However, she is experiencing some fairly typical difficulties in her relationship with her long-time partner, Matthew.
Ninah’s recent gender-affirming transition has left her feeling healthy and vibrant in that area for what she reliably reports is the first time in her life. He respects where they’re at with things and has appreciated the support they’ve given, but needs an outside source to talk through his anxiety. It’s difficult for him to get support around this sort of thing because, although family has expressed moderate support, he’s suspicious that discussing the details may be more than they can handle right now.
He is certain that the surgery is going to improve his life drastically, though this hasn’t stopped him from his experiencing his share of pre-operative nerves. He doesn’t know who to talk to about all his fears surrounding coming out.īrett is about to embark on his first gender-affirmation surgery after having taken years to save enough money to do so - his insurance company does not reimburse for this procedure. His fear is necessarily well-founded - his family has made it obvious that they won’t be supportive, as have a handful of family-friends who felt at-liberty to weigh-in. No one knows that Keith is part of the Trans* community, and to be clear, he doesn’t particularly want anyone to know because he is so afraid of their reactions. Luckily for Hannah, her family and friends are very supportive, though she still experiences moderate anxiety and depression, mostly related to difficulties within her school and community. As time went on, it became apparent that Hannah’s sex-assignment was not in-keeping with her gender identity. When she began saying that she felt like a girl, her parents thought it was a passing phase. Growing up, she’d always wanted to dress like a girl, and didn’t want to do things her male peers found interesting. Her sex-assignment at birth was male, but it did not match Hannah’s own subjective experience. It's wonderful that you can earn lots of money, but for obvious economic reasons, very few people can.Hannah was diagnosed with gender dysphoria when she was twelve. Isn't there a Scottish proverb something like "The rank is but the guinea stamp, the man's the good?" If someone doesn't earn much money, or even none at all, it doesn't make them less valuable as a person or make them less happy than someone much richer (I speak from experience, being a single parent and having only found a new, fairly low-paid job 6 months ago after the last company I worked for folded in October 2011). It must save the economy billions of pounds. I also don't think the renumeration provided for jobs necessarily reflects their actual societal value women fill the overwhelming majority of low-paid but essential positions (cleaners, carers, shop assistants and so on) and many so-called SAHMs are carers etc with no pay at all for this. I like my belongings very much and I've worked hard to earn the money to buy them but there's no effort involved in handing cash over - it's just a transaction. I have lots of things that I've bought, but I wouldn't really say I was proud of them or that they eflect on me (I'm a human being, not a human having :) ). If we had to go back to watching every penny (we aren't exactly earning huge amounts but we're fairly comfortable atm) I would find it difficult but it wouldn't be the end of the world as long as we were all healthy.
#Did you just subsume my gender free#
I have had very lean times where I have worried about every penny I spent and yet I was still very grateful for the health of my family and the pleasure we got from the free things in life. He has no desire to be a sahp but may end up being one at least for a while if he hasn't found a different job by the time this company goes bust. I suppose that's easier because I work ft too but i do wish he earned more so I could be a sahm or even cut down to pt work. If he lost his job (as he is likely to in the next couple of months due to the imminent bankruptcy of the company he works for) I would definitely tell him it is ok and we will find a way to work it out while he looks for another job. We have separate accounts and share expenses so we each have a similar amount of 'spare' cash.
