I think the worst part about this whole OKC thing is that the people who are most affected by their stupid decisions are the people who don't have alternatives. It's not like you can be like "hi I'm a pansexual trans enby switch who likes waxplay" on match.com.
My depression is telling me that this is yet another piece of evidence that I'm going to die alone because I'm broken and not a Normal Person and I'm telling my depression to fuck off by playing CatQuest.
American Medical Insurance Whee
To be fair this is still a massive improvement over my last insurance company and now I have the contact for the person who knows what's going on instead of having to deal with reps who are confused and not sure which level support to forward me to.
But having my PCP be potentially be 40 minutes away is going to be rather annoying.
(There may be one only 20 minutes away, assuming said doctor passes their Gender Training next month. So they are working on this.)

So when my insurance company says "we have a team of dedicated case workers who will help trans and gender non-conforming folks navigate our systems" and "we have an extensive network of doctors who are trained with gender issues" they mean "we have one very overworked woman working with all trans members b/c only she is trained to deal with our arcane bullshit" and "yeah so your PCP is now in Northgate because that's the closest doctor who knows about gender".

I have discovered THE MOST COMFORTABLE THING.
It is a dress that's also a hoodie and a scarf and it is so warm and comfy and it also makes me look like I'm a World of Darkness character and/or a supporting character from an urban fantasy novel.
(And yes that's a Celestial Chorus pendant because seriously if I was a World of Darkness character I'd very much be an outcast equivalent of presbyter or somesuch.)
@anthracite CONGRATS ON FINISHING THE THING!!!
I can draw things in my toot?!?! Time to upload obligatory bun. :3 https://awoo.space/media/ilaUsJP4Ucu0X9soBVM
So um I now have the ability to engrave things from the World of Darkness wiki into wood on demand.

Buuuut to reward me for making terrible phone call I got to tell a dude who was clearly very uncomfortable with the conversation and didn't really know what he's doing that he has no idea what I'm talking about and maybe he could transfer me to level 3 support so he had to scramble and find the closest not-cis person and give them the phone.
Hilarity.

And, well, the answer that the last rep gave me was the exact same thing that the people on Faceboop replied with b/c that's their standard answer for "hello I have questions about trans things".
So I didn't actually have to call them and all the worrying was for nothing.
It is a good (and bad) answer though and it's "we'll have someone from our specially trained trans services team call you back". Good b/c they know what they're doing. Bad because more phone calls. :3
