Moving On

last friday i attended a review with the gender clinic, and the primary points were with regards unfinished changes, which i'd sidelined, due to my heart ops, with regards voice training, and epilation, as i was focused on the actual reassignment surgery, which was successfully completed in May 2019.
she still remembered, as being wonderfully colourful. i said that i was now much more comfortable with my voice as it is, and that yes that i was still occasionally misgendered, but that was usually on the phone (even today) which makes me wince, but it is what it is, and on the phone, it is unlikely to be done out of any intent, and that i'm bound to still carry the ether of 60 years of my existence.
i was asked about my history, and the why's, and wherefores of my thought processes, and decisions, and my life, and that i still suffer from depression, but my anxiety levels, are now very low, from being very high. and that i now feel much more confident in myself, and have loved performing open mic events, and life modelling, and volunteering, especially how lovely it is working within the beautiful Alexandra Park, and helping others with their well being with Arts in The Park.
i also mentioned that my pronoun is Camembert! she gave me the most quizzical of looks! but smiled when i said i don't like labels, and this was my tongue in cheek way round this, and partly as i'm still hippie
the interview finished, and she told me they are happy to sign me off, and that they would leave my options open for voice, and stuff. but i was obviously getting on with my life. it was an interesting retrospective of all events that led me to where i am now, and that i know that i made the right decision to do what i did, and that ive now come to know so many truly lovely humans, and who could ask for more than that?
