Damn mirror is faulty, still shows a beard every morning. Gotta put a complaint in, this is not the replacement I ordered.
That being said though, I’m feeling pretty good. I came out to most of my family and close friends, and so far they’ve all been supportive, which is the absolute best thing I’ve ever ended a year on.
Nonetheless, this next year is pretty daunting already, with all I want to do with it. But that’s a problem for tomorrow :D
Because it’s an expense I simply can’t afford atm. I need to go to a therapist, get an official indication for my transgender identity, and then I can ask my health insurance to pay for it.
Make sure you go to the right therapist, a lot of people are not up to snuff on this stuff, and that can really fuck you up. What worked for me was to call the insurance and they provided a list. I know them feels sis!
Ah sorry to hear that. I’m also quite poor and yet spending a ton on health insurance just to be able to get a half decent coverage. But it’s great you found a solution there.
So it’s too expensive to visit one or is it an emotional thing?
Therapy should be covered, but hair removal is not. Only when a therapist officially states I’m transgender, insurance can pay for it. And even then they might try not to, but I also found a resource telling us what to do when that’s the case.
I’m stoked to get the ball rolling, in any case :D
AAAAAAAAAAH

Have you picked a new name yet, or how’s that going, or is it gonna be miss Brainfart? 🌈 🌈 🌈 🌈 🌈 🌈 🌈
Brainfart is certainly what describes me as a person best
Hey Brainfart, so why don’t you get your facial hair lasered?
I couldn’t stand mine either. Like one of those things you have to do twice a day and just pretend you don’t exist and force yourself through it.

There’s two websites I found where queer people can reccommend medical professionals they went to, so that’s what I’m using to find one
Because honestly, my insurance has proven to be incompetent on a few accounts already
