Transition and thoughts

So yeah a very good friend of mine, today got some good news. He has just kind of started his journey.

I am rather happy for him :)

But it has made me think about my own transition, and the fact that I am still waiting about. Local mental health is taking forever.
But I am also thinking about the fact that just over a year ago, I was so ignorant to so much of the LGBTQ world. It has been a long and difficult journey. Doesn't help with being depressed and stuff.
I have made some wonderful friends along this journey, and learnt a lot about people and the issues they go through.

Life is pretty weird.

But I am questioning bits about myself, that maybe I shouldn't.
The Pandora's box of issues that are related to being trans.
Identity and all the other parts. It is complicated. But I guess the best thing I can do is find the bits that work for me, and the bits that don't, move on from them.
The advice of Kate Bornstein. I guess it should work.

It is an interesting thing, being trans at times. And with my family slowly getting used to it too, things do seem to be on the up.

Just a short one really about some general thoughts :)
