As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

My trans friend is making awesome progress! I helped her get a GP appointment (intake forms were tricky and I recommended the local Very Woke clinic) so that she can get a proper referral to gender affirming care (she has that appointment already, but I want to make sure her insurance covers it). And her boss is being incredibly chill about her coming out. He is gay so he knows what kind of support she needs. Plus, she came out to other people before him just to make sure she would have support.
Before this, I was the only person in her life using her proper pronouns and name. But she is realizing how little most people think about or care if someone is trans in our city. It seems that her parents will not take her transition seriously until she starts to look different. They misgender her all the time.
Despite my personal problems with my parents, I am grateful that they are very pro LGBT libs and are using her pronouns when she comes over.
