It's snowing in late April, it's been snowing since November. Six months of winter. I'm tired of waiting for the spring.
I got told that the waiting list for my doctor is four to six months. I remember the first time I tried to go through the process of medical transition, I was rejected sight unseen for being too depressed. That was over two years ago. The second time I started jumping through these hoops was sixteen months ago. When I get to see the doctor in four to six months do I get put on a another waiting list? By then it'll have been twenty to twenty-two months. Thirty since I first tried reaching out for medical care.
I remember when I first came out. That was in 2017, it was to my best friend at the time. He called me repulsive and recommended that I wouldn't go through with it. So I didn't. I still have those texts. That was over eighty months ago. By the time I finally have my doctor's appointment it'll have been seven years of my life.
Seven years of winter. I'm tired of waiting for the spring.

JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.
Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.
However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.
But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.
It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.
We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something
