Dear Michele, You were wise to bring many sanitary napkins with you to the hospital. Also recommend women bring their own Chux pads to protect them from overflow onto their bedding. Am looking forward to the time when transwomen can adopt. Cisgender Lesbians and Gaymales have an excellent record when it comes to having children. Not many cisgender Straight males have had children, but the few who do, have an excellent track record. Looking forward to when transwomen can adopt children. Am sure transmen will also have an excellent track record when adopting or having children. There are so many children waiting to be adopted! Please don't give up hope. Hoping you continue healing. Am a cancer survivor of 17 years myself (uterine cancer). Sending love and prayers your way. Yours truly, Monica
