2026

It's 2026, and I plan on uploading this on my HRT anniversary. Though I started writing this before. But for that day (12 April) 

Happy HRT Anniversary

So yeah, a year on HRT. With no help from the NHS, as GP surgery won't do shared care with private clinics as an organisational rule, non of the actual Doctors can override that. While obviously even the shortest wait times for an NHS Gender clinic is multiple years.

Anyway, I made it a year on HRT, I just need to figure out how to afford every other year until the NHS pick up my care.

Anyway, again I want to celebrate not have to worry about costs, though costs are the reason I couldn't "finish" electrolysis on my face and neck. Costs are what will limit what options I have for surgery, what country I would need to go to. There I go again.

I am genuinely happier on HRT, I see "myself" a little more each day. Or in another way of phrasing I love myself a little more, and hate my reflection a little less each day. Despite the extra stress, to admin, to how I'm treated socially by strangers, how I paint a target on my back for transphobes to vent their feeling about trans people to me in public.
I'll never let them take this from me.

Cheese and haggis Toastie

A thing I have done every appointment I go to my clinic. Straight after I have a cheese and Haggis Toastie, which has been a ritual every appointment, every 3 months. Since they're now every 6 months, instead of 3, for my first HRT anniversary, I'm making myself a cheese and Haggis Toastie. The clinic I go to happens to be by a Cafe that sells them btw.
Just myself, as used the veggie haggis for toasties around Valentines day with my Partner, as they're Vegetarian.
I'll just make them cheese toasties without the haggis this time for my partner.

Anyway little else to want to share right now so, enjoy an image of a cheese and haggis toastie, not mine, but imagine mine'll look this good, but with spicier cheese.
