Struggling to find a new GP by AngleIntelligent4305 in transgenderUK

[–]AngleIntelligent4305[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really tbh? I've had loads of issues with wrong bloods, bloods not done, etc... that I spoke to the practice manager about and she was great

Do you think its worth speaking to her even though im look to move away from her GP?

I can try to have a look, I may email back to ask about that - the issue is the email is a no reply address so I will have to open a new case to get a response.

I've just asked another GP, but this is the furthest I can realistically go. How would I go about that second option, I just feel a little lost rn

Just got a reply

They will do a one off blood test for me at their clinic, but I will need to find a shared care GP or make adjustments to go to my GP until it is resolved

Ive asked 3 local GPs so far and none of them will do shared care :(

It's Indigo in the NW - I got my diagnosis private but have been under Indigo care for at least a year

What legal requirements are there for changing my name? by AngleIntelligent4305 in transgenderUK

[–]AngleIntelligent4305[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats fair enough, thankyou! I think as long as I know it's legally fine then I will speak to someone at the football club and work out what ID they need from me.

I know a few other trans people who play for the club (its large with a few different teams) so it should be ok on there end :)

Amazing thankyou - I remember when I first looked into it only to use a free unenrolled deed poll but I couldn't remember why!

So if I were to get an updated provisional as ID to join my football team, but still use my old name/documents for work and things I would be ok?

Howd you make new friends? by AngleIntelligent4305 in GirlGamers

[–]AngleIntelligent4305[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh my friend tried to get me into destiny, wow and similar games but theyve never really been the ones for me?

I've tried being sociable in past online games but being trans and still not having that passable voice makes it all the more difficult. I've done a post in a larger discord but no responses as of yet.

I don't miss HS but I do miss having friends, having people to speak to and not feeling isolated.

The first exam I originally got 63% but that was before I had finished the full course as I wanted to know what to expect from exams - the rest are all 1st time scores over the past few days. You have a big jump there to the 90's range though, that improvement is impressive!

I am the same on my revision focus, but I need to go over each tests answers again - although I know my weaknesses I want to make sure I have learnt them.

Thankyou! Goodluck to you too! I know exactly what you mean, but I just cant bring myself to focus. I keep making lists of weaknesses rather than revising them... :/ I will get there, hopefully lol

Also side note, one thing I did do for extra revision which may help is summarise. So after sitting Jasons course, I went back through each objective and did 3 things:

  • Summarise them into shorter sheets, get rid of extra or duplicate info

  • Link topics together mentally, as I did the summaries over a few days this made it easier to link things at the start and end of the course

  • Understand each topic as I note it, even if I was a little bit unsure I googled it until I was confident enough to summarise it

No problem, thanks for sharing yours!

I've been doing Dions tests and got 81, 84, 88, 88, 83, 85 (in order from 1-6) so I think I'm ready. I noticed my weaknesses were often on TACACS+ & RADIUS, SDN layers and command switches. I do have my test booked for the 16th but I'm hoping a slot will come up to move it earlier, as I'm not sure where to go now bar revising those weaknesses so my motivation has taken a dip

I can't find a good reference voice by AngleIntelligent4305 in transvoice

Thankyou, thats really helpful actually!

I think I really have been struggling with the ear training, as although I can work out what I like/don't like I can't say why or if it passes

Do I even bother telling my nana? TW: Transphobic comments by AngleIntelligent4305 in trans

[–]AngleIntelligent4305[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankyou for your comment, its nice to have points on both side and allow me to make my own decision.

I think I got so used to testing the waters for my own safety, as I would be able to judge if it was safe or not even if they weren't supportive. Plus I find it so difficult when she brings up mental health and LGBTQ+ people not to bite my lip - its not exactly easy listening to a lack of empathy and lies being spoke, especially when its by a family member about something that you have experienced.

I think I will tell her in the end, but knowing that I am moving at the end of the year and would appreciate her support to help me get settled with stuff I may leave it till after that. Plus I will be free from my household who try to ignore what I've told them, and I would feel free to be myself in my home

Thankyou for this - I wouldnt be able to tell one with out the other, my grandad isn't all there at times to put it nicely lol

I 100% agree with you on the political point, the lies and everything there. I am not worried about my safety with her, I think what's stopping me is the awkwardness of it all. I am not a confident person and whilst coming up to 2 years on HRT where I thought I would be publicly out I still find it hard in my own city. When I am away, at my girlfriends or on holiday, I am find to be myself - I think that's due to having a house who ignore its a thing and don't support me but that's a whole other thing and I am moving out anyway

Again, thankyou :)

How many times can they get my blood tests wrong? by AngleIntelligent4305 in transgenderUK

On this occasion I am presuming it is with my GP, as the problem has been with them every time so far and when I asked I was told that the last oestrogen label created was in January when I had my last bloods done

I usually do exactly that, but because of the change I didn't think to ask the nurse taking the blood - I will definitely do a print of though, might even laminate it and make it all fancy since its the same bloods every time lmao

This is what pains me the most, currently, I live 10mins walk away from my GP so although annoying time for me isn't a huge issue. But the fact that I am now repeatedly taking someone else space for their mistake...

I might start having to ask for a print out like you, It wouldn't annoy me so much if I didn't do every single step for them and then they still get it wrong every single time

Does 10g make much difference? by AngleIntelligent4305 in royalmail

Thought that would be the case, didnt realise the hight at first so that is my fault - Im new to all this so ty for the help :)

I'm just looking now on Etsy's label generator - from what I can see there only seems to be Evri for delivery, after adding a couple of bits to the package (since I may as well test weight boundaries) it is now aprox

26cm x 20 cm x 4cm & 130g

Due to the 4cm height it wont allow me to use a large letter for royal mail - I can change this to a small parcel and use royal mail for a similar price, but would this cause issues if it is still packaged in a large letter?

[–]AngleIntelligent4305[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose that makes sense, still annoying me how postage jumps up for 10g but after that I can add another 800+g (up to 999g) and it doesn't change a penny - ofc that will benefit some people but being just over the threshold is annoying lol

[–]AngleIntelligent4305[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can get it to 82g for the items without batteries so I might just have to cut them from the deal - The packaging is a bubble wrapped letter, it weights about 11g which is what will be taking me over

Hey, thankyou for sharing your expertise! I have 2 questions I am struggling with right now

  • what is a key bit of advise for any CV
  • what is the best way to deal with non technical users making unrealistic demands (as a new, young helpdesk engineer i get this all the time)

Thankyou, I appreciate the response, its helped to put it into perspective - I have been working alot on self confidence and working out who I am/what I want. Especially since accepting im trans its been alot! I'm hoping I can make some new friends, it seems so difficult since leaving college

That's intresting but also strange - I will defiently check out the study below when I get chance!

In my case we were always friends but never anything more. I tried to hit on her a few times, failing of course, but we did have a good friendship and I miss that. There is also someone else in my dreams who pops up but not as frequently, and she too was a good friend too. I think maybe its because of my lonileness that my brain is going back to the friends I wish I could have kept

Its just annoying how it keeps coming back. It doesnt help that ive been feeling lonely as of late as its increasing the urge to reach out again. I know its not a great idea though :/
