Come to MN. Everyone's is at least patially covered by insurance. Mine will be fully covered.

But yeah parking somewhere I can't to get an orchi isn't the worst thing I considered when I was dealing with dysphoria and capotalism in TX. A "Free" emergency surgery that was guaranteed to need them removed, but not risk worse was looking prettttty good, and on the worst days was not even a joke.

Texas is a 3rd world state with its citizens convinced they're the not even an average state, but the best... and the worst culture shock I've had is the surprise at how much I just took as normal.

Might just do that :P

Orchi is probably my first surgical step.
