SO GUESS WHAT!
Today my new therapist called! =D
To say she had no experience with gender id and did not want to waste my time and money. And let me know she was canceling my appointment. And suggest a far away clinic where I can be assessed by a team of experienced professionals.
=\
…
They told me she had helped people with this. They also told me the MD they reffered me to had experience with trans...

Ambiguous how?
I’m a little weirded out that TV Tropes has Julian Bashir listed as Ambiguously Brown, with the following reasoning:
“Dr. Bashir of Star Trek Deep Space Nine speaks with an upper-class English accent, but to this day his ethnicity remains a mystery. It’s possible that his family has lived in Britain for several generations, and he may identify himself as English regardless...

UGH.
Well I’m back at school, and it kind of sucks. I feel totally overwhelmed and confused and we haven’t even started yet. I misread my schedule and missed a class already. I am terrified of failing.
I try to project confidence when I have to go out, but really I feel like I’m about to shatter into a million pieces. Then I come home and hide in my apartment. I feel trapped and...

fuckyeahdeepspace9-deactivated2 asked: Just popped in to say hi and saw the article on third culture kids and OMG YES! I definitely think the reason it took me so long to come to grips with who I am has to do with the fact that I grew up overseas and feel like a perpetual outsider here in the States - even in a city as international as DC.

Sorry for the little hiatus but it was SO HARD to motivate myself to watch the next episode after that one where Worf joins the Tea Party for two seconds. Viewers block is broken and new pictures coming tonight!
I bring you this link as a peace offering.
AE: Do you think 20 years ago there was a reluctance to do it because science fiction, wrongly or rightly, is perceived...

FTM TCK FTW ... BBQ
So another thing that I am besides FTM is a Third Culture Kid.
I was just reading this article and wondering if non-TCK trans* people have some of the same issues of identity. It kind of resonates with my (limited) understanding of genderqueer.
Anyway, I had kind of forgotten about this phenomenon, but it explains a lot about me. It definitely overshadowed my discomfort with my body during my...

When I get on T and star to look more like myself, I’m gonna
paint my nails and

because it has been Too Damn Long.
Progress ~*update*~ oooh
Hello followers, and thanks for the kind words!
Just found out I have to see Trans Friendly Gyno AND go to a therapist about my gender identity and my depression. They said it could take weeks, months or years to a scrip.
I have mixed feelings. I hope things have finally begun for real.

Progress
Saw my doctor yesterday.
She referred me to a trans-friendly GYN who sometimes comes out to Upper East Bumblef*ck Wisconsin. So hopefully he can help me out.

Rough Week
Been in a dark place this week. Since last Saturday at least, and I snapped out of it sometime yesterday.
I could only see the negative in myself and I lost hope that anything could ever get better. My fears took over. What if this isn’t hormones? What if I get on testosterone and am still massively depressed? What if I fail more classes? What if I never manage to hold down a job? What if...
