My biggest concern was my birth control being outlawed because that would have the biggest impact on my daily life, but I just got approved for a hysterectomy so that worry is gone. My surgeon told me that I won't have any trouble getting the procedure done and hinted that she knows how to play the system. I'm having the procedure in the summer, so I just gotta wait at this point. I'll get an exact date next week.

Now my biggest fear (other than me existing as a gay woman in a very red area) is that my student loan payments, even with the SAVE plan, will be too much for me to afford.
