its the end of august and everyone is moving in the uni quarters in Gent, theres people hauling fridges, desk chairs, matresses, decorative plants and whatever other start of the schoolyear essentials there are.

i just got back from my monthly psychologist appointment at the university hospital.
we broke small ground on some topics, went over some others again.
my psychologist put my case forward to the gender team, they denied my request to start hormone therapy.
well, they postponed it but it came across as a refusal. i think i held it together well.

she explained nicely to me that its about damage control. because people who know themselves have a better transitioning experience. and i nodded nicely because i understand that.

i already contacted my old psychologist about restarting appointments with her again because thats a non negotiable for them, for starting HRT.

good news is that i might be able to move my cats in with us sooner than expected.
