Sometimes I’m not real certain that I qualify as human as my species. I know, realistically, that I am, but I’m only about 2 days without shaving, and maybe some breast binding from being qualified as a drag king... my endocrine system is so far off of “normal” but as a US citizen, I’m at a loss on how to pay for all the expensive tests it would take to get it under control.my annual deductible is 2k, then only 80/20 coverage...
I work a good job, as does my SO. Our combined salaries put us above assistance, but our monthly bills put this kind of “elective” testing out of reach. My healthcare (lol healthdoesntcare) coverage considers this to be optional testing, since female facial hair is considered a cosmetic issue. I received several referrals to dermatologists who weren’t even within my plan... they would have been 100% my bill.
