I was gonna write about this yesterday evening, but I did a lot of biking around after the appointment and when I got home I basically collapsed on my couch immediately, but anyway

for me the only planned parenthood was outside of town in a kinda sketchy area, but once I got inside the staff were super respectful and even the security guard was warm and told me not to drink the waiting room water because it wasn’t filtered 😅

the doctor there asked some basic questions about how I was feeling and what I wanted from HRT, but I honestly think I started scaring her… describing my plethora of dysphoria symptoms and my spawnpoint’s lack of receptiveness like I was talking about the weather but I don’t get super emotional in public… sorry lady, I promise I’ll get a therapist soon!! She also gave me resources for that and a support group that meets “”“nearby”“” weekly but still a little far, not sure if I’ll be able to go often if at all but I’ll see if I can check it out when I have the chance

my bloodwork checked out, and prescriptions for injections were sent to my pharmacy the same day!! I’ll have to pick them up when they’re stocked later but other than that I feel good… I just got a great thing done for myself… :3

other than that I will literally smooch the person who made public transit a thing on the cheek 300 TIMES OVER

without this fucker none of this would be possible, I got there and back home so quickly without a STUPID CAR or needing help from anybody else

      money no, it’s pretty cheap to get there, it’s combination of the first and last.

      I’m still enrolled in high school and live at home, graduating this summer. they meet on Tuesday afternoons and it’s ~30 min drive or a 1hr bus ride one-way, not to mention the fact that I can’t tell spawnpoint where I’m actually going. with that time and distance I can’t just say I’m staying after school, at friend’s house or the library and get away with it like I usually do. best case scenario, I lie and never get caught. worst case, I end up getting back long after I’ve been asked to and… yeah this isn’t going to work.

      they gave me other resources on a different slip that may be closer, so I’ll have to take a closer look. if I don’t find anything easier to get to, there’s not much I can do

    So happy for you! Public transit is so important and needs to be made much more accessible for all. I hope everything goes swimmingly for you on this leg of your journey! We are all here for you.
