Like the Doctor literally called me in and I just realized my biomom had been welcomed in behind me And I was too uncomfortable to be like "hey, isn't this fucked up?" Like I just wanted my goddamn surgery and didn't want to ruin my trip fighting with my crazy biomom

She—I can't even believe I'm typing this even six years later—completely centered herself during my in-person surgical consult that I'd paid for with my money that I'd earned from six years of suffering I couldn't get a word in edgewise, she just talked and talked and talked

First she tried to argue with the surgeon that I didn't NEED surgery, to which he calmly and patiently told her that he was very skilled at this and produced great results and it would look very natural. Then she demanded to know why he couldn't just make me look more like her

And part of the answer she got was in Spanish so yeah that was great literally hearing people talk about me in a language I didn't speak during MY surgical consult about the part of me that is the absolute most critical to human identity I don't know what he told her

And then she flirted with him in front of me. Mind you I didn't think it was flirting in the moment but yeah I don't know why she would have suddenly taken a casual interest in whether my surgeon was ethnically Italian She was totally doing her schmoozing thing

At the end of the consult my surgeon remarked that I "really didn't need much work to be beautiful" and that I was lucky because "it's very uncommon for the women [he] treat[s] to have so much support from their mothers" In hindsight it's a miracle I didn't lose my shit

We went into the city over the weekend to tour the Casa Rosada (which was fine) and then on the following Monday I had my surgery and of course she came along The surgery went ok except that I woke up towards the end and cut up my mouth really bad chomping on the breathing tube

I stayed at the clinic overnight, observed by a nurse practitioner, so I didn't know what happened next until a few months later when a trans friend getting FFS in Illinois asked me to sit in on HER consult, and I texted my biomom later about thinking _her_ surgeon had been a pig

And she was like "well yours hadn't been so much better" I asked her what she meant by that She said something like "Well after your surgery I needed to get back to the rented apartment and he offered to drive me there himself, clearly thinking that we were going to have sex"

And I just found myself sitting there in a deep existential crisis Wondering if my surgeon hadn't altered his performance to my mom's specifications, somehow, in anticipation of getting fucked by her in gratitude

For what it's worth I don't think that's especially likely
