Trans Election Official Complains ‘Bottom Surgery’ Costs Too Much In U.S.

A transgender-identifying man in Wiconisco Township, Pennsylvania, made a video complaining about being unable to afford “bottom surgery” in the United States.

Stephanie Fritsch, an election official who moved from Las Vegas to a small town in Pennsylvania after “transitioning,” was discovered ranting about not having sufficient funds to mutilate his body domestically. 

“I have tried for a very long time to get my bottom surgery,” Fritsch said in a video surfaced by Libs of TikTok. “Unfortunately, it’s been out of my affordability level for a very long time.”

Stephanie Fritsch is in charge of elections in Wiconisco Township, Pennsylvania.

He complains that he might have to travel to Thailand to chop off his d*ck because it’s too expensive in America

Bottom surgery generally refers to operations on the genitals intended to bring a person’s physical anatomy in line with their gender identity. He went on to say he’s disabled and on assistance, but still can’t afford the surgery he wants.

“I’m grateful to have Medicare, but at the end of the day, it’s not enough,” he went on. “…the bottom line is, it would be cheaper for me to go to Thailand or Canada to get my bottom surgery than in America.” 

Fritsch, who describes his political affiliation as “non partisan,” said he’s trying to “raise some money” to travel abroad for the surgery.

“It’s kind of hard to unpack the reality that I have to fly halfway around the world to get a medically necessary procedure instead of getting it done in America. Could you imagine having to go to get a procedure in another country?” Fritsch complained.

The video circulated widely online, prompting criticism from some commenters who questioned his role as an election official.

“This man obviously has some issues. Why has he been elected to oversee anything. He can’t even oversee his own mental health!” one person wrote.

“There are so many things wrong with this. First, that he is ‘in charge of elections,’ much less anything. Then, calling this elective surgery a ‘medically necessary surgery.’ We have got to quit going along with these people and their mental illness,” another X commenter agreed.

“How does anyone vote for a person like this? Let alone a majority of people. This person needs mental help,” a third commenter said.

Fritsch previously told Uncloseted Media that he has experienced hostility in his community, saying, “Being a public transgender woman, my life is in jeopardy all the time.”
