I've never been dewormed, but I'll take it if it means no more periods!

Beats me, i'm just glad they're not caused by the deworming process... sounds ruff

Park illegally and we’ll castrate you

Sounds cheaper than current surgical options 😁

Come to MN. Everyone's is at least patially covered by insurance. Mine will be fully covered.

But yeah parking somewhere I can't to get an orchi isn't the worst thing I considered when I was dealing with dysphoria and capotalism in TX. A "Free" emergency surgery that was guaranteed to need them removed, but not risk worse was looking prettttty good, and on the worst days was not even a joke.

Texas is a 3rd world state with its citizens convinced they're the not even an average state, but the best... and the worst culture shock I've had is the surprise at how much I just took as normal.

Might just do that :P

Orchi is probably my first surgical step.

Anesthesia does not appear to be included.
