yeah.

it would require some paperwork, but the doctor was a liar that was clearly just trying to avoid the topic. and, i don't have the time or interest to push back: i'm just going to ask to see another urologist. and then another. and another. until i find one that will do it...

orchidectomy is clearly listed in the approved procedures. gender dysphoria is signed off by three doctors on my disability papers (2015), but i could just as easily get my gp and the specialist to do it - that's not a substantial hurdle. i suppose the ministry could be stupid about it, but that's a different issue altogether.

so: the doctor was lying. he's probably actually just a no good fucking christian, and operating on a basic concept of religious patriarchy. and, you wonder why i'm constantly pushing back against the so-called left's permissiveness towards religious backwardsness?

it's clearly listed. he's clearly full of shit. i should go after him. i have better things to do...

this is still happening, it just might be a little slower. and, i'll be sure to print that page off for future reference.
