The fact that you didn't see this coming and have your passport already in place..... Cut yourself some slack.
It's not that I didn't see it coming. I knew it was a possibility. It did happen faster than I expected. But I did see it as a distinct possibility. I just kept getting overwhelmed, thinking about doing it. I only obtained my birth certificate a few years ago. When I left home, my parents at wouldn't give me my birth certificate. Then, they gave me a document about being born abroad. I don't know if that's all they had or what. I guess I assumed it was? Because of that, I just stalled and never tried to get a passport. But then when I got to this idiotic state, I couldn't get a driver's license without it. So, I did, but it was a huge hassle. There's always anxiety about getting legal documents for me, because of being trans. I struggle to read legal/government forms and fill them out correctly because of dyslexia. All that piled up and froze me. I should have pushed through though.
@scout86 Thanks for sharing that story. I am very similar in my beliefs and will talk to anyone as long as it's a civil conversation.
ok, will come back to more replies later but am out of time
