Ah, welcome new person.

-throws rainbow confetti-

it is more that I am a very old person, but thank you regardless :)

Kind of bummed I didn't manage to get any more of that email written over the weekend.

Ay bi congrats on the hormones.

@Sixthhokage 1 Same here. Pretty much why I left Tumblr. :/ I find it very... sad how exclusionists, especially the young ones, have so much hate and think they're justified in it. They found an "acceptable target" and now they just. won't let it go because I guess it gives them a power rush.

Also a few weeks ago I realized that, in addition to being homoromantic and asexual, I'm also demiromantic and possibly polyamorous. Yay for further self-discovery?

Further self discovery. Tumblr can be ok if you are very careful who you follow, though having to check if someone is an exclusionist gets exhausting.

I mostly follow friends and fanblogs. I only hear of the hellscape secondhand.

Same. And if I see any of that exclusionist bullshit, I make sure to block the OP.

So apparently a main character from Brooklyn Nine-Nine was confirmed to be bi.

Cool

Her actress is openly bi too.

And the character had been headcanoned as being bi for quite a while (with the actress fully supporting it before the official confirmation). I keep getting the show recommended for me to watch, this is just more incentive for me to finally find the time to watch it once finals are over.

It is a fantastic show. And yeah, said character has a girlfriend and even said, "I'm bi." So that was cool.

I have never seen Brooklyn but my girlfriend likes it, so that's neat.

OK so I'm probably going to call that email done as-is and get it fired off tomorrow.

Hopefully if she asks to talk about it face to face I don't clam up like I have with everyone else who I've had to speak to in person about it. A list which upsettingly included the doctor I was trying to get my referral from the first time.

If she asks to speak in person I’d say be honest and say that you’ve had trouble talking about it in person in the past, so that if you do clam up she understands, or you could even just say “if I try to talk about it in person I tend to panic, can we talk about it via email first?” Shit if it’s just a speaking thing you could always suggest sitting in the same room and texting/emailing, that way you’d get practise talking about it with a person who is in front of you, but you wouldn’t have to make the step of actual talking verbally about it.

And the bell has been rung on that one. The email's been sent.

Livestream

So the cliff notes of the reply I've gotten (when my connection stopped fooling around and let me read the damn thing) is that yes, I can get support with dealing with my employer(s) and co-workers when the time comes, that if needs be I can discuss it with the service over email rather than face-to-face if I am more comfortable / able to do it that way, and an offer to help find more general transition support if I feel I need it.

Nice!

Also #EatShitLyle is trending on Twitter bc of Lyle Shelton, our most obnoxious homophobe.
