      My wife tells me constantly about her patients and this reads like a backstory for some of them no problem. So many people with so many fucked up lives…
      Being only an underachiever feels like a blessing in comparison.

    I honestly don’t get why you would prioritise a “top surgery” (whatever that is, sounds like something cosmetic) over a surgery to regain your mobility though?

      They are female to male so top surgery is breast removal, technically cosmetic but vital for mental health. Whether they were able to get a mobility surgery and chose not to I don’t know.

        Yeah when it’s a question of mentally being able to do things or physically (especially when you don’t yet feel the immediate need to do physical things), it can be easy to prioritize the mental.
