Morning coffee chat, any topic:

[oldguy]

Had a long talk with my intrusive neighbour this afternoon explaining to him that “setting everyone straight” about my gender wasn’t appreciated in the least.

Also, I am intersex so I don’t fit neatly in either of the two genders.

He didn’t listen in the least saying, “there only exists two genders and everything else is a “leftist lie” just ask the President. He got quite upset saying “hermaphrodites don’t exist” and are make believe. All lies and he won’t put up with freaks like me in Texas. He won’t allow me to pull the wool over neighbours eyes and will expose me every chance he gets.

Like talking to a wall. 🙄

I did not realize that you were a Hermaphrodite.  I read about it while researching Gynecomastia.  I believe it is very rare, so understand the issues you are dealing with.  I hope you do well in Oregon and hope you have a lot of money.  That state is struggling with a large migrant influx and social services are struggling.  OHA is basically broke.

The centre provides compression socks under my insurance. I have been buying compression stockings instead because the socks make my knee swell up and I can’t bend my knee. I tried thigh high but the elastic doesn’t hold up long and they roll down.

I requested a change in my order for the compression stockings\pantyhose I’m buying as it would save me money.

Today’s meeting with staff basically stated that compression “pantyhose” cant be approved because of “gender” issues.

I’m welcome to keep buying them and wearing them but they won’t "enable" me to continue to do so.

The meeting was in private because she said, “this is an embarrassing matter."

Just had a pharmacist discontinue & cancel my low dose estrogen patch prescription because I am a male. It’s for osteoporosis prophylaxis. The dumbass probably thinks it’s for a DIY transition, but the dosages for that would be several orders of magnitude more for that. WA Sate is going off the rails and parking itself on the California siding. Not happy here, selling the house I love & moving to Tennessee.
The new Governor is going bat$h!t crazy raising taxes. The town we live in went from a budget surplus to massive debt in shot order. 
I get your frustration, Birdie.

It's frustrating indeed!

It's two separate issues though, isn't it. I genuinely wish you well with your move and I hope you find happiness there, but moving from a blue to a red state will make your 'choice' of medications even harder to procure! May as well be under martial law!

I don't know much about your tax systems over there but I get the feeling that every state is different. Sounds messy.

Texas has a "low cost of living" (red state), but the services provided are skewed accordingly. My doctor here also thought "birth control pills" might be beneficial and combating hot flashes and night sweats and hormone levels, but later decided against it saying, "let's let nature take its course."

I have seen three psychiatrists now about gender dysphoria ordered by my doctor. Just Thursday my appointment went in the direction of a double mastectomy and detransitioning. I explained to the lady that I have had boobs since puberty, along with  wide birthing hips. I was born this way and God doesn't make mistakes. If she were to read my medical records she would find that I'm intersex and I have PMDS. I have a uterus just like she does it's just mine is floating inside of me without being connected to anything other than the fallopian tubes. So just what would I be detransitioning from? She stated that I should strive to fit into society better for my own well being.

Acceptance in this medical program basically means you accept one of the two boxes. Being in between just doesn't work.

Acceptance for me is accepting how I was born and accepting exactly the way I am and living the life I feel fits me best. If that means long hair, cute clothes, and sexy bras, then so be it.

I'm not very well liked in this medical daycare, and they really can't wait for me to move and are assisting me in making it happen.

I'm already expecting my cost of living to go up in Oregon, and that's okay. But at least Oregon will be more accepting.
