realized i need to print stickers but i finally have access to a laser printer again

did 4 of these fucks today. and like, sure, there is a lot of copy and paste, largely the opening and closing. i am working on a few different scripts for the different surgeries cause we have to add in a little more on why someone would need a surgery. but i still gotta do their journey, if they do hrt, their support network, their work info (will they get fired for getting surgery kinda shit), and their recovery plans and that is all a new rewrite every time.

The really fucking stupid thing is half the assessment is not info that the insurance wants so I don't ask it. there is a lot on it that i won't ask, its so fucking outdated its offensive. the last person asked hwy i didnt ask about how they bind and i was like welp cause it wants me to ask when you started masturbating, it was not written by trans folks and even tho we are at a point were starting to get into these positions, these are the tools we are being handed to use. A newer one has been added to our drive but I haven't been able to find it.

gotta fill out the doc saying we met, then write the letter, get it approved, fill out a doc saying i did the letter, fill out another doc saying i filled out this doc, then email that to another person, then upload the email to their file, then email the letter to the person the letter is for, then see if they want it faxed for them and if they do get them to fill out the document saying i can, then fill out the fax document
hi everyone im a therapist now and holy fucking shit there is so much paperwork
Trans women: remember, the more we are out there, being seen, interacting with people on a day to day basis, joking with delivery guys, doing your job, letting people go ahead of you in queues, having coffee with friends etc raises our profiles and raises the blood pressure of transphobes so that they expire quicker. Get out there and have fun they hate that.
there is a rat game and it looks cute but it is actually a type of puzzle my brain refuses to understand
i'm nearly at a full caseload now which is a lot of work but it has been good work. my first insurance letter was approved and my client has surgery scheduled for next spring. id really like to get making more art in my freetime but i've been pretty wiped.
lost my cat satchel, he was 19 years old when he passed, a very old man. we have a beautiful little carved wooden box his ashes are in. his sister nana is still with us, actually doing far better than she was at the start of the year, though we have a lot of little scares. i honestly expected to lose her shortly after, they were a bonded pair, together since birth. i miss him every day, and still cry at least once a day.

Trafficking is a safety concern. Here are some ways to try to avoid it

1) have multiple contacts at your destination who are not working together. make friends there. Find discord servers and chat groups. Then there is somebody else there you can ask for help

2) always retain control of your identity documents, communication devices, funds and means of travelling when staying with somebody. Those are your lifelines in case the situation goes badly

3) never, ever let yourself become wholly reliant on one person or org for everything. If you cannot leave a situation without losing all your means of surviving, you are vulnerable to exploitation

4) talk about what you are experiencing with people you already trust so they can lend you perspective

at some point you will have to trust someone and take risks to make progress. there’s no hard, fast rule as to who is trustworthy. Safety is about *redundancy* #gtfomystate
