    Thank you for sharing that Kate. Its been nice to keep tabs on your journey as i've been a follower since Calgary... wow, it's been that long ago already?! Hasn't been easy for sure, but you are an inspiration for me and now even more so as consider these surgeries. 💙 keep on keeping on!
    ((Gods, i cant believe the idiots that make irrelevant comments here - wasting their time and proudly showing their ignorance - you are so patient.))

    the difference in health care in canada vs the usa is INSANE. it’s amazing you can access the surgeries you need for basically free. i was in the hospital for a lil over a week when i detoxed. n i have great insurance MOST of it was covered. it still cost me thousands. you look amazing and i’m SO happy to hear you had a quick recovery ! i’ve definitely heard some breast augmentation horror stories ! just go off continue this glow up 🥰

      Hey there, yes, there are significant differences with regards to our system of universal and single payer healthcare. It's not really free as compared to the US but, rather, we pay higher taxes. I will take the longer waits for no deductibles and no threat of making health decisions based on financial capacity. I hope it gets easier there.

    I have not been keeping up with your news enough! I'm glad that you were able to get that, especially when it's a surprise that they came back to you like that actually offering where they had previously refused!
    I hope you enjoy them, look and feel-wise, and I hope the feeling comes back to them soon!

    So happy that you were able to get the care and procedure you wanted/needed. I am having a lift and BA in a month. While excited, I am concerned that I am going to feel bigger overall. I understand that clothing choices and what fits my body will help with that, but I am curious if you had worried about that prior to surgery or had any of those feelings since. It is already part of my dysphoria, so I am sure it’s not an issue for many women. Did your surgeon recommend massage or anything besides wearing the provided surgical bra? I have read about different experiences in post-care instructions, and I’m curious if you had any specific recommendations.

      My shoulders do feel more broad now and it was something I was expecting but the swelling is going down day by day still.
      My Surgeon gave me pages of instructions and each surgeon might have different instructions so be sure to follow any direction that you are given.

    Congratulations on your successful surgery. You look fantastic!
    Trans care in BC is a bit hit and miss. For trans-specific care and procedures (gender-affirming surgery, etc.) it is pretty good, but for all other health care for trans people (routine health care that is not specifically related to being trans) it's very hit and miss, and entirely depends on where you are in the province and what your access is to care providers who are trans-informed and experienced with providing gender-affirming health care. Vancouver is fantastic of course - there are a lot of trans-friendly health care providers, and plenty of organizations who offer support as well, for trans people who are experiencing any difficulty. But it's not like that everywhere in the province.
    Even 20 minutes outside of the city, access to gender-informed, gender-affirming health care becomes extremely difficult, and support orgs for trans adults are basically nonexistent. The expectation is that everyone will travel to Vancouver to access those things, but that's not realistic for everyone, and depending on which health authority you fall under it can even be impossible to do so.
    Trans Care BC has lists of providers that can be accessed, it's true - but it might surprise some people to hear that those lists consist of providers who have expressed a willingness to work with trans patients. It does not reflect any actual experience or training in dealing with trans patients. In my experience, most providers from those lists have no idea how to deal with even the most basic interactions with trans people - asking for pronouns, ensuring chosen name is always used, understanding concepts like assigned gender vs gender identity, etc. (the latter is especially totally misunderstood and providers frequently get extremely confused about how to provide care for someone assigned one gender at birth, but presenting or identifying as another).
    I've at times been very cynical about the Trans Care BC lists, and felt that some providers sign on there in order to get another revenue stream, another way to get new patients because some of the people I've seen who were cleared through those lists were actually transphobic.
    And it might also interest people to know that there is no mechanism within Trans Care BC for patients to leave feedback about providers, or give any kind of review or recommendation.
    All this to say - YMMV with trans care in this province.

      Thank you for sharing. BC is a big place and someone's experience in Fort St. John, Campbell River or Nelson will be different when compared to someone in Vancouver. Family healthcare for the average British Columbian is almost non-existent and for Trans people is challenging at the best of times e.g. broken arm syndrome.
      My appreciation for TransCare is mostly driven from my experience of having started my transition in Alberta and spending a lot time trying to figure out the system on my own or with friends.
      The lack of a Trans specific organization providing support and organization in BC is glaring especially when you consider that Victoria, per Stats Can, is one of the most gender diverse cities in the countries and BC has the highest number per capita.
      Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective.

    For a taller girl like me, "what fits" was on my list even prior to day one!

    are you woke, why do you fly the woke flag. im trans too but im not woke

    • @KateMadden

      What does that even mean?

    • @davinadavina1331

      ​@@KateMadden look according to the system woke is democrat anti republican. the woke flag is any flag that is not accepted by law of somewhere. base is a republican anti democrat. i'm learning too and i learned these things from both sides of social construct. i find that our reality is divided in half with a few stragglers that don't follow this reality. there are also not as fanatical people in each half of the society. a lot want it their way and reject the other half's way. like the right half won't accept the many genders. and the left half don't accept the right half's logic. flying a dominant flag in this war means you are one of these people. i've been called a democrat by republicans because i support the president. i've been called a republican by democrats because i don't think there is anything wrong with who republicans support. i was trans before it became popular, meaning i started my transition, publicly, medically and also socially more than 10 years ago, i was crossdressing and going out secretly since the early 1980's. but i support the truth as logic puts it.

      Your reply is mostly incomprehensible and imbecilic. Please don't project your American cultural values and politics onto me, I am not American.
