This also marks 6 years of me being out as trans, which is wild in and of itself. I meant to do this big talk about it last year, about everything I had experienced and all that sort of stuff, but I was so stoned out of my mind I forgot.
I guess part of the reason I'm celebrating it on the actual day instead of the day I started hormones is because I never thought I'd make it this far. If you've been through enough you get what I mean, and understand how it's hard to sit here years after, and just not know how to do anything but put one foot in front of the other. I'm glad I'm alive, very glad, I very much plan on continuing to be so, but still.
I don't want it to sound like I'm demanding birthday presents or anything like that, but if anyone has a few dollars to kick my way, between an unexpected car repair and a billing company still refusing to cancel a double payment I made on the county name-change fee, I am substantially in the red right now. It'd be a huge help, and since insurance still isn't covering my estrogen I am struggling in more than just the financial way.
