bottom surgery
I have kinda a tight timeline if I want to put any surgeries on my parents insurance, which I probably do. Also have to hope they're okay with it. or if they aren't I could just do it anyway and pay them back. But with wait times I am actually a bit worried about getting it done in time.Honestly the more I think about all the steps the less I feel like I can get it done in that amount of time

You can do it! It depends on the surgeon or the program, sometimes they want you to be out/on HRT for at least a year. I say sometimes but Im pretty sure its basically always, but I haven't looked at every program in every state in the US and in Canada. It used to be worse, years out as a woman (NO HRT even!!), then years on HRT, then bottom surgery... ugh can you imagine. Still costs a lot thoughspoiler
I can definitely get to a pp fairly soon and start the year timer for hrt, my concern is mostly wait times for surgeons and stuff. I know that can vary a lot and sometimes be super long.Plus I do not understand insurance at all/how that works with it being my parents. Fuck and like just telling them in general. I guess I will probably end up having to come out in the next year or so anyway.
I know it used to be a lot worse, I'm just hoping if I cram it in while I have their insurance it would be cheaper. I hate cis people
bottom surgery tip
Specifically for bottom surgery, what you can do if they mandate the WPATH requirement of a year on HRT, you can go ahead and start hair removal, which significantly shortens the lead time for a surgery date!
