Just like it says on the tin.
Hey, I'm a young-er female that is going to be getting drugs and other drug like things to make the y-chromosome-having exterior into something that makes me feel less like pure, concentrated garbage. So this is going to be a fun type thing that will make my next few years into a living hell while my university looks on at me with disgust and undisguised hatred.
Some background: I am training to be an officer of the Canadian Armed Forces, hence the french in my username (for the Americans, bilingualism is a requirement for officers in the Forces). I am also still attending the military college system after a year of trying my absolute hardest to ignore all signs of femininity inside me.
As I'm sure you all can guess, this went swimmingly for all involved.
Just the highlights: I have been openly laughed at, insulted, and otherwise glared at by the medical staff, I've been threatened to be booted for 'administrative difficulties', been told by my peers to simply quit, gone through several bouts of depression, some self harm (although my friend will be taking precautions against this for the foreseeable future), and miscellaneous violence and insults. All by the people I call allies.
On the bright side, what can the enemy throw at me that I haven't seen before, eh?
I'm finally getting past this stage of denial in my life and learning to move on from where I was. I've not been lurking on this board for too long, but I'll catch on quick. I look forward to typing out my problems and meeting other peeps, hopefully from around the general Canada area. (The forces is such a melting pot that I do probably know someone from your town, wherever in hicksville, Alberta you happen to hail from.)
If anyone is from the Kitchener/Waterloo area as well, I'd love to chat. I'm going on leave soon, so I'll be back home for a bit.
Thanks for reading my rantings. I hope to shock and amuse.
