Oh yeah - I forgot to mention... Being poly doesn't come at a huge economic cost, either. I've had to spend what little savings I have on things like hormones, facial hair removal, an entirely new wardrobe, legal costs of changing my name and gender, and costs related to surgery (I'm lucky enough to live in a country where my SRS was paid for by my government, but I still had to spend over $3000 CAD on related expenses like airfare, recovery stay, etc.). In fact, I've run into a period of poverty due to long-term and repeated unemployment. I've actually had to go off my hormones now, due to the lack of funds for them, which is now adversely affecting my health.
