This afternoon I set up a saving account. I have decided to start saving for top surgery, and today I made a pointed decision that this is that important to me.
Many of you may know that I am attached to the idea of breastfeeding children - very attached to it in fact. I find the whole process nourishing, and beautifully organic. Kate's first comment was along these lines, but I reassured her that I was aware and that this is what I want even if it means losing a small dream. It is a mental as well as physical change that I want to undergo - and I have not made a hasty decision as much of my time and effort goes into thinking if not about my own trans identity, than about others.
I also bought myself a real compression vest today.
I started a new journal and I labeled today as day one to my new changes. Although I have been making small changes and decisions for a while now - the big decisions are beginning to manifest in front of me
My T.S. account currently has $110 in it. That leaves me with $7,890 to go.
I think the account needs a catchy or punny name
ideas?
About the Author:
- N.J.
- I am an preforming artist, writer, director and eternal student. When I am not writing, I am watching anime, working in the theatre, baking bread, cooking, or napping in my hammock. I am fascinated with Africa, performance (of any kind), and woman's studies. When you pair the three together it is a dangerously awesome combination. I am also very active in queer discussions, especially those pertaining to gender. I hope my art can be use to trigger discussion, community healing and change (however loosely defined). Until then I will daydream, draw, write. and live. This is my blog of free thoughts and art, free for you to read.
