Same, only reason I was able to start transitioning was because of Medicaid. And now, just as I get close to being able to schedule bottom surgery, they're probably going to take it away.
My bottom dysphoria has only gotten worse with time and I've already been pushed to the point of near constant suicidal ideation. I can't stand living without the surgery any longer. No amount of therapy can help that. I feel like a fucking husk.
The only reasons I have for not doing it at this point are spite, given I'd just become another statistic the right wing can weaponize against us, and my partner. I can't stand the thought of hurting them like that and leaving them to deal with everything happening alone.

Medicaid is ran state-by-state, not by the federal government alone. Blue states will protect your right to have it pay for your surgery through litigation (since this is something Congress would have to do), the situation in red states is a bit of an unknown as this point of time (likely to be determined in the courts).
