Another update.
7 months ago
Piggybacking off my last journal, I guess I'll start this by saying I am glad I haven't changed my name or gender marker on official documents yet. Legally, there's nothing to discriminate against.
This is in regards to the current political climate where I live. They're trying to make it harder for trans people to leave this cesspool. When it comes time to get a passport, I will simply lie and say I don't identify as male. According to them, I'm just an ugly woman on testosterone who happens to have a beard. LOL.
I have no idea what college will be like next year. I know it'll be harder to get through that as someone who is trans, autistic, etc. I have to try, though!
I am also tired of trying to lose weight for the hysterectomy. NO ONE will direct me to a nutritionist. I've tried to get one (as well as a care giver) for years, now, and just been given the run around. I'm back up to about 250 pounds when I should be 230 or less and ugh. I'm pissed, but I don't know how to determine when I am """ready""" for surgery. Even if I lose more weight by myself, they'll keep saying it's not enough.
Soon, I'm going to insist on getting a surgeon that's comfortable with my weight and just go from there. I do not have a partner to help me out, though. This means I need to convince them to keep me at a facility for a week or two until I'm able to do more things for myself. I will have to hire friends I trust not to steal from me to feed and play with my cat.
I don't know what else to say about surgery right now. I'm glad my art therapist got me thinking about it earlier, though. I need it over with sometime this year and that way next year, I can focus on getting back into college.
I am planning to learn Spanish and get whatever qualifications possible to teach/tutor in Spain. I have a friend who will rent a room in his house for ~250 euros a month. He wants me to come sooner, but I need some way of making decent money.
I'll be in a smaller city near Madrid. It's called Alcalá de Henares. Oh, and I might not qualify for a care giver here, but there is an agency I need to call when the headaches aren't too bad. They'll at least send people to take me on errands. I have a driver's license but I haven't driven in years. I hope there's some way for me to get back into driving again when I can (hopefully) afford to in Spain.
I will open up a few commission options as soon as I finish art I promised others! (I have principles against doing it any sooner.) I may have markers a friend tried to gift me coming in soon, but if not, I'll just open up ink/colored pencil drawings of MLP characters and take "pony commissions."
Not sure what else I will open for. I'm definitely comfortable with and excited to draw ponies, but I don't have a large body of work developed for a price sheet on Carrd or wherever yet.
Once I get in more practice with bodies, life drawing, etc. I may expand to include options that involve custom art of peoples' anthro characters.
I also want to finish refs of my characters and then make some adoptables to sell.
I will keep everyone posted.
