had my #orchi . Yes, I told my anasthesiologist "Do it, no balls!" before they activated the IV.

With this heatwave, I likened the trek to the final stretch to destroy the One Ring (or in this case, my Two Balls) in #LordOfTheRings . In this case, I'd be Frodo, my sister who drove me would be Samwise, my brother and my brother-in-law would complete the Hobbits of the Fellowship, and my IRL trans friends would be the rest of the Fellowship.

But taking it easy with icepacks, comfort food, and responsible usage of painkillers.
