swisschris62 0 #52 August 24, 2013 My brother in law got back to me. He supervises work crews at the federal prison in Oregon. It's his understanding that if they were getting estrogen before they went to prison that they continue to give it to them while they are locked up. In 22 years he never heard of someone getting the surgery to complete the job while they were still locked up. The rest of what he had to say about it ill keep between him and myself... Maybe because its military it'll be different. If its so important to get this done maybe the tranny community can come together and raise the money to pay for it, including transportation costs to a hospital, US Marshal escort fees etc. if this was so all important and he's been knowing about it since he was a kid maybe he should have chosen to become a girl instead of going into the military and doing what he did. Ill put my money on him NOT getting this surgery till he can do it on his own time and dime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #53 August 24, 2013 I hope, you're right. I'd like to see my tax dollars go to something better than that little shit's sex change. I think, the kid is about a brick shy of a full load. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swisschris62 0 #56 August 24, 2013 Here's a run down of the cost of this surgery. It's hard to understand why anyone would think he should be entitled to this or expect someone else to pick up the tab. I say if he wants to call himself a girl, let him...as long as he can accept that he's going to be a flat chested girl with cock. This is what I came up with when I googled the cost of this surgery... "First, let's talk about TRANSITION (aka "sex change"). Transition is a long, expensive, medically monitored process that takes years to complete. Nobody transitions overnight or by one operation. For example my transition took 4.5 years and about $80,000. If you are serious the first step is seeing a gender therapist: http://www.DrBecky.com/therapists.html There are a lot of expenses involved with transition. Dozens of therapy sessions @ $100-150 a pop. Facial hair removal. You're lucky, at your age you don't have much. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) that you have to take for life. Endocrinologist appointments and lab work. Figure $500 per visit. New wardrobe. Various surgeries depending on what you need: Facial Feminization Sugery (FFS) can run $20-45k Breat Augmentation Surgery (BAS) can run $6-9k Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) can run anywhere from $10-27k Legal costs (name change and birth certificate) And we haven't mentioned the many other costs you'll pay: Loss of family Loss of friends Probable loss of employment and more."

masterrig 1 #57 August 24, 2013 I'd imagine too, all those folks involved will have a way of milking more out of it if the tax-payers are footin' the bill. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
