I do have a delightful update in regards this my ongoing fundraising campaign. I have received my first donation! While it's a far cry from being able to afford the entire procedure, this funding will allow me visit the surgeon of this life-changing procedure for me, get a full consultation, and have an accurate cost estimate for the future; whether it be self-funded by finding a means of employment, taking on a loan, or being able to successfully source funding through GFM. It has ignited a feeling of hope in me that somehow this will work out.
VentingNot doing great emotionally. Got a Dr. Appointment tomorrow with my PCP to discuss potential options and outreach for my ongoing medical needs but I have virtually zero confidence that it will lead to meaningful change. Kinda going through another spiral to be honest... Feeling terrible... It's crazy how to some rich assholes $25k is chump change to them but to me it would be life changing yet I can't get anyone who could potentially help to give me the time of day. I feel like I'm being crushed under the weight of my own desperation. Fuck this horrid hellscape known as America, fuck the doctor who mutilated me and scarred me for life, and fuck my parents for consenting to it; going as far as to expressly carry me off to a clinic to have it done.
@REB000000b very true. I did get into contact with their office and was able to be quoted for around 15-25,000 with a $50 security deposit and $345 consult fee. I'm currently saving up for the consult and I'll see what my options are for loans afterwards. It's gonna suck having to take on debt for this, but I want it that badly I'm considering it.
@Gruenschnabel yeah, it's something a kid typically has in some fashion up until 12-16 before medical intervention is recommended. It's why for me as someone who's fursona is a toddler cub, it was never seen as a kink to me but more as just an extension of having age-accurate naughty bits
"I still don't get how anyone finds phimosis attractive"
Holy shit all I did was post an art piece of my fursona in the group chat it's not that serious. Why are you asking me to justify my taste in fictional furry kid penis that I selfinsert as? Like ????
I'll never not be amazed at the cognitive dissonance of my fellow americans decrying the tattooing of a child, one consenting no less according to the article, but then turn a cultural blind eye to mutilating a child's genitals against their own consent as some enshrined protected right. absolute lunacy. fucking circus of a failed nation istg
