  • I just had mine removed like 3 months ago. I’ll answer your questions in order.

    I asked my doctor about it and he recommended me some in network surgeons, so finding a place to do it was easy.

    For recovery I remember laying in bed for like 4 days before I got a bit more active. I could manage pain just fine with otc meds. A lot of my pain I think was nerve pain, which I felt moreso in my inner upper thighs rather than my groin and I found that using an ice pack helped a lot. I felt a lot better after just one week, but I did still have to take it easy with activity for about 6 to 8 weeks.

    I do have extra skin. If you want to get a vaginoplasty in the future, you should leave it since they will use that skin. I imagine that you could get it removed if you want though.

    Mine was around $24,000 without insurance. I’m on my parents insurance still, and my Mom had a surgery that maxed it out, so I was very fortunately fully covered and paid nothing. The surgery itself was $20,000 but then you have things like anesthesia, getting the letters, the consult, and pre and post op appointments.

    After the procedure they gave me pain meds and a laxative. Didn’t really need the pain meds and I used the laxative for like a week. I also have stopped my T blocker since, which is nice.





  • Like dandelion mentioned, those cramps are probably female gut pain. I get them occasionally too ever since I started taking e. For a long time I didn’t really know what it was and I assumed it was part of PMS but I get them pretty inconsistently so idk.

    And even though we can’t get uterine cramps it is still possible to have other PMS symptoms. I get breast tenderness and libido changes pretty consistently and sometimes other things on a monthly cycle and idk what else that would be other than PMS.

    Also there was just a fox outside my window and it shrieked and scared the shit out of me.





  • While Debian is my preferred distro, I wouldn’t reccomend it to others unless they are techy and don’t mind fiddling with things. I absolutely wouldn’t reccomend it to my grandma (I would reccomend her Mint though) and probably not to someone who just wants to play games, especially if they have an Nvidia card. I do game on Debian with a 3060, but it was cumbersome getting stuff working properly because of old drivers. I did get it working, but I think most people just want to play their games and not deal with that. I also have a nearly 10 year old laptop with Debian, and since it’s so old, everything does, “just work”, but I imagine most people aren’t also using the same 10 year old laptop.






  • There are good people and bad people in every country. Yes, the US government is bad. Yes, the Russian government is bad. That does not mean every person in those countries are also bad.

    There are people in Russia trying their best to resist Putin. People risk their lives doing that and people have died doing that.

    There are also people here in the US doing their best to resist fascism. Here too, people have died doing that.

    It is unreasonable to expect every American to oppose fascism, just like it is unreasonable to expect that of every Greenlander. Remember there is a small percentage of Greenlanders who do support Trump.

    Opposing fascism is difficult, dangerous, and slow. It takes a long time for change to happen. Think about all the bad governments out there. I’m sure that for each one you can find resistance to them that has been around for a long time.

    So if the situation was flipped, would you want us to make a post complaining about Greenlanders apologizing?




  • I graduated college last year and I’m still in unemployment hell. I have a CS degree so now I’m too overqualified for retail and too underqualified for tech jobs, despite the fact that I have made numerous projects and have tried my best to upskill, I’m still not good enough apparently. It is super frustrating and demotivating to wake up to rejection emails month after month after month.
