Flying?
Colleen_definitely:
I did fly sailplanes a long time ago but never ended up finishing out my license. I plan on getting my fixed wing powered private license after I finish up this cursed graduate degree. (that's doctor shame of the family thank you very much ;) ) And I'll probably go after my sailplane license afterward because some day I'll move away from this midwestern hellscape. This isn't exactly prime territory for the one wheel and no engine crowd.

If you haven’t looked already do understand that if you’re in the us and you’ve started a medical transition you’ll need to get a special issuance on your medical. Yay de jure discrimination 😖.

What? When did this happen? When I had my class 3 a few months ago I gave a list of medications and they didn’t say a word. I’m assuming it’s because of clotting risk with oral estrogen?

Oh my, the Midwest is definitely not sailplane or glider territory. I don’t even know if anyone near me is into sail plane aviation.

I really got spoiled coming of age in the deserts of southern Arizona. Need a thermal? Just look for a cloud and watch the variometer.
Powered is fun for sure but there's something serene about being up there with just you and the wind in a sailplane.

I’m not an expert or a lawyer so I may be the one who’s wrong. When did you start transition?you’re ok after 5 years. We’re you given a dysphoria diagnosis? If not it may not be necessary.
