Please take the time to read the following statement
My first and foremost motivation is respect for transsexual
Men. Many – if not all- of us, have had extremely negative experiences with the
medical profession. For this reason, I choose to keep this project independent
from the medical industry*
I want the prosthetic to be as accessible as possible. I have set the price to cover business costs, production costs, and my work time, but not to go through an official process dictated by an outside company.
I understand and support prosthetics being funded through medical insurance, but there is no reason for them to have any involvement beyond funding.
For those of you who choose to ask your
insurance company to pay for tyron2-prosthetics, please keep in mind that no
doctor hospital or insurance company needs to see or touch a prosthetic in
order to decide whether or not it would be good for your health.
*I have from the start, sought and appreciated technical help from other and more widely experienced prosthetics makers.
