Hey everybody! :)
I guess some might have noticed I've been away for quite a few months. I was starting my study Biology, and was so overwhelmed by everything I just backed down from internet pretty much entirely (except facebook. I was never really active on it, and now I am... lol). A lot has happened since, and I also decided to quit my study because it just didn't ring with me, and started being a crazy-ass awesome mofo by chasing my dream and passion in art. Lol
I came out to a couple of friends too, but not yet my parents... nor have I seen a therapist yet. Things are starting to boil though, and I HAVE to get over those goddamn fears! >:I
Getting T and/or surgery is going to become very difficult in the Netherlands now though, as the main 'gender team' is going to stop taking any new patients (too less money), that includes me. They said it will be temporarily, but didn't say how long it will take. In the meantime... all the transgenders here are ->-bleeped-<-ED. Checking for alternative routes...
Anyway, glad to be back! :)

Glad to have you back, Erik! Sorry about the whole trans-situation. Hopefully it won't be too long before they start taking more patients again.
Nice avatar btw! :)

Thanks everybody! :)
And yeahh, I miss them too... but when I look at pics of me now and when I still had them I HAVE to admit I look more myself now! It was awesome to have them, and who knows I'll do it again, but right now... this is better!

I'm inclined to think Holland will continue to have to provide transition and SRS unless they opt out of the Human Rights Act.
