I got a clinic referral yesterday! Waiting on a confirmation letter/email but the gp visit went so much better than I expected. I was automatically offered the clinic with the shortest waiting times and the doctor made sure to make a note of my preferred name and pronouns on my file. I was in and out in 10 minutes and had to contain a big dumb smile as I was leaving

How it started -> How it's going

Had my first transphobia the other day, that was fun /s. Came out to a (now former) friend and he went on about how he was glad trump won and that it should be even harder to transition and teachers shouldn't be allowed to mention any lgbt topics whatsoever. He knows transitioning reduces suicide rates too so it was hard not to take that as him telling me to kms. Had a look on his face like he thought it was funny. In better news though my mum has offered to try getting prescribed estradiol "for menopause" so that's gonna make medicating easier while I'm waiting to be seen by a doctor

I went through a soy milk phase when I learned about phytoestrogens "just to see what would happen". Got disappointed and stopped drinking it when I realized nothing was happening. Still cis though, right?

Difficult, not gonna lie. Everything's become much more real since coming out to my parents, and while everyone I've told has been amazingly supportive I kinda feel like I'm trapped being who I've always been. Each small step is like climbing another mountain. I'm scared I might never get to finally be me (thanks TERF Island). Got a blåhaj to snuggle though so things aren't all bad I guess
