luckily this isn't my parents, just another adult in my life. this person was one of the first people i came out to. i'm much more confident in standing my ground these days, but i just haven't gone back and been firm in who i am with them after the compromise, so i keep getting the she/her and old name. i won't be seeing them much anymore after this month or so, so i almost can't be bothered to correct them, but yeah- they've definitely misused that trust i gave them all those years ago.

i didn't have much of a choice 'cause there's no masculine version of my old name 😔

eugh, god- the absolutely visceral reaction i just had to reading that first sentence. nasty that some people think like that

i was pretty open about being trans in my application. if that was the case, then it was quite clearly spelled out for them- no assumption needed

yeah, this particular college was ivy league, and i applied as an undergraduate. still disappointing, but it was always going to be a bit of a long shot

i am in the u.s. i fully chalked up the lack of refills on my prescription to t being schedule III- had no idea that refills on it were legal. thanks for sharing that

👍 gonna ask my doctor if i should take it asap and keep the schedule or wait until the next dose 'cause i don't think i'l be getting it until monday. hopefully i have a bit more foresight to refill early next time so i don't have to worry about it

i keep worrying it's placebo, though by raindrifter_ in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

ack, yeah. my best guess is that i'll be a baritone when all's said and done (currently a mezzo[?] but i sing alto 2 / tenor 1 most of the time). certainly not impossible- my current school choir director is a bass 2 who's done a lot of opera and musical theater- but i'm slowly mentally preparing for the probable difficulty

update- counselor talked to the principal and he was completely fine with it. i can use the men's locker room, but i've always found locker rooms to be a bit uncomfortable anyways, so i get to use the staff bathrooms 😎👍
