FTM New York

Hi all, I'm looking to touch base with someone who has had a meta with Miro. Hopefully someone who had surgery with him when he was in NYC earlier this year. Thanks!

Hi guys! My friend is looking for a doctor who takes Fallon Select Health Insurance. He lives in MA but is willing to travel. Does anyone know of doctors that take Fallon Select Health Insurance for Top Surgery. When he called the insurance, the person told him me needs codes. To get codes, he needs a surgeon.

My partner is a 36D and claustrophobic. Any recommendations for binders that fit someone that size and have hook closures rather than going on over the head? I have a full-torso one that I love, but my partner can barely watch me pull it over my head because it looks so confining, so that's really not an option for them. We'd prefer to buy from a local shop but are willing to mail-order if that's the only option.

Hi all. I'm about to switch insurance from GHI to Oxford Freedom. I've been on hormones for over two years and I'm post top surgery. I'm not looking to have any more surgeries at this time. I had Oxford at the beginning of my transition and they did cover my T when I was listed as female on insurance. I'm at a new job and trying to figure out which gender makes sense for my health insurance. Ideally my pap/pelvic every 3 years will be covered. I'm not sure if Oxford is trans-friendly. So I'm reaching out. Thoughts? Thanks!

So, I have every document changed except that my NYC birth certificate still says F. I live out of state, so I've only been able to follow lawsuits against the city's Health Dept from a distance, but I know that a judge ruled against them last year.
Does anyone know if there have been changes made to the Health Dept's procedures for changing the gender marker yet? I haven't been able to find anything online.
