My Trans Experience (+, 0, ~) 

Told my doctor my name, because she is happily going to help me out with my name change operations. Cause I want to do them soon. I've been worried about doing them this year, because who knows if I'll be allowed to do it later. And I haven't been looking forward to manually refreshing my PII over the whole internet. I've been a lot of places!

But. I'm not going away. I'm slowly following the "come out to family" quest line, and if I start on the "Come out to work" questline, I can maybe stack the anxiety and uncertainty debuff to shorten its duration, instead of having to do full effects for both spread out over time. Might save me some wear and tear in the long rung, because i'm an emotional labor sprinter. I don't have the endurance or reserves for an emotional labor marathon.

Turns out Dr R needed my name for a very specific reason. I now have her written and signed word that I am a "Legit and medically treated trans woman"

Name change and gender marker change is now closer.
