wouldn't that leave you dangerously malnourished?
(especially dangerous with that virus going around; the last thing you need is weakened immune system)

not dangerous as you'd think since I've been maintaining strict quarantine. and even so, I have to make sacrifices to achieve my dreams. besides, I have A fear of food and eating anxiety so not eating is easy for me, even though it means I'm suffering from rickits currently and will probably suffer from other deficiencies along the way.

🤔 what does this achieve?

The lower two ribs do not protect your organs as much as all the other ribs do, so getting them removed serves little risk, and will allow my waist to get smaller than it can get with them in.

Hey, um, I'm speaking here about your food anxiety, and I want to be sure you understand I mean this completely separate from your gender dysphoria. If your relationship with food is so bad that you're already suffering diseases related to malnutrition, don't you think you should see a therapist? That's going to be a lot cheaper than $25,000 for cosmetic surgery to remove two ribs. If your dream involves permanent, unnecessary changes to your body that could literally kill you, you might need to explore what psychological influence is causing you have that dream.
