    Elon figures it didn’t work as a billionaire, but it will definitely work as a trillionaire, because any problem can be solved with money.

    Michael Phillips said online on Thursday that he needed the procedure to improve his ability to urinate, which is difficult for him given that he is reportedly 0.38in (0.97cm) long when fully erect. Otherwise, he said he must continue to wear diapers for adults with incontinence every day.

    This is a compelling reason. Let’s help the guy out. Donated.

    Joking aside, what a rotten bit of genetic luck with which to get saddled. Best of luck, guy.

    It’s disgusting that Hasan the millionaire isn’t just using his own money for this.

    I kinda feel for the guy. That’s a really unfortunate situation. He says it’s the size of a pinky finger nail. It’s gotta be hard for him to go to the bathroom, which he says is why he wants it enlarged.

        This is actually a great example of how the majority of ‘gender affirming care’ is actually for a person who is already assigned at birth the gender they are affirming.

        This male, who was assigned male at birth, is seeking gender affirming care to become… more male.

          He doesn’t need anyone to “affirm” shit, he wants to be able to take a piss.

            And women who get breast implants after receiving a double mastectomy are simply restoring their body back to what it was, neither affirming or changing but rather ‘restoring’ the appearance. The category of operations received is still called gender affirming.

            Anything that is manipulating the body more in line with the perceived gender is called gender affirming care.

            And it doesn’t even need to be surgeries. Men with low T receiving testosterone shots is a form of gender affirming care.

            And yes, I read the article.

            It’s still under the umbrella of gender affirming care, as are men getting breast reduction surgery or hair replacement. If you’re implying it needs to be for sex, then I don’t think you understand gender very well.

    I commend him for publicly talking about it. I also commend him on his ability to admit his poor behavior. I genuinely hope he gets what he wants from this experience.

    I think he should bring this before congress so they can add it to the list of medicare disabilities.
