my opinion of the trans comm and the lack of leadership and Caityln Jenner

outside the trans comm activist arena , even in Portland oregon, employers despite a college education discriminate and poverty is very much the core issue...... seems we are driven, like the rest of the glbt comm, to certain jobs. comes down to it do you want a Lesbian or trans woman as the face of your company...... the image of the trans in america is the core issue and Caityln has not helped in this arena..... i think finding human resources director who will work with an organization would be a huge help..... not to mention funding surgery... i am sure 1 percent of their annual budget would not make them less effective... the core issue there is that the trans comm and the rest of the organizations are driving for all to have access... that is great but in the mean time the overall suffering continues..... we have been sold out by the leadership or the lack of leadership in the comm.....

The reality is even the top surgeons who do srs who are transsexuals have sold us out.  i have heard horror stories from the two transsexuals who do the srs in the states. i mean Dr. Bowers who was taught by the pioneer of srs in the states charges 25,000.00 and for a srs with skin graft you are up to 27,500. so otherwise you have be rich or an insurance company has to pay for it.  i mean that is a lot of money and that does not include hotels, meals and loss of income which could last 2-6 mos or longer. the total cost of surgery is really unknown given so much. 

it would be far more cost effective to do what the Australia does and bring in Thailand doctors who are very experienced to train US doctors to do the surgery. There is no way i would allow a doctor who is inexperienced do my surgery. i have heard nightmares from EU where state funded surgery has ended in such things as patients with bags to urinate in bc of surgeries gone bad. 

I hope to one day , like next yr, do a skype feed of my surgery and after that set up an organization to fund other people that need the surgery. this situation should have never existed but it does.. how damn sad
