12:16 Question of the Week

" I'm a postop MTF of five years and I have two questions... one -- why doesn't anyone want to hear about the negative side of surgery? When I had problems with my surgery, I tried to find answers. There wasn't any. I could not find any information on the Web, even my surgeon was not interested. It is like nobody ever had problems after surgery before. Cookie-cutter approach I guess. Currently, the city I live in is concerned about considering a bathroom ordinances, even the members on this panel that I know, are not interested. I don't get it. Why do I make a big deal over it? Because I am damaged for life because of the discrimination and negligence from my job, and what it has cost me. I lost my surgery... $17,000 down the drain... can never have a normal relationship... and I'm still in pain five years later. No big deal. So I guess my second question is, should I just get over it? "
