You mean that horrible name of a place.

It's the main East Coast hub.

So, yeah, I just checked this out. And there's nobody listed within a 200 mile radius of me who deals with non-binary folk, or the uninsured, only 2 who handle college students, but they're all the way in downtown NOLA, which is like, 2 fucking hours round trip.

That fucking sucks.

Do you know if there's something like that for Spain? I know that there are the UTIGs (Unidades de Tratamiento de Identidad de Género/ Unidades de Transexualidad e Identidad de Género/ Unidades de Trastorno de la Identidad de Género) but some of them are quite awful. While the nearest one doesn't seem to have those issues, I think that I need to be at least for 6 months on therapy before I get HRT. And I don't want to stay here for over a year. Also, I don't know if I can go there or if my other health issues will affect the times.

Sorry, I don't know. My advice would be to check with the nearest trans org (if there is one); my provincial one has a list of trans-friendly healthcare providers.

@Val: Hope you're having a good time.

I get to home in 20. Dad seems erratic. Tbh he's probably high on meds, judging by his texts. Damaged ligaments in the ankle

At least he's less mobile than usual given the ligament issue.

No that's bad. Supposed to go to a group session in Leeds tomorrow can't now

So I said something roundabout on Facebook about possibly having some sort of identity issue thing.

I forget that part and the other part involving that step-mom of yours is still mobile!

I mean, it wasn't anywhere near as explicit as that; it was a "getting the feeling I don't understand myself" thing.

OOOO! I found a fan comic on the net about Ranma becoming one. It was listed as a trans comic on the site I found it listed, I took a peek a while ago (waaaay before I started posting here) and it's a good read.

Would it be overly unusual to be a trans woman and a firearms enthusiast? Not from a political standpoint, just from the standpoint of enjoying going to the range.
