  • Had a consultation for GRS on Tuesday. Doctor said she’d send me her assessment within 2-3 weeks. Got it on Friday!!! I think this is the first time something transition related went quicker than expected lol. That meant I had all the documents to submit my application for GRS coverage by insurance.

    Now I’m on the way back from putting the application in the mail. I’m thrilled!! But also very scared I missed something out of the many many documents they want and all the regulations. Here’s hoping that isn’t the case and I get a reply within the next 6 weeks. If so, the doc said I can get a surgery appointment within 3-6 months. I hope that works out, surgery in winter would be much better than in summer.


  • Had a good week, work was okay, correction on my nose job went well without any issues and not even having to wait very long. I got rejected for a job I applied to but it would’ve meant a move so I’m not that bothered about it. Applied to appear on stage at a radical pride event and was rejected as well, which bums me out more than the job haha. Have been talking to some people for stage appearances and readings and am very busy preparing new stories and texts for upcoming open calls! Otherwise, next week I have my first appointment concerning SRS, looking forward and a bit afraid something goes wrong with insurance or something else I didn’t predict.


  • Good but exhausting. Had some social stuff and on Thursday I took a day off to do all my doctor’s appointments. Laser, new hormone prescription and I had to get a document for a minor correction on my nose job, that’s coming up on the 15th. The laser lady complimented my outfit which felt great! It’s a co-ord with red and white stripes :) She also said she estimates 2-3 more sessions until my facial hair is completely gone, which isn’t too bad.

    It was also Pride weekend this week in my city, I went to the smaller dyke march on Saturday and skipped the larger event on Sunday due to bad weather and not wanting to feel overwhelmed by so many people. Good decision, had a great time and ran into some people I knew. Also, I was surprised by the presence of trans people & flags at the dyke march, what a wonderful sight.
