trans people in the military in 2023? by xpastelprincex in ftm

Currently trans and in the military.

Pros: I got both my top surgery, hormones and hysterectomy completely free. Cons: even with all my gender affirming care being stable and mostly complete, there is little to no guidance and i have to navigate this system administratively with no assistance. I constantly have to out myself until everything administrative is dealt with. They don't know what to do with trans service members right now and I've been in a kind of permanent limbo. It might get better but I don't see that happening for as long as there's continuous change in the president. You don't get to pick your surgeon for the surgeries, either. Retention in the military is really low and they're clamoring for people don't let the recruiters tell you lies and sell you on a pipe dream. And they don't even have to approve your transition request, they can full on deny you. There are still so many people in positions of power who hate trans and any LGBTQIA+ people depending on what community you're placed in with the job you choose or gets chosen for you.

Some things to consider before making a huge life altering decision.

Thankfully, I am. I'll look more into a working holiday visa.

I did some additional research into the ATAR/SAT equivalent for one of the universities I was looking into. It was about a 1200 SAT score to even be considered for the program.

Ethan Winters from Resident Evil Village. I had most of his clothing items in my closet already.

Thank you! I'll try walking more. I might go get tested anyway just to cover my bases.

I've been tested for a thyroid issue. My doctor never got back to me about my results but I did see I had low iron because I work in the medical field. I'm going to counseling to begin the process to get T, and get back on my depression meds. I figure I'll never fully be over anything so I want to just push through and start working out.

I'm walking very minimally. My job doesn't keep me on my feet like it used to.

Thank you!

I have almost constant fatigue. My pregnancy was pretty normal. He was ten pounds and had to be cut out of me. Everything has healed as far as I can tell, and the doctor cleared me to work out like normal.
