Yesterday was the International Day Of Transgender Visibility. Below is my diary of what I did yesterday in my own celebration of the day.
~~Autumn~~

When was your last period?

On Tuesday morning -- on the International Day Of Transgender Visibility --  I went in for "routine" medical care that for a trans person like me perhaps isn't so routine: I went in for my annual mammogram.

My primary healthcare provider is the Veterans Administration, but the Veterans Administration's San Diego medical facility doesn't currently have the capability to do mammograms.
