The other post is much too big and it's not moving, which is unfortunate because I need money to survive the month. Very much disabled, very much going through it with medical bills, credit card bills and the like. Things will be slightly improved for me in September with some business things but honestly until I can write book 2, I'm boned. Um! So, I need like $500 to make it through the rest of the month, I am going to start the count over as I gave what I made to my parents for groceries and gas.

This is what I was alluding to when I discussed that the volume of name changes you have to make as a trans person highlights the ridiculous amount of documentation attached to you.
