Hey everyone!
Sorry this isn't a more positive time, but it's great to see some old friends!

Going to spoiler just in case this crosses the ick/TMI line for some people.
Today I got the straggling bits off my torso and did almost all of my legs, and that feels even better. Arms are next in a couple of days, then will need to get Scint to help with my back. Then after that it's just maintenance. At least, here's hoping.

One week to my telehealth meeting. <vibrates>
In other news, I've switched my pronouns and address in pretty much all my regularly-attended online spaces, and been met by a mixture of general nonhostile apathy (the expected result for most people I'm not particularly close with, really) and enthusiastic support.
Likewise my therapist was supportive when I informed him that I was pursuing this at our last session, and wants me to keep him informed as things go on. We have another session tomorrow but nothing's really happened yet to share.
The week after next I have a doctor's appointment so I'm just gonna wait until then to tell her, especially as I'll hopefully have the prescription recommendations from PP, and if she signs off on them that'll pretty much guarantee that insurance will cover HRT for me.

When I started, honestly the best support I wanted was the non-hostile apathy. I really didn't want a big fuss about it. I just wanted people to respect my journey and treat me the same way they always have.

Pretty much same.

It seems another Trans Day of Rememberance is upon us.
It saddens me as much as mystifies me that not everyone has made it to today simply because they are of trans experience.
I mourn for any who did not make it to today, and will spend every other day trying to help those who are still with us.
So I did confirm I'm going for my consultation with PP next week and, from generally all the reports Ive found doing preliminary research, it's not uncommon especially in an informed-consent state like mine to get your first HRT prescription or recommendation on day-of; even if I don't, I have an already-scheduled appointment with my GP at the beginning of December and (hopefully) would be able to get a prescription then.
I know "everyone's journey is different" but I'm just kinda generally looking for a "what to expect" kinda thing. Feel free to PM if it's not something you're comfortable with discussing openly here. Thanks and appreciation in advance. :)
