A late post by about two months, but I finally have time to sit down and write this. So it's been just under a year and a half that I've been on HRT and I think the effects are starting to slow down. I don't want to say reverting, but I think a leveling out is more accurate. The shape I now have I think is the one I'm going to get through HRT and any further changes would require surgery. I definitely want to get breast augmentation, trachea shave, and SRS, but my biggest priority is laser hair removal.
I used to get electrolysis done every Friday, but my electrologist fired me. How a business fires a customer I don't know, but she claims I missed too many appointments. I missed three and they were all called in weeks in advance, so I'm not really sure why that's an issue for her, but whatever I guess. Now I'm looking for another permanent hair removal method. I'm looking into real laser hair removal, but it's insanely expensive. Ideal Image wants to charge me $8,400 for a package treatment. No way can I afford that. I'll have to keep looking and in the meantime I'm stuck using a standard razor.
Anyways, my legal name and gender has officially changed. Yay! I'm no longer Christopher Blair [last name]. I'm now Kristen Joanne [same last name]. I received the name change letter in the mail on December 24th, Christmas Eve, and I received the gender change sometime earlier this January.
My other roommate was a 65 year old lady who was an absolutely horrid monster. Bitter, angry, and utterly spiteful. She stole things, she sabotaged parts of the house to break down, and every word that came out of her mouth was angry and nasty. When she moved out, she stole a LOT of stuff. She stole light bulbs, toilet paper, utensils, and all the lids on my coffee mugs.
I had to spend most of my savings replacing everything that she stole. There's really no point in filing a police report because the stuff she took is cheap insignificant stuff. It's really not worth the effort, but damn am I angry about it. I was trying to save up for laser and this knocked out my savings. But they're gone and that's all that really matters. I have the whole house to myself which is awesome. I can finally practice my voice lessons without being interrupted.
I also recently finished a major part of my bachelors degree and it's the business capstone. It's an accumulation of everything I've learned in the past year. The class was such a big deal that it broke my fear of going full time. The final project of this class is to draw up a new product, the business model behind it, and pitch it to a classroom full of venture capitalists. I had to go full time and dressed in a business suit. Here's the pictures:
I had to throw in a picture of my cute boots that I wore. They're a little muddy due to all the rain that day, but they look super cute and I absolutely love them. My bedroom mirror is also a little dirty, please excuse the mess :-P
But anyways, I'm still fighting with my health insurance which, it turns out, is owned and paid for by my employer. Anthem is simply the company my employer pays to run it, but the company pays for everything. They've been rejecting my medical claims and making all sorts of excuses. Their latest excuse is that some medical treatments are gender specific and aren't allowed to be used by the opposite gender. I seemed to have convinced my HR representative, but she asked me to write her a letter the argument I was making for her to present to the company policy writers. I'll include the letter in another post.
Aside from all of that, it's been fairly quiet, so that will do it for this blog post I guess.
