Current situation and future.
2 years ago
Might be a long journal out of nowhere because I'm quite stressed and I will have to talk about it at one point or another.
I'm not exactly open about it online or talk about it often but I'm going through medical transition.
I've been trying to put it into motion for past several years and as of current date I'm writing this journal on I've been about 6 months on hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
My changes are gradual but that itself is not the problem, I am more than grateful and thankful for being able to afford all of this now thanks to the a bunch of you who order from me and help me along the lines to continue the process. Currently the biggest hurdle is all the legal paper work I have to deal with due to my country's of residence laws on transitional care (that being, little to none). In order for me to have my legal gender changed to one that I identify with, I have to go through a lengthy legal process in which I have to essentially take my own parents to court and "sue" them for "applying" the wrong gender to me at birth. The nonsensical nature of it aside, the whole ordeal is fairly costly in case I didn't have to pay out of pocket for not just my medication but also every visit to whichever doctor at that time I have to visit, my blood work and so on.
Because of that soon-ish I will have to open a fund for it, with me obviously making art in exchange.
The entire thing leaves me quite stressed and defeated considering how long it has taken me to even get my diagnosis and lately, hormone therapy - it does not at all excite me to have to indulge in law language I can barely understand just for the ability to live normally like every other person can without having to.. well, prove their existence as legitimate.
I also apologize for taking my sweet time with work.
I'm trying to kick myself to get to work quicker rather than slugging along.
Regards,
Sebastian.
