Decisions

I have been struggling with a heavy decision in my life.

OnyxRose: Presence Not Permission

My dear friend Binah is lead plantiff in a lawsuit against Aetna for denying her gender affirming facial surgery mandated under the ACA. The lawsuit, filed this week, seeks class action status.

I don't understand the details, but if you've been affected by Aetna's denial of health care for FFS you may be able to join the lawsuit (there's a contact form on the law firm's page https://www.cohenmilstein.com/case-study/aetna-gender-affirming-surgery-facial-litigation/)

A different sort of entry for #transvoicefriday this time. I went in for #facialfeminizationsurgery a week ago; this is where my voice is now. (It was actually much worse earlier in the week!) In summary, things like intubation and tracheal shaving leave a lot of bruising that needs to heal. So... give it time to heal.  β€‹

Question for #transMastodon (#transTodon ?):

Were any of you able to get a #deviatedSeptum fixed while getting #facialFeminizationSurgery ? I have one that makes me #snore and I am wondering if it's possible to just get them both fixed at once.

I hate leaving the house without makeup but I got an appointment to get my facial hair zapped this afternoon. I'm also excited about getting my shit together for #facialfeminizationsurgery.

It's not like it's particularly big and I'm blind without glasses and prefer larger styles of frames.
