TULSA, OK–Local trans guy Matt Theman laments the Omicron surge in his area and around the world as only he can. “Of course it’s awful, and needs to end, if for no other reason but that I need to have top surgery.”
“Like, when ever I see idiots without masks, I want to scream at them, you’re the reason my mastectomy got cancelled! You’re clogging up or hospitals till they’re overloaded because you can’t handle a fucking piece of cloth on your face or a couple of injections of a vaccine!”
“I mean, this anti-vaccine shit is ridiculous. Just admit you’re afraid of needles and get over it! I have to inject myself weekly with testosterone and I don’t complain!”
“How would you feel if you were a dude cursed with a massive chest who waited so long to get insurance and the savings and the letters from medical professionals only to be stopped because half the country thinks doing easy, basic things to avoid a freaking PANDEMIC is hurting their freedom?”
“And, like, part of me feels bad for feeling bad about myself, because it’s everyone who’s suffering in this. I have a friend who was supposed to have what should be a simple eye surgery delayed by 3 months by this shit, so now we’re worried about his eyes in the meantime.”
“I’m trying not to think about my own problems too much right now, for sure, but it’s hard to ignore my chest when I keep getting ‘boob-rashes’ because I refuse to buy newer binders. It’s awful. I wish all the dudes in my area who can’t wear a fucking face mask or avoid going to concerts gets boob rashes. It’s what they deserve.”
