Had my first transphobia the other day, that was fun /s. Came out to a (now former) friend and he went on about how he was glad trump won and that it should be even harder to transition and teachers shouldn't be allowed to mention any lgbt topics whatsoever. He knows transitioning reduces suicide rates too so it was hard not to take that as him telling me to kms. Had a look on his face like he thought it was funny. In better news though my mum has offered to try getting prescribed estradiol "for menopause" so that's gonna make medicating easier while I'm waiting to be seen by a doctor
