And then, in 2019, she was diagnosed with cancer.
Over the years that followed, Ms. Capasso was on two medical journeys: one, at Memorial Sloan Kettering, to keep death at bay; the other, with a plastic surgeon’s help, to look more feminine. Starting in 2021, she underwent a half-dozen procedures to feminize her face.
We're calling them procedures now? Michael Jackson died too young, now he could call his nosejobs and skin replacement "procedures'.
Her brow ridge was sanded down. Her orbital bone was shaved to give her eyes an upward tilt. Her square chin was softened. There were cheek implants. Changes to her nose, too.
“I needed radical surgical intervention,” she said. And she wanted it fast. The clock was ticking, maybe not for much longer.
“I wasn’t going to die looking like the way I looked, especially getting treated the way I was getting treated,” she said. “Like, not a chance.” She had decided on an open-casket funeral.
“I was going to be a pretty corpse,” she said.
Is this narcissism? Quite possibly one of the weirdest things I've ever heard. It's as if they want to transgress even in death.
The main story is equally insane. This guy recorded the surgeons and he discovered they said he had "male genitals" and complaining about the inaccurate information they were provided. Now he's suing them.
I don't know if this guy was diagnosed before or after trooning out, but I would not be surprised at all if a lot of the trans types end up dying of cancer if they don't kill themselves. Treating your body that way puts it under constant stress.
Then again, there are addicts and alcoholics who abused their bodies for decades and lived to a ripe old age, so--like with everything else--genetics will probably be mostly responsible for outcomes.
