Kaiser, like other managed care corporations have a huge range of plans, all plans do not cover all things.  You should check the one you are on.

I'll try to find out where I heard the story. But man, I'm doubting it now...

I'd be okay with the pump if it wasn't so socially awkward... It can very quickly ruin the mood.

Yeah. Although, even though it's a name men can have, you can still change it if you don't feel it suits you. I know a guy who was named Alex but chose a different name. Isn't there a guy like that on these forums too?

Yes. It makes me think of Dave Chappelle in "Men In Tights", stopping to pump his sneakers.. what's wrong with me? 

It's an open consideration, yeah. I'm fairly sure my name's staying though.

And yeah, I'm sure we have a guy like that somewhere.. Brady's name used to be Alex, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, Brady. Or anyone who knows better.

Although, I also find ejaculation quite erotic. But we can't have everything we want.

Yeah. It'd be cool, but as long as I could feel it, I wouldn't mind not having the ejaculation. It sounds as though it would be complicated, if even possible.

This whole conversation is fascinating, true or not.

In a near-perfect world, I'd have a penis transplant. Maybe I can strive to be one of the first transmen to do it. I understand rejection risks, but people with transplanted kidneys can live a really long time. They just have to remember to take their medication. I won't be forgetting that, since I'm on medication already and I've got taking it down.

In a perfect world, we'd be able to use my own stem cells to grow a penis matching my genetic composition, and thus there would be no risk of rejection... but that probably won't happen in my life time... even though I know it's possible.

I went to a counselor at my school free or charge and have been seeing her regularly. She referred me to a doctor that works on campus and specializes in transgender people on our first visit. I saw him the next week and he prescribed me hormones on the very first visit. All free, so rather nice. The hormones I can afford as a poor college student (spiro is the only semi-expensive one). Surgery...ha. That is going to have to wait a long while for me at least.
