It sucks living in southern United States

One of the major hospitals in Tennessee has stopped providing gender-affirming surgeries for the rest of the year, cutting off access to care entirely. I didn’t realize my surgeon was being forced out rather than leaving by choice, and that realization has been heavy. I still have unfinished medical care, including complications from my vaginoplasty that were caused by my ex, and now I don’t even know if my surgeon will be able to address them. The possibility of having to start over with someone new, potentially in another state, is overwhelming and honestly scary.
