So it’s been almost a month since I attended this name change clinic in Columbus. I was able to submit forms to legally change my name on my birth certificate and all that jazz but have yet to hear or see anything from it. Yes I realize I’m being impatient but I can’t help it😅

I just wanted to see if anyone else who attended this clinic(specifically this day, 4/18) and is also on Reddit has received any kind of updates or has received their documents… I just feel like I’m going crazy bc I haven’t received any updates or anything🫠

So I’ve noticed recently that I have been opting out of going out and “exploring town”. Now if you know me you’d know that I cannot for the life of me stay inside as it drives me insane. But lately I’ve been feeling really dysphoric especially with regards to my chest and I feel as tho I’m extremely clockable bc I use trans tape and that only does so much but in my brain it feels like it does nothing and therefore want nothing to do with the outside world.

I’m currently at a party but I had to step out bc I felt as tho everyone was looking at me like I was some sort of freak of nature although ik that’s not true I couldn’t help but think that.

I think being on T has really boosted my confidence but also given me another reason to feel dysphoric bc I feel I dont “pass” and compare myself and the changes I’ve had with being on T for 1.5 yrs, to all these cis heteronormative traits.

I don’t think I’m the only one who’s felt this way but I feel very lonely rn… I don’t really have anyone in my inner circle who knows what I’m feeling bc I’m the only trans person ik so idk who to talk to… sorry if this is long lol
