Big news y'all.
I've been approved by the insurance for my orchiectomy! It's going to happen! Crying tears of joy. 😂

Yesterday, I received a call from the cardiology clinic. Anesthesiology had contacted them to obtain a clearance for that upcoming, not yet scheduled, surgery.

"If you know anything about transgender healthcare, you know there’s some fairly significant gatekeeping hurdles to be overcome. That’s particularly true of gender affirming surgery."

Selfies, eye contact, trans joy, makeup
If you've been paying attention, you've noticed I don't do much makeup in my selfies. There's complicated emotional abuse reasons for that. This isn't about that.
The past few days, I have acquired some new makeup (mostly eye makeup) and have been playing around with it. I think I like the results.
Pardon the squinting in the closeups. I was more interested in see the makeup look than my eyes.

I finally received all the necessary paperwork that I needed to get my driver’s license transferred to my new home state. The birth certificate, which was the big holdup, arrived on Monday.

I'm off to see my PCP this afternoon for a hospital follow up appointment. Casual T-shirt in shades of purple, and hair in a pony tail is the order of the day.
[ID: Janet, wearing a v-neck T-shirt with horizontal stripes in various shades of purple. Her hair is a wavy silver ombre, tied back in a pony tail. She's wearing a dangle chain earring on the left, along with a barely visible diamond stud. On the right, she has a heart shaped stud in trans flag colors. Her necklace is a gold (almost) choker with a small diamond pendant.]

I'm planning on attending another nearby #pride2024 celebration tomorrow afternoon. It's about an hour's drive each way, and runs from noon until 10pm. I'm hopeful that I will have the requisite #spoons in order to go the day. Last time, the crowds didn't overwhelm me, which I was pleased by. I assume that had a lot to to do with being around my tribe.
So if you don't hear from me tomorrow, it's all good. It means I'm having fun. 😊

I Came Out As Transgender At 63 Years Old | HuffPost HuffPost Personal
It’s not something you dabble with and then grow out of. It’s a feeling we’ve spent a lifetime trying to ignore until we either die fearful and silent, or decide that living whole and happy is worth having people hate us.
This author writes about coming out in the current political climate, at age 63, as #transgender .
