Today, I received a call from the head nurse for the British traditional Pre-admission Paperwork Meeting. We covered my medical history, allergies, and scheduling. She confirmed every detail from my regular GP to my penicillin intolerance to bowel movements to whether I was certain I wanted the surgery. Oddly, they still use that rather offensive classification for transfolk based on when they knew they weren’t born with the right bits. Some of it was quite silly, but the details we covered drove one single point home quite well. I am getting close - very close.

As my mom would say, “Hot damn!”
