Good for you, I guess. If there options aren’t suitable you don’t have to go there, but for a lot of us its the best option and now its being taken away.
But if I go to BC, I’m probably going to have to wait 2-5 years to get bottom surgery, vs maybe 1 year max if I go to GRS Montreal. I’m almost in my 40’s and don’t want to wait that long.
You’re also required to get a hotel while in Vancouver for your stay (for 2 weeks) in addition to the 1 week in Hospital, which is a huge financial cost if you’re low income like me.
Also not expanding/increasing funding to VGH’s Bottom surgery program is going to make surgical waits which are already very long, balloon into something unsustainable.
This decision is so fucking stupid and as a Trans Person trying to get bottom surgery, I’m pissed off.
