I don't normally just post but I have to get this off my chest.
The last few months have been pretty hard for me.

I've had a mental breakdown, suicidal and hospitalised, lost my job because of it, possibly separating from my partner of 14 years and end up sleeping out of my car on occassions.

The only upside I had was I had bottom surgery even though I know I still can't get a GRC in my birth country of the UK because they don't recognise doctors reports from Canada.
And since I've used my new girly name on CVs the rate of IT employment reach out has gone down to nearly zero.

Also boot now, I can't even go visit my homeland without being told I'm a man now thanks to the UK supreme court and I feel like a refugee.
It might be hard to understand unless …

Big hugs to all the other trans people in the UK.

And the intersex people too. I’m not sure where the Supreme Court ruling leaves intersex people.

No Matter What / Nonostante Tutto for #windowfriday

β€œEach step forwards to become the person we are makes it harder to go backwards, to return to the shadowy, private world of closed doors and shuttered windows. The experience, the awakening of one’s true self, after being so long suppressed, can never be adequately explained with language.”

– Lili Elbe

It felt pretty fitting to see the flag with everything crumbling around it. Hopefully from the crumbling we can build something new.
