In Canada, it’s absolute insanity how funding for trans-affirming care can vary so much depending on what province you live in… I’m from Manitoba, but I live in BC 11 months out of the year now. Here’s what I did: I finally switched over to BC healthcare which FULLY covers surgery and there is WAY less medical gatekeeping involved under Trans Care BC. I remember being younger and looking into the process of getting a radical chest reduction in Manitoba because I hated my chest so much (even before I realized I was nonbinary) and there were so many financial/physical barriers to have it covered by the provincial government (diagnosis of gender dysphoria by a psychiatrist amongst other things, only able to be done in Winnipeg but I live in a smaller city a few hours away) but here in BC all you need is your doctor or a counsellor involved to just say “yeah, they want the surgery”.
I recently got in contact with the Catherine Holman White Wellness Centre, an organization based out of Vancouver that does surgery readiness assessments and I am SOOOO extremely grateful for the help I’ve received so far. I had my assessment with someone from that organization yesterday and it was a lovely 30 something year-old nonbinary transmasc person who was so affirming and understanding. They’re putting me in contact with a trans-affirming doctor at my university and if all goes to plan I should have the surgery before the end of next year once I get all my ducks in a row.
I’m also on a waitlist with the same organization for a proper ADHD assessment that would cost me no money! I fit the criteria and have been taking ADHD medication prescribed by my family doctor in MB since June and it’s been extremely helpful for me but I don’t have an official diagnosis due to MORE financial/physical barriers in Manitoba ($3k for an assessment that would take place, once again, in Winnipeg — or wait for years on the public waitlist) so hopefully having a diagnosis will make it easier for me to go to any doctor in BC and get an updated prescription (while I am on the waitlist to get a primary care provider).
So, although there is some huge discrepancies from province to province, I’m very lucky that I live in one where it is easy to access transitionary medical procedures and I hope to see other provinces follow suit ASAP!!!

sometimes i remember the hunger games and how nobody actually paid attention to what was in those books
#americans close your eyes and ears right now#i'm well aware that my political takes are way too spicy for you all#and i really do wish my media diet didn't contain so much us-centric shit#but alas we're all suffering here#and i could say that 'oh actually it does matter who your president is for us in the world'#but it doesn't. it really fucking doesn't. that's kind of the point.#oh i'm sorry my spicy takes are already starting#anyway it is wild that you all can understand katniss assassinating coin at the end of mockingjay#but get super upsetty that chappell roan won't support your favorite presidential candidate with her full chest#like come on none of you actually thought that her using the phrase both sides meant that she was a republican or even a centrist#that's just copium#you all knew exactly what she meant#but i guess encouraging people to think critically and get involved with their local elections and politics as well is... bad now?#also... why do you all care so much about a random pop star's opinion and whether or not she dares to criticize a government#like... she's right but i'm sure 5 years from now if she survives in the limelight her edges will be completely chipped away#by all this insane reaction#and before anyone comes for me... no i'm not saying you shouldn't vote. please fucking do.#neither am i saying you shouldn't vote strategically or encourage other people to do so#but if all your energy is spent policing people who criticize your chosen party because of their own principles#then there's something seriously wrong with your politics#and all you're signalling is that you truly do not fucking care about the issues that they care about#if anything..... you RESENT them#and then the same people bring up the parable of the 'unjust man'#or how it's never the right time to talk about gun violence in your country#harm reduction is all good and based but attacking people who are leveraging their support to push your party left#is not. it's not even fucking helpful#anyway. don't base your lives and politics around pop stars.#even if they are more based than you 🤷#i think i'm done now thank you tumblr for letting me have insane rants in my tags that hopefully no one reads#idk i just find this all depressing. i wish you all cared more about the world outside of your bubble. i wish we all did - myself included.

Instead of telling trans girls “nooo you don’t want big breasts you’ll get back pain!!!” literally just consider like any other advice, you know what helps with the back pain? having well developed upper back & chest muscles & strength in that area to support the weight, having a balanced diet rich in protein & fat, having access to well fitting supportive bras and clothing that don’t cause pain to the ribs, chest & back.
it’s a dual reaction to me of transmisogynistic & fatphobic fixation. Shut your mouth or drop some cash in a trans girls venmo because i know first hand how expensive bras get as you grow & she deserves comfort over your bullshit.

i follow some fitness girlies on ig, mainly sticking to bigger bodied babes for inspiration since they're more relatable, but i can't help but notice that even the fat fit girlies are small-chested. and. i won't lie i'm fully a hater about it. watching them do their workouts in their cute little sports bras that would do nothing for me. they promote all these workout gear but i can never look to them for the one thing i truly need: a sports bra i can safely do jumping jacks in

I‘m transneutral-transmasc but I don’t want a complete mastec, I think
I think I’d be happy if I was down to B cups because then I could bind or show cleavage as I please
Idk if a breast reduction would be covered under the legalities of being trans though or if I had to go through pretending I’m a ciswoman

realizing that big boobs are the reason why i have so much back pain immediately destroyed the acceptance i spent years working on about how my chest looks. lol
